I have always thought that registries for Birthday parties were a little tacky. However, multiple people have asked me to set up a registry for Avery's 1st Birthday. I suggested they go to the store and play with toys and find something fun. They were not a fan of that idea and have asked again. I have decided that I will put together a wish list on Amazon and if someone asks, send them the link. I will not be just distributing it. I also told them we are having a party to celebrate and that it is not about gifts, they didnt like that answer either.
So, since I dont have the time to go play at the toy store, link me up with some good toys that you either have and LO loves or you would like to get for LO. There is 40 people with family and another 20 friends or so.
Re: Help with registry...
Here are some toys that LO loves, we have a girl so the picnic basket may not work.

Do you have a push toy? Liam LOVES that thing, we have one hand me down that is Playskool & looks like this one:
and my MIL didn't realize we already had a hand me down, and bought this one (so we made the hand me down one an outside toy):

We have the same one and LO loves it, just cruises around the living room constantly bumping into furniture.

I dont want to link right now but the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Learning Home.
Caraline loves it. She would always play with it at play groups so we decided to get her one.
I looooooooooooove "I Love You Through and Through"! LOVE. I've read it to DS1 for years now; it was one of his first favorites, and remains one of mine. The words are cute, and it was an easy way for him to learn some body parts. Love that book.
