I don't think we will get him anything. He has more than enough stuff and he isn't going to know the difference anyway. He will have tons of presents to open at his party, I'm sure.
I wanted to get him some fun outside stuff, but I haven't found anything I want and it will be a few months before it will be warm enough to enjoy them. I was thinking a water table and a trike type thing we can push him in that grows with him. And probably a pool.
Shoes. Practical, but now that she wants to walk everywhere, she needs them. Plus she is the ONLY baby in the family on both sides right now, so she doesn't need any spoiling from me.
We got her about 15 new outfits, a personalized block shelf with her name on it from etsy, money in her 529, a bubble lawn mower, mega blocks, tree swing, 4 pairs of shoes, and we are renting out a business's outdoor sign for a week that will say happy 1st birthday then her name. Then we will take her picture beside of it every year as tradition. Thought it'd be cute.
We got him a bubble machine, and I'm going to wrap up a box of tissues just for him....he LOVES to pull out tissues one at a time. We are also thinking about a bike, but I can't find one I like that he can use this summer and also grow with. What are you girls that are getting bikes/trikes getting?
We just got him low key stuff - clothes, books, and a few very small toys. We bought him two big toys for Christmas that he never really took to, so we decided to wait on the Radio flyer trike, etc...
We told anybody that asked the same thing - books and clothes. I think he's outfitted for summer after yesterday's festivities!
We mostly got stuff he needed like a bin organizer, a growth chart and clothes. For fun stuff a xylophone pull toy, a doll and doll stroller. That's it from us.
We splurged on a swingset since we don't have one and we love going to the park. He shrieks when he sees the swing. He's also getting the radio flyer trike from his aunt. Not sure what else but his party isn't until the 19th.
Between family she is getting: Cozy coupe, water table, marshmallow couch, tunnel, clothes, and a car seat (and possibly a play kitchen!).... This little girl made out like a bandit!

We got her a small little tyke swing and slide set. It's sitting in the box still and tomorrow is her big day! Oops! Her party is Saturday......I confess I am hoping she gets a lot of clothes. My daughter has tons and tons of hand me downs but for some reason there is a huge gap in 12-18 mos and she needs transitional clothes for spring and then again for early fall!

We got DD the Fisher Price Little People Princess castle (she got the Princesses for Christmas). Other than that -- nothing. We have this HUGE consignment/rummage sale thingy next weekend, and I'm hoping to find her a cozy coupe there.
I'm still trying to figure out Easter basket stuff too!
@cfattig SIL got him this, its a push stroller and when they get big enough the handle comes off and its a tryke.
Same. And G LOVES it. She is too little to reach the pedals but it doesn't matter, she is happy as can be even cruising around the house. Can't wait until the rain stops so we can try it outside.
So far, I have just got him a chunky wooden puzzle, but I am hoping to find an age-appropriate Dusty toy (from the movie Planes) that will hopefully be able to double as a cake topper. That's all I'm planning to get. We're keeping it low-key since both DH and I have big families, and we already have a ton of toys!
We got Mia and Lucy a joint gift ( Birthdays are one week apart). We got them a wooden swing set but have since decided to sell our house so I guess we will be waiting to put it up.

Also we'll probably get him a few books. Our kids do NOT need any more toys and I know our families will get him lots of stuff anyway.
