Christmas ideas for 3 month old baby

Hi all, I’m a FTM with a DD who will be 3 months at Christmas. My DP and I aren’t going to buy any significant gifts for her this year (she’ll cost us a fortune in Christmas’ to come!) but we have a lot of friends and family asking what they could get her as a gift. So far my only ideas are 3-6 and 6-9 clothes. I know she’ll need a bigger cot at around that stage but my partner and I will buy that for her.

Any ideas for useful things I can ask for as gifts? Any good developmental toys that littles ones use?

Lots will start happening in the next few months!

Books are always a great present.

Regarding toys, have a look online at toys for 6-12 months and ask for some of those and out them away until she’s ready.

We always found it was great to have a few things in the cupboard, they always seem to grow out of their toys overnight!

Stuff ready for weaning
Toys for 6 months +
Books
Bath toys

We didn’t get dd much for her first xmas as she was 4 months but most of what she received was for her to use or wear over the next few months.
