Finding inspiration for a gift for a 1-year-old girl can be difficult; gifts for all ages are hard, so definitely for a 1-year-old too! We are happy to help with an extra dose of inspiration so that you don't miss the mark when visiting the birthday girl and the birthday party.
What are the possibilities for a gift for a 1-year-old girl?
A girl who is 1 year old or is about to turn 1 has truly passed the baby phase. A child of about 1 year old can often crawl, perhaps take their first steps, babble, point, wave, and wants to eat along rather than eat independently. The child is thus fully in the developmental and discovery phase, which is why it is useful to align gifts with these phases.
Five Tokkelientje tips for more inspiration!
Wooden toys
Very handy to give because there are many fun things to consider such as: a tool kit, wooden stacking stones, or a make-up case. Wooden toys are indestructible for a 1-year-old girl, so they also last a long time, a real win-win situation!
Musical instrument
What is also very fun for a 1-year-old girl is a musical instrument. Okay, we have to admit right away that for parents and/or neighbors it might be a bit less fun, but for a child's development, it's super beneficial. It stimulates creativity and motor development. A child becomes very happy making noise and often enjoys moving along, in short, a lot of happiness.
Blocks
A good motor exercise is playing with blocks. That's why giving blocks for a 1-year-old is not a bad idea. Stacking, throwing them around, or knocking down the tower are all fun things that can challenge and trigger the child.
Outdoor toys
Nothing is as nice as playing outdoors. Enjoying the sand with your feet or on the blanket in the park. At Tokkelientje, there is a wide range of outdoor toys such as a watering can. With this, you can't go wrong because parents also love to be outside once in a while!
Clothing
Tokkelientje's large online children's clothing range has been carefully curated and consists of sustainable, trendy children's clothing from various brands, such as; Bobo Choses, Maed for Mini, Ammehoela and 1+ in the Family. Clothing is always good because a lot can get dirty. A nice party dress or trendy sneakers are things that parents might not have bought yet.
Extra tip: Did you know that a 1-year-old girl absolutely loves unwrapping gifts, so make it fun with lots of ribbons and shiny things!
To make wrapping even more fun, here are some more tips!
- Use wrapping paper that is easy to tear, that's fun!
- Wrap the paper around the gift a few times, they'll be busy for a while.
- Use colorful and shiny ribbons, so it's nice and festive.
- Be careful, children like to put things in their mouths, so they will certainly do this with gift wrapping.
Tokkelientje has another great tip for a gift for a 1-year-old. As a parent, you are bombarded with gifts, stuff, and trinkets for the kids. Parents always know best what is fun for the child, and what they don't have yet or are going to buy. This way, you always ensure that your gift doesn't end up in the trash!
Tokkelientje also has a physical store, but we also sell all toys, including wooden toys, online. Our store was born out of a passion for children's clothing and the lack of such a store for ourselves in the area. Tokkelientje has a unique assortment of baby, children's, and teen clothing, toys, books, or accessories. So be sure to visit us in the center of Leiden!
