Baby’s First Christmas: Organic Gifts and Keepsakes to Treasure
A Christmas Like No Other
There is nothing quite like a baby's first Christmas. They will not remember the wrapping paper or the pavlova, but everyone around them will. The photos on Christmas morning, the first stocking, the moment they grab a bow instead of the present. These are precious family memories that last a lifetime.
That is what makes a first Christmas gift so special. It is not just something for now. It is something to look back on.
Dressed for a Summer Christmas
Here in New Zealand, a first Christmas usually means sunshine, so light and breathable matters. Our short sleeve babygrows and Wee Tees are made from the same soft 100% organic cotton, gentle on delicate skin and perfect for warm days.
Choose a babygrow for an easy all-in-one outfit on Christmas morning, or a Wee Tee for a lazy day at home or a long lunch with the whole family. For little ones celebrating in cooler climates overseas, both layer beautifully under a cardigan or over a long sleeve top.
Best for: Christmas morning photos, family gatherings, and a first Christmas outfit worth keeping.
Designs With a Christmas Feel
Some of our designs are made for the season. Our Christmas tree collection includes four festive designs, each hand arranged from real natural materials: the Christmas Paua Tree, shimmering with iridescent paua shell, the Christmas Cherry Tree, made from fresh summer cherries, the Christmas Blueberry Tree and the Christmas Mixed Berry Tree.
For a true Kiwi Christmas, the Pohutukawa Star celebrates the pohutukawa, New Zealand's own Christmas tree, with its bright red blooms that arrive every summer.
A Card to Keep
A first Christmas deserves a card worth keeping. Choose one of our new baby cards or Christmas cards, write the date and a few words about the year, and tuck it away in a memory box. In years to come, it becomes a small piece of family history.
Tip: add the baby's age and something they loved that year, like a favourite toy or their first giggle. It will mean more and more as time goes on.
Choosing the Right Size
Our babygrows and Wee Tees come in sizes from 0-3 months through to 18-24 months. Babies grow quickly, so if you are unsure, choose the next size up. That way the outfit can be worn through the summer holidays and beyond.
Every piece is printed to order especially for your little one, so it arrives fresh and made just for them.
For Grandparents Near and Far
Grandparents, aunties and uncles love marking a first Christmas, even when they live miles away. We ship worldwide, so you can send a little piece of New Zealand to a new baby wherever they are. If you are posting overseas, our Christmas Cards Across the Miles blog has this year's sending dates to help it arrive in time.
A First Christmas to Remember
Whether it is a babygrow for Christmas morning, a Wee Tee for a summer picnic or a card to keep forever, a first Christmas gift is about more than the day itself. It is about the memories that come with it.
We offer free NZ delivery on orders over $75, and we ship worldwide, so wherever the little one is celebrating, a Golly Gosh gift can be there too.
