How about a RESP contribution? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1851445 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 05:23:24 +0000 Annette 1851445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One that I gifted before that was a big success was a book with an animal character (lion, bear, monkey etc) and then a hand puppet of that animal. From what I've heard from those Ive given it to is that its made their baby more interested in reading the book since its interactive. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1851415 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:25:43 +0000 SAHM0811 1851415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: the personalized book is great! We received one for my eldest, and she's 6 yo now and has loved it since preschool. She always wants to read it and take it to show and tell :) I also gifted one to my nephew for his 1st birthday. I think it was through a Living Social/Shutterfly deal and I uploaded his picture to be used throughout the book/story (a Sesame St themed story). It's a great memento/gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1851381 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 22:24:51 +0000 tororojo 1851381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A personalized book could be cool, or else any kind of tab/lift the flap book- that's the perfect age! Bonus if the tabs aren't too easy to rip off. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1851377 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 22:20:19 +0000 erinpye 1851377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dr. Seuss books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1851356 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 21:44:09 +0000 singingbee 1851356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: my sister got LO a book from <a href="http://www.iseeme.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.iseeme.com</a> and she loves it.

I'm thinking a custom book with her name in it? I've found some cute sites that do it and she probably doesn't have any books of her own. What do you guys think of that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1851079 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 15:21:53 +0000 bunnylove08 1851079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my go to :books or money for college fund</p> <p>I usually ask the parents what their child needs if they have a wish list </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1851033 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:49:15 +0000 sheskrafty 1851033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Books or art supplies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1851011 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:41:46 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1851011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Books, or experience gifts like what @fairy: suggested!

Children's museum, ect? I expressed to our families this year that we have enough "stuff" that we would like things to do with LO. We have so many toys &amp;she doesn't really play with toys right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1850926 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:05:00 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1850926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friends daughter is turning 1 in a few weeks. </p> <p>She already has a 4 year old girl and a 2.5 year old boy they have a LOT of toys and my friend has expressed her dislike of toys everywhere and how many they have. </p> <p>I don't think they have ever bought a toy for their youngest because they don't need to. Any ideas for something for a 1 year old that would: not take up a lot if space, not be annoying, actually be used? Or should I get her an outfit? </p>
