While our older children will love getting involved, babies are too young to understand what’s going on. But that doesn’t mean they too can’t get involved with the festivities. Here’s a list of fabulous gift ideas that will help you buy for any baby that you know this Christmas.
Something useful
Instead of opting for a toy, why not buy the baby in question something useful instead.
Parents will always appreciate a gift that makes their lives easier. Even better if you can find something that makes their child more comfortable or aids their learning. For example you could buy a pushchair cover or an age appropriate story book for them to look at. Some useful gifts may seem mundane, but they could make all the difference and be highly appreciated. Even extra bottles and blankets come in handy. Head to your local baby store and ask the staff for suggestions if you need any additional help.
Something to treasure
Buying a baby something they can treasure is a beautiful idea for a gift.
Look for an intricate frame or photo album and place recent photographs of them inside. They may not remember the day, but they can look back on it when they are older and keep it forever. Another wonderful thing for children to treasure are impression Christmas decorations. You can buy impression kits that allow you to make decorations for your home using the baby’s hand and footprints. This kind of set makes a unique gift that the child and the parents will adore for years to come. If you’re buying for your own baby, why not make this a tradition that you do every year. It will be lovely for your child to see how much they’ve grown and make your Christmas tree that extra bit special.

Something festive to wear
With so many adorable Christmas outfits for babies available, it can be very tempting to buy them all. But restrain yourself and consider your options. Clothing is a very personal thing and if you’re buying for someone else’s child they may have very different tastes to you. If you’re unsure go for something that is quite neutral and not too over the top. It can still have a festive picture on or furry trim to keep the outfit looking Christmassy. You don’t even have to buy a whole outfit if you don’t want to. How about a Christmas bib or socks instead? Or even a mini snowman jumper? These will make more versatile gifts and will bring a touch of Christmas magic to the baby’s outfit.
For your own baby and for others, always consider comfort and movability. They might look adorable in that elf costume, but they won’t be happy if they can’t move or get too hot. Also check the sizing thoroughly as this varies greatly.
There you have it. Three wonderful gifts ideas to suit any baby this Christmas. It’s a time for children and babies should be no exception. So make that extra bit of effort and get them involved in the Christmas cheer too.
