Games, toys, and stories to nurture their love of learning.
Watching a 1-year-old grow and develop is nothing short of magical. Every day, their unique personality and quirks become more apparent, revealing the little person they’ve always been, just waiting to shine. From learning to say “mama” to mastering the art of escape from their crib, they’re constantly surprising us with their new skills. Yet, one thing they haven’t quite mastered—and won’t for some time—is telling us what gifts they want. It’s understandable; learning to communicate is no easy task! But it does pose a challenge for those of us eager to shower them with presents. After all, who doesn’t want to spoil a beloved little one?
To make things easier, we’ve put together a list of the best gifts for 1-year-olds. This collection includes timeless classics and award-winning contemporary favorites, all chosen with care. We’ve ensured that each gift checks all the important boxes: educational, durable, and, most importantly, capable of providing hours (or even years) of joy. While your little one might not yet be able to tell you what they want, we’re confident they’ll love these gift picks!
