This is so sweet! 1yr olds literally care nothing about their first birthday or the gifts they will get! I think I got my nieces more clothes and shoes for their 1st but I also encouraged their parents to open a 529 so they can start receiving monetary investments that will make such a big difference for them long term.
You caring this much is really the best gift. You both deserve the world 💕

If you want to splurge/do an ongoing gift, the Panda Crate (baby division of KiwiCo) is great. My son has been getting them since his first birthday, and he’s almost 3 now. Every couple months they send a new box with age appropriate toys, and the quality is amazing. You can also do a single box vs a subscription if you don’t want to spend so much

Baby friendly photo album. A lot of them love looking at pictures of family members.

The baby doesn’t realize it’s their bday nor care about gifts at that age - they’ll likely prefer the wrapping paper to anything you get them 😂 I’d suggest getting a small gift for the baby (you can ask the parents what they don’t have / would like) but spoiling the parents (especially the mom if she is the one who gave birth and/or breastfed and/or spent more time with the baby!) with something that will make them happy. The first year with a baby is an absolute roller coaster (physically, mentally, in every area of your life) and the first birthday should truly be more of a milestone for the parents, in my humble opinion ☺️

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.
