Every baby milestone is a thrill but combine a ‘baby’s first’ with our favourite seasonal holiday of the year and you’ve got one event worth celebrating with a bang.  This year it’s Reuben’s first Christmas, so it’s a hugely exciting time for us as first time parents.  After 18 years together you could say we’ve waited a lifetime to share this moment with our new little person.  We have, and we’re so ready for it!  

I’ve already bought (and wrapped!) what seems like a million presents already; lots of books, brightly coloured toys to stack and pull, and things I’ve found unbearably cute but which Reuben probably won’t be impressed with.  But I’ve really wanted to make an effort making sure some of his presents are extra special, so I’ve been on the hunt for some adorable Christmas gifts that make the perfect baby keepsake (or just look a little bit lovely!).
