What would a one year old girl like?

[GatoradeMeBitch]

My friend is coming to visit from Scotland in two weeks and I'd like to get her baby a present. She'll be just over a year old. I've been looking, and there is a LOT of choice out there and I'm a little bit overwhelmed. (I'm also not used to shopping for girls, I seem to be surrounded by boys usually!)

If anyone has found a great present for a one year old girl, please share your wisdom!

Do you want to get her something to play with or more of a keepsake? What is your budget?

If you want something to play with try duplo, mine both loved this, teaset or a pop up tent. Books are always good too and my dd loves this

my friends little girl is a year old. i have bought her a hamleys teddy bear.

My dd absolutely loves the wooden peg and hammer game - try amazon.
It small enough to pack easily too when they go home

Hide and squeak eggs are brilliant. My nearly 3 yo still plays with his daily.

Not entirely sure I would have thanked you for arming my toddler with a hammer purple but everyone's different

A stacking/nesting toy. A book with 'flaps'. A push/pull toy. Brio 'My First Railway' set. Duplo. Wooden peg puzzle.

Same things a one year old boy would like? Those hide and squeak eggs are good.

I suppose about £30 budget? But she's coming down by train so nothing bulky, though I might mention the trolley thing to her Mum because she's starting to walk now, and something to amuse her while she's here rather than a keepsake. I bought her a silver necklace for her christening, so that's covered. Something fun and noisy! I like the idea of a hammer and peg toy!

extracrunchy you're right of course!
