Whoops sorry, yes its for a gift. x

She's too young to appreciate the event. Dress her in finery and photograph her blowing out 1 pretty candle set in an individual luxury cake.

Respect her privacy and dont mock the event to embarrass her in later life.

Oh, a gift.....as much as you can afford in premium bonds for her.

something for the future perhaps? Premium bonds or money in her child trust fund?

I bought a friends child a silver charm bracelet with a few charms on it and will add a charm each year from now on.

I bought from this ebay seller, he fitted all the charms on my chosen bracelet and i had delivery within 3 days too. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/The-Charm-Works

What about something like this:

or a collectable doll or bear with her name - e.g. Did a search for Sophie as an example:

for my brothers 1st birthday I got him a big teddy that he could lie on and everything. and I got him wrapping paper with my picture on from jessops so he can tell who its from.

May be more for the parents, but I'm getting, for my 1st ever granddaughter an imprint of her fingerprint modelled in silver and can be made into a key fob, charm, tag or cufflinks.
