You could do a space theme. I've found lots of really whimsical things on etsy for space themed birthdays.

We're doing Yo Gabba Gabba. haha

I don't have any original ideas but we did a cowboy theme. It turned out pretty cute.

My DD loves zebras so I am looking for stuff to do around that. I found a great jungle theme that I may get and have a zebra on the cake.

We did a pirate theme. There was so much fun stuff out there. Everyone really go into it.

We did teddy bears. We used our teddies and friends' teddies to decorate. I always get inspired from bday party invites websites. I like https://www.polkadotdesign.com/catalog/Party/Childrens_Parties for ideas.

Well since your DS's birthday is in March it wouldn't really work for you but we did a WinterONEderland and I bought a bunch of snowflake, wintery decorations and her cake was a #1 with snowflakes and wintery colors.

We did a monkey theme, because we have always called DS "our little monkey" We did everything in yellow and brown and it turned out great.

Here are a few other ideas:

1st Birthday "Ball" (everything was ball themed, soccer balls, baseballs, basketballs etc. SUPER cute)

Dinosaurs, Farm animals, Luau, rubber duckies, Trains/Trucks/Planes- transportation type theme

I am not a fan of character themed parties. Especially at this age, DS wouldn't even know who it is! Plus, he'll want those themes when he is older so for now I get to do what I want! Good Luck! I started planning DS's when he was 4 months old!

DD's b-day is May 1st, so I did a garden theme. I made a butterfly cake & had flowers/bees/butterflies on all the decorations, etc. It was really cute!

Here's the cake I made:
