Personalized Birthday Books
Custom birthday books that feature the child’s name and photo make the birthday celebration extra special! A book such as My Very Happy Birthday Book for Boys (also available in a girl version!) features woodland animals that announce the child’s birthday and organize a special party. Personalized birthday books not only help the child celebrate but also help parents teach their child how to read! Little ones will delight seeing their name on every page. Encourage a love of reading with a personalized book such as My Very Own Name, which comes with a soft giraffe plush toy for cuddling. Take kids on a magical reading adventure with My Royal Birthday Adventure or My Superfantastic Birthday Adventure. Personalized books are unique birthday gifts that upgrade your bookshelf!
Baby’s 1st Family Photo Album
Give the little one a personalized photo album storybook that parent and child will treasure, even as the baby grows into adulthood. A customized photo book includes the name and photos of family members and other loved ones. Baby will love seeing familiar faces and learning family nicknames like “auntie,” “dada,” and “grammy.”
1st Birthday Time Capsule
This is a gift you can make during the birthday party! Set aside the most meaningful memories from the baby’s party and put them into a time capsule box, to open later (perhaps the child’s 18th birthday). Add party favors, birthday cards, and small tokens as reminders of the celebration. Ask party guests and relatives to write sweet messages on small pieces of paper and add them to the time capsule. It’s a heartwarming gift that lasts a lifetime!
Custom Growth Chart
This is one birthday gift parents can keep for years. Decorate the child’s bedroom with a colorful, personalized growth chart that features the child’s name. Custom charts can also appeal to the child’s interests or bedroom theme—outer space, sports, trucks or dinosaurs, to name a few! Give parents a special chart to track their child’s growth and get little ones excited about growing bigger.
Bath Toys
Turn bath time into a fun activity with bath toys! Babies and toddlers will love splish-splashing in the tub with floating toys for little hands. Consider a variety of toys that light up, squirt water, and move.
Learning Games
Help little ones learn about letters, colors, numbers and more with learning games! Games might involve letter blocks, pushing an object along a track, or choosing a color. Learning games are educational birthday gifts that help improve hand-eye coordination and build confidence. Give baby a fun gift they can use to learn and grow!
Personalized Puzzles
Give little ones a custom 24-piece puzzle featuring their name, with larger puzzle pieces for little hands to grab. This unique birthday gift for a one-year-old lasts long after the party is over! Kids will love putting together a puzzle that forms their name. For the animal lover, give him or her a farm-themed puzzle. For the space enthusiast, an outer space-themed puzzle will be out of this world and teaches the child the names of the planets! Parents will love a custom puzzle they can put together as a family.
Baby Bicycle or Wagon
Encourage your baby’s independence on this first birthday with a vehicle for scooting and riding around! A baby bicycle is lower to the ground and more stable, making it safe to ride. With a wagon, parents can give their child a ride around the backyard or to the park. This birthday gift offers endless ways to play and encourages exploration!
Surprise parent and child with keepsake one-year-old birthday gifts! These birthday gift ideas can be enjoyed over and over. The best part about a 1st birthday is that a one-year-old can engage with and enjoy their presents. See a child’s face light up as they open and play with their special gift.
