What did you get your child for their first birthday?

Its nearly baby boo's first birthday and from seeing what her friends mums' have bought their children I think we may be being a bit tight. Its not that we wouldn't give her the world if we could but she's only one and her birthday will surely pass her by like any other day!  

For example one of her friends had an expensive Trike, a plastic car and a trampoline. Which is fine but surely a bit too much? The other thing is where would you put it all when they get bored and want the next thing! 

So what have we got? Well we went to a well known toy shop with vouchers in hand and spent £20 on a basic trike that will fold up so we can put it in the buggy. We gave her a quick try and she seemed to like it so fingers crossed it'll be a hit!.... Also it should last her until she's 3 so bargain!

Don't get me wrong I can't wait for the birthday and celebrations, trying to figure out what cake to make etc etc, but I just don't think she needs that much so young.

  1. We took our Princess to a zoo for her birthday then to Toys R Us on the way back (when half tired from the zoo . . .) to pick out anything she wanted, this ended up being a doll and buggy to push it in.
