8 Awesome Ways to Memorialize Your Baby's First Christmas

One of the great things about having a baby is that every occassion is a "first" and every first is special. The baby's first Christmas is particularly special, which is why you might want to go out of your way to buy something to remember the holiday and Etsy is full of cool (often custom) products to help you do just that. Here are 8 particularly fun ones:

Ornaments

No baby's first Christmas is complete without a special ornament to celebrate. This embroidered design by EmbroideredWorld is an especially charming way to mark the occassion.

A Special Outfit

Sure, you might not keep your kid's first Christmas outfit forever, but the pictures you'll take of them in the clothing will keep those memories alive forever. For little girls, this red and white tutu ensemble by PrincessKeepsakes is a fun, festive way to celebrate the season.

Bibs

You don't need a full outfit to make the season bright -just a festive bib like this one by CuddleBugStudio and some delightfully messy Christmas meal moments are sure to leave you with plenty of fun photos you'll enjoy forever.

A Cozy Blanket

Sure it's hard to not be overloaded with blankets when you have a newborn, but a Christmas blanket by HilltopBabyandMore is a great way to keep your infant warm and seasonal all at once.

Posters

There are all kinds of fun celebratory prints available on Etsy, but this age and interest print by PerfectLittlePrints.

Stockings

You may not want to use a baby's first Christmas stocking for their whole lives, but there's something seriously sweet about using one that first year -especially if it's as charming as this photo Christmas stocking by SewlyInspired.

Photo Books

Few occassions warrant their own photo book, but a baby's first Christmas might just be one of them and if you're going to go all out with the pictures, you might as well house them in their own custom book like this one by KnightandGray.

Cookie Plates

Santa's Christmas cookies have to go somewhere and this mistletoe footprint plate by MyForeverPrints is one of the most adorably charming places to put them. 

With my own little munchkin celebrating his own first Christmas this year (yup, that's him celebrating his first month birthday today), you can bet that our house is about to be filled with all kinds of baby's first Christmas goodies. I'm particularly partial to that mistletoe plate. How about you guys, do any of you have a favorite baby's first Christmas item?
