What are good short-term (2yr) investment options?

• money investment options
• money for investment definition
• higher purchase

Let's say I want to invest some money that I won't need for another 2-3 years. Where would I put this money and what rate can I expect to receive?

I've seen that I can get about 1.05% from Ally bank. I'd like higher return, something that at least keeps up with inflation.
