| I need a "big" gift for a one year old girl. Looking to spend a few hundred dollars. Ideally one or two nice things instead of lots of toys. Are toy kitchens too old for a one year old? other ideas? |

| Deluxe play kitchen, or one of those indoor playsets with a slide. |

| Find a really big box. |

| Think of it like what do you want to own? What big item do you want in your play space/living room/yard? |

The best “big” gift we got our kid for his first birthday was the Cozy Coupe car. Loved that thing. And it’s about $60.
(You don’t need to spend a lot of money on a one year old.) |

A remote, set of keys, or my toothbrush is what my 1YO seemed to enjoy most.
For a “big” gift what about a bounce house? |

| None, college fund. A few small gifts are plenty. |

| A play kitchen is a good idea. or how about one of those indoor teepee/playhouse things? But I'd definitely run these ideas by the parents. These are big presents indeed. |

Agree with this. There's no need to spend a lot. They don't understand the value of money. |

| A nice play kitchen (might be too young now but probably will love it soon—my kids started playing w it around 18 months), play set/climbing and sliding structure for either inside or outside, cozy coupe, or one of those cozy foam armchairs w their name on it (not a toy but something both my kids and I have really loved having and use all the time for reading books or building forts now at ages 4 and 2.) |

Get one of those cars they can drive around (I think $200-$300) or get a Barbie dreamhouse (over $100).
Or if it is about you redoing a favor (the parents have done something for you and you want to repay it at this time in the form of a gift), just get a small toy that a 1 year old will like along with a giftcard to Amazon or Target. |

| As to your question - toy kitchens are not old for a 1 year old. The parents can wait to give it. They will start using it at around 18 months (at least mine did) |

Another idea for a 1 YO - one of those pottery barn every where chairs.
It will be used for a long time. |
