Help with what to buy DS for his first birthday?

[fionas]

One of those first birthday books are always good - you know where you write down what happened in baby's first year along with photos. You can buy them and you just fill them in and stick in photos.

Or maybe frame the first sleepsuit he wore in hospital, something like that.

What about naming a star after him? I know it sounds a bit corny but like you said, he'll get lots of toys and things from everyone else.

how about a silver engraved cup? My hubby still has his, and it was the only shiny thing that he owned when I moved in with him ... he's always taken very good care of it (plus the eggcup & spoon that were his christening gifts)

I know what you mean, I am also very sentimental. I bought Lily a peuter frame with Happy Birthday on it and had it engraved with her name and the date.

What about a personalised candle? Google renee's candles for some samples.

My son (now 10) was given a globe of the world for his 1st birthday (you know the one's that spin around) - it is really good quality, so will last his whole life - I loved that his Aunty gave him "the world" - a really thoughtful gift - and now it's really handy for his geography and travels!
