No presents but bounce house

So my daughter is 2 years old and has like 4 bins of toys, has a lot of clothes and several hundred books, coloring books, etc.  I rented a bounce house for her birthday a couple of weeks ago and she still asks for it.  I was thinking of instead of getting her presents (everyone else will get her presents and she can help unwrap ours) that I would just rent a bounce house for that Saturday.

What do you think?  Good idea or just get regular presents?  Any good size but not too expensive ones to buy?

I don't know how much they are to rent, but you can buy them online at toysrus..they run from about $180 (8'x8x) to $350 (bounce house plus 2 slides).  Why not just do that instead.  That way she's getting presents to open, etc

It would be neato if you could buy the bouncehouse outright.... but to do it just for one day instead of presents that could last her for awhile, I wouldn't do it personally.

I did end up finding a great deal on Ebay for a brand new one and free shipping for only $199 and to rent it for the day is $100 and I know it would get a lot of use since I would have to get one for every birthday, so I bought it!  I am going to have it inflated on Christmas and throw a bow on it!  She will LOVE it!
