First Christmas Ornaments for Baby
I love ornaments. All of my readers know that. I love Christmas, yes and I love decorations, and even making decorations all year 'round in preparation for the upcoming Christmas season. Santa's sleigh has a long history, and I've decided to revamp things here a little bit and start with fresh finds.
My daughter recently had her first baby, and I wanted to get her something special for their Christmas tree. I remember when I bought first ornaments for my two girls. As a young mother, I was so excited. Those ornaments still mean the world to me, but in all honesty, their quality wasn't so great when I purchased them, and I'm afraid that the years have certainly taken their toll and frayed a few edges. So perhaps selfishly, I started cruising around the internet and found what I think is probably the top baby ornament website. You can look for yourself at 100s of ornaments for baby boys and girls that they have separated out so it's easy to shop. They also have gender neutral if you're going to a baby shower, need a gift, and the new mother is one of those who doesn't want to know what the sex is.
Check out the first Christmas ornaments for baby section that allows you to personalize the ornament. I just love those. The ones for my kids didn't offer that option ah-hem (30!) years ago, so I wrote on them myself. Not quite the professional look I'm going for, but certainly one filled with good memories.
There are two more things I like about this site. They have ornaments that make great little gifts for the obstetrician and nurses who helped deliver the baby. I never thought of that, and I'm sure many others haven't as well. It's a nice little "thank you" and acknowledgment, particularly if the pregnancy was a difficult one. You'll also find expecting ornaments and even family ornaments that show the new baby. Personally, I chose the first ornament for my daughter's baby since this is her first. However, if you're in a situation where it's not a new family, but rather this is their second or third baby, and they're not that close to you, well...I might choose a new baby in the family ornament. Those are pretty cool, and I've never seen anything like that.
