Birthday present ideas for my 3 year old boy

[kungfubecca]

Probably a bit late for this suggestion, but every now and then I set aside some time, where I don't have to be anywhere in a hurry, and i follow DS around the toy section of big w or target, and watch what he likes best.

I generally have less trouble finding something and more trouble thinking about what I'm going to do with all the toys he gets from the rest of the family that i don't want in my house.

Hi Rebecca,
Yes I totally agree on the presents from relatives. Hopefully I get a bulk of clothes as that would be alot more useful. A few relo's ask me what he would like and then he gets what he's into which is great. I will try that, I have once before where we discovered he is getting a scooter from my SIL. The run around at BIG W resulted in a HUGE tantrum and we left lol as he wanted the toys NOWWW!!!

I am soooooo excited I bought his presents yesterday. I bought him a 5 in one easel, chalkboard, felt etc. I know he'll love that, it came to me yesterday as I had been thinking so hard what to buy him. I also got a shopping trolley as he loves to put his 'babies' in his car and drives them around. We also got him a crayola digital camera 3+. Was so surprised to see that as usually they are 5+. He will love that! Those presents are from me, MIL and SIL. So all done

They sound like fantastic presents.

Good luck on the only getting a pile of clothes.

I'm at a loss how I will get my relatives to stop buying so much rubbish for my kids.

I don't car about the $$ they spend, but one quality thing is better than a pile of junk. and buy them clothes before they start asking for big stuff.

My 5yo niece told her mum se wanted a nintendo ds for her birthday the other day. We can't work out how she knows what one is???
