5 Birthday Gift Ideas For a One Year Old

By Little Mummy, March 2, 2007 2:55 am

We recently celebrated a first birthday. Erin received a lot of excellent gifts, here’s what I would have bought for a one year old.

1. Books

Books would be my number one choice. Erin loves them, they last for a long time and aren’t that expensive. Oh, and they are educational too :)

2. Light & Sound Toys

As much as I said I wouldn’t go the plastic fantastic route, Erin loves them and for solo play they are ideal.

3. Musical Instruments

Specifically rattles, tambourines and drums. All one year olds strive to make as much noise as possible, I figure if the noise is constructive then all the better for my ears :)

4. Walk/Push Along Toys

We have a wooden push along toy and a fairy princess sit and ride toy. Now I just need to persuade Erin to get up on her feet and use them!

5. Talking Teddies

Erin really liked these, so we bought her one for her birthday. Her initial reaction was…how can I put it…a little cold, but she has warmed to ‘Emily’ now.
