Your little one’s first Christmas is an exciting time no matter how old they are. You might be wondering how you could make this first Christmas memorable.

We’ve have put together a list of our favourite gift ideas for your wee one.

Ornaments

Our go-to store is always Hallmark because of their wide selection and beautifully crafted ornaments, you’re sure to find one that you love and will stay on your tree for decades.

Christmas Outfits

Our top pick is Baby Gap for when you want to treat your kids and splurge on those timeless pieces that will last and always be remembered in Christmas photos.

Another favourite is Carters OshKosh B’Gosh  their clothes are so adorable and with the added bonus of being reasonably-priced it’s a win-win!

Toys

Melissa and Doug

From developmental toys to stuffed animals Melissa and Doug truly have the best. Their quality and uniqueness set them apart from any other brands on the market, find them here

My Pal Scout/Violet

Any chance I get this is my go to gift for little ones under the age of 1. You get a plush toy that plays music and the ability to personalize it with your child’s name, favorite animal, food and color.

Christmas Books

One of my favorite children’s authors is Laura Numeroff

All of Sandra Boynton’s books are fantastic!

And everyone loves this classic!

Felt Christmas Tree

This is great for when your child is too little to help decorate the Christmas tree. A gift your little one will enjoy every Christmas for years to come. We found this one on Etsy (http://etsy.me/2g8N9YI) but if you’re crafty it could be an easy and a fun family project.

Activity Gym

Our top pick is Skip Hops Camping Cubs (http://bit.ly/2g9VkYz )it is gender neutral and truly grows with your child. Also, It’s incredibly easy to fold up and store out of the way which we love

Enjoy your first Christmas holiday season with baby in tow!  -Leah
