So I have no idea what to get N for bday/Christmas
Third kid. Second boy. I didn’t get rid of anything so he has basically everything. Lol
Everyone’s asking what he wants. I leeep saying clothes. Some people (aka my MIL) says she DOES NOT buy clothes for 1st birthdays. Lol. Ok then.
So hit me up with any new and improved toys my kid needs.

We also didn't need anything, but for DD2's bday, my parents got her the Little People Safari set and she is obsessed. The ILs got her a ride on toy that she is also obsessed with. So those were both great gifts. Big gifts that take up room, though, so we will have to figure that out. fisher-price.mattel.com/shop/en-us/fp/little-people-share-care-safari-playset-fhf35For Christmas, my parents are getting her this, which again, is something we will need to make room for. But it looks kind of awesome. www.target.com/p/fisher-price-laugh-and-learn-smart-learning-home/-/A-53287468

What about a personalized beach towel for next summer? Someone got them for the girls and they were super cute (and practical). Or a little personalized chair?

Man we do not need any new big toys at our house! I'm not sure what to get for the girls for their birthday or Christmas either, aside from the clothes and a couple of small things I bought already. Currently they are very fascinated with a dehydrator that we haven't taken out of the box yet and also love to steal onions from our fruit/veggie stand. So perhaps dehydrated onions? Really though, maybe another push car because that was DD1's favorite gift that she still uses (thankfully she's been great about letting the girls sit in it).

We are giving C a party for his birthday lol. I did take DS1 shopping and let him pick out whatever he wanted to wrap up and give to C for his birthday. We really do not need any more toys, books, or clothes. If anyone asks for gift ideas, I’ve been telling them experience gifts that we can use for both boys this Winter and next Summer (zoo passes, museum gift cards, etc). We will probably have to get him a few things to wrap up and put under the tree for Christmas. Oh I did find this thing used on FB marketplace for $10. It will be his Santa gift.

We have 3 ride on toys and so many little people sets. So far I’ve just been saying clothes. I like the towel idea. My SIL makes all the kids hooded/cape style towels then embroideres their names on them. I’ll ask her for that.
Experience gifts are good too. I find people don’t want to give them to babies. They want to see them open something. 🙄 it’s not like he will be actually doing any of the opening
I may go look for a block set.

I might get that book for both boys. I remember seeing the advertisements for it last year and it looked cute.

I think top on our list is a toy box, followed by some educational toys and clothes. My parents and ILs keep asking me too, and I can't really come up with anything. Maybe one of those personalized chairs from Pottery Barn. I love the idea of the Lost My Name book, and a towel. He's almost too big for the towel we are using, so timely

Busytoddler.com has some great ideas for toys. I picked a few and added them to my amazon wish list for N’s gifts. I’ll have to go look in store for his birthday but that’s ok.

Can anyone recommend their play kitchen? Thinking of getting that this year so H can grow into it.

Can anyone recommend their play kitchen? Thinking of getting that this year so H can grow into it. I love our play kitchen. Ds2 loves to play in it and ds1 plays in it every day still too. It's not massive and it's wood composite so not that plastic-y look. I got a cheap set of plastic drawers from Target for extra storage. I'll snag a pic after the kids go to bed. They have a coffee maker and I'm giving ds2 a toaster for Christmas.

laurensc927New sprouts is the best play food (heavy duty plastic without big holes that gross stuff can get into, washes easily). Melissa and Doug makes the best utensils and pots/pans (all metal or wooden). Coffee maker is Melissa and Doug. One of my kids hid the top part of the cook top 🤷 it will turn up lol.

We were having the same problem. 2nd kid, 2nd boy. We asked for a museum family pass that the grandparents could split the cost on and they split the zoo pass for E's bday. Our house is 1300 sq feet and we are hoping to do more experience gifts to lessen the crap that has taken over.

Psa toy mixers and coffee makers are on sale on Amazon. I ordered the mixer and a Melissa and Doug veterinarian outfit for ds1 (and ds2 eventually).

Who has a small indoor trampoline? snuff9861 I think I saw some pictures in the private board that you have one? I'm looking to get one for ds3 for xmas and I cant decide if I should get the enclosed one or the one with the bar. I want it big enough to hold both little kids but they're crazy and I'm not sure if it'd be better to get the one with the enclosure so they won't get hurt
