My Nana (Granny) - used to care for ALL the grandkids for the whole summer. And she did not buy the NAME BRAND soda- (ex. Pepsi ) because we drink it up too fast.

Anyone getting a sentimental gift for their baby's first birthday? Or willing to share ideas? We've already got my boy a trike, and plan to get some garden and montessori toys and soft play etc.. But I like the idea of getting something as a keepsake too🤔

Christening Gifts

A family member is getting christened soon, he'll be 16 months (our little boy is 20 months so we're close with them, having little ones so close in age). Looking for ideas on a nice gift for this age? I'd like to avoid your typical engraved cups etc as I think they'll get a lot of those things. Thanks!
