Gift Guide For One-Year-Olds
What do you gift to a 1 year old baby? It can be difficult to decide, as many gifts only hold a baby's attention for a few months, or even a few weeks. 1-year-old's are in the midst of a key developmental stage, and if you're giving them a gift, you have the chance to give them something memorable to help them grow.
We’ve rounded up some of the best gift ideas for babies to ease your search for the perfect present. You’ll be sure to find something on our list!
The Mini 3in1 Deluxe Plus: This gift is our number one for a reason! It grows with kids from ages 1-5, meaning they’ll have it and love it for years. It’s the best value present you will ever buy because your child will use it day after day, year after year. 3 rides for 5 ages all in one box: At age 1 start with the ride-on seat using one of two seat heights. Use the push bar to navigate from point a to point b. Designed with young children in mind, the Micro Mini 3in1 Deluxe Plus features soft edges, a stable upright design, and quiet, smooth-gliding, non-marking wheels that can be used indoors and out. The deck of the scooter is just one inch off the ground, allowing children of all ages to step on and off as they please. The two wheels in front help the scooter absorb bumps and help the child stay balanced. You’ve still got years of fun ahead!
A Photo Session: There are few gifts that a 1 year old will remember for years to come, and even fewer keepsakes that stand the test of time. It’s impossible these days for parents to have enough photos of their kids, so why not have them taken by a professional? Search for local photographers in your area and find one in your price range. Give the family the gift certificate in a frame they can use to hang the finished product!
Fisher Price Classics Retro Chatter Phone: There’s something about phones that really get babies going. This one is a classic that has been tried and tested for years. At about $30.00, it’s pretty affordable and something any family would enjoy.
Wooden Rattle and Teething Toy: Wooden baby toys are trending for 2018 and this modern baby rattle and teething toy is right in style. The rings slide back and forth and the wood is sealed with organic coconut oil.
A Dancing Toy: Kids love sensory toys and this dancing dog is no exception. It plays music, lights up, and dances, keeping one year olds entertained for hours!
Personalized Name Train: A cute memento for years to come, this name train offers another trendy feature- personalization! With parents naming their kids more rare and interesting names than ever, show off their creativity with a toy that will keep any one year old fascinated.
Plui Rain Bath Cloud: We obviously have a thing for Swiss design and this particular item is no exception! Kids get to watch physics at work in what their listing calls “a charming and smart bath toy with a touch of magic; fill it with water, let it rain and then stop the flow with a touch of a finger to the top hole.” One year olds will want to make it rain in the tub again and again!
Farm Toy: This cute farm toy is perfect for child development. It offers imaginative play “from the farm right into a child’s world. Complete with adorable animals, sounds, songs and activities, this iconic toy lets children play sitting or standing on all sides.” It’s a classic that kids will play with for years.
Animal Towel: Bring out a one year old’s love for nature with a personalized animal towel. They are available in several animal options, allowing you to pick your favorite. Its ultra plush material lets little ones use it for both post-bath and just for snuggles.
