The baby will not be able to play with large soft toys that are taller than the birthday boy. Do not give toys that have many small parts. Gifts should be useful and interesting for the baby or parents and not pose a danger. Ask the baby's parents what activities or toys he prefers. Ask what they lack for his development and upbringing. In this case, the gift will definitely be a joy.
