The Best Christmas Present Guide for Baby’s First Christmas Gift Ideas

A little one's first Christmas is an extra special milestone. While babies are too young to unwrap gifts themselves and perhaps even remember them, a personalised gift will be cherished, kept over the years and remembered even when that gorgeous baby is all grown up. Check out these cute ideas for personalised Christmas presents that will delight both babies and parents for that precious first Christmas morning.

1. Snuggly Plush Toys

Babies love soft, snuggly things that make them feel safe and warm. A special cuddly toy, therefore, makes an ideal gift for Christmas morning. What baby doesn't love cuddling a squishy stuffed animal, after all? Plush toys make great gifts for developing motor skills and encouraging sensory play. Look for cuddly teddy bears, elephants, lions and rabbits made of washable, child-safe fabrics. These gifts can be personalised with a child’s initials, name or birthdate to make them unique and extra special.

For interactive fun, look for activity mats with dangling plush toys, textures and sounds to keep them wide-eyed in wonder. Crinkle books also entertain with different fabrics and sounds on each page. Pick animals and themes that parents can use to teach babies early language and object recognition, and then you’ve got yourself a present that’s not only super cute but educational too.

2. Personalised, Adorable Outfits

Babies grow so fast that they are always in need of another outfit, and let’s face it, dressing babies in super cute clothes is one of the best things about being a parent, after all! Choose from sleepsuits, rompers, onesies or footed pyjamas from our baby clothing and shoes range. Festive prints are a great option, such as snowflakes, penguins, or reindeer will also have the baby looking the part and ready to enjoy all the Christmas action.

By choosing to personalise these outfits they make them even more special and are sure to be kept as treasured keepsakes for years to come. These clothes will look adorable in Christmas card photos, too!

3. Custom Keepsake Ornaments

Create lasting Christmas memories with gorgeous engraved or decorated Christmas ornaments for kids that can be opened and put straight on the tree for family and friends to admire. Choose round glass bulbs or carved wood shapes like rocking horses that your little one is sure to love. Personalise with the baby's name and year, birth details, or even a thoughtful message. As the child grows, they’ll love proudly hanging their very own decoration on the tree each year.

4. Personalised Baby Towels

Cute hooded towels make bath time more fun while keeping the baby warm and cosy. Look for oversized towels made from super soft, absorbent material like bamboo fleece. If you can find one with a hood, this is sure to give you added bonus points, as not only will a hooded towel keep the baby extra cosy, they’ll also look super adorable. To customise, add a baby's name or initials, and you’ll be giving a gift that’s sure to warm everyone’s hearts.

5. Luxurious Baby Blankets

You can never have too many soft, warm blankets when you have a newborn! Consider plush throws and hooded blankets made from cosy fabrics to keep your little one’s sensitive skin comfortable. Look for generous sizes to make sure there is lots of give for growing babies so you’ll be able to use yours for years to come… Go the personalised route with blankets embroidered or appliquéd with the baby's name, initials or birth details for the perfect thoughtful touch.

6. Keepsake Photo Books

Looking back on a baby's earliest moments is so special for parents. Capture baby's first Christmas in a custom photo book with shots of them in holiday outfits, opening gifts, trying their first mince pies and more. Pepper the book with Christmas designs and stickers, too, to give it that perfect festive look. Or pick a printed book where parents can add their own photos and text with their baby's Christmas memories. Looking through the photo book, each holiday season will become a beloved family tradition.

7. Christmas Sacks or Stockings

Get the little one their own Christmas stocking or sack to fill with age-appropriate goodies like rattles, teethers, soft blocks and board books. You can also include bonus stocking stuffer gifts inside, like festive bibs, socks and pacifier clips that the parents will be grateful for too. As the baby gets older, parents can tuck in snacks, small toys, crayons, stickers and other stocking essentials. Hanging their personalised Christmas sack or stocking every year will become a beloved tradition.

8. Decorative Keepsake Boxes

Keep baby's first Christmas treasures stored safely in a memory box. Engraved boxes make wonderfully unique gifts to keep trinkets and special memories, and can be something that the little one can look back on and appreciate in their later years.
