Any ideas for a meaningful gift?

OK, So I’m a horrible gift giver. I’ll admit it. Ill think something is “so cool” or the “perfect gift”, but really, its pretty bad. Im the person that gives you something, and you’re thinking in your head, “what the hell is this?”

My best friends daughter is turning 1 this weekend, and I need to get her a gift. Not the standard…“here are some clothes” kind of gift. Like a truly meaningful, “I love you” kind of gift.
The only idea I can come up with is a “book of the month” type of thing where they send her a new childrens book each month. Maybe also something she can actually open, an educational toy of some sort.
Help, I need ideas :)
if the childrens book of the month idea is a good idea, does anyone recommend a website I can order from?
