Baby's first Christmas ornaments at The Christmas Shop
A baby's first Christmas ornament is a glass decoration you hang on the tree to mark a newborn's first Christmas. Many ornaments carry the words 'Baby's First Christmas' in gold lettering, others come simply as a baby figurine: a cradle, a tiny shoe, a teddy bear in pastel pink, blue or beige. At The Christmas Shop you'll find them across the full price range, from Decoris ornaments under ten euros to mouth-blown sets by Inge Glas Manufaktor and signature pieces from Kurt S. Adler with a bear on a toy block.
Bears, rabbits and rainbows
The small Decoris ornaments form the heart of this collection. A squirrel, a rabbit, a little bear on a rainbow in pink, blue or brown. All in soft pastel tones and child-friendly sizes. Under ten euros each, so easy to combine several together on a small tabletop tree. For something with a bit more story, try the hot-air balloon with a teddy bear on board, or browse the wider animal ornaments.
Inge Glas mouth-blown sets from Germany
Inge Glas Manufaktor has been hand-blowing Christmas ornaments in Germany for more than a century. Under the 'Baby's First Christmas' name the brand offers sets of three mouth-blown ornaments, each hand-painted: a cradle, a teddy bear, a tiny shoe. They cost more than a single Decoris piece, but these are the kind of ornaments that come out of the box for twenty Christmases in a row.
A keepsake or a new-baby gift
A first-Christmas ornament works best as a yearly tradition. Some parents add a new ornament each year, others write the baby's name and birth year on the glass with a special marker for porcelain and glass. It also makes a thoughtful new-baby gift, alongside the usual soft toys and books. Pick it up in our shop in Delft or have it shipped, and it will reappear in your Christmas tree every December.
