Best presents for 1 year olds

1111mamma · July 2012

I have three ( ! ) one year old birthday celebrations coming up. From your own experiences, what were your favorite presents that your little ones received? Thank you in advance for any suggestions that you have.

What do you plan to spend?

DD got the Fisher Price Happy Home and loves it but it's about $45 I think

She also got lots of Lego Duplo's (because we told people who asked) she LOVES lego's. They now have pink and purple ones for girls.

She also got big kid tableware. Target has cute sectioned kids plates and bowel sets in the kitchen area. Every toddler loves having their first big kid tableware.

DD got a bag of Mega Bloks for her 1st birthday from our pediatrician neighbor. She still plays with them all the time. I often use this as a 1 year bday gift. The price is right too IMO.

The Playskool Busy Gears was the hit of the show for my 1 year old (and she still loves it 5 months later!)

It is now my go-to gift for 1 year olds (and it works for girls & boys!)

She loves this stacker (I got it much cheaper at Wal-Mart) https://www.amazon.com/Little-Super-Star-Classical-Stacker/dp/B003JNAQ3G/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1343260527&sr=8-11&keywords=fisher+price+stacker

She also love her mega blocks: https://www.amazon.com/Megabloks-80pc-Lrg-Mega-Bloks/dp/B000M8H8Y6/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1343260612&sr=1-2&keywords=mega+bloks

This dog is a big hit around here as well: https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Brilliant-Basics-Snoopy-Colors/dp/B000BB56B6/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1343260654&sr=1-2&keywords=fisher+price+dog

This silly thing provides endless entertainment (also much cheaper at Wal-Mart): https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Baby-Bat-Wobble-Penguin/dp/B000W3RYQS/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1343260731&sr=1-1&keywords=fisher+price+penguin

I agree with pp. Megablocks are a huge hit with my DS. He also loves board books, cars, and trucks.

DD loved her Mega Bloks and step 2 wagon (but the wagon`s expensive).

awisern · July 2012

DS loves his crazy coupe (but it's not cheap). He also got a baby cell phone - it looks like a smart phone with a working screen and everything - it says 18 months on it but I didn't see why he couldn't have it and it's a good distraction from him wanting our cellphones.

He also loves books.

iteachk · July 2012

DD will be one tomorrow. We are getting her a water table and a Little People bath toy. She's also getting a Bitty Baby, Melissa and Doug puzzles, lift the flap books, Stride Rite gift cards, and a lawn chair from relatives.

Leap Frog Scout or Violet Puppy- we give it to every one year old and parents always give us rave reviews on it.

mrsjones06 · July 2012

Balls they can roll; books that play music or make sound when you push buttons, soft vehicles they can push around (target carries a really cute set of 4 big, squishy cars); someone gave my son a personalized placemat for the table which was really cute & useful; a pop up play tent or tunnel; target also has a little plastic wagon full of beach toys & my son loved putting stuff in the wagon & pulling it around. I got in on clearance after summer so it might be going on sale soon.

Thank you thank you ladies!! These are awesome suggestions. I've added a good selection to my Amazon cart. Now, just to decide. Much appreciated and I'll keep this saved for our LO too!

I know I'm late to this party, but I would like to mention that I LOVED that DS received his entire summer wardrobe at his birthday party. I had to buy maybe 2 outfits.

As far as toys go, his favorites were his Little People (he got the farm and the safari zoo truck) and this Super Spiral Play tower:

https://www.amazon.com/Kidoozie-Super-Spiral-Play-Tower/dp/B0006N8YU4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343324720&sr=8-1&keywords=super+spiral+play+tower

It requires no batteries (love that). He will sit there and mess with that thing forever.

My husband made DS a toybox. I liked that :-)

For his party we asked guests to bring diapers/wipes/baby food to donate to the food pantry in lieu of gifts. We liked this idea MUCH better than traditional gifts because now we don't have a thousand more toys my son will play with once or twice AND we could help people in need.

These were DD's favorite of the less expensive toys (as I am sure you don't want to spend a fortune on these parties!)
