First Birthday Gift Ideas: Keepsakes That Last Beyond the Party
By FONDLORE
A first birthday is as much a celebration for the parents as for the little one, marking a whole year of firsts. One-year-olds are often more interested in the wrapping paper than the gift, so many families appreciate presents that will last. Here are some first birthday gift ideas.
A personalised first birthday keepsake
A personalised first birthday keepsake celebrates the child’s name, birthday and first year. It is a gift for the whole family to treasure, and a lovely choice from grandparents and godparents.
Toys that grow with them
Stacking toys, push-along walkers and simple wooden puzzles suit one-year-olds who are starting to explore and move. Always check the age guidance on the packaging.
Books for bedtime
Board books with bright pictures, textures and flaps are perfect at this age. Write a short birthday message inside so the book becomes a keepsake.
A first birthday time capsule
Gather a newspaper from the day, a photo from the party, a handprint and a few notes from family. Seal it in a box to be opened on their eighteenth birthday.
An experience for the family
A family membership to a local farm, zoo or soft play centre gives the parents days out to enjoy together throughout the year.
Making the first birthday memorable
Take plenty of photographs, keep the cards and save a piece of the decorations. These small things become precious memories, and they look wonderful alongside a keepsake that marks the day.
