Birthday help

In a few weeks, the twins will turn one (I know, I can't believe it either.) In a house overflowing with toys, I'm having trouble coming up with fun things to get them—especially when all they seem to want to do is chew on the plastic food from the kids' kitchen set, turn the TV on and off via the remote, and take wipes out of the package. I had planned to stock up on winter clothes (since their summer wardrobe exceeds actual days in the season) but stores aren't so much selling them right now. I got a few books, but I need help with ideas on small toys that are preferably not loud (or at least ones with an off switch). I keep feeling like we have all the toys any kid would ever need, but I know there have to be new things I haven't seen before.

Thanks!

To tell you the truth, we got Cate birthday presents only so the other kids wouldn't throw a fit! I just got her a couple of cute toys and some books (she loves the touchy ones) and made sure to throw out as many as came in, it's my only sanity. I can't believe they are one, it's so amazing.

you know it's funny cause when we have had the same idea in mind of getting the kids maybe one small item, it seems like that is the year that family and friends go way over board and they end up with a ton anyway.......I wish I had an idea...what about those books with the tags on them?...are they too old for those?
