What are you asking for (Birthday Gifts)

SWILM

Our house already looks like toys r us so I am not sure what we should tell people when they ask about what to get DS for his birthday. 

He also has SO many clothes. I'm at a loss for what to tell people. We still want to get him stuff too.

 

Please give me some ideas!!!

He's always going to need more clothes so you can ask for gift cards to the stores you like.  That's probably what we will do since we are almost set for his 18 month fall wardrobe and 24 month summer for next year.

My family gives out money like candy so i am expecting clothes, money,toys that will be used once then thrown and beaten up!

If you don't need clothes or toys how about books or savings bonds.

I have actually quit buying clothes for DD.  She's the only girl grandchild on both sides ( I have 4 nephews), and the grandmas go a little overboard shopping for her. (Not complaining, I love the saved money:). I'm assuming they will spoil her rotten on her b-day, but we're having a really small party (15 people), so I'm not too worried. 

What my brother and SIL do when they get too many toys for my nephews is that they bring some of the toys to my parents' house and to SIL's parents' house.  Then they don't have to bring toys when they visit. 

You could ask for books, or for the next size clothes.  Or pajamas.  DH and I aren't buying toys for Nora for her b-day.  Instead, we've signed her up to go to music class with me (on Saturday mornings).

hocus:

 Annual membership to the Zoo or local museum?

LOVE this idea, we have a zoo and a science museum and a childrens learning center really close by, but its super expensive to pay per visit

On the invites, I added that if anyone wants to get him a gift, we would appreciate gift cards to toys-r-us in order to buy him a swingset in the spring (those suckers are expensive!). He has more toys and clothes than we need.
