Seriously, I have been through it all. You name it, I've been there, done that, seen those things... I've always been told I'm a good listener, and have always been told I'm a great friend who gives amazing advice. I don't know how true that is, I mean after all, I'm no doctor or therapist. But I am caring, and I do want to help. Maybe that's all that really matters. But most importantly: I will not judge you! You are my equal here!

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. - Deuteronomy 31:6

My brother's girlfriend invited me to a birthday party for her son, he will be 1. I'm not sure what kind of things to get a 1 year old. He just started walking, and he isn't much interested in his baby toys any more, but I don't think 1 is old enough to appreciate older kid toys like action figures and such. Maybe I'm thinking too hard about it but I don't want to show up with nothing.

I don't have kids and haven't had to buy gifts for younger kids so I just need some ideas! (link)
I have a three year old, and my favorite kids of things for her to get are educational toys, that are of course for her age. When you go to the store, look on the toy tags/boxes, they'll be labeled to say what ages they are for. So just get something that says 1+ or 12 mo+.

You could always ask her what kinds of things he's into. You'd be surprised at how young kids can start liking Blues Clues and other media related things that have toys and videos and such. You can also never go wrong with bubbles, and even bath toys like bath crayons or bath water color changers or bath foam soap (which I don't actually bathe my daughter with, but it's fun for her to play with in the tub - making bath time fun is important.)

Good luck finding something and God bless!

Thank you, I didn't know toys have age ratings on them. That will help!
