[silver_locket]

Hi all :wave:
Was wondering what your buying your babies for christmas?
I have NO IDEA what to get my little Noah, he's just 3 months now, and there are so many things that look good, but we cant really afford, or not sure if he'll use/like...
How much do you usualy spend on a present? I'm one for practical gifts, but so far all he has is a tommee tippee bowl set and some baby maracca's lol
Any idea's would be helpful!

I am buying a cot mattress :) and also a toy of some sort, probably a play gym that can sit over her rocker. She just sleeps and eats she doesnt do much LOL so figure at least these will be put to good use

My bubs will be 4 weeks at chrissy so I bought a little toy for the pram some summer outfits ( one for chrissy day) and something for his bath (light up ducky) he has his own baths.

its hard buying for a baby, cause well you could buy them a toy any other day and they wouldnt know the difference.
I have decided im buying my dd a teddy bear with her name on it, I seen somewhere that you can get any name you want on, that way she will have somthing sentimental and special that she can keep and it will be a reminder of her first ever christmas when shes older.

I think I'd buy them a "keepsake" item, rather than something they can play with. Well, I'd probably get them a little item they can play with too, but hte main present be some sort of keepsake.

Like a set over hardcover Beatrix Potter books, or a little expensive tea cup, or a bracelet, or something like that. Stuff they won't really get any use out of for many years to come.

Last year we bought DS a tummy time gym that also coverted into one up in the air and had mirrors (not sure who made it) but we used it a lot and it wwas used for a while. Otherwise because their birthdays are so late in the year we bought things that he could use earlier but would benefit more from later like the jumping zebra thingo and lots of little do dads for his pram to keep him entertained. A jolly jumper would be a good idea if you havent got one and would use it. Oh and DS still plays with this train that runs away on him that my Mum bought him.....

Hi all,
Since our bub isnt born yet shes only going to be a week or so old but we got her a Jolly Jumper with music mat, a Tad learning frog and some clothes that we figure she is going to need anyway oh she also got some other small toys and an elmo that sings "elmo loves you" more things that she is going to get some use out of in the next few months (also as we are going away for xmas so she can have some "santa" pressies as we will be with my young nieces and nephews.)
