Baby
My little niece will be celebrating her first Christmas this year and I have already started looking around for something special to be given as her first Christmas gif. My dilemma is in deciding what to give. Should it be something the parents will appreciate or something useful for the baby although baby wouldn’t care whatever I gave her since she’s way too small to understand. Anyway I’m hoping to buy something special to remind her of her first Christmas and know how special it was for her aunt as well. She has enough and more of useful items such as a lovely crib, a darling little pram, and clothes to last until next Christmas. Anyway, I couldn’t imagine my little niece drooling over sleep suits, mitts and socks or even bubble baths and baby lotions no matter how useful and appreciated they are, at least by the parents. Toys are an obvious choice, and there’s such a vast selection that one is spoilt for choice. Toys however seemed too common place although a personalized Teddy was not a bad idea. Kids love Teddies and tend to keep them even when they are grown up; scruffy and dirty as they are sometimes. That’s it I thought when I saw a pretty pink Teddy Message Bear with a baby’s name printed on the jumper. But wait a minute, there was another Teddy gift and this looked even better. It was a Teddy design set of cutlery consisting of knife, fork and spoon which the salesman was quick to point out could be engraved with baby’s name. Definitely a keepsake was my thought and she could also have lots of fun with it at mealtimes. I decided to look around some more and came across some delightful baby gifts that were sure to be appreciated by the new mom and dad as well as baby when she was big enough. Another unusual and very original gift was a beautifully embellished Christmas Star with baby’s name and year engraved on it. This was sure to be a hit and is something that can be used year after year and be one of those things both parents and baby will treasure always. No child can resist a colorful gift be it a rattle or ball. Some other popular baby gifts I thought suitable are engraved silver money boxes, baby calendars with a different baby picture for each month with baby’s name displayed, CD’s with songs or Christmas stories personalized with baby’s name being sung or read throughout, which seems to be the ultimate in personalized baby gifts. What lovely gifts children get today I thought, my memories going back to the time I was a kid myself and had to be content with much less in the way of gifts, but in no way lacking in love and laughter our house was always filled with. Isn’t that what all children need even more than toys and gifts? The love of parents can compensate for many things and any little baby who is loved whole heartedly will have the best gift of all and that is what will live in her memory more than any gift that is bought from the store.
