    Hi,

    Anyone any ideas on what I could get my goddaughter for her first birthday?
    I really have no idea what to get her. :(

    Ask her parents if there's anything practical that she needs, otherwise head to the nearest toyshop and find the brightest coloured, noisiest toy you can (that's what 1 year old's love ;) (parents may not like the noisy part though ;) ). She's too young yet to appreciate any special meaningful presents, save those for when she's older.

    both my daughters got money boxes as pressies for very early birthdays. one was N e w b r i d g e silver and really beautiful, the other was pretty china/type one that looked like ornament. they got so many toys and clothes, i was delighted with the gifts. eldest is now 12, other is 8, and the money boxes are still going strong.

    How about a children's savings account with a few quid put into it?
    You can add to it at future birthdays/christmases.

    A biggish stuffed toy (about half the size of the child). Something soft, bright colours, cleanable and if possible without anything that can be bitten off (button eyes, etc.).

    Mongey (actually a Gorilla) got a great reception.

    Eddy minds her in bed everynight

    Piggy got his nose bitten off.

    A keepsake like a picture frame, Newbridge, or crystal would be good. Toys come and go, but its nice to have something to keep to remember a childs first birthday.
