What Are The Best Gifts You Can Buy A Newborn At Christmas
A child’s first Christmas is priceless, and it is something you will remember forever, but it isn’t something your child will recall, especially if they’re babies or newborns. What does this mean for gifting? You’ll want to get them something, but what should you get them? Here are some wonderful Christmas gift ideas for your infant that will allow you to give them something unique that, even if they don’t appreciate it at the moment, they will adore as they grow older.
Toys
Of course, toys are a popular option for a newborn’s first Christmas. Some toys are much better for very small children than others, so do your research before choosing one. Teddy bears, stuffed toys, and dolls are lovely, but combining their cuteness with something educational is much better. Why not see if you can locate a toy with different textures on it? These toys are fantastic for developing and stimulating a child’s senses. They may also make sounds or even light up. This will delight the child and may improve their motor skills.
Clothes
When a child grows older, they probably won’t enjoy clothing at Christmas (at least not until they’re adolescents), but newborns have little option and will constantly require more clothes since they produce a lot of mess and grow so rapidly. Buying clothing in the next size up, or even two sizes up, ensures that they will be ready and waiting in the wardrobe when the time comes for them to fit correctly. Even better, many shops put on sales before Christmas, so you might be able to pick up a bargain and get even more clothes than you thought you would be able to.
Savings Account
It may seem unusual at first since a baby doesn’t need money, but this will help them when they are much older, and it is best to begin as soon as possible. Open a savings account and commit to depositing a specific amount of money into it each month. If you can do this, it means that by the time they are 18 and you give over the account to them, they will have amassed a sizable sum of money.
Jewellery Box
A jewellery box does not have to include jewellery, and it does not have to be limited to female newborns. All youngsters will appreciate a gorgeously ornate box – possibly made of silver or carved wood – as a place to keep their tiny treasures that they have accumulated over the years. What’s good about a box like this is that you can personalise it to make it even more unique.
If you want to add a special piece of jewellery to the box, try to find something that will grow in value as the child grows. One of the best options is a watch; find out more about the history of Patek Philippe, and you’ll see that this is an excellent option.
Something For The Parents: A Photo Book For Christmas
Maybe the newborn has everything they’ll need. You don’t want to end up buying them multiples of things they already have. Instead, consider something for the parents. A photo book for Christmas is a great idea and you can either fill it full of pictures of previous Christmases or full of ones of the baby’s first Christmas. It can even be a gift to the baby, so they can see what Christmases were like before they were born, when they’re older. A holiday photo book is always going to be an incredibly personal gift to get someone because you have to curate the gifts yourself. It isn’t easy, and they’ll appreciate the effort you’ve taken to get it all right.
Bedding
A gorgeous, bright bedding set for a baby is an excellent present and with holiday comforter sets this could be a beautiful gift for a first Christmas. As with clothes, infants go through bedding rapidly – whether it’s a nappy leak or being sick, bedding will need to be cleaned many times. Keeping a backup set of bedding or two in the cupboard will make nighttime changes much simpler. You may even want to get a backup mattress since they can become fairly filthy as well.
