Presents for a 1 year old with 4 older siblings

Just that really. My little boy will be nearly 1 at Christmas and lovely friends and family want present ideas, from little things to about £100 ish. But he has everything already and I feel like we are at "peak stuff". He has 4 older siblings so every possible toy base is covered (I think, but open to ideas), he has more clothes than I know what to do with, and there's nothing obvious to get in this nursery - but I'm open to any ideas of weird and wonderful gadgets and gizmos I might have forgotten about!
There are a couple of people I can ask if they'd kindly give money, but some people will want to wrap a present.
Hive mind, please tell me what I'm missing :)
(Bonus points if you have ideas for a 6 year old girl!)

My dd got a Martin Gulliver melamine dinner set for her 1st bday and still uses it 5 years later. We also got a lot of use out of a Moredig room projector.

Have you got a Yoto? So good plus extra cards are an easy gift.

My kids love their galaxy projector. Actual books and more Duplo are always welcome.

Maybe instead of asking for straight cash, people might be more receptive to asking for $$ towards swimming lessons or annual pass to nearest zoo/wildlife park?

If people would prefer to give a small gift I'd ask for consumables like play doh, chunky crayons, bath toys or sponges. And new books.

Swim suit, swim bag, a float and the cash for swimming lessons.
An annual pass to a local zoo, or farm.
First pair of shoes, as I am guessing that these aren't handed down from siblings.

Tickets to a local attraction. I get my kids a season pass for their Christmas or birthday as honestly with 12 yo, 4 yo and 1 yo boys along side cousins that pass down stuff I have more things ( including toys) then I could possibly need but they love a good day out.

Consumables yes - sticker/colouring books? I've got my ds a humming top for his stocking this year which I think he'll like, but he's 2. We're also getting him a Mr potato head - he was obsessed with it at a party a few months ago (he was about 14 months)

Recently published kids' books?

You could get Tiddler (book) if you've not got it already, it's coming out on Christmas day on the telly so can read together and watch it

Savings Bonds. My youngest will be turning 18 in February and has approx. £5k coming to her from friends' and family's contributions over the years .
