A baby\u2019s first birthday party is an important milestone, even if the guest of honor needs a nap halfway through the celebration. A new person has lived on this planet for a whole year! if that isn\u2019t worth celebrating, what is?<\/p>\n

Chances are, the little one won\u2019t know why the day is special, only that everyone\u2019s paying attention to her. Often the party is more significant to parents and older siblings, who understand how important the moment is.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, the best gifts for baby\u2019s first birthday are those which are unique\u2014keepsakes the family will use to remember this special day forever. Here are some great ideas for that all-important first birthday present.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Personalized Baby Books<\/h2>\n

Some of the best gifts for baby\u2019s first birthday, customized baby books not only make great keepsakes, they\u2019re perfect for story time. By a first birthday, a child can identify her own name and picture, and loves hearing her name read out loud.<\/p>\n

Beautifully illustrated, the award-winning My Very Own Name<\/a> customized book has a parade of animals spell out the child\u2019s first and last name. Or introduce the little one to the alphabet with ABC What I Can Be<\/a>, which shows the many careers the little one can be, from astronaut to zookeeper.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Growth Charts and Placemats<\/h2>\n

The little birthday boy or girl is going to grow with every passing year, so why not help chart that growth with a personalized growth chart<\/a>? Emblazoned with the child\u2019s name and bright, colorful illustrations, growth charts make a great accessory to any youngster\u2019s room, and chart the first 42-inches of a child\u2019s growth without marking up the walls.<\/p>\n

At a year old, the little one\u2019s probably still a messy eater. A personalized placemat<\/a> helps catch some of the mess while providing the child with a colorful and fun mat to focus on. That same mat exposes the child to the letters of his name with every meal, helping him learn to recognize those letters\u2014an important pre-reading skill.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sibling Gifts<\/h2>\n

Sometimes the best gifts for baby\u2019s first birthday are rewards for older siblings. The first year of life as a big brother or sister is exciting, but also a little unnerving. The new baby seems to eat parent attention, and older kids may be asked to take on new responsibilities. Use the birthday party to show you appreciate an older sibling\u2019s efforts. A set of personalized stickers or customized coloring books are a nice gesture. A personalized book such as The Super, Incredible Big Sister<\/a> or Big Brother<\/a> is another thoughtful gift that rewards the older sibling. Don\u2019t worry about the birthday boy or girl getting jealous\u2014chances are he or she\u2019s going to need a nap anyway!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
