Starting to think about what to get M for her first.
How much did you spend on gifts for LO's first and what did you get?
For sure we're getting her a wood personalized name puzzle stool. We have given one to every niece and nephew for their first!

I got lo a personalized happy birthday captain zoom cd. I had it when I was little (the tape) and still insist on listening to it every year because I love it so much.
I think it was $20-$25. She didn't understand gifts yet so I didn't want to go crazy.
-
@artbee: LOVE! We had this when we were little too, although on a crappy plastic record, not even a tape
I bought an MP3 of it for my nephew when he was born, and I call him every year and play it in the background because I don't trust my sister to remember to play it for him.

@alie: lol, what a fun tradition for you and your nephew! I have a confession .... I'm so obsessed with it that not only did dh buy me the Cd version of my birthday but he bought me the anniversary version too
-
@artbee: Ha, I love that! And I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves Captain Zoom. None of my friends have any idea what I'm talking about if I mention it...
-
I have no idea what captain zoom is!

Captain Zoom sings you a fabulous birthday song that mentions your name a bazillion times
-
That is what I gave my nephew for his first too. It is super cute.
-
I was thinking about getting her one of those big wooden activity cubes.
-
We bought her a swing, puzzle and books. We will buy her a play kitchen after we move.
-
We are planning to get LO the Radioflyer 4-in-1 trike.
-
I'm making her a board book with pictures of the people in our families.
-
We're planning on getting her a Pewi Ybike ride on toy for her first birthday. Several of my friends have said their kids loved them around that age.

Both my boys got the 4-in-1 bikes for their first birthdays. DS2 got a radio flyer rocking/bouncing pony, but it doesn't seem to be as big of a hit as I thought it would be.
I HATE plastic toys, but we got two for Christmas that have kinda changed my life--Fisher Price laugh & Learn Counting Piggy, and the LeapFrog My Discovery House. DS2 is 14 months old, and will literally spend an hour playing with these two toys. Although the sounds can be incredibly obnoxious, you can turn them off and still have fun with the toys. They both run about $20 each. I especially love them because they work on developing pincer grasp, sorting techniques, and we can work on colors and counting. Also, DS1, who is 3, absolutely loves them too! A great investment if I do say so myself!

Our go to gift for 1st birthday for friends is a convertible tricycle.
-
Thinking of getting her the Pottery Barn Anywhere Chair.
-
@zippylef: Yes I want to get a wooden activity cube too
-
@Mrsbells: @zippylef: m got one for Christmas. It's from Ikea and has a little house roof, totally cute. No sorting yet, just a lot of smashing!
