Ultimate List Of the Best Gifts For a 1-Year-Old Boy

Get ready to get the giggles rolling with the RollAgain Tower. This toy encourages fine motor skills, spatial reasoning, cause and effect, and psychomotor skills, making it perfect for any one-year-old. You can't help but want to keep playing as you watch the balls roll down the track. This simple, yet colorful toy is sure to provide tons of fun for your little one.

If your one-year-old isn't on the move yet, they likely will be soon! Protect your little one's feet with pediped shoes. These shoes feature memory foam technology as well as G2 Technology.

G2 Technology™ is specially designed for children transitioning from early walking to walking with a more confident stride. G2 Technology™ includes a soft rubber sole, rounded edges that mimic the natural shape of a child’s foot, heel stability, and a soft toe box that allows toes to curl and grip the floor.

Whether you have always loved to put shoes on your little boy or find this as a new accessory, pediped shoes are a favorite for all kids!

If you want your one-year-old to stay warm and cozy all night, then check out the ergoPouch sleepsuit. It is like a sleeping bag, but with legs. The suit is perfect for little walkers, kids who do karate in their dreams or sleep like a starfish. We all know little ones never stay covered with a blanket (if it is even a safe option) so this is the perfect solution for those colder nights.

The ergoPouch sleep suit bags come in multiple sizes and colors, as well as a variety of warmth levels so that you are able to find the perfect one for your little one no matter the season.

Toddlers love water! But we all know that open water and little ones can be dangerous. Check out this awesome baby float from Marley The Baby.

This non-inflatable float never needs to be inflated so there is no risk of popping! It also features an anti flip system. The chest straps hold your baby in place while they enjoy the day on the water. It can be used either while laying on the back or chest for comfortability. Suitable for kids 3-36 months weighing up to 44lbs.

Celebrate your little one's birthday from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed with the babo botanicals birthday bubbles! It actually smells like a birthday cake!

Made with organic and natural ingredients to soothe the skin, it features organic chamomile, calendula, and aloe vera that comforts and moisturizes the skin. The big bubbles are gentle on sensitive skin and eczema. It's gently formulated for very sensitive skin and vegan friendly.​

It's so much fun to get up and move with this musical Learn & Groove Dancing Panda! Watch the Panda shake, dance, and spin around to the music.

The LED screen on his guitar lights up with different shapes, letters, and numbers and offers four play modes. Kids can play Freeze Dance as well as other games while they explore the learning content.

Press the musical instrument buttons on Panda's light-up shoes to hear a saxophone, trumpet, drum, and guitar. Toggle the bridge switch to scroll through numbers 1-10 and letters A-Z, while the whammy-bar music button on the Panda's guitar selects dozens of different tunes, including songs about numbers, shapes, letters, and musical instruments.

This portable chair is a must-have for any 1 year old, or toddler, or baby for that matter. My son is turning 1 in July. Although I was hoping our summer would be filled with parades and days at the pool, that might not be happening in Minnesota. However, that means more time at the campground for us.

Travel with ease using the Baby Delight Go With Me Chair. The 5-point removable harness makes your baby secure and comfortable as they sit upright in the seat. As the baby grows the seat can un-velcro to reveal two leg holes perfect for letting baby stand with support.

The chair can then be used through toddler and big-kid ages (up to 75 pounds) either with or without the snack tray. Indoor/outdoor polyester along with the included sun canopy makes this the perfect chair to carry with you for use outdoors, or anywhere indoors.

I love open-ended toys for my son, especially toys that can change and grow as he develops. The Bella Luna Wooden Stacking Rainbow is a beautiful Waldorf inspired toy that will bring beauty and fun to any playroom. This is often seen as a staple toy to many parents (and schools) that follow the Waldorf lifestyle. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to engage with this toy. Just let your child use their imagination.

One-year-olds are at the fun age where they want to go, go go, but still NEED to take those oh so important naps! The Baby Delight Go With Me™ Nod Deluxe Portable Travel Crib was created to give your little one a safe and stylish place to sleep at home and on the go.

The Nod can be assembled in seconds with no tools needed! A plush mattress gives your baby a comfortable place to sleep while the mesh walls are ideal for air flow and visibility. The zipper door allows you to lay next to your little one and comfort him/her when needed. When messes happen (because they do!), the fabric is fully removable and can be machine washed. When it’s time to travel or store the Nod away, simply click two buttons to fold it compactly and put it into the included travel bag.

