2015 Christmas Gift Guide: Gifts For One-Year-Olds
Christmas is a fun time of year when you’re one. Lots of twinkling lights, baubles to pull on, parties to look cute at and presents to unwrap. At Babi Pur, we have everything you need to make Christmas extra special for the little toddler in your life. From festive cloth nappies, organic clothing and pram shoes to cute wooden toys and adorable dolls, it’s all here at Babi Pur. Here are our top ten gifts for one-year-olds at Christmas:
1) Tots Bots Easyfit v4 Festive Fling Nappy
The Tots Bots Easyfit v4 cotton and bamboo nappy comes in a fabulously festive design. This Christmas nappy shows a gingerbread man with a little gingerbread baby dashing through the snow on their sleigh, racing against a baby deer and a cute robin. This quick-drying, all-in-one cloth nappy comes in an economical birth-to-potty size so it can be worn by younger babies as well as your one-year-old. This fun festive print is perfect for showing off at Christmas but will look great year-round too.
These gorgeous, soft leather baby shoes are made in Wales by Inch Blue. We love the fab robin and penguin designs – they’re the perfect accessory to a Christmas outfit and make a fab present for a new baby or one-year-old. These pram shoes are the next best thing to bare feet and are great for toddlers taking their first steps. The soft leather won’t restrict growing toes, they’re super comfy and will help tots grip on tiled and wooden floors. See our full range of designs here. They fit from birth to two years – we only wish they came in adult’s sizes too!
Everyone needs a Christmas outfit and they don’t come much cuter than this top by Frugi. This bright red long-sleeved top has a seasonal star print and an adorable penguin applique on the front, complete with furry tummy. This unisex design will look great on any baby this Christmas.

As gifts for one-year-olds go, they don’t get much better than this fab Fire set by Grimm’s Toys. The possibilities for creative play are endless with this gorgeous wooden cluster of flames: balance the pieces one on top of the other to build amazing sculptures; make tunnels for toy cars; or combine with play blocks to build a rainbow city. This toy has been carved from a single piece of lime wood and naturally stained using non-toxic, water-based colour. This natural finish allows the grain of the wood to shine through and ensures that these fiery blocks are safe for little ones. Children aged from 12 months will enjoy stacking, sorting and building with this set for years to come and it will brighten up any mantelpiece when it is eventually outgrown.
A pull along toy makes a great present for a toddler who is taking their first steps and this little chick is one of the cutest gifts for one-year-olds you’ll see this Christmas. The little chick’s head bobs up and down to peck at the ground as he is pulled along and is sure to be a hit with any toddler. This chick is made from solid lime wood and finished with a water-based stain which allows the grain of the wood to show through. See our full range of gorgeous Grimm’s toys here.
7) Le Toy Van Petilou Tree Top Stacker
This stacking ring tree, topped with a little bird, is a gorgeous educational toy and is perfect for leaving under the Christmas tree. Children aged 18 months and up will have great fun assembling the painted wooden tree, and of course taking it apart again – all of which encourages hand-to-eye co-ordination and dexterity. This 18cm tree has been painted with water-based safe paints, retaining the natural look and feel of wood. Why not pair it up with another toy from the Le Toy Van Petilou range? They all make brilliant gifts for one-year-olds!
Every toddler needs a walker and this one is of an amazing high quality. It is made from solid wood, is beautifully finished and incredibly sturdy. It comes with a storage space for toys at the back and a seat for a favourite teddy – or even a sibling or playmate! The wheel spin can be adjusted to give confidence to early walkers and the silicone wheel threads enable it to be used indoors as well as outside. Haba walkers make great Christmas gifts for one-year-olds and this one will look gorgeous under the tree with a ribbon tied around it. Check out our full range of fun baby walkers at Babi Pur.
There’s a doll to suit every little boy and girl at Babi Pur and we love this cheeky little chap. He has blonde hair, blue eyes and beautifully colourful clothes – check out his snazzy shirt and cute dungarees. He’ll make a great playmate for a child this Christmas. Lanka Kade dolls are all handmade in Sri Lanka with traditionally woven, fair trade cotton fabrics and amazing colours. Whether you’re looking for a boy doll or a girl doll, or one with brown, red, blonde or black hair, light skin or dark skin, there’s sure to be one on our shelves to suit your child.
