One year old boy birthday gifts

[Deleted]

My nephew's first birthday is next weekend, I know they're already swamped with stuff from Christmas.

What would be something you'd buy?

[ssmjlm]

How much do you like them?

Would a membership to the zoo or similar be welcomed?

lol, well I love SIL and I adore nephew. BIL can suck it.

Idk if they'd go since they're in the suburbs.

DD got a play tunnel/tent for her first birthday and it was a huge hit. (They're usually collapsible, too.)

Megablocks

Ride-on toy

Anywhere Chair (I know they're hit or miss, ours gets a lot of use)

Toy Piano

(I think it's about half the price at Target)

Not sure how much you want to spend.

How about a water table or something else they could store until summer?

We have this one. It's great and inexpensive

Flap board book. Clothes.

My go to first birthday gift for a boy is the board book First 100 Machines. Both of my boys loved that book. I see it regularly at TJMax type stores.

DS 's first birthday is tomorrow and we are more then enough toys from Christmas. The grands are all giving money. Could you do money? Or offer to buy his first/next pair of shoes? Also, we are ready to buy an umbrella stroller now. That would be a great gift if they need one.

DS turns 1 in 3 weeks. And yep, we have more than enough from Christmas! Strangely though, all of the Christmas gifts were toys, so clothes would be great. Shoes too.

I love the water table idea. It's going to be weird not having a birthday mid-year (Growing up DH and I always got summer stuff for our birthdays in May/June). So anything for summer is useful. After a year of having tons of stuff from baby showers, we don't really have much for year 2!

Ball pit, anywhere chair, cozy coupe, m&d puzzles

[lolo]

Subscription to highlights hello Magazine. It's fabulous and the LO will get 12 presents this way.

I need to find these! We checked out some from the library and my 10 month old is obsessed.

Bubble mower, dump truck are on our list for DS birthday.

I like the idea of getting him something that he'll be able to use this summer.

I hope you find it! This is the only book I've had to re-buy because DS2 tore the cover off of our already well loved copy.

Some things my DS got that were a hit:

Little Blue Truck books

O-ball roller

When O and his friends turned 1, I got them all the Parum Drum. O absolutely loved his, and I liked that it was cute and compact. ShaysMomma can weigh in on how annoying of a gift a drum is for a 1 year old.

I bought this for DD on her first bday.  I put away the drum sticks, but she LOOOOVES all the other instruments.  And the drum makes good toy storage!

I was going to get this for another little boy on his 1st birthday, but I knew they'd be overrun with toys and just gave them cash instead.  And a pair of Hanna Anderson pj's because I wanted to give *something* and I doubt she'd buy them herself.  

Someone gave DD a lamb rocker from Costco.  That's fun sometimes and it's something I would've never bought.  My husband calls it the "lamb pony."

Little Red Wagon?

My cousin's daughter turned one on January 1, and my mom and I got her a water table for use this summer. She just got a ton of toys for Christmas, and they were pretty excited about having the water table for use this spring and summer.

My kids have January/February birthdays so I totally agree with summer stuff that they can put away and bring out later. It sucks having Christmas and their birthdays so close so when my friends did this I was elated.

No way - that was a great gift! Loved how the drum itself is the storage for the other pieces of the band. He is really into playing with it still @punky!

I have two winter boys, so I agree with the summer stuff as presents.

Or, money. Especially at 1 years old, they don't have a clue about birthdays/presents and the parents will probably appreciate not having more toys in the house right after Christmas.

Books
Zoo membership or other experience gift
Play tent or tunnel (I like the Circo ones at Target)

[osulori]

Play tunnel or ball pit. AJ has this one www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Playland/dp/B00DUOE9GO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421253742&sr=8-1&keywords=teenage+mutant+ninja+turtles+ball+pit and while it's obnoxious looking he LOOOOVES it, and it doesn't take up as much space as you'd think.

[luckyno7]

Toys for the summer for outside. Golf clubs, Soccer ball and net, toy wheel barrel, basketball. Both of my kids are winter babies and we never got any outdoor toys for summer.
