Mmmm lotsa good suggestions.
Buy her shoes. Lots of shoes.
I may have a bit of a shoe fetish which Hannah has become my outlet for. I don't feel half as guilty when I am buying for her!

We've got Josiah the baby Leapfrog system (the one that goes from 6 - 36 months) and told people they can buy books for it for him... umm... some Quatro (next size up from duplo), a wooden puzzle, a push-n-go car, that sort of thing.
Kiya, I got her a ride-on (which Josiah is going to get for his birthday as well) and some books and soft toys.

You can get Leapfrog, which is for kids aged 4 and up, which is a kindof tray that holds a special book (and the cartidge - tape - that goes with it) that encourages the child to read along, and learn basic math, spelling, pattern recognition and that sort of stuff. The child uses a stylus to point to parts of the page for activites and things.
The Baby Leapfrog is for ages 6 months to 3 years, and is the same sort of thing, but teaches shapes, colours, basic word and pattern recoginition, that sort of thing. The "tray" can be set to 3 different age levels, and the child touches the book to work it.
They are in the Warehouse, as well as a few other toy stores if you want to have a look to see what I mean.

oh, the baby einstein dvds are FANTASTIC!!! Those who have met Jake know what a whirlwind he is,righ? Well, he actually sits and watches those dvds. he loves the baby noah,( animals), baby di vinci (body parts) and baby neptne (water). I got mine for about $15 each from trademe. I thoroughly recommend them.

The basic system (for either age group) which is the "tray" thingy and one book is around $70. The book/cartridge sets are $25 to $35 each.
We like how this will grow with him, and then when he outgrows it completely in a few of years we'll look at getting him the next one up, and Baby will be using this one by then anyway! Also, people can buy the book sets for him for birthday/christmas presents.
