What about one of those books where you get the kids names put into the storyline? You could have DD and her big sister going on some adventure?

eta: I just googled for some and there is picture book version of these now, where they put your childs photo throughout the book. The site I found is called picture me books

You said your sister got her some bathers, what about a matching beach towel or poncho? Plus a nice sun-hat and sun glasses?

You can also get the musical cd's with their name in the songs - we got given one for Alexander and it is quite cute altho it does sound American.

I got my daughter for her 1st birthday a yellow gold baby ID Bracelet (her name engraved on it) ... the chain on the bracelet is not thin like most and has an extendable chain so she can wear as an adult

I got it on special for $120 at Thomas Jewellers in Bourke St Mall Melb in May 2007.

I wanted to give her an heirloom ... as i had one as a baby but my Mother lost it

Also i gave her a beautiful porcelain doll ... funny enough my sister & a friend also gave her one for her 1st birthday (though all different) ... that could be another option for you ... something your daughter can always keep
