3 year old and 1 year old birthday gifts

Dd1 is about to be 3 and dd2 about to be 1. People are asking what to get them for their birthdays. I have no clue. We literally have so much stuff it makes me insane.

Any suggestions?

3 year old and 1 year old birthday gifts

Dd is in the middle at 2, and I'm struggling bc she has a lot of the big things-kitchen, easel, table set, iPad, water table, bounce house, trike, playground.

I put a lot of learning toys on her wish list, and arts and crafts stuff. New books are also always welcome, and I'll suggest memberships as gifts bc we use the ones we have constantly.

Magna tiles and board games for your older one. Calico critters has been a new love for both my girls (4 & 1.5) but I have to hide away the smallest pieces, There's a little house with keys and little people you can lock in each door from M&D we just got and they love. For your younger one mauve her own baby doll and a personalized diaper bag set that's her own. We have a pottery barn one that's cute.

What about memberships to the aquarium or children's museums? Or season pass to adventureland or open play passes for a bounce place or something? Experiences instead of just stuff.

I would love it if someone got us a membership to adventureland or the aquarium. We already have a membership to the children's museum. They could also do a subscription to abc mouse - my friend has it and loves it! Cameras are also great for little ones- my 3 year old has one of my old digital cameras and he loves it!

For smaller gifts, I always welcome books, puzzles, board games (we love pop the pig, hungry hippos, hi ho cherry oh, connect 4, candyland). It's so hard because they have so much stuff. I also have a3 year old and a1 year old. We requested dress up stuff (super heroes), art supplies, my 3 year old got a tricycle, my one year old got a backyard ride on toy, books, clothes, and board games.

Good question. We are struggling with this too. Is there anything you never got for older DD that you can get now? For example, we never got a Cozy Coupe so we'll get it for DS and they'll both use it. I'd love to get DD a motorized car but she's a daredevil and I just don't think she's ready for it.

I like the idea of experiences. Memberships, maybe a show. DD is doing soccer and dance in the fall. If you are doing anything similar, maybe contribution towards the cost or even buying some of the outfits, cleats, etc.

I was going to suggest this as well. We have so many toys... for the holidays I asked family members to get DS gift certificates to Bounce U for open bounce sessions since I know he enjoys that.

Re: 3 year old and 1 year old birthday gifts

We just had my Twin's first Birthday party on Sat. and for anyone that asked, I said clothes and pajamas. Figured that would balance out the amount of toys, clothes and money. They got a really great mix of everything. Not an insane amount of toys. A good amount of cash and a great stash of clothes!

Some great toys they got were Fisher Price laugh and learn kitchen, crawl around car, little people music parade ride-on, laugh and learn my pretty learning purse, leap frog shapes and sharing picnic basket and the little tykes shopping cart.

I have two girls exactly two years apart. I have clothes oozing out of the cracks of the house lol. I have stuff that neither of them even wore.

Great suggestion on toys but the older dd has/had all of that.

I'm thinking memberships. First world problem
