Your baby has just arrived and they're quite obviously THE BEST Christmas present ever, or your little one might be nearing their first birthday and are already on the move. Wherever they're up to in their development, we know that your baby's first Christmas is a moment to be well and truly celebrated and savoured!
Here, we're going to take you through our tips for making those memories as special as possible.
1. Making Memories
Their First Christmas is one to enjoy making lots of lovely crafts with their adorable hands and feet. Ornaments, decorations or Christmas cards will be treasured by grandparents and other family members. Don't forget to create some for your tree! You'll find that unpacking them every year to decorate your home will fill you with memories and happiness of when they were so tiny, because they don't stay so little for very long.
2. Starting your own Family Christmas Traditions
There are lots of new ones around that you might not quite be fully aware of yet, such as a Christmas Eve box loaded up with a story, pyjamas, a film and some sweet treats. The super popular Elf on the Shelf - this cheeky little Elf arrives in your home on the 1st December and gets up to all kinds of mischief! There are lots of Elf on the Shelf ideas here. Some parents forget to move him and it turns into a nightmare but the fun it creates in those younger years will create lasting memories for them as they grow up.
3. Don't compare!
4. Create a Wishlist
5. Chart baby's growth
6. Dazzle them
Jingle some bells and listen to Christmas carols. And, if your baby's old enough, give them a taste of some special holiday foods like gingerbread men or mince pies. They'll love the newness of it all, and you'll love watching Baby's first Christmas come to life!
7. Set a budget
Your baby will receive lots of presents from family, so rather than spending a fortune on expensive gifts and toys, set yourself a budget so you can get lots of lovely gifts for your baby that you can afford.
