Has anyone thought about what they are going to be giving their LO for their birthday?
I've been looking at PBK Anywhere chairs. I can't think of anything else to get a one year old. Maybe a wagon? Does anyone have a PBK chair? Are they too big for a one year old?
I'm looking into those, a small table and chair set from Ikea, one of those red/yellow push cars by Little Tykes I believe, or a Radio Flyer 4-in-1 trike. I would only get one of the above, not all!

Both kids got the PBK chair for Christmas from my mom. Edie TOTALLY loves hers. Adeline's isn't even at our house yet because both wouldn't fit in the car.
But if a kiddo isn't TV ready or independently reading books (or playing "pieces" on your phone), I think it'd just be a huge waste of space (it's big).

Jamie has one! I was actually gonna get one for him for his birthday but someone beat me to it! It's cute for pictures but it's hard to get him to stay still in it. It'll be better as he gets bigger - I think it's a great gift

Dixee, I love that radio flyer, I saw it the other day when I was looking at walkers.
Did you see it in person? I'm hoping Edie will use it too. I hope it's tall enough for her. And tall enough to last Adeline until she's a little bit older.

1" strand of tahitian pearls. We are planning to buy a 1" strand for every birthday. When she graduates college or when she gets married, we will give this to her as a gift.

Andrew is getting the Anywhere Chair from my dad. Before my mom died, she got it for all of her grandkids. My dad would have never remembered this, but I did and told him that's what he was getting.

Sweet. My grandmother got both my sister and I a pearl for our birthday and one for Christmas every year. Not that I wear pearls much, but it's nice to have something to clutch if I felt so inclined!
She got the PBK anywhere chair for christmas and she's fine in it now. She won't stay put in it now, but I know it's something that she will grow into. I have no idea what to get her for her birthday! My parents got her a 4-in- 1 radio flyer for her birthday which I thought was a good idea. www.amazon.com/Radio-Flyer-4-in-1-Trike-Red/dp/B003AVIO4K/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

The best gift H received, that is still played with daily, at 1 was her Cozy Coupe. It started off as a climbing apparatus, she took her first unassisted steps after pushing off from it, used it as a car, and now uses it to lug her junk all over. And it's weird but it is an inside toy for us because it was really rainy that winter and she loved it too much to keep it away from her outside.
The next best thing in that year was her little table and chair which she also still uses daily but that was when she was about 18mos.

We bought her the forest themed stuff at ikea, in case they change stock before then. Other than that, I think we're just going to sign her up for a music class.

I'm thinking a wagon too, because it'll be fun to pull her in for spring and summer walks, and it'll also be good to help us garden (I plant vegetables and flowers every year, and I'm hoping A will play in the dirt with me). I'm also looking at toy boxes and rocking horses. Wooden blocks too. She loves to stack and destroy right now.
I was thinking of a cozy coupe. I really want him to get a power wheels but we don't even have a yard because we're in an apartment!! But aahh, I want him to have one!

We have yet to buy DD anything for her birthday and likely won't for DS's first. They already have enough and aren't old enough to say hey where's the one from you.
That's so awesome!! Our yard is a nice big hill, so we can't DH plans on building her a playhouse though some time. But I want a swingset more than anything!

I think they will just be getting cake and maybe dresses from us. They already have more stuff than they play with, and I know the grandparents will go nuts again. Plus we are trying to buy a house.
I already got her a play kitchen and accessories that were too good of deals to pass up during the pre-christmas deals. It's in a flat box in our office, so not taking up space. I need stuff for both of them to dink around on this summer when it is hotter than hell outside and I am hopefully preggers. We're also probably putting in a playscape in the next month or so, but not birthday specific.
For DD1 we got her a Pandora bracelet with one charm for her first birthday. We plan to get her a charm each year for her birthday.
She received a wagon, one of the car things with a handle (this was a great gift, we kept it inside during the winter and used it inside), and she got a play kitchen for her second birthday.
We are thinking of getting her a PBK's anywhere chair for her third birthday in a few weeks.
For DD1's first birthday we will probably do the bracelet again and maybe the chair? No idea since we have a lot of stuff.

We probably won't buy her anything. She doesn't need anything so I would just be buying even more plastic stuff we don't have room for. We have so many baby toys that people have given us.
there are things I can think of to buy her, but all my ideas are things that would start when she's older, like her first set of skis, a tricycle, a swing set etc. For now I can't think of anything that she needs that we wouldn't just be buying for the sake of having a gift to hand her. I figure we'll be buying plenty of useless crap for that reason once she's old enough to understand what's going on and what presents are.
I think the pre baby me would be horrified at how I didn't buy my daughter gifts for christmas or for her first birthday, however the post baby me is much poorer. ha
To be honest I think we just got Juliana a couple toys one ride/push toy thing and maybe some clothes. R will most likely get whatever she happens to need at the time...which might be that dress and swimsuit from J&J I am coveting!

Oh and D is getting a dress, a party, and a expensive cake from the allergen bakery ( damn allergic kids! ) from us. I will take H to pick out something very small to encourage sibling giving.
