gift ideas for a 1 y/o girl

beat me to it

 

One year old won't be paying attention to stories. Really, 1 year old is too young to worry about what the kid wants. Think of what the parents want. And, speaking as a parent, some plush or plastic piece of crap is the last thing I would want. What I wanted family to get for the first birthday: clothes or books.

 

Offer to babysit and let the parents have a date night out. Watch cartoons, play with a coloring book or something or take the child to the zoo.

I have no children so I have really no idea.

 

1 year olds love ball pits. This would be a good gift

Exactly, a one year old will have more fun with the box the gift comes in than the gift.

 

I don't know if its in the budget but I second the ball pit.

Wow a bigtexxx post I agree with.

Resisting urge to make joke about bigtexxx and the mind of 1 year olds. :grin:

 

Savings bond in a box to be unwrapped by the child. Usually works.

 

Give her a bank account with 1 penny in it and teach her about saving

 

Diapers daddy-O

 

Dude, she won't know what it is or who it's from. My earliest memories were from when I was three.

 

Scientifically speaking, you can't remember anything before you were about 3.5. People who claim they remember anything earlier than that is due to photos and retelling of the story over the years to where they actually think it's a memory. Kinda interesting.

Regardless, you're correct. The kid will enjoy a cardboard box as much as a $500 toy.

 

You know I was asking around about this too, when my friend's daughter turned 1 last month.

From female friends this is what they told me:

Toms

 

L.A Fitness membership...

 

Excellent suggestions. I would go with Ipad though. She probably doesn't have too many friends she can talk/text on the phone at this age.

 

I'll be going to my friend's one year old daughter's birthday in a few days.

Since everyone will probably get her toys and clothes, i think i'll just get her a toddler bath towel, something like this i guess.

 

Then tell it to the kid's parents so they won't put too much pressure on the kid :grin:

 

I thought he went out of business because of Zimmerman.

 

y'all are hilarious. Granted I have a boy, and a girl on the way, but when my son was a year old these were his favorite things:


^^ comes in pink if you want


Diapers are always good, but are more for the parents than for a toddler. Savings bonds are also good.

 

some baby jordans....start his shoe connoisseur business.. Naw' Im Sayin'?

 

Surprise her with a baby brother.
