Whether you are looking for first baby gift ideas or plush toys, the art of giving creates happiness and this is even more prominent in babies.
So why do personalised baby gifts hold that special place in people’s hearts? The tradition of making presents unique has been around for many centuries. From Godparent presents through to first baby gift ideas, a monogrammed name or personal message increases the value of the sentiment and can make even the most inexpensive gift look important.
Baby and toddler toys are so easy to pick up, whether you choose a book or a jigsaw. However, if the book has little Emma’s name embossed on the pages or if the jigsaw is a photograph of little Emma, those ‘boring pages’ or ‘awkward pieces’ become something special and unique only to her.
Personalised baby gifts represent the quality of a present and not the quantity. This separates your gifts from all of the others and makes them stand out.
Children love being in the limelight. There is nothing better than broadcasting little Emma’s achievements to the world. It helps to boost confidence and in the case of clothing, can often allow parents to get away with toddler wearing that hat which she would normally refuse to put on. T-shirts or baby grows could even be monogrammed with funny sayings or pet names which are relevant to the child.
Nursery rhyme CD’s are a novel way to create personalised baby gifts. Some companies allow you to have baby’s name added to the lyrics of songs. Your toddler will just giggle with joy when he hears someone singing a song all about him!

Your child’s first birthday party is a special occasion, and definitely one that should be captured on camera and cherished forever.
Make the day happy and fun and hold it in a place where your little one feels comfortable. The same goes for guests; invite familiar faces that your son or daughter is used to seeing. These are the people who have got to know your toddler throughout the past twelve months and will provide baby gifts which suit your baby’s personality.
Grandparents, Godparents, Aunties and Uncles usually ponder for weeks on end, trying to come up with innovative first birthday gift ideas. They will be waiting to see how your toddler reacts.
Play it safe and ensure that your gift will be an instant success and not one which will go down in history as the present that ruined a little boy or girl’s day because they were so scared of the bouncing clown!
Toddler toys need to be sturdy and secure as one year olds tend to put everything into their mouths. Also, look for toys which will help with development or are soft and cuddly. Look for plush toys which look strong enough to cope with being chewed, loved to pieces and dragged around the floor.
Every child loves a rocking horse as it emanates feelings of how they were gently rocked whilst in the womb.
By following some of the tips above you can provide toddler toys which are more fun to play with than the wrapping paper they came in. Plus you keep little one in your good books for a long, long time.
