Birthday gift ideas for my birthday boy

It’s that time of year again. As we welcome Spring and enjoy the beauty and life that it brings with it along with upcoming Easter, my first born's birthday is fast approaching.

My beautiful boy who I remember as a little newborn as if it was yesterday, is going to be yet another year older!

He is growing up as a fun, caring, clever boy that the whole family loves and adores.

As his big birthday is imminent my thoughts of the past few weeks have been on what to get him for his birthday along with where to go for a special birthday day out. Now that he is that much older he has strong views on what he likes and wants, and has helped me out with a list of gift ideas with plenty of options so that he gets a surprise of what we get him from the list.

Birthday gifts perfect for my 5 year old boy.

With Bug's birthday fast approaching in only a matter of weeks my thoughts have turned to what gifts to get him to celebrate the big day he turns 5.

Thankfully he has not reached the age where he is demanding one particular extra special thing that if he did not get his birthday would be ruined. He is quite an easy going child with a lot of different interests and a few predictable loves. To help us decide what to treat our boy to he has marked out a few toys and products in the catalogue which he would love.

As I have been delayed on present buying thanks to the sickness bug from school hitting the whole household hard, with poor Bug getting it a second time a week later thanks to the bug still circulating in school, I thought I would create a gift wish list for Bug's 5th birthday to help me decide what to get him.
