A baby\u2019s first Christmas is always a special one, and a memorable milestone too for the parents, extended family and baby. <\/p>\n

When it comes to finding the perfect gift for a baby on their first Christmas<\/a> there are a plethora of gifts to buy, from cute clothing, muslins and baby essentials, to stories and memory boxes, plus much more. <\/p>\n

While there is an overwhelming selection of gifts to buy a baby, the real difficulty is knowing when to stop shopping adorable booties for the new addition to the family. <\/p>\n

Whether you are buying for your own baby, whether it is your first child or third, maybe the baby you are buying for is a niece, nephew, grandchild, or your best friend\u2019s bub, we have whittled down the best baby gifts to suit all budgets. <\/p>\n

While some may be inclined to shop pink or blue outfits depending on the gender<\/a>, we often recommend buying clothing that is all white, soft greys or neutrals, purely so those baby buys can be passed down.<\/p>\n