Give your one-year-old (and yourself) some much-needed rest with the Nod travel crib.

Books are a must-have gift at any age. Why not think outside the classic book box and look at Baby University books? They are written by a science expert, Chris Ferrie, and are perfectly tailored for little scientists. They feature colorful, simple introductions to scientific and other STEM principles.

My son's favorite Baby University book is called 8 Little Planets. You can find it on Amazon. Make sure you check out all of Chris Ferrie's books. You won't be disappointed.

Birthdays are a great time of year to gift your child some new clothing! Make sure to add finn + emma to the birthday wish list. My favorites are the boy's henley shirts and graphic onesies. If you love boutique style clothing like I do, you will love finn + emma.

They have tons of sizes, styles, and patterns to chose from. You will love their selection of high-quality clothing and gender-neutral selection.

The Twist and Spin Lion by VTech offers a new spin on tabletop play. Featuring fun twirling action, textures, colors, and sounds, kids love this fun little lion.

Motion sensors trigger sound effects and a gently flashing light when your child spins the hoop. Batting at the lion or grabbing the individual beads on the hoop also helps develop fine-motor skills.

Press the button on top of the lion's mane to play songs, melodies, and phrases. Twist the lion on its base to hear clicking sound effects, then spin the hoop 360 and watch the beads spin and slide.

This rattle stays in place using a suction cup so it doesn't shake and move off the high chair or table. Twist, spin, and rattle this lion, and he'll stay on his toes and off the floor!

Want a gift that serves multiple purposes? One that will make both you and your little one happy? Check out Peejamas. I know what you might be thinking- my one year old still wears diapers to bed. Well, mine does, too! Yet he soaks through his nighttime diapers more nights than he stays dry.

We were so excited when we found Peejamas. Whether you want them for now, or in the future, you really can't go wrong. Peejamas are actually highly absorbant pajamas that can be used for those leaky nighttime diapers or as your child is learning to potty train.

It sometimes seems like kids change so quickly these first years that it can be hard to always find a gift that will be appropriate for more than a few months. Well, that isn't the case with Lumipets!

My niece and son both love their Lumipets. This portable nightlight is soft and squishy, making it perfect for small hands to carry around from room to room. It never gets hot, so it can be left on all night. Plus, it can easily be controlled with the remote so parents dont need to be too close to adjust it.

This is really a 2-in-1 product since it is both a nightlight and a night time companion. My son likes to cuddle his Lumipet in the evening while I read his bedtime story. They have several different animals to choose from so you are sure to find your child's favorite.

Let me introduce you to the best high chair- the Abiie Beyond Wooden High Chair. This is the perfect high chair for a growing child because it easily transforms to any height position to use as a toddler's chair or as a traditional dining chair for all ages, all within less than 20 seconds!

The sleek wooden design makes it easy to clean. The cushion seat and backrest add extra comfort and the fact that it can be used from 6 months up to adulthood makes it a great investment at an affordable price point. You really can't go wrong with this wooden high chair from Abiie.

Hi, I’m Cory, Cory Carson, and I can’t wait to make new friends!

You’re going to love going on adventures with me in Bumperton Hills just like in my original series, Go! Go! Cory Carson! We’ll have so much fun together.

Just press Cory's light-up windshield button to hear him talk. He can tell you about the color orange and play four sing-along songs and six melodies. Press the action button on his side to flash his headlights and hear fun sounds or roll him along for more phrases, sound effects, and music.

Place Cory on a SmartPoint location on Go! Go! Cory Carson playsets to discover even more phrases, songs, and sounds!

One-year-olds are messy, but their bib doesn't have to be. The Ruby Wrapp silicone bib rolls up to contain the mess when on the go or while at home. You can even store your little one's used utensils inside the bib pouch when traveling. The comfortable and sleek design can be enjoyed by you and your baby.

My son loves that he can dig fallen food out of the pouch to try again. I love that the mess isn't all over his lap! This really is a win-win for both of us.

Turning one means bye-bye bottle and hello big kid cup. Keep your little one hydrated with this CamelBak kids water bottle.

This insulated water bottle keeps their water colder, longer! Eddy+ Kids vacuum insulated stainless steel water bottle is durable, spill-proof when open, and leak-proof when closed. Easy to use, no tipping – just flip, bite, and sip. Easy to clean and BPA, BPS, and BPF free. 

