Xmas Presents??


Well I know it's a tadge early so I apologise now I'm just really organised lol!!

Just wondering what on earth do you buy a young baby for Xmas? Maya will be just over 4 months old at Xmas. I know I don't have to make a big deal because she won't remember & she won't understand but I want to lol

I'm just clueless as what to buy her & what to tell people to get her when they ask. I 100% don't want money for her before anyone suggests it though lol!!

Also has anyone got any ideas what lil bits & pieces I can put in her stocking?? Once again I know she's not going to understand but stockings are a big family tradition in my family & I really want to get her a pink one that says 'babys first Xmas!!'

xxx

my favourite subject

notice how close its getting in my ticker

I have got so much already, at this stage I normally buy something every week and do have planned what I'm getting everyone

anyway the baby I bought loads for my little girl last year too much, she was 3 months but the main thing was a musical rocker. Its something she didnt have and she liked it

I bought loads of little teethers, and a few good quality fisher price toys that do last

found this, how sweet

If I don't get one for my shower, I'm holding off to get her a play-gym for christmas. I'm buying a bumbo seat, I may wait to give her that for xmas too since she'll only be 3-4 weeks old when xmas is here. My mom is going to be getting her a really pretty Christmas dress.

I have no idea what else. Its pointless to get her so many things, she's only going to be a few weeks old, but...its Christmas...you know?

How about asking people to get her clothes x
Why dont buy a walker, or a playgym x
When my niece was born she was 6 months old at xmas & she got so much stuff. We bought her a new pushchair bcus she was getting too big for the one with the car seat & my sister didnt like how big they were so got her a stroller which is still being used for her 2 yr old sister

Well in that 12 months after xmas there will be alot going on with her, so maybe you could buy her some older toys in advance for xmas, she wont appreciate them at first, but she'll soon be at that age were she is mesmerised by them.
And if people do struggle, you could always suggest vouchers, then you can put them to one side and when shes ready for other things, use them to take the pressure off you and your purse.
