We're going to the first birthday of our friends' daughter this weekend, and I'm not really sure what to get her. I have a 9-month old, but I'm sure what he'll be into at 1 year is much different than what he's into now. What do you usually get kids? Toys? Clothes? Money? I hate to give them more "stuff", as I'm sure they'll be getting lots of presents from the grandparents, but cash seems so weird for a baby.
I usually know the child pretty well so get something I know they'll enjoy/don't have - or I look at their Amazon wishlist. Instead of cash just give them an Amazon gift card. Everyone loves that.
When my cousins were little, I always got them PJs. Everyone gets them clothes but no one buys PJs.
Books and puzzles are always good too. Maybe a Savings bond? Not as weird as cash.
I recently decided that PJs are a great gift. The season will be changing, and DS has none. His birthday is next month, and I will surely use the credit from the gifts that need to be exchanged for this exact purpose. It would be nice if someone actually buys him some instead.
I think pjs are a great idea. Swim diapers are good too.
A friend has a son about 4 months older than DS. When he turned one, we gave him a play date with DS. I made a cute little coupon that said it must be used on a weekend evening so mom and dad can go on a date. I also included a new book for the kiddo. The parents loved some time away. I loved the older kid checking out all my baby proofing.

Books or clothes. Sometimes I do a cute piggy bank and put a little money in it. I like the PJ idea!!

We had 3 1 year old birthdays in Feb. & I got them all this book (plus one for us to keep) https://www.amazon.com/Your-Birthday-Book-Keepsake-Journal/dp/0307342301/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333455570&sr=8-1
We have been using the baby book by the same author which I really like.
