Never Let Them Forget Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I am really stuck what to get my little girl for her 1st birthday? Has kickbackers got any suggestions or links to help me out? 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS86 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 If you have the space for one i'd recommend one of these. I'm a father of 4 so have seen plenty of toys bought and then sold again 6 months down the line and this (or similar) has been a hit with all 4. https://www.amazon.com/Little-Tikes-Light-Go-Treehouse/dp/B01CV08N8W Again if you have the space a ballpool can be quite good too, even just pick up a cheap paddling pool and the balls. Loads of fun, apart from when it gets emptied and you have to tidy the balls back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 A bit random, perhaps, but how about a puppy? They'd grow up together and it would certainly provide a great deal of entertainment for your wee girl. Probably be a fantastic aid to her alertness and development, too.

Салатные палочки Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 My youngest daughter was one in August and we just got her loads of wee musical things, blocks and shapes. This is probably the last birthday and Christmas you could get away with not spending that much on them, although, as was the case with my gf, that doesn't matter to them. She ended up with all sorts, including a rocking unicorn that she definitely is too wee for. The wee one loves this. It plays music, has shapes in it, talks to them and it wheels around. It's not that expensive but I've found with my wee one if it's loud, colourful and annoys you after a while, they will no doubt love it.

Салатные палочки Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The above is of course true but doesn't seem to apply to women, who want to spend a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 A puppy (as mentioned above) plus some whisky that is beginning it's maturity right now - when she's 18 (if you bring her up the right way), you can enjoy it together.

Irufushi Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 We bought minimal amount of stuff for our daughter. It’s true enough what a few have said they ain’t gonna remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¼½¾ Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 If she'd not going to remember, just get her a big cardboard box. She'll have a great time with that. Oh, and so you're not seen as a scrooge, get her a piece of jewelry, like an engraved locket with her photo in, which she can keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecN Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 A baby at 1 year old might not remember their first birthday and presents in the immediate timeframe but the photos of the day will last that individual and the family a lifetime.

Carl Fredrickson Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Both my kids (aged 4 & 9) love books. My oldest is an advanced reader in his class and their love of books and stories is probably due to bedtime stories from a very early age. It also helps with a bedtime routine. My youngest got a set of cardboard cube building blocks for her 1st birthday which she loved and still plays with. Letters and numbers and animals are on them. Also Duplo was a favourite with both of mine too. Enjoy the young "play" years as it will not be long before they want a phone and PS4/5 or whatever the young folk use.

Bauld Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If not done already a savings account/Isa. We started one for junior when he was 1 and so far, putting away only small amounts each month, there is enough for a first car (slightly better than a dent it all you like runaround) in today's market. But we hope there will be enough to give him options when he is older, machine drivers licence, university/college options etc. Something to give him a chance at a decent start.

CavySlaveJambo Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I would agree with the books comment. Some classic selections like “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” if she doesn’t have them already plus all children deserve their very own mini library Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
