Gift Ideas for my 1 year-old

I cannot believe that my baby boy will be 1 next week!

We're thinking about his birthday gifts but don't really know what to get him. The only 2 things that are definites for now are the Cozy Coupe and a set of WOW Race Cars.

What are some great toy ideas for a soon to be 1 year-old? We also have a 4 yo DS so we already have lots of toys but I still want to get DS2 some new things that are all his own. I'm open to all ideas. We have lots of space and a big yard. I'm still looking for his "big" gift. Turning 1 is big to me.

For DS1's 1st bday we got him an all-terrain Radio Flyer wagon and this great rocking horse on springs that he loved. He also got a huge party which DS2 isn't getting because we moved OOS 3 months ago and are all alone over here:(

Does he have a fisher price laugh and learn house? or a laugh and learn table?

You can get a set of megablocks, they even have the megablocks dump trucks which are cool.

DD's big 1st gift was the radio flyer 3 in 1 tricycle.

If you were looking for more outdoor ideas, you could also do a water table or one of the half-sand/half-water tables.

Maybe a ride on toy for inside the house if you don't already have one.

We also got a personalized puzzle piece step stool which was really nice.

DD got the rody horse for her second birthday and loves it. It says 2+ but I can't imagine a one year old not loving that! We got her a jr. workbench for her first birthday and she still loves that! A personalized chair, a cute bookcase with new books, a kitchen. For outside, a water table, small climber with slide, a swing, playhouse.

On dd's first bday she already had the pb chair, the laugh and learn toy (hand me down) I knew my brother and parents were getting her some big ticket items. So I scheduled a professional photo shoot and did pics with my grandma, mom, myself and her (she's named after gma) so 4 generations! DH snuck in some too. They came out great and she'll have them to treasure as her great grandma won't be around forever.

Thanks everyone for the ideas. It's really hard when you have a older DS of the same gender.

I love the Rody but that's on the list for Christmas (when DS1 will get the Gymini ball made by the same company). A ride-on (a quad) is also on the list for Christmas bc DS1 will likely be getting one for his bday in October.

A water table is a good idea. Ours broke so we didn't bring it with us. We have a climber from DS1 that my parents got him and we have a swing set that we got when DS1 was 2.5. And we did a photoshoot last month and are doing a cake smash too (although the photographers here don't touch the photographers we are lucky enough to have on LI. So frustrating and disappointing.)

Ugh! I wouldn't care so much about the gift since we have so many things already from DS1 it's just that we relocated OOS so DS2 isn't getting any kind of bday party (except for DH, DS1 and I singing him happy bday and cutting a cake) whereas DS1 had a huge 1st bday in our backyard with a tent, amazing balloon centerpieces, etc, etc. Feel like DS2 is getting cheated Just sad that he won't be surrounded by so many people who love him for his big day. He has no idea I know but I just feel so sad about it. What if one day he looks back and asks where his party pics are. I'm still feeling guilty that I never did his birth annoucement.
