I am coming up blank with ideas for Christmas gifts for my 16 month old. She has all of her older sister's toys. What are you planning on for gifts for your LO's this holiday season?

I just ordered a few things on zulily today: a plush rocking "horse" (although it's a train instead of a horse), and four-wheeled wooden "bicycles" that they'll sit on and push with their feet. I'm also going to get a toy kitchen (they already have pots snd pans and plates and cutlery and toy food), and lots of books.
Passes to a local zoo or childrens museum with a stuffed animal/toy or something from the place? I know they will have no idea what it is but it would be a good chance to get that
I just scored an Ikea play kitchen on Craigslist that we're saving for Christmas.
Oh, and hand puppets. Last year we bought a big secondhand puppet theater which we would like to put up soon, so I'll be getting them some puppets for Christmas.
And I second @sarabell52 on the kid-height toy organizer. I just bought one from land of nod because it was driving me crazy how unorganized their toys were - they didn't know how to play with the ring stacker or shape sorter because all the pieces were strewn all over the place and not in one place - now we have a 3-bin storage box (a bin for musical toys, one for play food/ cookware and another for books. The ring stacker and shape sorter and blocks are all on top, which is the perfect height for them to play at. They love it!
@sarabell52, what I that tower exactly?!? I just saw one in our local CL, but they weren't selling it cheap an I can't exactly figure out what it does.
@PumpkinAndThePeanut, my mom bought Emmett the airplane rocker off Zulily last Christmas and he LOVES it. The music it plays it pretty lame, but it's great other than that.
We are getting dd a kitchen, since she loves to act like she's cooking. I'm also looking at a toy chest for her. I know my parents are getting her this vintage tea table and they are so excited about it. I'm also getting a disney movie for her collection and maybe a few smaller things.
ETA: I don't want to get her to much since the family gets her a lot too.
BFP#1- April 24th. M/c-April 30th. BFP#2-September 11th. EDD: May 25th.
It's a girl!!! (:
Madison arrived on May 19th at 6:35 am (:
I actually went last night shopping for my little guy. I got him a drs. Bag set, a basket ball hoop, soft tee ball set, a magnetic Melissa and Doug fishing pole with fish, a play kitchen with pots and pans, and some play food for the kitchen. I am sure I will end up buying a few more things but the bulk of it is done!
@PumpkinAndThePeanut We got R the baseball rocker and he loves it. He finally got the hang of rocking. Word of advice those damn things play songs nonstop because the buttons are where the belly hits. Ours has 3 standard songs then the top of the hat plays take me out to the ball game. I now hate that song.
Honestly I'm dreading Christmas because all of the grandparents and aunts and uncles are out of state so every time we see them, they get R big gifts. I don't have any more room! I think we'll ask and get him DVDs, DH wants to get him the power wheels jeep (the dogs are already scared). I'm also thinking one of those cute mini backpacks from pottery barn. He loves to put things in his bag for school and tries to carry it or my purse but it's too big for him.
Well, my MIL took our "santa" gift idea from us and is going to purchase it for him: A plastic climbing toy with a slide.
I just found him a set of waffle blocks, we're going to get him the new Pete the Cat book, and I'm looking at finding him a play kitchen as his new Santa gift, and if I find that we might get him food and stuff to go with it.
I've been trying to decide on a few good gifts that he will enjoy while not cluttering up our lives:) I want to get C a kitchen but my H thinks they're for girls...ugh. The funny part is, H is the cook in our house so I don't really get it. He was obsessed with a leapfrog laptop that we saw at the store so I'll probably get him that, along with a couple of books and some clothes.

Still need to decide on a big gift.
