My DD is about to turn 1 and the family is asking for gift suggestions! What are the best birthday gifts for a 1-year-old your kids have received, please?

Putting on AIBU as can't think of what category it'd fit in and for traffic

Money into a kids ISA

Agree with first poster, money for savings and a small token gift of a book or a toy if they want to.

If it helps them to feel the savings have a purpose say it’s so they can buy their first car when the time comes or something similar.

I always like outside toys and stuff like that when they’re so young as they will get years of use out of them. Toy kitchen and play food etc is always a good shout too. Scuttlebug. Water table.

Savings is good, but I suspect you’re going to get some push back from people who want to give her a gift.

  • Clothing and shoes in bigger sizes
  • Indestructible books (designed for babies upwards, can recommend them, even adults couldn’t tear them and you can put them in the bath, wash them etc) and under £5 each. Seriously good idea.
  • A book set, like Beatrix Potter or Mr Men. Something you can read to her, keep safe and she can pass down to any children she might have
  • A snowglobe.
  • Anything interactive to help her build her motor skills, like those wooden activity blocks with spinning flaps and wires with beads on etc
  • one of those red cars with the yellow roof and the door they can open and close. Years of stay and play groups has convinced me that there’s not a child alive who doesn’t like them!
  • Season tickets for something, like a local zoo or petting farm
