First birthday pressie?
People are going to start asking soon about 1st birthday pressies as there's only 8 weeks to go for us.... eek! I'm thinking we'll get him:
A Wee Notions nappy (but might have to convince hubby it's worth it... I really really want one!)
A toy drum kit
The House at Pooh Corner in hardback - we got him the first book when he was born and said we'd get the second for his 1st birthday
From other people I was thinking:
Brio trains
Building blocks
Duplo maybe?
Any brilliant ideas I can pass on to relatives?

Our LO will be one in Jan, but with Christmas too, I have been thinking about this as we've been chatting about it in BIJ.
What about jigsaws, clothes, bath toys?
I got my neice a 'first pair' of wellies for her 1st birthday last year. Can't remember the name of the site, but I'm sure google will help. They came in a lovely presentation box and there were a few different designs to choose from. We got her cute ladybird ones! Someone else could then get the rain coat to go with it...although, you'll have to double check as now I'm thinking about it, they may be more girly.
I'll come back if I think of anything else and will watch closely for ideas too!

We thought about a trike/ride on type thing, but we live in a flat so there might not be room to use it? Is it mainly just an outdoor thing?
for his first birthday we bought him a 'little people' car garage, its still one fo his favourite toys and he got lots of mega blocks and mega blocks sets, stickle bricks are a winner too. xx
could family etc get jak clothes in next sizes up? That saves you having to spend out on them. I've been through the Argos catalogue and circled everything I want to get Elliott for Xmas, although we'll get it elsewhere (search for cheapest etc) but that could be a good starting point?

Online anyway...i was gonna go city this week and pick one up so really hope they have it instore xx
He got his first Brio train set for Father's Day (my husband wanted something they could play with together) but he is still in the 'pull up the train tracks' mode. He does love the actual train, though, and I know you can get trains without the tracks which might be an idea to start with.
I've compiled a list of things to pass on to relatives too, so when they ask I'm prepared. Thanks for the tips and advice, girls! x
Did you order online or get it from city? I font want to walk there for them not to have it (omg i'm so lazy lol) Jaks gonna love it Hun xxx
I'm going to get ds the mega block table and lots of blocks..and some messy stuff like finger paints. Dunno what else yet
