So, I wanted to take the dirty work out of Christmas shopping for you!

If you’re looking for a cheap gift idea that your baby will love, look no further!

What To Buy For Baby’s First Christmas

Let’s face it, a baby’s first Christmas is more about the parents than the baby. The reason I say this is because your baby will NEVER remember this day.

Therefore, it’s more meaningful to the parents. It also means you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make the little one happy.

I’m going to be honest, for my daughters first Christmas I only bought her an ornament, which was something sentimental for us to remember that day.

Oh, and we bought a box of diapers. That was it!!

Shopping For Newborn Christmas Gifts

There are two things to consider when shopping for a newborns Christmas gift.

Are you shopping for your own child
Are you shopping for a friend, niece, nephew or other family members

The gift can vary greatly depending on who you are buying for. For a baby’s 1st Christmas a lot of people usually ask for baby items that they need.

If a child is closer to 12 months a great learning toy or hardcover books are always a great choice.

Lastly, a lot of people are doing “no toy” Christmas this year! If you haven’t heard of no toy Christmas’s, it’s where you only ask for something the child needs or give them an experience!

Thankfully, this gift guide has everyone covered no matter what category this fall under!