Check out their full line of water bottles to find a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes.

I am super excited to gift my son a piklar triangle for his first birthday. A very popular item amongst Montessori families, this is a must-have item for sure! Give your 1-year-old the gift of endless open-ended play with the Homi Piklar Climbing Triangle. Toddlers love to crawl, climb, and just have fun.

This is a great gift for any child who is starting to move and explore their body independently. The great part is that is can be enjoyed for years. Whether your little one wants to climb over it or camp underneath it, there is no right or wrong way to play with a Homi Piklar triangle/

Julbo makes the world's most popular sunglasses for babies. They have a paint-free, hingeless construction. These sunglasses are designed with no up or down right/wrong way so they are easy to wear and always comfortable.

Designed with a rounded, wraparound shape, they offer perfect protection thanks to total coverage and high-quality SPECTRON 4 lenses. The sunglasses are made from hypoallergenic and paint free materials. With LOOP M, JULBO has designed sunglasses that protect the eyes of toddlers and a frame that they love to wear!

What one-year-old boy doesn't want his very own dump truck? One of my son's first words was "vroom vroom"! Green Toys Dump Truck is made from 100% recycled plastic milk containers. This really is the most energy-efficient vehicle on this or any other planet. 

Whether they are playing outside in the sandbox, or inside with their toys, this is a must-have vehicle for any 1-year-old's wish list. Plus, it comes in several fun colors!

Did you know that according to the American Academy of Pediatrics you should start brushing your little one's teeth as soon as they have their first tooth?! It is recommended to start seeing a dentist by their first birthday too.

If you haven't already, now is the perfect time to get your little one a MAM toothbrush. We love this toothbrush because it has an extra-long handle so both my son and I can hold the handle while brushing. It also has a guard to ensure your child doesn't push the brush too far into their mouth. The red on the bristles also shows you how much toothpaste to use. This MAM toothbrush is the perfect first toothbrush for your one-year-old!

Welcome to toddlerhood. When our babies start to want to do everything they see their parents do. Let your one-year-old boy help with the yard work with their very own watering can and garden tools.

The Green Toys™ Watering Can is a classic set that encourages kids to help take care of the world around them. Made in the USA from 100% recycled plastic milk jugs, the Green Toys Watering Can feature an easy-to-pour spout and cotton rope carrying handle, making it frustration-free for little gardeners. The set, which includes a rake and shovel, is great for spending time together outside, and kids will love helping and playing alongside the grownups to watch their garden grow. And...it's even fun in the tub!

Give your little boy a two in one gift. This adorable weighted stuffed animal is not only a cuddly friend but the fact that it weighs three pounds offers significant benefits as well.

The Sensory Goods weighted stuffed animal helps calm children down, helps them sleep soundly, and provides constant sensory stimulation to the holder. Plus, weighted stuffed animals are adorable and tons of fun! If you have ever heard of or tried the benefits of a weighted blanket for adults, be sure to check out the weighted options for kids from Sensory Goods.

If your soon to be one year old hasn't started eating table food yet, they probably will be soon! What a fun way to make mealtime a little more smiley with the ezpz Mini Mat.

The Mini Mat is ezpz's top-selling product, and it is a great mealtime solution for little ones while at home and during travel. The Mini Mat is an all-in-one placemat + plate that suctions to the table. The mat’s stable base reduces tipped bowls/plates and helps infants and toddlers learn to self-feed.

Check out all the mealtime fun products on their website for all of your little one's mealtime needs. (Trust me, we have tried several brands and ezpz is by far the best!)

Give your one-year-old a sense of independence with the Dreambaby® 2-Up Step Stool. This step stool will come in handy in just about any room of the house that things are still just a bit too high. The Step Stool is perfect to help reach the sink, kitchen counters, and many other places. It's easy to clean and can be wiped down with a warm washcloth.

Your toddler will love feeling more independent and you will love the freedom and excitement of watching your little one learn to do things for themselves.

Toddlers love to play outside and we should love their time outdoors as well. We just need to make sure they are protected from the sun.

Green Sprouts makes sun wear that is breathable and SPF 50. They also have a whole line of swimwear that is SPF protected, as well as hats, sunglasses, water shoes, and just about everything your little one could need for a day of fun out in the sun.

As your baby gets bigger, so do their messes! That's why Dreambaby® made the Character Toddler Bibs with Sleeves. When a regular bib doesn't cut it anymore, it's time to expand to one with sleeves.

