We've picked out our 10 favourite things to help celebrate your baby's first Christmas...

We don't want to alarm you, but Christmas is just around the corner! Yep, it's time to start thinking about filling those stockings and deciding who's hosting dinner this year.

If you've welcomed a newborn into the world over the last few months, baby's first Christmas is going to be a really brilliant time in your growing family. It can be hilarious because the little ones are usually too young to have any idea what's going on (just like at their first birthday party - but we're throwing one anyway) but that's not going to stop us spoiling them with Christmas presents...

Whether you're a mum or dad, a granny, aunt, uncle or friend, you're bound to want to get baby something special to celebrate their first ever Christmas Day - so here are some great ideas for cute little Christmas gifts for babies.

Still struggling? Think of special things that you can keep for baby to look back on when they're older - like personalised stockings, decorations and books. Toys and teddies are, of course, always a good shout, but try not to go overboard (we all know how easy it is to do this!). And practical gifts are always a good shout - babies have a way of finding the fun in the most boring things.
