Shopping for a baby boy's Christmas gift can be difficult, since these tiny bundles of joy have not yet developed their own likes and dislikes. Usually, something that can be kept as a keepsake or used for a practical purpose is best. Clothes are something that the baby can use now and often, while a personalized item is something that can be saved and cherished for years to come. - Put a new spin on an old gift. With a personalized baby blanket you can have his name embroidered on it and maybe even a prayer, saying or message just for him. Depending on where you order from, you may even be able to pick out your fabric or suggest a fabric that you like. Since it is a Christmas present, you may want to consider putting lines from a Christmas prayer or song on the blanket and choosing a Christmas-related pattern.
- A gift from the heart that allows you to spend time and effort, rather than money, is a homemade stocking. You can purchase a pattern or design one of your own, in a Christmas theme. You may even want to consider embroidering his name at the top and leaving a clear plastic window to put his picture in each year.
- If the baby was born at the end of November or beginning of December, then a memorable gift that will last forever is a monthly onesie package. Monthly onesies are labeled from 1 month to 12 months. If you cannot find them for purchase, then you can make them yourself with iron-on numbers. With the onesie package, include a gift card for a nearby photo shop. Each month the baby's parents can take him in to get his picture taken while wearing his onesie for that month. It will be a good keepsake that will record his growth during his first year.
- If this is the baby's first Christmas, then an outfit that displays that message is a great gift. You can get a "First Christmas" shirt or onesie, pants, hat and bib and present it to the parents on Christmas Eve, so that the baby can wear it on Christmas Day. This type of first Christmas gift is easy to find at many major retailers and specialty shops.
