Gifting Baby at Christmas–Small Christmas Gifts for Baby With A Big Pay Off
If you’ve ever watch very young children open gifts, they seem more enthralled with the box, paper and bows than they do with what’s inside the box. This year, why not take that into account when selecting gifts for baby and think outside the box.
Here are a number of Christmas gift ideas that are sure to delight babies with the wrapping, and will continue to benefit them as they grow older.
Giving a membership is a great way to stimulate baby, but will also allow parents to socialize as well. A membership to a children’s museum, indoor play place, the YMCA or YWCA, infant music programs such as Kindermusik, or Musicgarten are all great ways to start to get baby involved with others.
Joining a group is a great way for parent and children to network and socialize. These are opportunities that families, even those who can afford them, will be eager to have, but might overlook now with the responsibility of a baby in the house.
By giving stocks to baby now, the value will most probably increase and yield dividends for many years to come. Depending on the stocks you pick, it won’t cost you nearly as much as it would have a year ago. Many are cheaper now than they have been in a long while, and stand an excellent chance of increasing in value.
Buy stocks in all those stores that we can’t seem to live without, (you know their names) and that seem to be increasing profits in spite of it all. Baby will look back in 10 years or so and give you credit for fostering the entrepreneurial spirit.
Introduce baby and the family to organic foods with a collection of products and or a gift certificate to a nearby organic grocery. A gift certificate to an organic food store in a basket with some samples of food and snacks for baby, and wine and cheese for mom and dad would provide the healthiest, freshest, and not to mention tastiest food.
A gift card to an organic clothing store in a basket with an organic blanket, towels and toys would mean baby could sleep on organic linen, and wear clothes that avoid the use of chemicals and synthetic fabrics that often cause skin and respiratory irritation.
The nursery should be one of the healthiest places in the house because baby spends so much time there. Removing dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pet dander, bacteria and viruses will increase baby’s chances of staying healthy.

Help answer the question about gifts for baby
How long do I have to send out thank you cards for baby gifts given after the baby was born?Many gifts were given when the baby was a month old or more. Until how late is it still proper to send out cards?
Thank you! I'm just wondering because my son is 6 months old and I'm just sending out my thank you cards now.

sorry but the advertisement in the beginning really takes away from the video.
yes, lol. I just had a baby 5 months ago. You can send me a gift:):)
There is a great web site giggle.com that has really nice, environmentally friendly stuff.
One of those little silver boxes to keep lost teeth for the tooth fairy (often found with a fairy on the lid!). Every child only ever has one. Its a keepsake for life, but also something that actually gets used for a few years instead of just put away in a drawer.
This link is for a UK site, but to give you an idea…. http://www.baby-gifts.co.uk/sterling_silver_toothfairy_box.htm
Wicker laundry basket?
Or even the white plastic ones with a big pink or blue bow on them or one of each if she doesn't know what she's having. (She's about to be doing a LOT more laundry!!!)
Or if $$$'s not an issue maybe a bassinet? (maybe a used one if you have a gently used baby items store in your area.)
Or a toy box? She'll probably be needing one of those soon too (although the wicker basket works good for that too if you want to keep some toys in your family room or something.)
Good luck!
cute!
If you think they will notice if the gift is not in your home, then keep it and put it out when you know they are coming over. After they leave, tuck it in the closet. If you know they will never know, then donate it to charity. I donated like 2-3 shopping bags of gifts before I had my daughter and regifted a few others!
It's good to send a thank you card to everyone who sends in a gift.
I think that's more important than setting a cut off date.
Congratulations, by the way, on your baby!
(Sorry if I"m a bit late! lol)
In my situation, my friend who was in part helping plan the baby shower took me. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had a shower in the first place, and she had been involved in them before (for other people) and I hadn't, so she kinda knew all about what to register for and how everything works, etc. Trust me, the father would have been no help whatsoever, and I know I would have regretted it! lol

Happy shopping, you're friend is lucky to have such a generous friend in you!!
If you don't have the money, don't spend it. Your friend knows if you can afford it or not. If you can, get her something she needs, rather than the baby. Sometimes Moms get left out and with their emotional roller coaster after giving birth, it is a real nice gesture to take mom or mom & dad something. A bottle of wine they like, a meal you prepared that all they need to do is pop in the oven, those would mean a lot to them. Since you already got the baby something, there is no real need to get it something else unless you just really want to.
Good luck and enjoy the new baby and your friends, Rail
