Are there any traditional presents recommended for First birthdays or Christmas'?
My grandfather said a teddy bear for first birthday, but wondering if there was anything else? What did you get your children for their first Xmas and first bday present? Thanks in advance, and yup - I'm planning ahead! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

for both my babies first christmases, I got them a soft buzzy bee ball, they loved it
One thing I do , which you are welcome to use , is every year ,the night before their birthday , I write my kids a letter telling them all about their year that year . I will give it to them on their 21st birthdays  -------------

for Amelias first christmas a very special friend of mine ( she also happens to be a midwife and she deliverd amelia so shes even closer than anyone else iukwim lol ) bought amelia a wee silver baby bracelet , i just love it , its engraved too . For her first christmas i just bought her the standard toys ( a animal train that she plays with heaps now, an exersaucer that i have used HEAPS, and just other little toys , i didnt really do anything too special , she was only 5months old so wasnt aware of what was happening or anything .

Jaes godmother gave her a sterling silver bracelet with her name and D.O.B engraved on it, and for her first birthday we bought a musical jewellery box to put it in when its too small for her, along with other jewellery items we will collect over the years (she has a butterfly necklace from our first trip to butterfly creek, and a coin pendant from DPs first trip away from her!)
for xmas she was 6 months old, so we just got her some age approproate toys, and clothes. ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003
