Don’t people just buy things they want to for birthday parties? I’ve never heard of asking for specific items except baby registries

Never heard of a birthday registry. Times have changed.

We do Amazon wish lists for birthday’s and holidays for all family members my kids, nieces and nephews- makes life so much easier! (You always know you the right size, what they don’t have, need/want)
I’d do mixture of diapers, educational/sensory/developmental activities that your child would enjoy and maybe gift card options too. Clothes as well.
Variety is always nice plus having the sizes help too.

I didn’t even know people done this. What ever happened to just being thankful for a gift

Geez y’all are harsh. Just because there’s a registry doesn’t mean guest can’t buy outside of it. I love when people provide registries. Helps me figure out what’s liked/wanted.
Baby outdoor swing
Baby slide
Water table
Sand box
Learning toys
Puzzles

Some of you all are too judgmental. Just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it isn’t a thing, sheesh. I do it because I have family that live 3+ hours away and can’t always make it to birthdays or holidays, so it makes things easier.
OP, you didn’t specify gender, so I will put a few different ideas. Hope it helps.
Coloring books
Cards for learning, stuff like colors, letters etc.
books
Outside toys.
Wagon for if you go to the zoo or amusement park
Baby dolls
Cooking toys/play kitchen
Stuffed animals
Clothes
Diapers/wipes
Gift cards for things to do, or places to go. Such as zoo membership, walmart etc
Sports toys.
Why do you need a registry? Just tell people on the invite what your child is interested in. Let people choose their own gifts.

I make a List of stuff on Amazon that I know my kids would like for birthdays and Christmas and give people the option to buy off them. Not saying I’m not appreciative but I’d rather do that the Have someone buy something she already has or something she’ll never use.
Just have some cake and ice cream, and be thankful people you invite took the time to buy a gift, whatever they feel like buying. A registry for a 1 year old is tacky. It would be a list of what you want, not the Birthday boy or girl.

OP I would change “registry” to “wish list” to get all the crochity old Karen’s to shut up.
Get things they can use! Material items are over rated. I’m learning the hard way. My kids could care less about toys and we are starting to do more things for experience. Being that it is only the 1st bday they won’t remember either way.
Why do you need a regerstry
For gifts that people can’t afford
Let the people buy what they can afford
TBH this is for you
Not a child who is turning 1
Who definitely won’t care

On Amazon it’s actually a wish list. I do one for my kids with their wants and needs and write in the blurb their sizes and current interests and I keep it up to date. It’s helpful for friends and family that are not local that would like to get them something or for the family that is local for ideas on what to get them orrr eliminate the stress of buying a gift. I hate buying children presents because I know my kids (IEPs/neurospicy) are very specific to what they will or won’t wear and are particular about their toys and I don’t want to waste my money on something someone won’t use. So when I have to give a gift and the person doesn’t have a list, I get a family game and snacks or a movie gift card or something like that. I love experience gifts personally but people shy away from them for whatever reason and that’s why I started the wish list several years ago.
I told everyone to bring 5$ in a card if they were going to get a gift
Stuffs she needs , like clothes , shoes , toys , diapers etc .
I will not put very expensive stuff
If it’s a boy plastic animals,big blocks, basketball hoop, slide, balls, big trucks, swing, sandbox
Girl dolls, swing, sandbox, learning toys, play kitchen
Fisher price picnic table can be used inside to color n craft and outside too.

Bro if I was invited to a child’s birthday with a registry I straight up would not attend lmao. A gift is something of thought regardless, if you want your child to have something specific, buy it your damn self.
A gift registry for a one year old? I’ve never heard of that. In fact I’ve never heard of a registry for any child’s birthday. Just let people bring a gift. Shopping for a one year old is easy.

You should also set up a go fund me for the one year old as well…Wow gone are the days,where any little gift was lovely
I have an ongoing wishlist for my kiddo, I add things to it that I come across and know she’d like.
For everyone saying it’s a bad/entitled thing: when people ask what your kid wants or likes, and you KNOW they’re coming through with a gift no matter what you say, it’s nice to send a link rather than repeat yourself a dozen times. And it also helps cut down on duplicate gifts; if someone’s already bought it, it won’t be available anymore. It’s incredibly practical and helpful for EVERYONE.
And when I add it to birthday invitations, I always include a note that gifts ARE NOT REQUIRED – “your presence is present enough”.
Edited to add: we also make sure there are things in every price range. You want to buy something but only have a couple bucks? Kiddo would LOVE this bathtub paint/toy, etc.
For first birthdays we always just said no gifts were necessary but if they really wanted to bring something that board books or money to put towards their college fund were appreciated.

At age one they probably have everything they need but if you actually have to have gifts at their birthday party cuz trust me they’re not going to remember any of that do educational toys push walking toys if nothing else ask for no gifts or a gift donation to a child’s charity
A savings account! Give the baby a box and a pan with a wooden spoon!
There are so many “tell me you’re stuck in the past and want something to whine about to feel superior without telling me” comments
Defiantly a 10 day cruise or something along those lines would be nice
Why a darn registry? What happened to picking out a gift on your own. And for a first birthday . Parents going to do this for every birthday? Ridiculous
“Your presence is present enough” Why you being greedy for a 1yo
