Birthday/Xmas ideas

I’m stuck on what to get my son for birthday and Christmas. I’ve decided to get him a balance bike for one, but not sure what else. He’s obsessed with animals but not sure if this obsession will have gone by then 🤣🤣

Behaviour

My son's behaviour in groups is so bad at the moment. He grabs, tantrums, throws things. I'm so deflated. Everyone else's children seem to be able to interact and play, but he just snatches and throws as soon as it gets busy. Don't really know what I'm after here but I just feel so shitty.
