At 1 it could be board book or anything parents enjoy reading to child. It's Dr. Suess week so most are $5 or under (Target, Safeway, etc..) and we have all of them and have been reading them (now the kids read them to me) for years.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1438218 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 20:35:48 +0000 citygirldc 1438218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Books are always a good idea.&nbsp; Since this is there first child, I have a feeling they might not have a lot of books. I guess I'll have to do some shopping tonight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1438181 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 19:25:15 +0000 elpgal 1438181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to be a spanner but if the invite requests 'no gifts', I would stick with books and avoid large toys. I like Goodnight Gorilla, Going on a bear hunt, Everywhere babies. Wine sounds lovely too :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1438152 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 18:30:48 +0000 columbine(erin) 1438152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to second Sandra Boynton! Barnyard Dance is still a favorite and my kids are 3 and 5. lol. We also loved the Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle at that age.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1437930 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 04:19:15 +0000 Jeanie 1437930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two of my favorite books that I received as gifts were&nbsp;The Going to Bed Book (Sandra Boynton)&nbsp;and Pat the Cat (Edith Kunhardt). &nbsp;My kids enjoyed these books for years and I have since given then to many new parents.&nbsp;</p> <p>Note:The Going to Bed Book saved me many night time struggles. &nbsp;I would say "well, you have to brush your teeth and go to&nbsp;bed just like the animals do" and we would read the book and it somehow eased the way to bed. &nbsp;If you give a book, it is nice to sign and date it. &nbsp;Years later it is fun to see who gave the book. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1437836 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 22:12:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 1437836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Duplo - which is the big Lego.

Counting, ABCs, colors, etc. Blocks are fun, so are sorters.</p> <p>Something that we always liked were donations to her college fund. A lot of people in my family do that (although not DHs) if they have no idea what else to get a child. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1437772 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 19:30:12 +0000 TylerAnne 1437772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mom (early childhood specialist) recommends a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Brilliant-Basics-Corn-Popper/dp/B00000IZOUhttp://" rel="nofollow">popper toy</a> (link to Amazon) for a first birthday. It was a hit with my nephew. You can get one just about anywhere that sells toys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1437761 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 19:19:48 +0000 citygirldc 1437761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks guys.

DDs still have Shel Silverstein books on their shelves--many of those were gifts from when they were young. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-gift-for-a-1-year-old#post-1437725 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 18:02:05 +0000 citygirldc 1437725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my good friends is throwing a&nbsp;birthday&nbsp;gathering on Saturday&nbsp;for her little boy who is turning one. Although no gifts are required, I feel I must take something.&nbsp;Anyone have any&nbsp;suggestions rather than buying clothes?&nbsp; </p>
