1st birthday presents/Christmas

Hi! FTM here, and struggling to know what to buy my little one for her birthday especially when Christmas is also 2 months after! Also, how many presents do you get them for their birthday? I’m fully aware that she will probably end up playing with the boxes and wrapping paper🤣🤣
