Babies First Christmas Gifts
So as I’m now counting down the days to our babies first Christmas my thoughts are turning to gifts. I’ve got a few friends with new babies this year too so have a few bits to buy. Our baby will only be 3 and a half weeks on Christmas day so won’t remember anything about Christmas. I’d like to buy him something with sentimental value. Something that he can look back on in years to come and be reminded that it was his first Christmas gift.
I’ve put together a small list of items I’ve been thinking about buying for our little guy and for other babies that I have to buy for.
Of course Christmas isn’t just about the gifts, it’s about love and family and happiness and celebrating the birth of Jesus. To quote one of my favourite Christmas songs, “It’s true wherever you find love it feels like Christmas”
So in no particular order (as they say on I’m a celebrity!) this is my top picks this year!
Guess How Much I Love You Booties
We absolutely love this story in our home. Flixster has the hare from the story as his favourite toy that he takes to bed every night. So when I saw these I thought they’d be perfect for a gift to keep for years. As well as practical while the winter month are here to keep tiny tootsies warm!
They come in a beautiful keepsake box and are perfect for a girl or boy. You can find them here on the Find me a Gift website.
Wooden Car Transporter
For a friends almost 1-year-old baby I have chosen this Classic World car transporter that you can buy from the Hippychick website. I love wooden toys because they always last far longer than plastic counter parts. The car transporter is so well made and comes with 3 wooden cars to load onto it.
Childs Farm – Baby Bedtime Set
We’ve used Childs Farm products for some time now at home so I’m often recommending them to friends. Especially when my mum or dad friends are worried about delicate little skin. I was recommended Childs Farm by a friend of mine who raved about it clearing up her dry skin, so even I use it now and love it. When I found out that Childs Farm sell a baby bedtime kit I thought it was a great introductory gift for a new mum or dad no matter what age the baby. The set contains full size bottles of Baby Wash, Baby Moisturiser and Baby bubbles. The products are all suitable for newborn upwards.
All the Childs Farm products, of which there are many can be seen on their website.
Babies First Christmas 2017 Set
I’m a sucker for anything with the year on it when it comes to Christmas. Each year we buy a bauble with the year on it somewhere. A tradition we started as a couple when we moved into our first home together. When our boys came along we also bought them their own baubles too with the year on. So when I saw this set in John Lewis I fell in love.
It comes with a photo album, a photo frame, a jelly cat toy and most importantly a first Christmas bauble to treasure.
London Bus Hat and Socks
If like me you have family and friends who live in other countries then you may be looking for small light gifts to send from the United Kingdom. I absolutely adore these items available from the Museum of London Shop. Don’t worry you don’t have to live in London to buy them either. They are available for mail order so you can wrap them up and send them to family abroad.
The designs are super cute and I love the iconic London bus.
The socks have little rattles in them to keep baby amused while the hat is sure to keep little heads toastie in winter.
I’ve absolutely adore Christmas and really enjoy scouring the internet for more unusual gifts that not everyone thinks of. I hope my list gives you just a little more inspiration if you too are stuck for baby gifts this Christmas.
I was not paid by anyone for this post, for some of the items I was sent a sample but I have chosen to feature all the items myself.
