I found any kind of walker was always great for a 1st birthday - they get used so much over the next year (my almost 3 year old still plays with hers now).
My daughter Lux turns 1 in December and I am having someone make a quilt for her using special onesies or clothing items from her first year! Cool idea and a way to save the cute clothes! I am using her onesies from her first holidays, etc. Good luck!
We are getting dd a toddler/crib size muslin blanket w/ her name on It and matching pillow case. But over all she will get a need and a want for birthdays. For the want we are getting her the elephant popper toy. At Christmas we will add " at Christmas we do something you want, something you need, something to ware and something to read.
Mega blocks, vtech go go smart cars train station set( best thing we got, he still plays with it now he's two), an easel, crayons and coloring books, and riding toys
Toddler size chair plastic dishes with the suction cups to stick on the highchair puzzles/board books water/sand table cozy coupe/other riding toy mega blocks/duplos wagon
Honestly, we have so much family buying her toys that we are just buying her some shoes and a winter coat. And we got her a cozy coupe from an online gargage sale site and are repainting it to be a batmobile
Haha! We're doing the same thing and giving him his "first car" for his bday. My girlfriend gave me her old one and we're making it over with a Captain America sticker and paint job.
My mother bought our daughter a personalized piggy bank it is so cute and something that she can keep forever! I'm actually going to get one for our son!!!
