Shopping for her is always fun and something I can't avoid no matter where I am but putting presents under the tree for her is extra sweet. I always imagined Mr and I going shopping together to pick out her toys but let's be real he's at the hospital over 200 hours a month and while we could take her with us (she won't remember) it's no fun dragging her here & there in the hustle and bustle. So, 90% of her presents were ordered online and have conveniently arrived on our doorstep.
So I thought I'd share what Santa Claus will be bringing her for her first Christmas. I only have a baby girl so most are girlie but if you have a baby girl of your own or shopping for a niece or friend these are great gifts.
Also great for a 1st birthday ... She's turning 1 just 3 days after Christmas!!!
Radio Flyer Walker Wagon - I love this because it will help her when she starts to walk and she can push her toys around and even use it when outside. It's a classic! Her Grandma is getting her this wagon.
Swing - Vivian LOVES to swing at the park! We have a humongous magnolia tree in our front yard that is perfect to hang a swing from.
Chair - While I do NOT allow her things to overtake our home (her toys are in her room or in a basket that stores in a closet; even her cage folds up to store away) I'm ok with a chair of her very own that's easy for her. I chose the regular size that she can grow into.
Teepee - I can't wait to crawl into her teepee and read stories and play with her! I like the size of this one because it won't overtake her room.
Doctor Kit - since her Daddy practices medicine it couldn't be more perfect. I like this one because it's felt and soft for her.
Noah's ark - same company as her doctor kit. I love the classic fabric products. They are easy for her to play with. She also has this fabric bible.
Silver Hair Brush & Comb - I believe heirloom pieces are important. This is definitely more for me than her but she will appreciate it when she's older. They also allow for up to 18 characters for engraving so I was able to put her full name.
Mailbox - We love checking the mail! I've passed my obsession with snail mail onto her. She sees me write notes almost daily. I even asked Santa for a this copper mailbox for our new home.
Blocks - A classic toy and great for learning!
Peek-a-Boo Bunny - this cutie is so fun! Vivian loves to play peek-a-boo. It comes in an elephant too.
Her birthday is just 3 days after Christmas, we are gifting her these:
Baby Doll & Outfit - I wanted a doll small enough for her and soft. I also loved the traditional outfit so that it looks like her :). This doll was my second choice.
Baby Doll Pram - I love this one because it's classic and just like her stroller.
I have no doubt that on Christmas Day & her birthday that she's going to have more fun with the wrapping paper and boxes but over the next year she will grow and play with all of these things.
Of all the gifts we give her, our time and love are the most important! That's really all she could ever need :)
Dress Your Baby's First Christmas Beautifully
