Anyone due in spring getting baby items for Christmas gifts?
I currently am due in May. This past summer I just had a garage sale to clear stuff out of my house and am not coming up with many idea's of things i want for Christmas. I know there is always the default perfume/jewelry but i did that last winter and birthday already.
I kinda feel weird getting baby stuff so far in advance but there is not much else I can think of needing at this point. And my shower would small, half the size of my wedding shower which I still had to purchase alot for the house.
Anyone else getting baby stuff for christmas?

Re: Anyone due in spring getting baby items for Christmas gifts?
Honestly, I think it's kinda weird.  Do you mean from you to the baby or from other people to you/baby? I would use whatever money I would spend and go buy a CD for the baby that will mature in 6 months or open an account which will become LO's. My daughter is 9 weeks old and we aren't even getting her stuff for Christmas  Maybe some diapers and a toy or 2.

Re: Anyone due in spring getting baby items for Christmas gifts?
people are starting to ask what we want for Christmas. Honestly, money. We are due in Jan, but with a baby shower & gifts here and there, I don't think I'll "need" anything for Christmas for the baby.

Re: Anyone due in spring getting baby items for Christmas gifts?
I'm due in May and all I'd like is nice maternity clothes. I don't want anything for the baby yet b/c as it gets closer we'll get money and gifts after we register. We're not having a baby shower so we'll get all the gifts when the baby is born either at the baby naming or briss.

I think it's fine to get some of the stuff off your registry for Christmas. If there is really nothing else you want/need why not?

Re: Anyone due in spring getting baby items for Christmas gifts?
i agree with the PP....i wouldnt have people buy you things like a carseat or pack and play for the baby..but maybe things like mommy and me classes to be used at a later date...or scrapbooking stuff to get one started(if your into that)...this is probably the last xmas you will have to enjoy without babies and thats when xmas really takes its shape..for now...enjoy pampering you.....ask for a pregnancy massage.....or maternity clothes if need be...take care of you.....if you mean you and husband buying gifts for the baby then thats different...im sure my mom and myself will buy somethings for them..maybe stuffies..toys..etc..hope this helps

Im due in March and any gifts for me, im hoping will be gift cards to use after the baby is born. I have a feeling my close family will probably buy some baby things, but for the baby not for me.

EXACTLY!!
My parents are buying gifts for the baby for X-Mas but they're for the baby, not me! They are also buying me my usual presents!

Re: Anyone due in spring getting baby items for Christmas gifts?
I dont see any issues with it, if thats what you want/need why not?
There is so much that a baby needs to me it makes sense to ask for things especially if you have done your registry already by then. Or ask for just gift cards.
Also maternity/nursing items are good for gifts if there is stuff you need.

Re: Anyone due in spring getting baby items for Christmas gifts?
I meant gifts from other people. my mom has been nice enough to take me out to get maternity clothes when needed, dh & I already have a large christmas dvd collection, my sister gave me the snoogle pillow that i just need a new case for, and tons of those what to expect when your expecting/first year books.
I know there are SOME things i can find for myself for christmas- but its just no where near the amount people ask me to pick out-
hmmm.... gift cards are a good thought, at least that would fill up part of it...
