There is nothing quite as special as a first birthday. Babies grow so fast, and these major milestones only come around once. Your special little cherub is worthy of a special first birthday. You want to do whatever you can to ensure they get the very best in life, especially on their first birthday. So what first birthday gifts can you get baby for his or her first birthday?

First birthday gifts for babies come in many forms. Whether you are looking for something simple, educational or a special keepsake for baby, your gift choices are limitless!

Gift ideas for a one year old:

1. Make a photo album: Nothing is more special than a photo album featuring the highlights of baby’s first year. Depending on how creative you are, you could create a scrapbook with the photo’s and other mementos from the year.

2. Open a bank account: They always say the sooner you start saving the better, you cannot get much sooner than a first birthday! By the time baby is old enough to use the bank account, there should be a nice sum in there!

3. Put together a gift basket: Creating a gift basket for baby could be a fun project. You get to spoil baby with a number of smaller gifts that he or she needs. You can include anything from clothes to toys to
books and more.

If you do not have the time to implement any of these ideas, you might want to consider shopping for your baby’s first birthday gifts online. At Born Gifted, you can find a fantastic selection of first birthday gifts that require nothing but a few clicks of a mouse. Sit back, browse our fantastic selection of gifts, including pre-made gift baskets.

A first birthday is a very special event, so the first birthday gifts should reflect this. It’s true that the one-year-old in question may not be very clear about what it all means, nor will they remember it in years to come, but there’s no doubt that they will understand the excitement and attention at the time.

There’s always the problem of deciding what to buy for a one year old. Baby toys will certainly go down well and there are so many to choose from, from soft toys for a small child to cuddle and feel secure with to activity toys that will stretch them and encourage their imagination.

We at Born Gifted have some special ideas for first birthday gifts. How about a special photo album for the birthday boy or girl? We are so used to having photos of the little ones, but how often do we think of them having a photo album of their own? Small children love looking at photos of themselves and their family and recognising their own and other people’s faces. It helps them to remember special events and activities as well.

Or a more active toy might be the stacking blocks with numbers and pictures on the sides, which will help the toddler to start counting as they stack the blocks on top of each other – or more likely as you stack them up and the one-year-old knocks them down again!

But no matter, they can learn to count just as easily this way; it’s the joining in and fun that matter and that’s why we love to give birthday presents.
