I agree that experience gifts are nice, or ask the parents what they need. People asked me (I said she needs shoes and plates/utensils) and then nobody bought that stuff. She also got a lot of cute beach/pool themed gift baskets, many had practical things in them like swim diapers and sun tan lotion along with the cute things like swim suits and sun glasses (which she has a ton of!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-first-birthday#post-271848 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 04:33:29 +0000 SugarplumsMom 271848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought these for friend's daughter that's turning 1 in October:</p> <p>Aurora Plush Baby Yasmin Doll<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007HLIJZ8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007HLIJZ8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00</a></p> <p>Tomy Octopals Bath Toy<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0007D7O22/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0007D7O22/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01</a></p> <p>The doll kind of looks like her and the bath toy she can play with her big bro. I'm not sure what else to get though, so I'll be following this thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-first-birthday#post-271835 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 03:03:34 +0000 looch 271835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found these blocks to be great, they're not that pricey and they don't hurt if they build a tower and it falls down:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/B-One-Two-Squeeze-Blocks/dp/B0030F67N6" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/B-One-Two-Squeeze-Blocks/dp/B0030F67N6</a></p> <p>The Melissa and Doug chunky puzzles are also easy for 1 year olds to handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-first-birthday#post-271795 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 23:20:27 +0000 deannab1 271795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always like to give experiences because kids get so many toys, it's ridiculous. I've given tickets to the zoo and sesame street live as well as memberships to the children's museum and passes to the pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-first-birthday#post-271783 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 22:25:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 271783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: my sister, and more so, her husband, would kill me if I got them finger paint! But they live in a one bedroom apt, if the had a backyard or somewhere appropriate to finger paint, I'm sure that would be a lot if fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-first-birthday#post-271779 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 22:15:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 271779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.abesmarket.com/grab-n-go-fingerpaint-by-wee-can-too-edible-art-supply.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.abesmarket.com/grab-n-go-fingerpaint-by-wee-can-too-edible-art-supply.html</a></p> <p>this is what I'm thinking of getting my nephew. I want to get some for DS too when he's older.</p> <p>It's edible fingerpaint made entirely of vegan, eco-friendly ingredients. It looks totally awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-first-birthday#post-271742 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:18:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 271742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother and sister both asked for 'age appropriate toys' for their sons' 1st birthdays. Things with cars on tracks and shape sorter/puzzle type toys were popular. They already have tons of clothes from hand me downs. </p> <p>I'm sure someone, you know, with an actual one year old, will have more advice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-first-birthday#post-271737 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:12:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 271737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ooh watching this thread. My nephew turns 1 on the 6th! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-first-birthday#post-271732 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:06:25 +0000 mediagirl 271732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's goddaughter is turning one soon. I would like to get her something to complement the deposit we will make to her savings account. What do you think the best gifts for a one year old are? </p>
