    My friend's daughter is turning one next weeekend, and I am so stumped for gift ideas!! I asked her parents what she might like or need....and they just said she has enough clothes and toys so please dont get more of them!! The only other thing I can think of is some nice books....any other ideas guys????

    Get her a little pink & purple ride-on plastic motorbike - my kids have all had them and for the cost of $20ish from Big W/Kmart etc - they really last and all the kids just love them!

    We need a new one so my other kids will be buying Zander one for his 1st birthday

    Mmmmm no toys or clothes.... I was going to suggest a rag doll because it's soft but..... That's a hard one ?? Maybe a nice first tooth, first curl keepsake ?

    My DD was given one of those Fisher Price potty's, which actually makes the flushing noise when they press the button.

    I thought it was a great present, even though we already had a potty from DS's time.

    OH guys thank you!!!! So many wonderful ideas!! Im writing them all down now so I dont forget when I get to town!! I especially love the first tooth type keepsake idea and the plastic motorbike sounds so cool I would be tempted to get DS one while Im there lol (start his Santa stash early!)

    Ammaki, I hope some of these ideas will be good for the boy birthday you are going to

    When Georgia turns one I am going to buy her a charm bracelet (obviously she wont wear it till she is older) and each year I will add a charm to it. Just thought it would be a special keepsake
