So it's Christmas and you're dying to put something under the Christmas tree for your baby - just what Christmas gifts for baby are appropriate?

  • Pregnancy Christmas Ornament
    This can be a nice reminder of what is to come in the next Christmas season, but also a reminder of where you are today. A great way to start a tradition of giving an Christmas ornament each year.

  • Children's Bible
    If you've been reading to your baby, a Children's Bible might be something you could add to your list. This is perfect for the religious family.

  • Music to Listen to Prenatally
    Whether it be just a great CD of music you'd like baby to get to know, or something specific that you think a baby would like before birth - music is a great option for mom and baby.

  • Baby Christmas Stocking
    This can be a blank stocking or one that is later embroidered with your baby's name.

  • Photo Frames
    A nice way to include the baby but give a practical gift that doesn't get lost well before the birth!

Don't forget that there is also the Christmas pregnancy announcement.
