The very first Christmas with a new baby in the house is a very special holiday indeed. In fact, I was looking through photos of my babies’ first Christmases recently and couldn’t help but smile at the memories – gosh, they grow up so fast! If you have a new baby in your family or within your group of friends, I hope you’ll find today’s list of gift suggestions helpful. These are all items that my children absolutely loved as under 1’s.
The ideas below are mostly linked to an Amazon product links (these are affiliate links). These are suggestions only, to provide you with more information, obviously you can shop for similar items wherever you prefer to shop.
