ME
I already have some ideas... but before I go out buying stuff I am looking for a few more suggestions, just in case I missed something :-)
Answer
Two year old -- Having just spent an hour and a half playing with my 2 year old daughter and a Melissa & Doug wooden pizza set with a bunch of playdoh, those would both be a good idea. She loves to make pretend food and have me eat it and she adores playdoh. :) She also loves doll houses, babies, horses, a kitchen, making art, books and blocks. Oh, and Dora, but that's a personal obsession of hers. :)
One year old -- The best toy I got for my kids as a one year old was Fisher Price's doorframe house thing (I'll find a link and put it below). As a matter of fact, they, along with their friends, all still play with it and the oldest are 4-5 years now. Another fav was LeapFrogs activity table but they didn't stay interested in that one as long.

Gifts ideas needed for my 1 year old God-daughter?
Rae
My God-daughter turns one this year and I would like to get her something special. Any ideas??
Thanks!
Answer
I got a Noah's ark made out of wood with a lot of animals, when I was 18 months old, I still have it. It was a pull toy. I really think you should give something that will last a long time so you can play with the child on and off with it and they will develop fond memories of you. Jewelry is nice, but don't you think when they are 13 or so, they would really like it then?
I got my first pearl necklace when I was 12 from my dad and he died the same year. When my own daughter turned 12 I gave it to her.
So gifts can last a life-time and even more. Don't forget to get plenty of pictures of you and her togther with the family ... you will want to remember the moment.
When my God-daughter turned 12 I got her a memory box with a picture of us on the top with the date. But she also has a keepsake toy animal I gave her when she was 3 and said in my voice, I love you when you pushed on the heart button. I hope it will last a long time.
So think of the child's long-term memory and what you want her to eventually see in the gift you give now for the future. Money is good, but finding that special one thing can be there forever. Good luck.
