Same . My child is having birthday in December and Christmas too
I did trike and mini trampoline as main birthday presents. Kitchen and mud kitchen as main Christmas presents.
I have asked for money towards a slide and sandpit / water tray for my LG or gift vouchers to get things as and when she needs them
We have mainly just asked for clothes and a bike helmet as he got a balance bike for his birthday. He doesn’t know what’s going on so we’ve told family not to worry about buying x
I've used up all my ideas on birthday next week hard when its so clos I got a mini scribble board in the works £3 and a rainbow stacker £5,a unicorn flashing wand thing,a tower where balls run down it,a 1st braclet from h samuels,stacky cups & a baby doll & pram set
My boy's birthday is Tuesday, we've got him a 2 in 1 wooden trike (a trike that changes into a balance bike when they're older), aqua draw mat, mega bloks bag & mega bloks night garden train (from the 2 for £15 at Argos), a workbench (from the 2 for £15) and then a wooden animal shape sorter. He already has a lot of toys and husbands family usually go overboard with stuff. Then so far for Christmas, I got a Little Tikes cozy coupe car and a set of jcb diggers (from 2 for £15) but i was waiting for the birthday to see what he gets before thinking what else he needs.
A really good idea i saw was a peter rabbit jack in the box that pops up when u wind the handle great for that age
It’s so hard isn’t it with a birthday in November and Christmas the next month. I have no idea what present ideas to give people 🙈
