I know, birthday parties here -- for kids, and adults too -- are out of control.
Just thank your lucky stars you're no ones Godparent -- otherwise your gifts would have to be above and beyond everyone elses, you'd foot the bill for the baptism, and pretty much any other major occasion in life (assuming you were from a family that takes it seriously, and believe me I've known some) -- first day of school? Godfather pays for all the supplies, uniform etc... thank god my sister-in-law picked the other brother to do the duty... we're not religious but we're planning on calling him as a joke and saying Congratulations! you're the godfather for ours too -- we're having a baptismal party for 150.... hope that's not a problem! hahaha

El Gato Con Bote in Belgrano R - Echeverria & Conde - across from the KEL's bookstore - great area for a Sunday stroll as well
I don't know about stuffed animals, but they do sell a lot of wooden toys - my children love it.

I agree with what the others said. For the most part the quality of kids toys and kids clothes here are VERY poor compared to the USA. They are also double or triple the price. Fortunately my wife and I go to the USA 4 times a year or so and we load up on clothes there as well as toys. We've still bought lots of toys here as we have 2 young kids. Anything decent is twice or 3 X the price as back home.
Clothes here are not great for the most part. And the good quality clothes is really expensive with kids jeans often times the same price as adult jeans.
We made the mistake with our first child of getting things like imported strollers here like Peg Perego and spent $1,000 US on it as we weren't in the USA the months preceding the birth of our first born... never again.... I'd recommend people to get things from the USA and bring it down or have someone coming down bring stuff.
Basically a rip off on many kids stuff here.
