Birthday Present for 1 year old boy

[sunnydude]

I wanted to have a sensible, thoughtful insight into what present I should buy for a 1 year old boy whose birthday party i'm attending this Saturday.

However, failing that I decided to come here instead and ask for the PH opinion

What would y'all recommend?

Take a bottle/flowers/choccies for the parents.

[sunnydude]

Not a teddy bear or something?

[mph1977]

something fairly nominal for him to have at the time and something as a keep sake / investment for when he;s older ( even if it is just toy cars etc - you must have see nthe prices for mint and boxed )

[RDMcG]

Gift certificate from a children's clothing store.

Nice sheet of marine ply..

[williamp]

somehting nice from the early learning centre or mothercare (the ages are very accurate: a toy for a one year old will be played with by a one year old

And maybe a Hornby or scalextric catalogue. A bit of fun, pictures of trains and cars to see, pages to rip. Start 'em young!!

Something wooden, or Duplo.

Lego products are the only plastic things I don't routinely sweep into the bin. Oh and Playmobil. Basically, no horrible plastic tat from Poundland or B&M "Bargains". The parents will thank you.

[EnglishTony]

Massive Lego Techmic set. Then you and the boy's father can spend your time putting it together to make sure it's all there and in good working order while the girls gossip about small children.

[antspants]

Big empty cardboard box, kids that age tend to have more fun climbing in and out the packaging than they do with what was inside

[Tango13]

V8 powered chainsaw.

[SirSquidalot]

It's 1 year old it doesn't give a fk, just buy it something shiny that makes noise.

[Mini1275]

A motorcycle.

[DJFish]

Air rifle
Black widow catapult
Bottle of rum

He'll thank you when he's older, his parents probably won't.

Are you going on your own and have you actually been invited?

A certain dental nurse isn't going, is she?
