What to Buy for Baby’s First Christmas?
Your baby may not remember their first Christmas and they won’t remember what Christmas presents they received or who from. Whilst it may be a cliche, Christmas really isn’t about what’s under the tree it’s who is around it that is important. This is never more true than a baby’s first Christmas.
Christmas can be a very expensive time especially when you have a new baby to pay for! There really is no need for a crazy mountain of presents under the tree.
To save costs for everyone & if there are going to be lots of you together on Christmas Day, Why not consider a secret Santa draw for the adults so that each individual buys a gift for just one person?
When it comes to gifts for a newborn baby or choosing baby’s first Christmas present, writing a wish list around the following five categories and sharing it with family and friends.
Five Baby Gift Suggestions
Want
