Becoming a one year old marks the change from being a baby to becoming a toddler. Life for mum and dad changes from looking after a baby, who can roll around and maybe crawl but doesn’t really move around that much, to a toddler who is everywhere all at once. So all this new growth and progress really deserves some exciting first birthday gifts to mark the beginning of this new stage of childhood and parenthood. Here at Born Gifted we have exactly what you need for this important birthday, as well as new mum gifts to congratulate the mother of the child.

This is the age from which your toddler will start to become a bit more independent and significantly, at some stage in this year, will probably learn to say ‘no’.  This is a whole new stage of learning for parents as well as the small child as you both start negotiating with each other in a new and different relationship.

That’s not to say that your toddler is immediately a different child, so all the baby toys that have been so loved and enjoyed will still be played with and will still give a great deal of pleasure, as well as the reassurance of familiarity that small children find so comforting as they speed on with their new achievements.  You might like to keep some of the older baby toys separately for a while so that they seem fresh and new to your toddler when they are brought out again.  You will be able to share their enjoyment of personalised baby gifts as they recognise their familiar friend.
