First birthdays, what do you think of them? Go all out and celebrate with gifts and the party knowing full well they won’t remember a thing, or roll up the cardboard box, pop open a bottle of bubbly, and enjoy a quiet celebration at home as a family. ? I always find first birthday gift ideas very difficult. A child’s first birthday is possibly one of the biggest birthday parties you’ll ever plan. Whether your party is small or large, there’s a lot to plan! Instead of getting random gifts that they may or may not use
First Birthday Gift Ideas:
So now that you’ve decided to buy a few gifts, you’ll need some first-birthday gift ideas. I struggled this year because the twins were so over the first birthday and we packed them all into the garage. I recommend making a wish list. It can also help you to choose it for your first birthday gift ideas.
Playmobil:
Perfect for little hands, the Playmobil range makes a great first birthday gift but older children will also have lots of fun with it. The twins enjoy setting up the scene and putting the pieces together which is very easy to do, and they love sliding the penguin down the slide. The toy has two penguins, banana monkeys, three people, a pigeon, a fence, and a wheelbarrow. And a fork and a bucket of fish.
Musical Singing Dog:
This Digi toy made us laugh out loud. We squeezed Duggee’s little hand for Matilda and she danced to the music. Dougie plays several songs from the show with one hand and presses Dougie with the other hand to hear the show’s theme tune, funny phrases, and sounds. He is also able to flap his ears and flash his badge to music. Duggee stands at 24cm which is just the right size for these one-year-olds.
Clothing:
Your baby is moving out of the “baby stage” and will be more active next year. You’ll buy things like baby bunting/snowsuits or new swimsuits and life jackets, depending on what season your little one was born.
Bookshelf:
Your child will start to enjoy reading and reading books. Consider getting a large bookshelf to accommodate the influx of books you’ll start collecting. You can also use a bookshelf to store some of their favorite toys where they can easily access them.
Indoor Climber Options:
The gym inside will let them release some of that energy in a safe and fun way. Moreover, it helps them practice coordination and other developmental skills with the safety of being on a cushioned surface like a rug or play mat.
Final Words:
If you live a normal lifestyle, experiences can be great gift ideas. Instead of a bunch of toys that will be played with a few times, ask your family members to give a meaningful “non-tangible” gift like a membership to your local zoo or aquarium. Another memorable idea for keeping a family photo album is a great way to practise identifying your family members.
