So he got a plate, a bowl and a cup with his name on them. They were wrapped in one of these little paper suitcases that he still plays with a lot nearly a year later and he uses his plates everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067943 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 05:55:53 +0000 lamariniere 2067943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. LO1 got a pull toy and LO2 got a (very cheap) doll stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067906 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 02:09:32 +0000 FannyMae 2067906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought her a grown up gift - an enamel jewellery box for her to have when she's an adult. Her 1st birthday was a few months after her baptism, and my brother bought her a tiffany diamond bracelet so I wanted to put it somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067884 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 01:42:35 +0000 Skadi 2067884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave her a board book. We didn't see any reason to be spendy, as she thought the wrapping paper and box were the best part of her gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067881 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 01:40:20 +0000 lemondrop 2067881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, the first was the Fisher Price Zoo for C. As the second, E gets the play kitchen! </p> <p>We've been holding out on that due to space, but I came up with a plan to rearrange and we decided to get something they both would use and play food is the big hit with both of them. Second child WIN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067880 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 01:36:58 +0000 MapleMoose 2067880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took her to the zoo for the first time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067782 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 23:24:17 +0000 lucy123 2067782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing too spectacular, a few cheap push toys, seemed like an afterthought after planning the party, bought her a PBK anywhere chair for her first Christmas and she is just starting to love it! We only have one so I can't talk about sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067760 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 23:00:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2067760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

She had a party and got plenty of toys, so we didn't really feel like we needed to get much more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067616 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:50:08 +0000 dolphin 2067616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No big gift other than party </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067559 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:24:13 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2067559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope didn't give either kid a gift! charlie had a bday party though so he did get bday gifts. poor olive got the second child shaft. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067554 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:23:32 +0000 fairy 2067554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I actually didn't get her anything for 1st birthday besides a birthday book, but she got plenty of gifts from other people at her party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067458 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:39:25 +0000 PinkElephant 2067458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 got a zany zoo and a tricycle. DD2 will probably get either a swing set/slide for the yard or a kitchen (DD1 will get the other one for her birthday 2 months later). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067378 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:57:41 +0000 yin 2067378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 got a play kitchen for his 1st birthday, and DS2 got a bunch of small items (books, tunnel, duplo, water bottle, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067368 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:52:08 +0000 matador84 2067368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: ugh!

Now I wonder what H will get, because we sure as heck don't need any more toys! </p> <p>(I did musical instruments for E's first birthday. Not big, but fun. And no batteries! He got maracas, a xylophone, a drum, and a tambourine.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067343 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:35:48 +0000 rattles 2067343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd1 got two gifts for her first birthday - a convertible carseat and a kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067341 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:35:31 +0000 Cole 2067341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have one lo so far so it might change but our plan is to do one big gift at each birthday. I think we will do a kitchen either at her 1st birthday or next Christmas. A kid sized table and chairs set might be a good compromise if you don't have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067325 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:23:43 +0000 regberadaisy 2067325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD 1's "big" gift from us was a water table I got off nbd and a personalized name stool. DD 2 will be getting the same stool for sure. Not sure what else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-big-gift-for-los-1st-bday#post-2067320 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:20:26 +0000 matador84 2067320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom wants to give DD a "big" gift for her 1st bday, probably a PB anywhere chair. But, DS already has one, she loves it and it takes up so much room so I'm thinking maybe no big gift this time.</p> <p>2nd child gets the shaft... </p>
