present for a 1-year-old (2 Viewers)

[nooleen]

i'm going to a party next weekend of a friend who has the same birthday as his daughter, who's going to be 1. i want to get a small present for the baby, who will be entirely oblivious. what do parents of one-year-olds want for their kids, that costs about a tenner or less?

easy ebay links would be nice

If you want to give them toys then fisher price is always a safe bet, something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FISHER-PRICE-...66:2|39:1|72:1688|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50
or

cheers, i'll have a look

(just posted before i saw your post, specifying 10 sterling, not that that makes much difference...my connection has gone horribly slow the last couple of days)

 

[nooleen]

i'm currently looking up the definition of 'baby' to see if i used the word correctly

 

[Reets]

They should both be under £10, kids love the little phone but the cookie jar thing makes a noise and lights up when they get a Shape right.

 

[nooleen]

how can they be so easily pleased and so unpleasable at the same time!

Buy them a washing tub. srsly. That was my favourite toy till i was about 3. rolling around all over the gaff in it, using it as a racing car, getting lost in it etc.

AND PLUS, it can double up as a present for your...errr...mate.

 

[nooleen]

hmm
i'll ehh...take that into consideration

 

[Reets]

The kid'll either play with the toy for 5 mins then forget about it or love it so much, they'll be reminiscing about it on a forum in 20yrs time.
Are you sure you want to get her a toy? What about clothes or something?

A small stuffed bunny yoke.Can't miss.

 

[nooleen]

well, i had something practical in mind (which comes down to clothes, pretty much), that's why i thought in the first post the baby would be entirely oblivious. i kind of remembered with surprise when people started making suggestions...'oh yeah, babies like toys...'
no kids for me please nature!

though clothes is a tricky areain any situation

 

[Reets]

Next and H&M do lovely kids clothes, next is kinda girly girl and H&M is funkier. do you want ebay stuff though?

Eve's been reading the Velveteen Rabbit, cries every time she gets to the end then starts all over again

 

[nooleen]

i don't even know the mother, i'd be afraid to choose clothes for her child. what a minefield. what about this yoke, looks like a bit of a laugh: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TODDLER-BABY-RATTLE-ROLLING-TOY-12m-U-WOOD-WOODEN-TOYS_W0QQitemZ250441812416QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Toys_PreSchool_RL?hash=item3a4f7ec9c0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A15|66%3A2|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

it's more of a gesture to the parents to be honest, as long as the kid gets some kick out of it at all it's all grand.

Thats grand,it aint no little soft bunny though(which is also very inexpensive and handy to get)

That looks cool, makes noise to keep the kid distracted (without needing batteries) and says it's fine for her to bite on when she's teething.
Wooden toys are really popular again and are normally a lot more expensive.
Good call.
