First birthday gift ideas - PLEASE HELP

Aside from clothes and g/c - what were some creative, thoughtful and useful gifts you received for DC's first birthday? I'm not sure if the child I am buying for has a "favorite character" or not.

TIA!

The one that really stands out and that Sarah still uses over a year later is this cute little plastic picnic table with umbrella that my cousin got in Toys R Us.

It is a GC but I thought it was unique idea and very useful. She got a stride rite GC which I know we'll need and use. Other than that, my favorite gift was a rocking potty which is beyond adorable and cracks me up. It's a rocking chair and it has a removable and coverable potty and it's also got a bar for toilet paper and a book/mag holder on each side Chat Icon Chat Icon I'll have to post a pic Chat Icon

I would love to see a picture.

Anyone else have a favorite "gift" they received for their child's first birthday?

Radio Flyer Wagon. It's come in so handy.

I've also received kid furniture (padded little chairs) and a rocking chair with her name on it.

My favorite gift was a book basket. A friend of mine has a bookshop and they do theme baskets. They did a safari for DS because that's his room theme...

Re: First birthday gift ideas - PLEASE HELP

A few of my cousins pitched in ands got her the step 2 sand and water table - she loves it!!! but if its just you buying thr gift, i tmight be too pricey - its about $80.

Some other great gifts we got were -
**a ball pit
**the bounce and spin zebra by fisher price
** tons and tons of gift cards to TRU/BRU - we wnt have to buy anything with our own $$ there for quite some time!
** gift cert. to have professional pics taken

Is the sand and water table only good for outside use?

Hmmmm... anything that she can walk with, she really loved - like her walker toys, her little pink car, her winnie the pooh push toy. Also, someone purchased a little kitchen for her, and she absolutely adored it.

Re: First birthday gift ideas - PLEASE HELP

I think it also depends on how much you want to spend.

I think the picnic table, wagon ideas are great too.

A beach theme gift is always good too....maybe a chair, with a towel and suit? Again, not sure how much you want to spend.
