Moms: Recommend 1-yr old gifts
I have to send a gift to my friends son ( born on the same day as Brendan. For some reason I can't think of what to get...I do have one idea..but I want more. I am not looking to buy clothes or books. Thanks in advance!
Re: Moms: Recommend 1-yr old gifts
I know you said no to books, but Gabby got a subscription to Baby Bug magazine for her 1st birthday and she LOVES it! It didn't matter much at first, but after a few months, she started getting so excited to be getting mail with her name on it - LOL! "My BABY BUG book is here!!!" The stories are short, but cute and well illustrated.

The turtle thing that Alex has. I was going to get it for Brendan before I changed my mind. Alex loves his turtle.
Ok, nevermind, I think the same thing that happened wiht the drop and roar happened to the peek a blocks turtle, i just saw it for freaking $70! WTF.
I love the peek a blocks alphabet blocks, I saw those on Target online recently. http://www.target.com/Peek-a-Blocks-Alphabet/dp/B00064MUJE/qid=1219770675/ref=br_1_3/602-6176311-9959848?ie=UTF8&node=316199011&frombrowse=1&pricerange=1500-2499&rank=pmrank&rh=&page=1
Alex also loves his busy ball popper. HE got it for Christmas but is only really getting into it now. http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-Playskool-Busy-Ball-Popper/dp/B00007G39I
He loves any books like this one: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2373401 (I put it in b/c it's a toy!)
Has loved this laptop for several months now: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2609013
His newest love, though, is this stacker: http://www.target.com/Melissa-Doug-Geometric-Stacker/dp/B0006IRTU0/sr=1-8/qid=1219770740/ref=sr_1_8/602-6176311-9959848?ie=UTF8&index=target&field-browse=1038576&rh=k:stacker,n:1038620&page=1
We got it at the amherst st. target. He is infatuated with it.
This is a great one that Jakob got for his first birthday and STILL LOVES! He pulls Caroline around on it now......

We love blocks (peek-a-blocks, mega blocks, duplex), balls (roll-a-rounds, baseballs, big bouncy balls), cars, pushing/walking or ride on toys, bead mazes (like in Dr's waiting rooms), puzzles, bubbles, music (piano, guitar, CDs of kids songs), Little People.
I know you said no books, but I always give books (I'm the daugther of a librarian) & love books w/ matching puppets.
I thought of some more things this morning.
O got all of these for his b'day & they are big hits:

He's also into Magna doodle, cell phones, keys, pots & pans, tupperware, cups, stuffed animals, Leap Frog fridge toys & bath toys.
You could always do something like a savings bond or a mutual fund for the baby. Books are always good. You can never have too many of those! Brianna has a wagon that DH got her months ago at Toys R Us. She LOVES it! What about a bean bag chair? My friends son just got one for his 1st b-day and he loved sitting in it while opening his presents.
HTH!!
