1st Birthday Main Present Help

[TigerTeatimes]

Hello, It's my little boy's first birthday in November and I just don't know what to get him for his main present - not helped by the fact that Christmas and his sister's 3rd birthday are both not long after.

Can anyone recommend anything that was a big hit with their little ones? TIA

Other than a load more fisher price toys there's not much you can buy as a birthday present for a baby. Our little one turned 1 this year too, we bought all the toys and fun stuff, then the creative present was one of these memory boxes - www.madewithloveandsparkle.co.uk/for-kids/for-kids-babies/bunny-bubbles-memory-box.html - that way, we're going to fill it as the years go by and he can have it when he's 18.

Hope that gives you some ideas!

Following for ideas as I'm in the same boat! Although ds is our first.

My parents are keen to buy him the ikea kitchen - I think 1 is too young but he will get lots of use out of it as he gets older so I might just go with it! If I let them get the kitchen we'll get all the accessories for it.

Some things we already have:

1. We bought a cosy coupe little tikes in the sales in Jan. I was planning to keep it until next summer/birthday but might give it as main Christmas present
   
2. I bought this from Tesco a year ago before he was even born so he's definitely getting this but I think he would love it already so I might end up getting it out before bday

1. I also bought this with a few vouchers we got given when he was born so he's getting it too but again might get it before bday unless i can restrain myself!

Other ideas-
A swing for the garden
My sister has suggested a scuttle bug
Sil has told me she has bought a sand and water tray
Some toot toot drivers or whizz world from elc
A garage or train set
My cousin is getting him some duplo
Some happyland stuff

You might have some of that already!

My dds both got sandpits for their first birthday. Also swing set, scuttlebutt and paddling pool. They are summer borns though. I do think "investment toy" is the way to go here if there's anything you don't already have (toy kitchen?), or the opposite which is just wrapping up a few books or something that used to be your dd's.

Brio train?

You can't go wrong with a play tunnel imo. Not least because you can collapse them up small and put them away!

I looked at a mail order catalog for ideas and inspiration. My parents gave us some bath toys and built a toybox for the twins (they’re DIY people). My partner’s family gifted us some cheap baby clothes from a thrift shop. I got them both books mainly. Personally I think that books make excellent gifts irregardless of age or reading skills. You can’t go wrong with a thoughtful kind gift either. I also appreciated the cards we also received from well meaning family members and friends.

our nephew just turned 1, over a month ago.

he is at the stage where he cant seem to get enough of food, so me and my husband decided to get him a breakfast set with his name on it. he never seems to want to share with his older sister.....lol
