What should be on DD's Xmas/birthday wish list?

[aspentosh]

We've had a few family members call and ask for present ideas for DD. No idea what to tell them since we've got a lot of the basics (clothes, books, etc) and bigger things (convertible car seat, laugh and learn house, etc) already. DD will be 1 in January.

For those that have 1-2 year olds, do you recommend anything? Links get you 5394875 bonus points ;D

people are asking us and we're focusing on things in the 18-24+ month category-puzzles, little people toys, duplo blocks.

Thank you for that list! All the ones I have found at 0-24 months. Talk about a huge range

no problem! I love the Baby Cheapskate list. it's nice that it separates it by age so we can look ahead... i use it for consignment sales too

-Haba blocks
-a wagon
-a doll & stroller
-a ride on toy (there are tons of options)
-a push toy (IKEA has a cheap one that can double as stroller/shopping cart)
-a music table
-a little piano or Melissa & Doug music box set
-an aqua doodle
-my first Dollhouse (FP)
-bath toys

Ill think of more...having 3 girls, we've owned nearly everything so if you want a review of most stuff I can give you one

The PBK anywhere chair is a huge 1st bday gift in my circle of friends. It seems all the kids get it from either the parents or grandparents.

DD was really into tents during this time. I also got her one of the PBK knock off chairs from Sam's. She still uses it.

[aspentosh]

Is the PBK chair just for them to lounge/read in, or am I missing a bigger purpose?

A wagon! How could I forget a wagon?!

Thank you for all the suggestions. I have some researching to do

I refer to this list often and then buy them on Amazon cheaper

Though dd has a bunch of those toys and she's spent her morning playing with a stack of paper cups...

DS plays with our phones and TV/receiver remotes probably 3x as much as he does with other toys.

Ah yeah. DD is obsessed with my phone and our remote. Doubt that'll change
