Baby’s First Christmas Keepsake Gift Ideas

Baby’s First Christmas! What an exciting time, but let’s face it, your child is not going to remember a thing! Instead of trying to buy my babies a million baby toys, I chose to buy them personalized items or keepsake items. Read below to check out some of my favorite personalized keepsake gifts.

Baby Keepsake Christmas Ornament

Are you looking for a creative way to display your child’s hospital hat or hospital bracelet? Why not create a Christmas keepsake ornament. I make and sell these ornaments in my Etsy shop, but you can find other styles on Etsy as well! I love displaying these keepsake ornaments each Christmas on our tree.

Name Puzzle

Personalized name puzzle without pegs.

I purchased personalized name puzzles for each of my children for their first Christmas. I found these puzzles on Busy Puzzle. They have the option to have pegs or no pegs for the letters. You can customize the colors for the puzzle, and you can even add other things to the puzzle such as shapes and more!

Pinhole Press Board Book

I have been wanting to buy a Pinhole Press book for a while. I love that you can create your own board books! They are extremely sturdy, great quality, and an adorable first Christmas gift! I decided to make a Custom Board Book of Names & Faces for my daughter’s first Christmas. It was SO easy to customize and make. I can’t wait to give it to her for Christmas.

Hospital Blanket Stuffed Animal

Okay, how cute are these hospital blanket stuffed animals? What a perfect keepsake for your child! I found these on Etsy in the shop Numsies. She has many different animals available. We have bunnies for my daughters and this bear for my son. You can add their name and their birth date if you wish, or you can leave it blank. These are so special!

Birth Stat Pillow

Another great gift idea is a personalized birth stat pillow. I make and sell these in my Etsy shop, but you can find SO many different kinds on Etsy in other shops as well. This is a great keepsake item, and kids love pillows, so why not!

Personalized Name Books

I pretty much ALWAYS get my children some type of book for holidays and birthdays. I love these personalized books as a first Christmas gift. They have Christmas versions, or just normal everyday versions as well. You can click on the images above to find them on Amazon.

Personalized Santa Sack

This last item isn’t really a gift, but it’s a great first Christmas purchase. I made these Santa sacks for all of my children on their first Christmas. Gifts from Santa are delivered on Christmas Eve in these large sturdy toy sacks. You can find them in my Etsy shop.

I would love to hear what other keepsake gifts you would include for baby’s first Christmas!
