My daughter is one and we've just bought her these and she loves them.

She also loves crayons or pens or pencils and will continue to do so for years to come. You can buy pads of paper for drawing on too. It can be as cheap as you make it and always makes a great present for pre schoolers.

I must admit I have only ever seen this baby once so I dont really know what he likes. Crayons could be a bit dangerous for a small child dont you think?
But it does not have to be clothes no,but clothes seem useful!

What about an Aquadraw? Yea 'cos my Tim would probaby eat the crayons.

If I'm honest, clothes aren't always a good idea, because its hard to judge the Mums taste in clothing.

I suppose you are right. I thought Clothes might be handy as you need them for the day to day running of your baby and especially if you are not too well off they seem to be useful at least.

lol You don't allow them to play with them unsupervised or until you think they are ready for them. Hopefully the little boy's parents will already be aware of this. All children develop at different rates.

Bath toys are also cheap and fun as are books.

At 11 months, both my children loved play food (especially my son). We bought him this one from Boots for £10 (what is it with children and mixing things?)

Lol, call me inexperienced, but I have no idea about babies and as I have only seen this one once.


Okay I will look at toys then instead.

I know, but you know what I mean -- things to keep the baby alive--- I was taught in biology that babies are really chemical reactions in a bag. Food in one end, digest it, poo poo it out.
