In a hurry? You can’t go wrong with a Chunky Dinosaur Puzzle (£12.99) for a first puzzle, a Classic Hammer Bench (£14.99) for busy hands, or a Jumini Friends rabbit for a keepsake cuddle. Every gift is FSC-certified wood or food-grade silicone, plastic-free and British-designed. Prefer the background first? Read our guide to plastic-free first birthday gifts.

In a hurry? The short answer. The best plastic-free first birthday gift is a well-made wooden or food-grade silicone toy from a brand that certifies its materials. Look for FSC-certified wood, non-toxic paint, plastic-free packaging and an age rating that suits a 1-year-old (12 months+). For a gift that feels special out of the box, a gift-boxed set is ideal — like the Jumini gift collection or a piece from the Jumini Baby range.

In a hurry? The short answer. For most toddlers, the best first farm toy is a wooden barn playset with animals — it’s open-ended, encourages storytelling, and lasts for years. Look for FSC-certified wood, non-toxic paint, an age rating that suits your child (many farm sets are 3+, but some, like Jumini’s, are safety-tested from 18 months), and a modular range you can add to over time. Our pick for a first set is the Jumini Home Farm Barn Set.
