Gifts for turning one

A first birthday is as much a day for the family as for the child, and the gifts that mean the most are often the ones that will still be around when they are older. A money box for birthday money, a clock with their name on the bedroom wall or a plate that is theirs at every meal all fit that.

The personalised gifts on this page are made to order with the name or message you choose, and each product page sets out exactly what can be added. Alongside them are a few toys from the main Nestoro range, chosen because their own guidance points to babies, toddlers or children who are starting to walk or stack.

Choosing a first birthday gift

Their own place at the table

By one, many children are joining in at the table with everyone else. The plates and bowls are made from drop-proof, BPA-free plastic, and the mugs from shatter-resistant, BPA-free plastic; hand washing is recommended for all of them. The placemats are fully laminated. One grandparent wrote, 'This is my 6th placemat that I have purchased for my grandchildren' (customer review).

For the bedroom wall and shelf

The wooden clocks carry the name in designs from a rocket in space to a London bus full of animals, and each takes one AA battery, which is not included. The money boxes are ready for birthday money, and most of the silver-finish ABC designs take lines of message engraved below the coin slot. The mantel blocks, wooden stars and hearts are small keepsakes to mark the year.

Toys from the main range

The pull-along duckling and turtle are for children who are walking confidently, and play with the pull cord should always be supervised. The Cotton and Company activity cubes have a different fabric on every side and bells inside, the Little Dutch ring stacker has a rocking base for a child who is starting to stack, and the Wigiwama Rainbow Playset gives a toddler three soft foam pieces to drag, stack and rearrange. For a bigger present, the ball pits are made for babies and toddlers too.

Check the age guidance

Some personalised items are made for older children, such as the plastic cutlery sets and the teddies, which are suitable from 36 months, so they are not on this page. Each product page states its own age guidance, and it is worth reading before you choose.

First Birthday Gifts: Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good first birthday gift?

Something that marks the year and will still be used or kept later on. A personalised plate, bowl or placemat gives them their own place at the table, a money box is ready for birthday money, and a clock with their name goes on the bedroom wall. If you would rather give a toy, the activity cubes on this page are made for babies, and the pull-along toys for children who are walking confidently.
Are these gifts suitable for a one-year-old?

Everything on this page has been chosen because its own guidance doesn't rule out a child of one, but the clocks, money boxes, night light and keepsakes are for the room rather than for play. The plastic cutlery sets and teddies are suitable from 36 months, so they are not included here. Each product page states its own age guidance, so please check it before you order.
What can I personalise on a first birthday gift?

Most of the plates, bowls, placemats and clocks take a name of up to 12 characters. Some of the mugs also carry a message on the back, and the ABC Money Box takes a name above the coin slot and three engraved lines below it. Some designs print the name in capitals and others exactly as you type it, and each product page explains which.
How long does a personalised first birthday gift take to arrive?

Each personalised gift is made to order and then sent by Royal Mail Tracked 24, so please allow 2 to 5 business days in total. Orders placed after midday, or at the weekend, start from the next working day. The toys from the main range show their own delivery time on each product page. If the birthday is close, order with a few days to spare.
Can I return a personalised first birthday gift?

Because the personalised gifts are made to order, they can't be returned for a change of mind. If one arrives faulty or damaged, or the personalisation isn't what you ordered, please get in touch and we'll put it right. The toys from the main range follow our standard returns terms. Our returns policy has the details for both.
