Do you have a bead frame?

With DS1 we got him a activity table, bead frame(a big one) this toy has been played with by all 3 boys & still is, 8yrs later.

DS2, was a ride on & push toys.

DS3 got a Playskool tent, very cool.

It is easy with your first but when you get to your 3rd you really have to think, still do,lol.

We too have that bus, the kids love it, ]]> Sat, 22 Aug 2009 22:01:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=754412&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#754412 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=754401&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#754401 Author: chonny

Not a boy gift but for those of you who have little girls have you considered strating a pandora braclet or simialr and then giving it to her when she is older say at her 16th birthday. It could be quite a special gift.]]> Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:56:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=747286&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#747286 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=747280&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#747280 Author: Maya

It sounds silly, but Chiara's absolute favourite present that she got for her birthday is a mini magna doodle/drawing board thing, she is absolutely obsessed with it and drags it round the house with her, and coz it's little, it's easy for her to handle.]]> Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:51:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=747280&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#747280 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=747052&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#747052 Author: kiwikid

Oh dear, we have that wheels on the bus toy (xmas present from grandma) and it drives me crazy! The demo mode on it is good though (so it doesn't play the entire song!).

For something different, how about a goldfish in a small bowl? They are pretty low maintenance and toddlers love fish. ]]> Thu, 13 Aug 2009 09:09:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=746046&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#746046 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=745906&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#745906 Author: TansP

Wheels on the bus is Jayes favourite toy to play with at his Nans house!!
We will probably get Jaye some books for his first birthday. DF also wants to get him a truck or something like that because he loves anything with wheels at the moment. Will also get him some new clothes as the rest of the family are almost certain to get him toys!
His Nan wants to get him some musical instruments ]]> Wed, 12 Aug 2009 22:12:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=745906&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#745906 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=745553&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#745553 Author: Bizzy

Rowan got this from my IL's and she 's it.
It gets played with all the time and all the CG babies play with it too. And the big brothers and sisters play with it as well so I'd say it will hold its value for years yet.

You can get it at K-mart which is probably cheaper than the site I linked to.

The best thing is that they can still play with it in 'off' mode so you don't have to listen to the song all the time.]]> Wed, 12 Aug 2009 16:52:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=745535&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#745535 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=745518&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#745518 Author: Bizzy

Hi ladies, I am having terrible difficulty deciding what to get David for his birthday in October! We have a fair few smallish toys because of his big brother but really unsure what to get him.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We already have about 3 ride on bikes.]]> Wed, 12 Aug 2009 16:30:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28053&PID=745504&title=1st-birthday-present-ideas#745504
