1st birthday

im the same my l/g will be 1 on 17/04 shes got ao many toys already and so many 12/18 clothes and 18/24 shes massive. i mean of course its a special day but they wont remember it to hate you for mot buying her anything x

My daughter's main present is going to an aquarium lol but she does have other small presents, just age development stuff. Mostly because my son is 5 and would wonder why she had nothing though

Nope, not bad at all. A one year old doesn’t want for anything.

Could you get her something for the garden? That's what we are doing personally as we don't particularly need anything and hopefully the weather will be improving. Other than that though, we're just taking him for a nice day out somewhere x

While it’s not ‘bad of you’ i feel like you could look back & regret it. You’ll never get this time back and celebrate her first birthday again. If it’s a financial issue i’d recommend vinted, You can get really good bargains you just need to have a good look 🩷x

Definitely not! We haven’t got our little girl much, only because she has so many toys still from Christmas (she wasn’t old enough for a lot of them at the time!) and she gets things as and when she needs them. I felt guilty not getting her anything which is why we’ve got her a few small bits and are taking her to the zoo on the day xx

For them it is like any other day, so no. I’m not planning to make a huge fuss either. I’m already buying everything for him that he needs. I have just ordered some non-toxic finger paint and edible crayons. But i would buy these without the birthday too. I’ll just make a smash cake for him on the day and that’s about it.

Im feeling the same all were doing is taking her to the zoo

We didn't do a Christmas present, well technically that's not true he was obsessed with TV remotes at the time so we wrapped an old one up and gave that to him he was waving it around all day 😅 but for his birthday we are doing something small for him and taking him out for the day. We discussed no presents and were absolutely set on it then I saw something on tiktok and knew he'd love it and he doesn't have anything like it so I said payday we will get it but payday is 5 days before his birthday so we are going to save it for then.

At this age they still have no clue what presents are or that it's a special day so please don't feel bad! Next year is when memories will be made as theyll be a lot more interactive!

It’s not bad at all! We haven’t got much. We got a nice custom toy box and a couple wooden toys but that’s it. She doesn’t know any different and she will get spoilt from others no doubt. We are taking her to a safari zoo on the day and a little gathering at a local nature park for picnic with people the day before. Experiences are what matters to them at this age and being surrounded by those that love them x

Not bad at all! They don’t want for anything and like you say they will get plenty from family. Just a cake is perfect as that’s a nice memory for you x

We are going away for my son 1st birthday to chesington . Staying overnight up there . That’s his main present to be honest
