The first Christmas with a new bub in the family is something particularly special. From their very first stocking to helping out with the Christmas tree and of course the endless presents they are sure to be spoilt with.
Buying gifts for little ones, particularly when they’re especially little, can be a challenge.
There are many things to consider when shopping for babies, are they going to grow out of the clothes in less than a month, what will be used and appreciated and what do babies actually find fun?

But have no fear as we have done the hard yards and rounded up our top picks of gifts for the little one in your life’s first Christmas so you can focus on enjoying the happy memories.
