Gift Idea for Everyone

The first birthday is one of the most enjoyable birthdays to shop for. The only downside; most gifts will be outgrown. So when looking for the just the right gift for that little someone, look for gifts that will grow with the child or keepsakes that will be remembered for a lifetime.

Savings Bond: First birthdays can be difficult to shop for. Make your choice easy by giving them a gift that will benefit them financially when they mature. Buying a U.S. savings bond is safe, secure and guaranteed. You can buy Series EE and/or Series I savings bonds through most local banks. They should have gift envelopes that you can give to your recipient to let them know a bond has been ordered for them.

Wagon Full of Fun Gift Basket: Take an ordinary wagon and fill it with fun! This will be a hit with parents and the wagon will last until the child is well into his elementary years - especially if you opt for a Radio Flyer. Load it up with colorful toys and educational games that the child can enjoy immediately.

Photo Stamp: Photo stamps are an exciting new product that lets you take ordinary photographs and turn them into real (and valid) U.S. postage stamps! Mom and dad will delight over their little girl or little boy’s face on a national hallmark. A nice added touch is to frame the stamps in a quality sterling silver frame.

Pewter Birthday Candle Holders: Birthday candle holders are a keepsake that can be used over and over again and be passed along from generation to generation. They are a truly unique gift that will be treasured for years.

Classic Paddington Bear: Born in 1956 in London, England, the beloved Paddington Bear has long been a childhood favorite. Keep tradition alive with the gift of an original Paddington Bear collectible. Venture online or to your favorite gift store to find one of these all too rare lovable bears!

First birthdays are usually grand affairs. They are a milestone in a family and a magical time for baby, as he or she begins to take their first strides into official toddlerhood. There a ton of items that you can give on this eventful day, but choosing one that lasts beyond the next birthday is one that will mean the most to baby and his or her parents.
