Great Gift Ideas for a 1 Year Old!

Great Gift Ideas for a 1 Year Old!

Here is the first post of my series on Great Gift Ideas! I am always looking for great things to get my loved ones or am asked by friends for suggestions. I decided to document it to help others that may have the same need.

Since my little one recently had his first birthday, I am currently up on the 1 year old toy buzz. Here are some of the great things my little one loves that make great gifts!

ELMO!!! Is there any question? Anything Elmo seems to be a winner! Elmo Live is the new craze but is quite expensive. It is regularly $69! You can try to keep an eye out on eBay or Craig's List and could score one for cheaper. My little guy had Elmo on his coat. He will look down throughout the day and smile and say "MELMO".

If you want to have an Elmo Party, here are a few products you could check out:

Elmo Mylar Balloons
Printed Elmo Invitations
Homemade Invitations

Books: My little guy really likes books with lots of color and different animals. He is a fan of the Sesame Street books which you can usually find at Target for $1! The key is to find books that are short and sweet. If the book is too long, they will get up and walk away half way through.

Here are some great book ideas:

Elmo Guessing Game About Colors
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
10 Little Ladybugs

Music: Yes, I know, another noise maker but that is what they love! The more noise and the more variety of noise the better. Just make sure you turn them off at night if you have cats or you will wake up wondering who is in your house! Been there, done that.

Here are a few options:

Music Set
6-Piece Music Set
Tub Tunes

Homemade Picture Book of Babies: You could use old baby pictures of your family which would also make a great memorabilia. You could also handmake one using cutouts from magazines or catalogs and then laminate the pages to make it baby proof. These little guys seem to love looking at other babies. It seems to be very calming and entertaining to them. My little guy will see a picture of a baby and walk around showing us over and over saying "Baby!" It is very cute.

Here are a few companies that you could purchase the memorabilia books through:

Shutterfly
Snapfish
Kodak Gallery

Toy Phone or Remote: Why is it that boys love phones and remotes? I don't understand the attraction. My little one sees a remote or phone and v-lines for it. If we don't watch him, they will end up in water somewhere. That is how I got my new cell phone :-) My suggestion is to get them a toy one, don't give them an old one that you don't use anymore. If you do this, they will associate anything that looks similar to a toy which is not a great idea if you want to be able to find the ones you use. My little one's grandma let him play with hers and now he always wants mine!

Here are a few that I saw:

Elmo Talking Cell Phone
Teaching Telephone
Silly Sounds Remote Control

Do you have a 1 year old? If so, please comment with their favorites to keep the ideas coming.

If you have an occasion that you need help finding a gift for, email me and I will make a post in your honor!

FREE Foot Massage!

My mom and I took advantage of a great FREE foot massage. It was wonderful. Have you heard of a store called LUSH? They are a store that specializes in handmade, all natural products. They have everything from hair, face, body, fragrances for every member of your family.

They offer samples on any of their products. They even will give you credit in store if you purchase something, try it and don't like it. We have loved everything we have tried so far.

Anyways, back to the foot massage. We were in about a month ago and one of the gals mentioned that they offer the foot massages for FREE. We jumped on that and made an appointment. They say that they like to do at least one appointment a week but they are very flexible. All you have to do is click here and find the store nearest you, call and make an appointment. It is that simple. Then go, relax and enjoy! It was well worth the time and 8 hours later, my feet are still smelling and feeling WONDERFUL!

Today's Trouble

So today was quite a fiasco. I went to my site when my son was napping and notices that most of my graphics were replaced by an ugly x in a white box. Not a good sign in my mind.

I then went to my server and got a giant error message that said I exceeded the number of hits it allows and my site was temporarily shut down. It told me it would only be an hour. I just checked, 10 hours later, it is still down.

I called my hubby and he told me to upload onto his. Well...same sad story but different reason. His server crashed with a different error message.

I resorted to purchasing a host server with PLENTY of space so "cross my fingers" this won't happen again. I will not be able to upload to that server until sometime tomorrow though so you may see some funny things between now and then.

So the good is that I have a lot more wonderful viewers of my blog that are utilizing my posts & links! VERY EXCITING! The down side is that now I have to pay monthly, though a small amount, to do what I love. I don't mind, just help me out by spreading the word about my blog and keep the clicks a comin'.

Thanks to all of you who have started following my blog. I really appreciate you!

Pay It Forward!

I read about this from Mrs. Cox's Slice O' Heaven. I thought it was an awesome idea. Sometimes we get caught up in busy lives and forget to give to others. This is one way I can give to 3 of my readers!

The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a gift from me sometime during this year.

When and what will be a surprise to the winners!

Isn't that the coolest?

There's a small catch though....

Post this same thing on your blog and then come back and leave a comment telling me you're in.

Remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift.

*Don't forget to post this on your blog first, then come back and leave a comment on this post!*
