8 Great Commemorative Baby’s First Christmas Gift Ideas
To make baby’s first Christmas truly memorable, you can delight your little one with a musical snow globe, give a Christmas tree decoration, create your own gift set, make a personalized Christmas stocking, consider hand or foot printing, personalize a Christmas plate, buy a figurine watch, and think about giving an angel pendant.
A baby’s first Christmas is thrilling for the entire family. The memories spent on this day will always be special and memorable, especially with gifts that will always be remembered and kept. If you want to leave a lasting impression, personalized baby gifts are a great option to give to newborns during the holiday season.
Give a snow globe that plays music
Snow globes that play music are appealing to a baby’s senses. Babies find them attractive and are soothed by the music. There are many Christmas-themed musical snow globes you can find at specialty shops. If you’re giving a baby a globe, don’t forget to put the year of his or her first Christmas at the bottom, right next to the baby’s name.
One thoughtful gift for a new baby would be a personalized Christmas tree ornament
You’ll enjoy placing baby’s first Christmas ornament on the tree as well as subsequent years as time goes by! Many ornaments commemorating baby’s first Christmas are available to choose from. You can order a personalized tree bauble with an angel or little Santa inside, or maybe a baby rattle decorated with Christmas ribbons. Perhaps you might also try hanging a cute little pair of baby booties complete with a commemorative dedication from you, indicating the year of the first Christmas celebration.
Be creative: make a gift set yourself
Create your own gift set of “firsts” to make a truly unique gift for the baby’s first Christmas that you and your family will enjoy forever. Gift sets can be created by combining a number of commemorative photo frames, plush toys and other Christmas themed items. If you want to be unique, bring your present to the party in a decorative gift basket.
A personalized Christmas stocking is another great idea
Most children end up with a Christmas stocking and getting one early in your child’s life that will last is a great idea. A couple of ideas for personalized baby gifts can be putting together your very own Christmas stocking or ordering a stocking embroidered with the baby’s name and the year of the fist Christmas. Make the stocking cute by adding bells, ribbons, or other ornamental fixtures, but don’t make it too chaotic looking by adding too much.
Either a hand or a foot print is another option to think about
Get creative and think about imprinting baby’s hand or foot on any material of your choice. An ink mark from a baby’s skin can be used on shirts for mom, dad, or the baby themselves; decide to print it on watercolor paper and frame it; or make clay hand/foot prints; or buy hand and foot print cases.
Buy a Christmas plate and have it personalized
A Christmas plate is also a great commemorative gift for baby’s first Christmas. Many stores specialize in items for you to customize with your choice of pattern and inscription. You can put this plate on the top of a shelf in your dining area or in your reception area.
Purchase a tiny, figurine watch or clock
Another gift perfect for a Christmas decor and commemorative gift for baby’s first Christmas is a figurine watch. An elegant and truly classic design is an angel, and more fun and childlike designs are snowmen, reindeer, or Santas.
Consider giving a necklace that has an angel pendant
Finally, an elegant and truly a commemorative gift you can give for baby’s first Christmas is an angel pendant with a chain. Your baby will enjoy the pendant during the Christmas holidays for years to come. A beautifully crafted pendant that is cherished and well-kept will likely become a family heirloom.
Here are some more great, personalized gift ideas for your baby’s first Christmas: a personalized Christmas blanket, baby books with Christmas stories, a Christmas music box or CD, stuffed toys with a Christmas theme, personalized Christmas-y clothing like shirts, socks, bodysuits and so forth.
