What to give the child for 1 year?

The first year of a baby’s life flies by. This is not the same thoughtless kid who a year ago rejoiced in any new subject. Now this is a thoughtful quick-witted child, it is not so simple to interest him. Therefore, the choice of a gift for the first birthday of the baby should be approached with all responsibility.

There are some rules that will help make a good gift choice. First of all, try to do without surprises, it is better to discuss the present in advance with the baby's parents. For example, a guest would like to present something bulky to a child, but will his mom and dad like this gift? Perhaps the family lives in a small apartment, and such gifts are inappropriate here. In addition, who, if not mom, knows better what her child will like.

Keep in mind that at this age it is not recommended to give presents with small details, since a curious baby will definitely unscrew the dangerous element, try it on the tooth or try to put it in the nose. If the toy is made of plastic, then evaluate its quality. It must be shockproof material.

Do not take soft toys. They are not interested in a mobile one-year-old baby; at this age, children are energetic, so a soft toy is not the best option. The young birthday boy will remain equally indifferent to rattle - This toy is attractive for babies under the age of six months. Do not buy a constructor, as it contains small elements, and also avoid toys without a quality certificate.

Do not take gifts intended for an older age, and also take into account the gender of the child. Everyone knows that the ideal option for a one-year-old boy is car. For example, not a single man, even such a small one, will refuse a large bright truck. Particularly interesting is a model that can be rolled on a rope.

Another suitable option is a machine in which the child fits himself and can ride around the apartment or in the yard, pushing off with his feet. This is not only an interesting gift for the baby, but also useful. Children's wheelchairs develop dexterity, strengthen leg muscles, and teach coordination of movements. It is better to abandon expensive models on batteries, since at this age it is more useful for a child to move independently.

For a girl, the most pleasant gift will be doll. It is better to choose a doll that you can wear and wear. To do this, do not forget to buy an additional wardrobe for the toy.

Choose a doll from durable material. Her size should be comfortable for the young housewife and her little fingers. Another gift option that might interest a one-year-old baby is children's house.

Practice shows that toy hut girls value more than boys. There, a little housewife runs her own household, arranges her life according to her taste, and uses the house for playing hide and seek. An unusual gift for a one-year-old lady - matryoshka. No need to think that this is an outdated version of surprise.

Choosing even the most obvious gifts like the above cars or dolls, do not take the first copies that come across. For example, make sure that the tolokar has a back that will not allow the baby to fall. In addition, this additional element can be used as a pusher. It will be even more fun for the little birthday boy if his vehicle has an opening trunk where you can put your favorite toys. Some models have a steering wheel with a music button.

The advantages of such a gift are the unambiguous interest of the baby and the affordable price. However, beware of wheelchairs made from fabric materials. At this age, the child is not yet accustomed to the potty and may stain the toy.

As for the doll, here the donor’s imagination can be limitless. Naturally, this should be a princess with a beautiful face, but if the little birthday girl already has a whole collection of dolls, then you can pick up accessories for them. For example, every girl will be delighted with a doll stroller. It is better to choose a stroller made of metal rather than plastic, since the plastic frame can not stand it if the baby is leaning on it.

The same goes for doll crib. It is best to ask parents in advance which doll their daughter loves the most and choose a crib or pram for the size of a particular toy.

Another option for the girl is a children's kitchen. Now in the assortment of children's departments there is a wide variety of children's dishes, tables and chairs from different price categories.

If the birthday boy was born on the eve of winter, then a sled is a useful gift for the first anniversary. There are many options: wheeled sledges, simple models, instances with a pusher handle and others.

A summer alternative is tricycle with holder for mom. When the baby adapts to operate the pedals independently, the handle can be removed.

At 1 year, the child will not be interested in a symbolic gift, but with age, he will appreciate such a present and will understand its essence. List of the most popular symbolic gifts.

• Fine wine. Of course, this gift is given to parents, but with the condition that the bottle will be opened on the day of the child's full age in 17 years, it is the birthday man who will take the first sip. You can even suggest burying the bottle in the ground, just remember to mark the place where the present will be buried. After 17 years, a child who has already grown up will surely remember the guest with a kind word.
• Tree seedling. It would be nice to plant an escape in the presence of the birthday man and take pictures, so that in the future a grown child knows that this tree was planted in his honor. Over time, the baby himself will begin to care for the seedling, which will accustom him to responsibility, kindness and love of nature, and will also always remind about the donor.
• Height meter. Now the baby can stand, it is growing rapidly, and parents will be interested in taking notes. Gradually, the child himself will each time be interested in how many centimeters he added in height. Many people use a door jamb for this purpose, but not every family wants to spoil the interior.
• Curl box. Parents of one-year-old babies have a tradition of cutting the girl’s first curl and keeping it for life. You can give them a beautiful box as a presentation. Even better, if the chest is made using the scrapbooking technique or beautifully decorated with your own hands. The casting kit, which will help parents capture the first cast of a child’s pen or foot, also falls into the same category.

Each guest is tormented by the question: what to give the twins on their birthday? Need to choose the same presents or different? Many are touched by twins who walk in the same overalls and with the same toys, however, according to psychologists, parents who are eager to buy their children everything identical, deprive them of their individuality.

If it's cars, then let one of the twins have a “police” and the second have a fire engine. If dolls, then they should be brunette and blonde. It is not practical to give exactly the same toys; it will be more interesting for children to exchange presents.

Radically different gifts are also better not to give. You should not buy one gift for two, otherwise it will become a "bone of contention". If you still want to make a common gift for the twins, then let it be something large-scale, for example, children's tent, cabin, pool with balls, swedish wall and other things that twins can play at the same time.

Parents of twins and especially triplets know how financially difficult it is to raise children of the same age at the same time. Each item is bought in duplicate, or even in triplicate. Therefore, a great gift for a large family is a money envelope. For mom and dad, such a surprise will definitely not be amiss. And in order not to offend children, you can buy everyone an inexpensive toy, for example, a helicopter and an airplane.
