My godson's 1st birthday is approaching and I am having a hard time thinking of a gift. His parents are very smart rummage sale shoppers so he has more than enough clothes and toys - even things for when he is several years older. I thought of a savings bond but that is more than I am able to spend right now. Any ideas?
Answer
You know, some kids seem to have all the toys in the world but they don't have the one thing they really, really want and would love. Him being only 1 though, that's going to be tough to determine since you can't just ask him.
At that age, ride on toys for outside are a huge hit.
So are sandboxes and water toys (kid sprinkler, water mat, sand and water table, etc.)
A ball popper is also a very huge hit.
So are paints.
If he doesn't have any of these, they are a "must have" toy for a 1 yr old. Age 1-2 is all about the senses, and water, sand and speed are the biggest hits!
Also, some kids may have all the clothes they will ever need, but if they really, really, REALLY want that spiderman costume or PJ set or hat, but mommy can't afford it (let's face it - dress up and character clothes are WAY expensive) he probably doesn't have it.
For non-toys and non-clothes:
books
toothbrush and toothpaste
first piggy bank
room decor: glow-in-the-dark stars/planets for the ceiling or a cute lamp or pillow

Toys for a 1 year old?
Q. I'm going to my little cousin's birthday party tomorrow and he is turning 1. What would be some good toys for him?
Answer
Really big Legos (the kind the size of your fist, so he can't choke on them).
A ball
A car/fire truck/police car/etc (also the large kind meant for kids that young)
Shape sorter
If you go to the toy store they will put the age the toy is meant for somewhere on the packaging.
