Prince George celebrated his first birthday in style yesterday with a tea party at Kensington Palace. Of course, the problem everyone had was what to buy the boy who has everything?

Royal Watch hears that Her Majesty the Queen has chosen a priceless gift for Prince George, from the Royal Collection, while first-edition Beatrix Potter books are also on the birthday boy's thank-you list. Wooden toys, including a train set spelling out George's name, are said to be proudly on display in the nursery. Over the course of the day, George has received countless gifts from stores and companies around the country. My 1st Years, an online store that specializes in personalized goods, sent George a hamper containing miniature Ugg boots with his name on them, a personalized pair of sneakers, and a smart blue-and-white striped shirt.

Celebrities have also been busy gifting. The Beckhams, who were guests at the wedding, are said to have sent designer clothes over to the palace, while celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his clothes designer wife, Jools Oliver, who has her own line for Mothercare, have reportedly sent George a collection of collared onesies and a new pair of navy cruiser shoes. Mothercare has also reportedly sent George his very own plastic Kensington Palace, complete with a figurine of himself! Royal Watch has also learned that a very special bottle of Pinot Noir from the Central Otago wine region in Queenstown, New Zealand, which William and Kate visited in April, has also been sent to Kensington Palace. The magnum of Pinot Noir harvested the year George was born will be laid down in the cellars for Prince George's 18th birthday. Now that's a present fit for a prince!
