    Are there any kiddy concerts playing anywhere near you? Tickets for the big girls could work - even just movie tickets. We haven't taken Nat to the movies yet (and she's 4) but I think she'd probably do ok and quite a number of her friends have been before. Then maybe a separate gift for the 1yo (and who can guess what they'll latch onto at that age, LOL! Everything and nothing...)

    One combined gift that has been great for my kids was the addition of a sand/water table. Both of them at 3 and 1 enjoyed it (the sand got too messy for me so I just made it a water table) and during summer they happily played together for ages with it!

    Otherwise, I second the art supplies, or Gelli Baff & bath crayons & bath toys. (Bath toys are always a goer IMO because they get so grungy after a while if you don't keep up with keeping them super clean so I am always chucking stuff out.)

    Thumbs up bday cakes

    Hi! You might want to ask their parents if you can handle the buying of their birthday cake/s.
    I think it is a nice idea to give birthday cakes so it would be more personalized.

    Depending on budget and if they have it already:

    * sand/water table
    * Mini kitchen
    * craft packs
    * Books (set of something)
    * Fish - obviously before buying a pet you'd need to ask parents

    Otherwise i'd suggest asking the parents if there is anything they NEED, i much prefer people ask to get an idea than just buying random things.
