Let me deinfluence your baby’s first birthday gifts 🎁…
We gave our daughter five gifts for her first birthday and only bought one of them brand new. 💫
This wasn’t because we didn’t want to buy her presents, but we knew her family were getting gifts and we’re all putting money together to buy a wendyhouse for the garden, so wanted to keep gifts from us minimal. 🏡🪴
Now, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t question whether I was doing enough. But watching her sister open her presents (of course) and seeing her more interested in the wrapping paper then crawling off after the first couple, I knew my worries were unfounded and she was happy. 🫶🏻
As for the old remote, we didn’t actually wrap this up, but it was a recent suggestion from my husband to give to her in an attempt to stop her getting her hands on the real one and she loves it! 😂🙌🏻
I know she isn’t going to look back at photos and think how few gifts she got. She’s going to look back and see how loved and special she is to our family. 🩷
So I’d encourage you to do what is right for your family and your baby - not what you think you should do because you’ve seen it on social media 🫶🏻💚
