Baby's First Christmas: Gift Ideas for Your Little Love

Looking for the perfect gift? For baby's first Christmas, you can't go wrong with a keepsake blanket they'll treasure for years, a sweet summer outfit for Christmas Day, a swaddle and bib set for new parents, or little stocking fillers like socks and headbands.

There's something truly magical about a baby's first Christmas. The twinkling lights, the wrapping paper they'll love more than the gift, and the first photos you'll look back on for years to come. Here in Australia, it's also their first summer Christmas, so we've gathered our favourite gifts for sunny days, family gatherings and all the precious moments in between.

Keepsake gifts to treasure

A first Christmas deserves a gift that lasts well beyond the season. Our Confetti Sprinkles Keepsake Blanket is made for milestone moments, from Christmas morning photos to cuddles with visiting family. For something lighter in the summer heat, the Love Blanket, with its delicate openwork hearts, is breathable cotton that parents tell us is perfect for warmer months.

Soft baby blankets they'll use every day

A soft baby blanket is one of the most-loved gifts a family can receive, and there's one for every little personality. Celebrate an Aussie Christmas with our Baby Koala Blanket, bring a smile with the Little Llama Blanket or Quacky Duck Blanket, or choose a modern classic like the Macro Houndstooth Blanket. Want something to grow with them? The Horizon and Astor Edge blankets are our larger 100 x 120 cm styles. Browse all our soft baby blankets.

Summer outfits for Christmas Day

Dress your little love for a sunny Christmas lunch in something soft, comfy and oh-so-sweet. Our Kind Club Set pairs a duck-embroidered tee with matching drawstring shorts, perfect for backyard celebrations. Or mix and match the It's Cool To Be Kind Tee with our Drawstring Shorts. Both come in sizes from 6 months to 4 years, so they're just as lovely for big brothers and sisters.

Swaddle and bib sets for new parents

Know a family welcoming a newborn this festive season? Our Dolce Vita bundles pair two breathable bamboo-cotton swaddles with two matching bibs, ideal for keeping little ones cool through an Australian summer. Choose sunny lemons with the Dolce Vita di Amalfi Bundle or warm citrus with the Dolce Vita di Sorrento Bundle, or explore all our baby swaddles and wraps.

A cuddly friend

A soft baby comforter can become a much-loved companion for cuddles and playtime while your little one is awake, and one of the sweetest gifts to find under the tree.

Little stocking fillers

Small gifts can bring the biggest smiles. Fill their first stocking with playful Carrot Socks, a sweet headband or topknot for Christmas photos, or a pretty bib for festive feasting.
