My DD actually asked for it for her *4th* birthday, and it gets played with by every kid that comes over, so it definitely is a toy with longevity.</p> <p>We had previously been giving this Fisher Price Piggy Bank <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Laugh-Learn-Learning-Piggy/dp/B000A88KOA" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Laugh-Learn-Learning-Piggy/dp/B000A88KOA</a> and a bedtime book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ill-See-Morning-Mike-Jolley/dp/0811865436/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1431357404&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=i%27ll+see+you+in+the+morning" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Ill-See-Morning-Mike-Jolley/dp/0811865436/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1431357404&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=i%27ll+see+you+in+the+morning</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-gift-for-a-one-year-olds-birthday-party#post-2174038 Mon, 11 May 2015 09:51:14 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2174038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doll stroller is a great one. My daughter got this musical tea set for her first birthday and it was a huge hit that I think we'll get a lot of mileage out of: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-Musical-Rainbow-Tea-Set/dp/B00CCIKII2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-Musical-Rainbow-Tea-Set/dp/B00CCIKII2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-gift-for-a-one-year-olds-birthday-party#post-2174015 Mon, 11 May 2015 09:37:30 +0000 Alivoo01 2174015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love the Y-bike. It's awesome because it acts as a push toy until they're older then it becomes like a little bike/scooter for them. The rubber wheels are smooth and 360. If they have hardwood floors, the wheels are perfect for that since most push toys have plastic wheels and it's way too fast for a baby learning to walk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-gift-for-a-one-year-olds-birthday-party#post-2174008 Mon, 11 May 2015 09:33:37 +0000 BananaPancakes 2174008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give the same things for practically all children's birthdays; a check in their name for $25 and a book. So far it's been a parental favorite. But all of our friend's and family have savings accounts for their kids, so I know it's safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-gift-for-a-one-year-olds-birthday-party#post-2173985 Mon, 11 May 2015 09:18:09 +0000 WinterBee 2173985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 'go to gift' is typically books. There are sooooo many great children's books out there.<br /> I'm going to my cousins kids 1st birthday next weekend and she loves bath time, so I got her a bathtime book set that comes with bath toys that are in the story. Along with some other bath toys. I think she'll like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-gift-for-a-one-year-olds-birthday-party#post-2161432 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 20:38:00 +0000 rattles 2161432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mega blocks and music toys </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-gift-for-a-one-year-olds-birthday-party#post-2161409 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 20:18:55 +0000 hellobeeboston 2161409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto to what @Truth Bombs: said. </p> <p>I just got my niece a baby doll stroller (a pretty sturdy one that she can lean on) and she LOVES it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-gift-for-a-one-year-olds-birthday-party#post-2161371 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 19:27:34 +0000 LAZB 2161371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Perfect, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-gift-for-a-one-year-olds-birthday-party#post-2161343 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 18:32:47 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2161343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"How do dinosaurs say happy birthday" is actually aimed at girls, that's my go to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-gift-for-a-one-year-olds-birthday-party#post-2161339 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 18:29:40 +0000 Truth Bombs 2161339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shopping cart or doll stroller.

You don't even have to serve strawberries if you are worried about allergies; I just think the decor would be super cute, especially if you already have some serving pieces.</p> <p>ETA: I would totally just do a strawberry-colored outfit. I am picturing a fun pink tutu and a strawberry hairbow :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753895 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 20:30:22 +0000 mlm2934 1753895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm partial to the strawberry party!! too cute; my least fave is the luau cause that is such a popular theme for non-birthdays so I'm sure there will be other luaus in her future :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753893 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 20:29:54 +0000 californiadreams 1753893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted luau based on your pros and cons lists </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753885 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 20:25:03 +0000 StrawberryBee 1753885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>voted strawberry because that's our theme. We just threw caution to the wind and gave her strawberries at around month 9/10, then followed up with strawberry picking to really verify the 'no allergy yet' verdict ;). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753626 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 17:49:33 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1753626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the tickled pink with the flamingos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753571 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 17:10:54 +0000 Dandelion 1753571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rainbow is my favorite color! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753494 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 16:22:19 +0000 LuLu Mom 1753494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the strawberry idea is adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753466 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 16:08:30 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1753466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Strawberries are fun!
