Hi

I'm looking for a different 1st birthday gift, not wanting to spend a fortune... any ideas?

Cheers

Set of 1st day covers (stamps), Royal Mint do nice presentation boxes of shiny new coins, a few shares in some kiddy related company, premium bonds....

National Savings Children's Bonds. They can be opened and then added to by anyone. If you want to, you can get your name put on it as the person who opened it so that they know it was initially from you.

you can buy really nice wooden height charts (from GLTC and MC) which you place pictures in the older/taller they get always wanted one for DD

a pot of bubbles, a big empty cardboard box and an hour of your time!

I just had some made using my daughters photo to use on her christening invites. Really different gift and cost under £15 for two sheets. I've saved one lot for her baby book.

my youngest who is 15 months loves hearing her name and has developed a dance where she holds the cabinet and wobbles her bottom from side to side

it sings their name on it in the song, so they think it is singing to them, I have an Ellie, Alfie, and Helana, and they had my kids names no problem
