The Best Gifts for One Year Olds
Toys for tots who’ve reached their first big milestone.
Deena Campbell and Sarah Burns

What do you give a kid who’s new to the world? Of course, you could get a tricked-out toy sports car or a customized kitchen set (which is more money than your monthly groceries, by the way) and there’s always gift cards. But we know you don’t want to go out like that, so we crafted a few adorable favorites that are easy to pull off. From the chic-est teether to the coziest lovey, here are 10 of the best gifts for one year olds, all under $50.
CAMP Long Sleeve Babysuit
One year olds need onesies like they need fingers — they are great to have (especially for sucking and nibbling on), but too many can be a tad excessive. But there’s something about this super soft onesie that screams you can never have enough. (Hmm, could it be the word CAMP?) We love that it’s super soft and you can throw it in the washing machine many times and it never fades.
Hape DJ Mix & Spin Studio
Did someone say mini concert? Give the gift of music to any one year old looking to flex their DJ muscles. Kiddos will love the 18-key piano to develop hand-eye coordination (translation: they will obsess over banging on it) and the fun tempo slider makes changing the speed a breeze.

Darlyng & Co. Cute Animal Teething Mitten: Isabella the Unicorn
One year olds crave multi-sensory play, and this teething mitten checks all the boxes. It’s loaded with textures, patterns, and (soft) sounds to keep 12 month olds engaged. Attach it to a stroller, car seat, or carrier — or really anywhere you need the kid to stay stationary. And when it’s soaking wet from slobber, spot clean it with a damp cloth and gentle detergent.
Calisson Sophie The Giraffe So'Pure Teether

Canticos All the Colors De Colores Book
Sure you can give the gift of Spanish lessons, but wouldn’t it be cooler (and cheaper) to bring their favorite colors to life in a bilingual book that focuses on English and Spanish?

GUND Spunky Huggybuddy
The best time to introduce a stuffed animal or cuddly friend is at 12 months of age. Prior to that, blankets and loveys can be a bit of a safety issue.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Pounding Bench Toddler Toy
When you’re having a bad day, hitting things can pump up your feel-good endorphins, making you feel less frustrated and irritable. But that’s not exactly the best advice for a one year old. That said, this wooden pounding bench offers kids a hands-on, imaginative game of peekaboo while learning colors...and releasing that pent-up toddler energy.
Welcome to the Party
While this book has an emphasis on welcoming a newborn to the family, one can argue that the real party of life begins at the one-year mark. It’s a big milestone and definitely a cause for celebration. And as author Gabrielle Union puts it, “our shindig keeps going and will never, ever stop."
