To ask for Christmas present advice (yes I know it's still November, sorry!)

[Bearcats]

One of my good friends had a baby girl earlier this year. She's the first in our group of friends to have a baby and this is her first Christmas!

I want to get her something special for Christmas, maybe something personalised but doesn't have to be.

What are great Christmas presents people have got your kids? I want to make sure it's something they'll love!

Babies first bauble for the Christmas tree?
The first Christmas book - nice if they're religious
Other nice Christmas board books
Toys for the next stage - wooden toys that last

My sister gave me an ornament - a glowing fireplace with stockings hanging over it, with each of our names on...I love it, but it would probably be better as a pre-christmas gift. Bit like this: www.gngonline.co.uk/product/13172/Waiting_for_Santa_Fireplace_Range

op there is a special christmas topic, just in case you dont get much help here.

A really nice soft blanket with their initials or name on?

Do you have or could you get hold of a photo of parents plus baby together? You could have a xmas tree ornament made with it. I make such things but cannit advertise on MN plus i've only made them for friends.

The Night Before Christmas book?

Love the night before Christmas book idea!

Thank you all for suggestions so far!

I was given Christmas glass tree bobbles that are really nice & used every year. It has a picture, their date of birth, weight, time of birth & name. I think it was £20-25.

My dd got given a lovely snow globe, also something like cuddle cube from the cuddle company
