What is a good gift

I wanted to suggest books, but apparently I'm not the only one who think that that's a great idea :) How about dvd's of educational children shows or a Pixar movie or a Disney movie? When I was a kid, my parents put on Annie or Alice in Wonderland everyday. Cars by Pixar would be a good selection, since the birthday celebrant is a boy.

how about game education or action figure like gundam, masked rider, power ranger, rubric, if i become that boy i will be happy if you give me PSP or nintendo DS

perhaps a book that the parents can read to the birthday boy? it is never too young to instill the love of reading!

You have some good suggestions already! I don't know how much is too much, but how about a family one year pass to someplace the local zoo? That way the whole family and the birthday boy can enjoy the gift all year round! I think at our local zoo, a family pass is like $75 but online or because we got on the mailing list, it was down to $65 - then $55 later in the year. There is a community college about a half hour from us, and they have a mini zoo that is open only on weekends . . . $5 per adult, and $4 per child . . . you can get ticket gifts for all of them for a few hours worth of fun. Anyway, my point is, if you can find a local venue that the whole family can enjoy with their son, it'd be special for the son and his parents who also seem to need their spirits lifted right now. I think that'd truly be special . . . instead of a getting the boy a toy that he's only going to play with a few months.

You can actually cook food for him as added for dining in. Other than that better to give him clothes, socks, or any other daily needs for the baby rather than toys. Or actually if you still have your budget then you can give him 1 toy with balloons as well to make his day very special.

It is hard to judge what thing would be better for this kid. I think easy is buy a gift for a teenager. But, If we talk about one year old child you can buy some soft toy it is a expensive gift, but If you want to economic your money. You can buy little piano for child and when child press a button a melody will play. My cousin have a little boy now he have a one year and seven months, but when he have a one year I think we buy a little tractor and little t-shirt with trousers for he size. It is hard to judge in nowadays If yo want to buy a good gift it is hard to find a cheap one. I hope you will buy a good gift for your friend son. Good luck, Have a nice day!

I reccomend some clothing and a toy. At age 1 he is going to be growing very fast and clothing will definatly be appreciated by the parents. A truck or plushie would be played with by the little boy. I think however that given the age the focus should be on what the parents could use for the child, especially given their financial situation. The little boy definatly won't be able to remember what you gave him and is probably too young to play with toys that are overly extravagant. I am sure that no matter what you give him it will be very much appreciated :)

dorannmwin as everyone else has suggested the other things I would suggest a set of Mozart for toddlers as the selection' is of soothing music and also music that stimulates the infant brain according to a lot of psychologists too. It seems these are specially soothing pieces and way back when Mozart was still and composing he and some other composers had put together some special pieces that the then doctors felt were beneficial to small children.

Hi ,dorannmwin! As far as I am concerned, I think the little is just about one year old. I think if you can take him in or out side the house to take some special photos to commemorate his one year old birthday. I think this can be a very special one and will cost you so much. Just give you a suggestion here. Happy you can enjoy it!Have a nice day!

Perhaps you should give him an automatic driven electronic car.........

Hi dorannmwin, convey my wishes to him happy birthday and blessing too. You can gift him some fixed deposit kind of thing for 10 years like that so that the amount will be doubled at the time of maturity. That he can use it for his higher studies. May be with few dollars but i feel it is worth to him.

I think you could buy a small toy for he . little boy like it very much . Or give him a comic book as his birthday gift . It is not expensive for you , but it can bring him laugh . That is my views .

my cousin's son also turned one about two weeks ago and instead of buying him toys my cousin requested to just buy him either a can of milk formula his son is taking or a pack of disposable diapers. I just bought him diapers and an additional small ball! That would also be a help for them I think. And would also not cost you much.

a toy. kids love to play a lot. =D

If I remember correctly babies that age love bright colors and anything they can put into their mouth or make noise with. Also he will start to really out grow his cloths. If all else fails how about a gift certificate so his parents can choose.

Seriously, it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the love and bond the child feels toward the toy at his age. A toy car or a teddy bear can be special enough. For a child his age, especially at one, price doesn't matter.

If I were you I would buy him a little piano or a very appropriate gift is one of the games which develops child's brain and skills and they can get better orientation about the surrounding world. Appropriate games for kids at the age of 1 are games with cubes, stars, and triangles where they can put them in the right places or a game with indicating lights where the child can push buttons and therefor can recognize the lights and the sounds the game makes. I hope I've helped and I pray for the child to feel love and support from its parents, because when there is no money flow in one's family there can be huge brawls and scandals. I hope the father gets a new job very soon.
