2nd child birthday gift

jcieply · March 2015

Hey ladies. I haven't posted in ages but I am stumped and need your help. I have a daughter who just turned 2.5 and obviously Penelope will be one in April. I have NO idea what to tell people to get her for her birthday . We have about 60 people coming and I can't think of one thing. I first said a cozy coupe because her sister still loves hers, but do we really need two cozy coupes? I can't push two at the same time. I just feel like we have everything from big sis. Has anyone ever been in this situation or have any ideas? I want it to be special for her like her sisters first birthday was. Asking for money wouldn't work with this group of people . I thought about clothes, but how boring for her . TIA!
Here's a pic of my ladies for fun.

How about books, puzzles, little people, mega blocks...things that have taken a beating or been lost or abused over the years of LO 1 using them? We got a ton of hand me down toys from my hubbys sister and a lot of the books and puzzles had a lot of the pieces missing or have been gnawed on so it will be nice for her to have her own to destroy... maybe a water table or something they can both enjoy?

I am in the same boat. I have a few ideas but we have so much already!

I'll hop in that boat too. My A14 baby is #3 and not only do I not need anything, but I seriously don't want anything else in my house. Here's some ideas though (from all the crap we already have). Wagon, tent, tunnel, rocking horse, ride on toy, Little People Doll House, FP Car ramp (seems like a boyish toy but it's fun for both), anything that pops balls out, music instruments, mini trampoline w/ bar, doll stroller, grocery cart/play kitchen stuff, big nobby puzzles.
Good luck!!

c is my first and we already have too much stuff. I'm going to say no gifts please and tell my mom to buy outdoor toys since she will buy a gift anyway. I can't imagine any more toys or clothes or books! Not sure that will work for your crowd... Maybe find one large gift that would be nice and people can pool funds together to purchase?
