Best $30 first bday gift

[Kindra178]

Heading to a first birthday party for a cousin. The stuff I like to give is too expensive.

LOL - I want to get our DS the busy ball popper on sale at Target for $17.99.

DD3 turns 1 in July. We're buying her a water table! Twilight turtle is another good gift idea.

The fisher price walker stroller is great. Little people toys, the house or the garage, are just a little more than that. A few Thomas trains or a starter set can be had for about that amount. They may be a little advanced but the child will be there in no time.

Great idea! Ours is still in use, 5.5 years after we got it. We have the original model that lets everything, including arms get stuck in it :).

I love these little ABC Block books for a first birthday - only $16 though. Maybe a nice kid's music cd to go with?

Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Puppy - it was DD's favorite 1st birthday gift & she still giggles when she sees it. It's usually between $20 - $25.

Another blocks suggestion: some Uncle Goose ones.
