Christmas is a always special time when you have children, but no Christmas is more special than your baby’s first one.  Whether your tiny newborn is a week old, or a speedy crawling 10 month old chewing through the wrapping paper with new teeth, it’s incredibly exciting.  And don’t even get me started on the proud new grandparents!

But where do you go to get tasteful, attractive ‘Baby’s First Christmas’ keepsakes – you know, the sort of thing you’ll still pull out of a box and cluck over in 30 years’ time?  I’ll tell you exactly where: you go to Babybuds – www.babybuds.com.au.

There are some lovely Christmas keepsakes, Christmas books and stocking fillers, almost all of which are under $20, and there are also some really lovely gift sets for those extra-special babies born close to Christmas (I was one of them!). I particularly like the Christmas Playtime Gift Set, which includes Baby Buds’ signature baby clothing bouquet, a beautifully intricate ‘Baby’s First Christmas’ Cloisonne bauble and some scrumptious gourmet chocolates. The amazing Christmas hampers are also a fabulous option.

What to get? What to get? What to get?

I can hear this question pounding through my head each time a friend welcomes a new arrival into their family, or when Christmas is approaching and I need something for family on the other side of Australia. I’m always on the search for something unique yet functional. It also has to have the ‘whoa’ factor when first received – usually due to the wrappings. Let me introduce you to Baby Buds – www.babybuds.com.au – a baby giftopia

The enthralling Baby Buds was first introduced to me when I gave birth to my first baby. Amongst the flowers, soft toys and endless boxes of chocolates arrived a dazzling bouquet with a difference. The blooms were actually baby outfits! A onesie, hat and slippers.  Since that day, I too have used Baby Buds to deliver a gift that is, in my opinion, guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.

This year, Baby Buds have expanded their gift selection to include Christmas items. Books, ornaments, bibs, toys and hampers are all available and are sure to make Christmas shopping a breeze.

Until 31 October 2009, all orders placed at Baby Buds will automatically go into the draw to win a month’s worth of Baby Love nappies and a The Wiggles playpen. Become a Baby Buds Buddy for more details, and to receive fabulous discounts exclusive to club members each month.

1. Merry Mary-Belle Giftset $89.00
2. Peekaboo Christmas Baby $75.00
3. Babys First Christmas Cloisonne Ball $19.95
4. Playtime Bouquet $65.00
5. Chocoholic Christmas Hamper $45.00
6. Chocolate Christmas Tree $79.00
7. Talking Tot $85.00
