What did you / are you getting your DC for Christmas if they have an older sibling who has lots of toys already?

I have DS1 2 years old and DS2 who will be 5 months at Christmas. DS1 has accumulated lots of toys in his time and we still have all the baby toys so I am a bit stuck for what to get DS2.

What did you do if your younger DC didn't / doesn't really need anything? I know he's only ickle but I don't want him to lose out (rather be miffed in future when he sees the Xmas home video LOL).

With our DD2, we wanted to give her presents, but not loads of new tat so she had lots of essentials for her first Christmas - dummies, a new blanket, bibs etc. etc. Just stuff I would be buying anyway, but wrapped up! They're too young to know. Just include one or two toys / nice presents and film those bits!
