What do you buy for a baby girl on her first birthday?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Whatever you buy, she’s unlikely to appreciate it…..so aim at pleasing the mother. Clothes (that are a little too big now) are good. So is a framed photo-collage with pics from the girls first year – perhaps even a small album with snaps from day 1–365. Otherwise, go practical, ask the parents what would be useful (bibs, shoes, blankets, etc.)
