    Hi,

    This is very much new territory for me, I've been looking for a thoughtful gift for my girlfriend of a few months' baby.

    He is one this weekend and i've been wracking my brain to think of something.

    Obviously I don't want to show up his dad in any form, or unexpectedly show up with a hamper of toys. I'd just like some ideas that his family would see as not over the top and but without seeming I put in no effort.

    Genuinely want to make a nice impression.

    thanks,

    I suppose a dress/top from a nice shop would do the job.

    Yes, I know.

    I was suggesting you buy him clothes.
    The dress part was because I wasn't sure if boy or girl

    Frame a nice photo of your girlfriend with her baby? Or you could do a collage of photos of the two of them.

    The baby would appreciate something a bit more fun though I'd say. Set your budget and head into a toy shop, something to encourage walking if he's not walking yet.

    You could get him a trike or a ride on, they are not overly expensive
