Help. Parents asking what presents to bring for 3 yr olds party

[TiddlesUpATree]

What is the polite way to respond. He doesn't need anything but I know when I go to a kids party I like choosing something for them. Don't want to ask for something specific and don't want anyone to feel they need to bring anything.

[meglet]

art and craft bits. pens and pencils. Playdoh etc.

basically anything that can be put away and used up over a few months.

[babybouncer]

I tend to ask for things he doesn't have, often more traditionally 'girls' toys - crafting, books, cooking etc. - because anothe five small lego kits is just irritating.

[NotCitrus]

Paint, large pads of paper, playdoh, books.
Things that get used up or can be regifted if not a hit.

[SnowWhiteAteTheApple]

When younger we always went with arts and crafts / colouring books as they get used up easily especially on school projects.

I do appreciate people asking me; I am sure there are certain things your son likes more than others. My dd got a medical set and a cookery set which she ignored as she prefers dolls, animals and girly stuff

[VikingLady]

I go for books. Easy to regift if duplicated or unwanted
