First Birthday gift ideas

Sponge_Cake

Can anyone give me any ideas for my son’s first birthday? We haven’t got much money at the moment.

As he isn't going to remember it then why put yourself under pressure?

Cardboard box and a wooden spoon?

Nice photo in a frame?

Hand made card?

Although as MovingForwards has said the child won't care so perhaps the best idea is a babysitter and a meal out for the parents.

Who are you wanting to do this for, really?

Your son won't know what's going on or whether he gets a present.

Are your peers holding parties for their 1yo's?

Are your parents expecting you to do something to mark the day.

Save your money for when he'll appreciate it....18 maybe?!!;)

Argos have a wooden shape sorter for about £8

Join him up at your local library (it's free!) and get him to choose a book or two a week you can take home and read to him

As others have said he really won't remember so you don't need to buy expensive presents. A couple of cheap wooden toys wrapped up so he has something to open is plenty.

Take him to a local park for an hour.

A nice little tea party at home and just a few well chosen fidt

Sorry it won’t let me edit on my phone.... Argos have lots of 2 for 15 gifts that would be suitable but just spend the day making memories. Lots of photos etc

I think parents put too much pressure on the perfect birthday (I have 2 December babies and forever feel guilty!)

Start collecting birthday wise photos of him and gift him when he will be young.DO some get together with your family members.

Make some special day and a lot of photos, so after you'll look at it together. Baby's like things like that. You don't even have to book a place. Go to the park with children's playground on a good day, make some huge bubbles, get couple of balloons. If you have friends, you could make a picnic party in the park...
