I got my nephews 75 dollar savings bonds for their 1 year birthdays. I'm the boring aunt now, but they will be thanking me when they are looking for beer money in college and have some cash

Re: 1 year old gift recommendations?

Depending on the girl, a baby doll and stroller could be good. DD was already into that at 1 y/o.
Anything from the Fisher Price Laugh n Learn line is pretty much awesome. My niece has this tea set and I think its adorable:

I've also heard that "Potsy" is nice too:

Otherwise, you might want to call her mom and see what size she is in and if she needs anything in the next size (PJs, jeans, socks, etc.)
As of today, I have a 1 year old!
Depending on how much you want to spend, it's always better to give experiences rather than material goods.
Swim lessons are a good one.
