I would love to get a kitchen but we have zero room. Ditto to the small table and chairs. I might could rearrange again and fit a toddler sized desk?
This is my list for grandparents/aunts/uncles:
Zoo membership Annual pass to a local park we love Class membership? Swimming or kindermusik or tumbling depending on what seems like it'll be the best for him at the time.
Kitchen Grocery cart Cozy coupe Tool set Cars ramp Table and chairs
The thing is we have very little room too. So I am trying to figure out what stuff to prioritize and finding compact size.
lilyelayne, I did see a kitchen at discovery toys that collapses into a small square maybe 12x12? It's obviously not huge set up but I am am intrigued and going to look at reviews
I am also pondering looking into a leap pad or something for birthday. I haven't really looked into them, but we travel by car a lot and already have plans for this next summer and I think it could be something that would be increasingly useful for entertainment in the car. I am not sure.
Here's what we are going to ask for so far. Trying to avoid toys because we have so many already:
-Zoo membership -New magna doodles (also great for car trips) -Practical gifts like undies, socks, clothes -Possibly $ for a Disney vaca (if we decide on trying for #3 we will probably wait on this trip) -kids magazine subscription (already bought) -new bed sheets (already bought) -Disney movies for their collection
Also if you are looking for a nice table and chairs set we got this: Stakmore Juvenile Kids 3 Piece Square Table And Chair set. It is completely foldable, not too big space wise but not too small that it won't work for a growing child (my tall, almost 4 year old fits well still too). It's made really well and fits nicely into our house decor.
Living near DC makes the memberships Al! most useless lol. I mean I m really not complaining at all the free things to do but i do love the idea of gifted memberships.
i'm really going to have to talk myself down from buying her EVERYTHING. she has so many toys and our house isn't that big. i'll box up some toys she's playing with less before then to prepare, and will probably move some stuff to her room too. up until now we've kept her room very sleep oriented, and there aren't really any toys there - only books.
my only certain gift right now is a kitchen. i'm going to get the ikea one and remodel it. so excited.
I wish we had room for a kitchen or something similar and the zoo we like to go to is free (only takes donationsome so no membership option) so she will probably get more little toys like puzzles and stuff. I also wish I could get rid of some of her baby toys but she still plays with EVERYTHING! I always tell people books if they ask what to get her. I wanted to do a sled last year but we didn't get as much snow as we normally do but maybe this year. I have been buying outside things as they go on sale to give her for her birthday so she will have stuff for summer but now I have to store it.
