whats the best present for a 1year old boy?

All littel boys like to push things around. So I would get him some kind of truck or something with wheels that has been made here in the USA or Australia since that is where you are. Maybe you know or can find a local craftsman to build a simple truck. then you would know what kind of paint is on it or leave it bare.

I'm not that good in giving and buying presents/gifts to infants, but I do know what my friends and loved ones buy just in-case there's a celebration. Like what most of us do here in our country, a set of garments (upper and lower), a toy that would help develop child's brain functions, a good visual aide for them to use in preparing for school or maybe a simple financial aide in which I am more into than the previous options I've enumerated above!LoL I know that this maybe kind of out-of-date, but a good blessing and well wishes is what I also give for the child to live a very prosperous life in the future!;)

One that thing that my son really enjoyed playing with around his first birthday, was a set of block books. They are really soft, so even if your son throws them, it doesn't hurt. We had an issue for a while with my son throwing wooden blocks, so we really loved the soft blocks, too. Anyway, the block books that we bought for our son were Sesame Street. They tell a simple story when you open up the pages, and then they also have a velcro closure so that they stay in block form so they can build with them or whatever. There is also a page in each one that makes noise. For instance one might have a crinkle page, one a rattle, and one a squeaker.

when my nephew was one year old, he loved watching his vcd which shows a lot of different kinds of animals in land and at seas. he loved it till he was 2 years old. he would always demand to insert the vcd so he can watch. ^__^;; when he learned to walk he would even turn off the tv thinking he was changing channels just so he can watch his favorite animals. LOL I hink you can give your son something visually interesting like that. ^__^ advance happy birthday to your son! ^__^

At first, I wish your boy will have a wonderful birthday because he has a careful parent:) I will suggest you to buy books for him because books stand for the knowledge. The best is to learn something, although he is still very little:)

The Fisher Price Ball Popper was a big hit for my son. We got it for him for his 1st birthday and he LOVED it. He also got this "fish bowl" that rocked, played music and lit up and had these balls that went inside and had spinning fish in them which he loved. Other 1st birthday gifts that he loves were those colored stacking rings, a couple of board books and a Disney Sing Along video. Something that he got for his 1st Christmas that was also a big hit was a "Rockin Caterpillar." It rocks back and forth and has colored lights on the belly. It plays music and giggles, too.

For a one year boy i think the best present is dresses or baby power soaps etc.It is not good to give toys like item.

My son was definately happy with a book. :) I'd also suggest manipulative things like wooden blocks, trucks or pretend food. They'll have fun for years!

pop-up books, building blocks or figures. toy trains or jeeps are okay as long as you will buy the big ones. for the samll ones has hazardous parts that might lead to choking when he puts inside his mouth.

educational toys are the things my child got on his first birthday, i think you should stick on those kinds of toys for you can still use it up to the 3 or 4 years or more. i got this flash cards with animals on it and my baby is slowly learning for i give him an hour a day introducing him those animals.

I advice you to buy dress for him and some toys that are not from china to avoid lead intake. LOL. You can also buy milk for him add to his supply.Be practical, buy those that can help him grow stronger, like vitamins.

what else than a nipple...... a nipple is the best time pass for a infant. they just like to suck it all the time. even this will help you when the little guy cries just put it in and relax. and even your son will thank you for it when he grows up..... i suggest a nipple cheap,easily available and many more advantages.

one year old kids do not have a very much appreciation on things. but it is a good idea to buy something that could be useful for the child. either a stroller or a kiddie bike or a carrier. there are numerous gift ideas for kids. do not give kids toys, there has been news regarding lead poisoning on kids who have tasted the lead on toys. some toys contain lead that is used to paing them. being kids they sometimes swallow the toys and bite the toys given to them. a kiddie party would be very appreciated by your child, I presume. but give your child a party of the century anyway. clothes are good gifts but you could give a better one. a college insurance plan would be the best present you could give to your son and to yourself. well, good luck in choosing. there are lots of gifts to choose from. choose the best.
