What were the best 1st bday gifts?

I'm thinking ahead a couple of months.. but I was just wondering what gifts your LO loved/got a lot of use out of?

I know my fam will get them plenty of clothes and toys, so I want to get them something practical. I'm thinking the PBK Anywhere Chair.. any other suggestions?

The chairs are great, my kids got theirs at 1 year and use them all the time.  Other things DD really got into after 1 year: play kitchen, dolls, doll stroller.

Mega blocks.  A picnic table.

Money. We started a savings acct for DS and all the money gifts went in there. Asians tend to give money for first bdays.

I dyed some playsilks which are a hit. He's also really enjoying Eric Carle books and books with photograph of real things: animals, vehicles, etc.

We got Ollie the PBK chair and he still loves it today.  Great quality too.  Other great gifts that he has loved- wood peg puzzles, riding toys, leap frog laptop, megablocks, and a small table and chairs.

books- the big board books with flaps, especially

She got so much, but she really enjoys her singing teapot, baby doll with stroller and a shape sorter.

My DD got the PBK anywhere chair, leap frog toys, leap frog activity table, and Minnie Mouse laptop (it's pretend).
