[diddle]

Hi,

my son is one on saturday and i really want to get him something he can keep and remember that it was for his first birthday. anyone got any good ideas.
girls are so easy to buy for, a nice ring or bracelet, but boys are harder.

please help

money box?

My pil got dd2 a photobook for her christening from when she was born to her christening date and included pictures of her with all her immeadiate family and aded captions to each pciture. Its a lovely unique gift and I am sure when shes older she'll love looking at it.

I think I am going to do all the great grandparents one of these of all the grandchildren/great grandchildren for christmas

We bought DS a collectors Paddington Bear.

We found it hard too but a local jeweller started to make tiny solid silver candle holders in the shape of a train. It wasn't cheap (but then neither was DD's charm bracelet!) I've got her details if you like.

We got our son a hip flask, and we are going to get it engraved with his name and date of birth (it will definately get done (the engraving) before he turns 18....).

gorgeous classic children's book?

i second the money box idea my dd was given a lovely china painted one in the shape of a tiger for her first birthday
