Baby Christmas Ornaments and First-Year Keepsakes

Baby ornaments are among the most personal Christmas keepsakes because they mark a specific year in family life.

What to look for

Dated ornaments, name-ready designs, prams, teddy bears, booties, stars and photo ornaments all work well as first-year themes.

Display tips

Hang fragile keepsakes high on the tree, use ribbon instead of sharp hooks where practical and store the ornament with a note about its first Christmas.
