10 Awesome First birthday Gift Idea-- Guest Post by Jenny @ Cloth Diaper Revival

We're back with the second part of our First Birthday posts by Jenny at The Cloth Diaper Revival. Jenny is a sahm to her little guy Noah, who has his first birthday coming up. She has already given us a great guide to planning a first birthday party. Since not all of us are necessarily planning a birthday party in the near future, here's a great guide for us guests about what gifts we should get for the big day.


10 Awesome First Birthday Gift Ideas

Activity Cube: The maze is my son’s favorite toy at the pediatrician’s office and the letter abacus is his favorite toy at the dentist office! This toy combines both with a few extra fun features sure to provide hours of entertainment! I love that it’s made of wood instead of plastic! B. Toys Zany Zoo Wooden Activity Cube, Target.com $62.39

Activity Walker: This is a great toy for developing walkers! Great for developing gross and fine motor skills and toddlers will love the chomping sound the alligators make as they walk. Chomp and Clack Alligator Push Toy, MelissandDoug.com $49.99

Wooden Puzzles: Chunky wooden puzzles are great for tiny hands. Not to mention these designs are adorable! Check out Melissa and Doug Puzzles too! Stacked Animals Wooden Puzzle, Dwellstudio.com $14

Anywhere Chair: This chair from Pottery Barn is great (and super comfortable)!  It looks so nice you won’t mind it in your living room and gives your child a place to sit without destroying your furniture! It’s light weight so you can easily move it around your house and the cover comes off for easy washing. Anywhere Chair, Pottery Barn Kids $129

Books: When all else fails and you are stumped for a kid’s gift (any age), by books! Books are my absolute favorite gifts because they last forever! Books can be read over and over again! I love this book, Little Pea by Amy Krouse Ronsenthal, Barnesandnoble.com $12.08

 

Wagon:  A great gifts for trips to local fairs, walks around the neighborhood, etc. Get a plastic one so the parent’s don’t have to worry about rust or burned baby legs! Jr. Explorer Wagon, Little Tikes $79.99

Museum/Zoo Memberships: This is an absolutely wonderful gift! Buy a yearly pass to a local Children’s Museum or zoo. The child can go as much as they want with this gift! Check out the local attractions in your area for cost and ideas.

Theme Baskets: If it’s summer time, create a pool or beach gift basket. A few water toys, a beach towel, maybe a new swim diaper! Another great option is a bath gift set. Put together some bath squirters, toys, water books, and a new hooded bath towel.
