BEST 1ST BIRTHDAY GIFTS: A WOODEN TOY
 
As a baby turns one they start their journey into toddlerhood, they’re likely to be finding their feet around this age and becoming more independent. Between the ages of one and three, children develop immensely and this development is largely aided by lessons learned through play. We have a host of wooden toys available at My 1st Years that little ones love to play with as they sail through each development phase. From puzzles, stackers and pull-a-long toys to imaginative play kitchens and instruments for when they get bigger. Of course, you can buy toys anywhere but our beautifully crafted wooden toys are all personalised making them more gift-worthy than the ones you find at the supermarket.

BEST 1ST BIRTHDAY GIFTS: A LITTLE EXTRA FOR THEIR ROOM
 
From playtime to sleep time, from the age of 1 little one will start to spend more and more time in their own bedroom. That is why our beautiful collection of home accessories and personalised storage solutions are a great gift for a first birthday. If you know a popular baby who is likely to receive tonnes of new toys Mum and Dad may appreciate the extra storage space of a toy chest or storage bag, while the birthday boy or girl will grow to fall in love with seeing their name written in their bedroom or playroom. We don’t just have storage but you can find cushions, prints, teepees and so many more room accessories, all of which are perfect for a birthday treat!

We are talking about one of our ride-on toys or rockers, they’re one of our most popular first birthday gifts and are a toy that little one will play with for years to come. We know that having a toy that large in the home means it has to look nice, which is why all of our ride on toys looks as great as they are fun!

As little one enters their toddler years their soft toys often become their best friends, and they will start to use them not only for comfort but imaginative play too. We have a huge selection of soft toys from mischievous monkeys to dreamy dolls all available to personalise! However, did you spot Stacey Soloman gifting her son Rex one of our best-selling bunny soft toys on his first birthday, proving it to be the best gift ever!
