I've found the posts about birthday ideas so helpful for deciding what to get my daughter/what to ask grandparents for. The first birthday of baby from my NCT class is coming up and we've been invited to her party. Any recommendations for small gifts around £10? I was thinking maybe a book but not sure which one!

We took my son to Smyths the other day and he asked for a doll and a pram. We bought him one but got very strange looks from a couple of other people in the shop as he's happily whizzing around with his new favourite toys 🤣
