Gifts for dd2

Hi
My DD2 is turning 1 soon.
I am at a total loss as to what to get her!
Our house is already full of all the toys/jigsaws/games that you can imagine, and I don't want to have 2 of everything! (Dd1 is 3.5).
Can anyone think of anything I can ask people for for her bday?
Ta!

How about one of these? Could you ask people to get her some outfits for the spring and summer?

If you had enough toys for DD1, then yes, you probably have enough toys left over for DD2! So would it be so bad if your family/friends skipped the materialism and didn't get her a birthday present?

Or you could get her consumables: crayons (Crayola do some 12m+) or even (carefully!) paint.

IMO you can never have too many books.

Do you have a train set? - they're lots of fun. If you already do, perhaps you'd like some more track? There is a standard size for wooden track so you don't have to get the same brand as before.

Not all the presents need to be suitable immediately; assuming she won't get any more till Christmas, you could also think about summer stuff (garden equipment?) and 18m+ toys.

Thanks for your replies, I think garden gear is the way forward!
