course, babies have been known to be more fascinated by the wrapping paper than the actual gift!
Simple baby toys are always appreciated, such as ring games, building blocks, bath toys or rattles. Sqeezy balls or anything that whistles, rings a bell or otherwise makes a noise will keep the baby entertained while Mom and Dad cook the Christmas dinner. After an exciting day, it may take baby a while to settle down and go to sleep. A mobile above the crib might do the trick, especially one that plays a soothing lullaby. A music box is another musical idea. Some items can be personalized with a message or the baby's name. There are My First Christmas Baby Blankets and teddy bears wearing T-shirts with Father Christmas printed on them available. Some teddy bears sing a song or play a tune. A Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is another great themed baby Christmas gift.
My First Christmas Keepsake boxes are great for storing cards and various other family mementoes. There are also boxes to keep baby's first hair curl or tooth. The baby can have his or her own stocking with their name on it. Pewter mugs and breakfast and dinner crockery sets are popular too. Sterling silver keepsake spoons or photograph albums or photograph frames are another good idea for a baby Christmas gift. Relatives or friends may want to buy your baby a bible or scripture book.
Some more unconventional Christmas presents for babies are gaining in popularity. These are not ones that baby can unwrap but they do last a lifetime. For a memorable baby Christmas gift, there are companies that sell an acre of land on the moon or Venus. The gift contains a deed certificate and a property map showing the location of the land and detailing the mineral rights. In similar fashion, it is possible to name a star in honor of the new baby. This comes with a presentation box, containing a certificate with the star's name, a sky chart and a star plotter. For a more down to earth present, there is a dedicate a tree gift pack so the baby can help conservation by having a tree planted in his or her name.

There are traditional and not so traditional presents available for the newest member of the household. Many of these baby Christmas gift items will be treasured for years to come. Of
