bath tub crayons, play dough ,water colors, shovel and pail, and i know this will sound crazy but i have done home day care and worked in the field of child development for 15 years but! go to Lowe's home depot and ask for a huge box from a fridge or washing machine then take it home an put a basket of stickers and crayons in side with stuff for a house and get in there with him/her and cut windows and doors decorate it and believe me they will play with that for days if not weeks it will be a house a bus a school a cave a magic castle and so much more and it will cost you nothing really!

The best gift someone ever got for my oldest,who is now 9, when he was little was these big cardboard blocks. They may sound like nothing but my boys LOVE them to this day. I'd say theyre about 1ftx6inx3in. They came in all kinds of colors and my kids build castles, roads and towers out of them all the time. Even when my neices stay over for a long weekend, they'll build a little house for the dolls out of them. They're great, easy to clean up and cheap.
Good Luck

Kids, especially @ that age are the easiest to please. They are not demanding and little little things from blowing a candle and cut the cake is already the greatest gift to them. And the comfort of being with mommy, especially when mommy is being particularly sweet and no temper on the child's special day, is all a kid wants and they're over the top.
But if you really wanna buy a gift, perhaps you can buy anything within your means... cartoon character thet your child really love maybe?
Hope this helps :)

I know of the prior generation born in 60s and 70s didn't need huge extravagant gifts and birthdays. A simple balloon party with cake and friends does the trick.
When it comes to gifts try hotwheels cars or just average barbie dolls.

boy- hot wheels, they're pretty inexpensive.
girl- anything to play dress-up w/.
honestly, whatever you can get. kids are notorious for tearin' things up & usually like the package better than the gift. i've got 3 boys & when i need to get them something, i go to the dollar store. if you go to the right ones, you can get everything for $1-i love those.
