suggestions for a present for a 1yr old?

i also think that 1 yr is too small for them to understand a birthday present.
I wanted to do the jungle gym thing as well....decided to wait until she is 18 months.

Were getting a jungle gym for James. At 1 he won't understand a birthday yet, but it's something he'll get lots of use out in the years to come( at the moment probably only the swing part will get used).
I dont believe kids need lots of toys. Outdoors, some books, water, sand, building blocks and loads of love:) To date the only thing I have bought for James is books!(oh and once a teddy and a baby doll)
When I go to other kids bday parties I usually do a book or a puzzle depending on the age.

Any good ideas for birthdays presents for a 1yr old? He has the sandpit shell thingie.

Thanks!
