...Originally we were going to get him a toy box, but his grandpa is making one instead. He already has pull/ride on toys. We bought him some clothes, but looking for a BIG gift idea. Thinking of buying another savings bond, but we buy him those every 6 months, so another wouldn't seem that spectacular. Anyone have any other ideas?

"Hi! Our son just turned one on Sept. 14th. We got him Big Knob puzzles, books, clothes, etc. But his 'big gift' was one of those Kangaroo climbers (Made by Step2). He just loves it! He is just a bit short to get himself up onto the platform by himself, so we put a non-slip footstool underneath. Now he can climb up by himself. He can't get enough of it!! Another idea to consider is the SwingAlong Castle (Made by Little Tikes). We thought about this one, but our son already had a swing. So we went with the other one. They can play with both of these until they are about 4. So they both would get a lot of use. Both can be used indoors or out. We have our son's indoors now since it is getting cold outside. We put an interlocking foam play-mat underneath, so he has a soft landing when he slides. I included two links so you can see what both items look like. I hope this helps. Enjoy your son. It's such a wonderful time and it goes so fast!"
