Presents for 1yo ds

My ds will be one a week after Xmas. I am trying to compile Xmas and birthday lists, and need some advice on what we should spend our pennies on. We need to get stuff that will last for a whole year as he won't get a second installment of presents later in the year IYSWIM. He will be walking by then (as he's soooooo close now) and is very active - not one for sitting quietly with shape sorters etc, although he will look at them long enough to bang all the shapes down once. All advice welcome!

How about geting stuff for the summer too - ds was one in august and had slide, swing , sandpit etc... and in toys r us, there are good deals on summer stuff at moment.

Also, ds favourite toy is a v tech tree house - he loves it, that and his ride on.

we gave my ds the fisher price little people farm for his first birthday/christmas and he is still playing with it and he is 2.8.

we're getting ds a bike like this as it will do him up to the age of 4. He has a little peoples ark that he got for his birthday and also plays with the sets dd got for her birthday/xmas several years ago e.g. farm, zoo.

We hardly got DS anything for his first birthday. He got loads from all his adoring relatives and they really don't need many toys. I think we got him a rag doll cos he didn't have any dolls and a big cardboard box with holes cut in it as a den. He adores the den and is still using it every day 4 months later.

Also planning to not get him much for Christmas when he'll be 17 months - he's too little to understand anyway.

My son is the same age. I have bought him a ride on toy and a load of other things to keep in a cupboard for later in the year. At the moment he is very fond of the cardboard tubes from the inside of the wrapping paper and his singing fire engine.