These bibs feature full-length sleeves that will help keep your toddler clean from wrist to shoulder no matter how messy the meal. They cover the whole front of their shirt as well, which means less laundry for you. Each style features a convenient crumb pocket that catches the foods that miss the mouth, saving your toddler's pants and your floor from an additional mess.

We have some for mealtime and some for craft time at our house! No mess is too messy for the Dreambaby® toddler bib!

Check out Wallaroo Hats! They are both fun and functional for your little one. This Microfiber Platypus hat is water-resistant and quick drying. In other words, it is basically toddler-proof! Plus, it has UPF 50+ fabric which blocks 97.5% of ultraviolet rays.

They have lots of styles and colors, plus, it is easy to search for hats based on your child's age to make sure you find the right one. Check them out!

I love specialized gifts that are just perfect for the recipient. The Fat Brain Toys Personalized Name Puzzle is the perfect gift for your one-year-old boy. It is a gift that you can work on together and eventually they will learn to do independently. A gift that is just for them and something they can cherish for years. 

Fat Brain Toys can make any name with any specific spelling, up to 9 characters. 

At 10 months old, my son decided that he was done with being spoon-fed purees and wanted to try self-feeding. This worked okay for finger foods, but everything else was a complete mess! Until we found the Dreambaby® Pouch Pal®. This is true testimony right here. The pouches of baby food work okay, but putting them into the Dreambaby® Pouch Pal® makes mealtime a dream.

Dreambaby® Pouch Pal® will let your toddlers enjoy food and discover learning how to eat it without the mess. These are perfect for using on the go or at home to prevent squeezy messes. The comfortable size is perfect for little hands and fits most food pouches, plus it is dishwasher safe.

I don't know about you, but my one-year-old is on the move! Nothing seems to slow him down, except for the Dreambaby® Ava Security Gate.

This gate is the perfect balance of convenience, security, and safety, giving you peace of mind without sacrificing style. It is perfect for parents whose hands are full because it is able to be opened with one hand, yet the dual locks help prevent toddlers from opening the gate on their own. With the family constantly going back and forth, Dreambaby® designed the Ava Security gate to do the same. It opens in either direction for fluidity and handiness while on the move.

Bath Time is just a cleaner version of playtime at our house. These floating penguins are an adorable way for your little one to have fun during bathtime. 

Stack them, float them, or send them down the slide! No matter how they play, one-year-olds will love this interactive bath toy both now and in the future.

Check out this 3-in-1 potty from Bumbo. It starts off as a standalone potty with an easy to clean pot. Then, when your child is ready, they can graduate to the adult toilet with the Bumbo Soft Seat. Lastly, it turns into a step stool to use to reach the toilet, sink, or anywhere a step stool is needed.

Who else is excited to say bye-bye to diapers and hello to potty training? The Bumbo Step 'n Potty is available in multiple colors from the Bumbo brand you know and trust.

We at the Thrifty Nifty Mommy Blog LOVE our biking accessories from Burley! My son has been loving his Cub X bike trailer this summer, but I know he will be ready to ride the MyKick Balance Bike before we know it.

The Burley MyKick Balance Bike is the perfect way to introduce your little one to the biking world! With comfortable rubber grips, rubber, long-lasting, flat-free tires, and an adjustable seat and handlebars, this balance bike is perfect to accommodate the needs of growing children.

The BOB is a user-friendly helmet that kids - and parents - love. One size fits all means that it will fit for longer as your child grows, and it’s shaped to be comfortable for use with a child seat.

So, whether your child is riding safely in the back on your Burley Cub X bike trailer or cruising on their own two wheels on their Burley balance bike, this helmet will be the perfect fit.

UNiPLAY Soft Blocks are the perfect first set of building blocks for your toddler. They are made with a soft, flexible material, plus they are easy to play with and safe. UNiPLAY allows your little one to both learn and play at the same time.

One-year-old boys love to run wild, but sometimes we need to keep them close and safe. The Huggs Abiie carrier is perfect because it is so versatile. This carrier can be used front-inward, front-outward, back carry, and as a hip carrier. It also carriers toddlers up to 45 pounds!

You will love that it is lightweight, yet rugged, and has been designed to deliver the very best ergonomics in every carrying mode, for both the parent and child.

We are in love with our True Growth Tot Tower. This is a must-have for every household with toddlers.
