After all, Christmas is about so much more than just the gift, right! And finding the perfect gift is time-consuming!!
So, I wanted to take the dirty work out of Christmas shopping for you!
If you’re looking for a cheap gift idea for a baby you 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 a Christmas 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, an educational 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 gift something the child needs, that isn’t a toy.
Get creative here, provide a new experience for the child or at this age maybe just quality time.
Thankfully, this gift guide has everyone covered, no matter what category they fall under!
Here are 15 amazing items to add to a baby’s first Christmas list, when you are struggling with what to get a baby for Christmas!
