1st birthday present?

[Deleted]

We are going to a first birthday party tomorrow, and I have no freaking clue what to give her. We want to spend around $30. Ideas?

I have eleven month old twins and what I'm telling people is clothes. Most people will get them toys, but it's nice to have some clothes, too.

I always buy books for little kids. I figure most kids have more than enough toys.

DS's favorites include: a tunnel from IKEA, a set of plastic beach toys, and clothes (but for the love of God ask a parent what size so they don't have to run all over town exchanging shorts for shorts that will fit this summer).

here's a couple that we got for DS's 1st birthday. Any Little People toys are good too.

Target has a small water table for $30 right now, and we live for that thing (hot climate, outside all the time)

Clothes is another good suggestion. Maybe a quiet time toy (puzzles, books, those big fat crayons and a coloring book)

Ds got so much crap for his first birthday that lights up and makes noise. The gifts I appreciated the most: books, wooden blocks, a fuzzy homemade blanket.

Don't get a walker -- DS2 received 4 of them for his 1st birthday. They must be the hot gift? I dunno.

Gifts he/I loved: a bouncy ball, a hippity hop (needs help to do, but omg he loves it), 24-month clothes (he's a big boy), books

ETA: He loves those tents and tunnel things too

I agree.

I would do books or puzzles. If you want to get a toy, go with little people. DS has a ton of little people and still plays with them pretty much every day. He really loves his little people bat cave and the wheelies bat cave.

I love when DS gets cash (we put it in his savings) or target gift cards (use for clothes and diapers, or I will sometimes let him pick a movie), less stuff for me to have to finds a place for.

Blocks, wooden puzzles, books, Little People, sand toys for summer (shovel, bucket, etc), bubbles, art supplies like finger paints

Thanks ladies! What would I do without you?? I seriously have no idea what one-year-olds do.

I always get books. Because I'm sure that they will be getting enough big toys.

Playmobil 123 or Lego Duplos are what I give now. DS still plays with them and he's almost 4.
