Christmas gift for baby

[caidan]

Would you buy a 21 day old Christmas gifts? 

[VillainV]

Probably a few small things. Mostly so if he ever asked what he got his first Christmas, I wouldn't have to tell him "nothing."

My DS was two weeks old for his first Christmas. We got him a book, and my parents gave him a few other things. It was perfect!

A first Christmas ornament, a book and a sleeper

Baby #2 will be 7 days old and will be getting a baby's 1st Christmas Ornament, a 2014 mint set that DH buys every year for each kid, xmas PJs (Christmas Eve with DD) and a sleep sheep. DD will without a doubt question why Santa didn't bring the baby presents if there wasn't anything under the tree.

I would get useful things like a couple sizes of pajamas, teethers, crinkle or taggy toys. Stuff that you'll want in a few months

We bought Wee Gallery art cards and a crib/floor mirror. Basically stuff for baby to stare at and focus on. I'm due a few days before Christmas so baby might not even be here by then. It was just an excuse to buy more baby crap

I like this idea.

C will be just over a month old at Christmas. We're getting him a couple sets of Sandra Boynton books, but that's it. My parents, ILs, and other family members will buy him presents too, I'm sure.

No. DS was 3 weeks old his first Christmas and we skipped gifts.

[mellymel]

I like the sleeper and first Christmas ornament idea. I would put money in a college savings fund instead of a bunch of gifts.

DS was 1 month old at Christmas last year. We didn't get him anything, but plenty of family members did including a first christmas ornament. I ended up buying a playmat a week or 2 later and was like hey, we'll call this his christmas present if it comes up later.

[arebee]

I would but I love buying Christmas presents. I would get things that you are going to need anyways. Sleepers in a few different sizes, board books, and some stuff for when they start solids.

We bought my daughter a stuffed monster, two books, and a wooden fish. She was about a month old.

edited to add- I felt very strongly that we needed to have presents for her. Her first Christmas morning was in a hotel, and I wanted to start the tradition of celebrating Christmas morning with presents regardless of where we were, because due to parental pressures we will never be at our house for Christmas.

I am debating whether to bother with gifts for my 21 month old, so I vote no on a newborn.

I also am not a gift person though.

[redpenmama]

No. DS was born on 12/20 last year (due after Christmas), and he didn't get a thing. I had H go out and get him a Christmas sleeper so that he wasn't totally left out of the festivities.

[teatimefor2]

DS1 was three months and we gave him:
-baby's first Christmas ornament
-Christmas book
-money into his college fund

DS2 will be two months this first and so far I have a baby's first Christmas ornament. I'm not planning on getting him anything else, but if I see something I might get him a little gift so DS1 see DS2 receiving gifts too.

DD was about three months at her first Christmas. We got her some onesies in the next size, bath toys, a few books, and some 6+ months appropriate toys (stacking rings, teethers). I wouldn't have gotten her anything, but my niece and nephew spend Christmas with us and would have questioned it. Plus DH wouldn't have been able to restrain himself.

[changedname]

DD is 9 months and apart from the anywhere chair that I bought her, her presents and stocking are just stuff I got for my showers that I haven't got round to using yet- bath toys, vtech sit and stand, rocking horse.

I'll get her a few pacifiers etc for the stocking and through in a couple of mum mums.

Definitely get a special ornament and maybe some burp clothes and wipes? Lol

A personalized Baby's first Christmas ornament.

[Deleted]

taggies? Sophie? A super soft " babies first" stuffed animal?

[MadamePresident]

I'd do something small that you would use anyway like a pacifier or clothes that type of thing.
