    So you're looking for something for a 1 year old, that isn't a toy? and that you can buy on easter sunday morning, one of the big days where shops won't be open. :confused:

    They would deny it, but deep down inside if you were to give anyone (and I mean ANYONE) bubblewrap as a present they would love it.

    You can get hours of fun from that ****

    I once got car mats as a present. Bubble wrap would have been much more appreciated

    Yes it is indeed :cool:

    Unfortunately I don't have a one year old nephew, now if it was a one year old son we were talking about...........

    Scratch card, make sure to write their name on it.

    The bonus is that if it's a winner they can't touch the money till their 18, so every birthday there'll be an interest payment. No presents required till their 19.

    Yes that sums up my situation perfectly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,062 ✭✭✭number10a


    Marmite. And spoon feed it to him as a special treat while you eat his Easter eggs in front of him.

    Good idea might go with that.

    I don't think he'll care what you get him, he's one year old.
    If you want to impress the parents, give them a voucher that entitles them to one night's babysitting, by you, to be used when it suits them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    Take him out for the day, give the parents some time together, best present for everyone. Go to the park, bring him swimming.

    Clothes. My niece is a year old and I buy her €35 of clothes per birthday until she can tell me what she wants. €35 buys a crapload of clothes from Penneys.

    Throw in a bottle of wine though. ;) People who have one year olds need alcohol too.

    A glass of scotch coupled with a cigar, the earlier they start the better.

    Twisting bubblewrap is well enjoyable too.

    An air freshener or some fury dice, or maybe some screen wash. :rolleyes:

    I do the exact same for my little nephew, but usally get them in a bigger size. Hes big for his age and will grow into them, and his parents appreciate it. Although I usally go to Next instead.

    Many good suggestions there OP.
    Maybe a cardboard box? Or a brightly coloured napkin? Or a bucket, you can never go wrong with a bucket.
