Home bargains has some good but cheap stuff for babies that you could get in for christmas. It all depends on what toys your baby has already!

My new baby will be a month old at christmas, I wouldn't bother getting him anything but dd will want to get him something so I'm going to let her choose some things for him from home bargains and let her wrap them and give them to him, she'll enjoy that and it'll help them bond x ooh can't wait...

I need some ideas, its my daughters first xmas, she will be 7 months old, ok what do you get a 7 month old for xmas?

In all honesty not a lot!!! She doesn't know its christmas so don't feel you have to go mad - this will all change in a few years. Buy a couple of small toys or books to wrap up so you can take the photos of her unwrapping things, I think we bought DD2 (about the same age on her first xmas) a fisher price toy in which you put a ball in the top and then press a button for the ball to come shooting out the bottom. she is now 2 and still plays with is. Remember the grandparents always spoil the grandchildren.

Clare,

For things to go with your dream catcher, the above might help. There are only 3 and 2 left of the books respectively though so be quick if you want them.

Thanks for that but I think she's a bit young - she's only 8. So I'm thinking maybe a fiction book of some sort with a bit of a dream theme? No idea what though...

Oh and glad you're feeling better!

Hello to any new people I haven't already said hello to!

Think bfg is probably better for an 8 yr olds reading ability though.
