Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I feel like it's kinda pointless, especially since everyone else will spoil her big time, but I just can't imagine not giving her *something* for her first christmas. Some kind of keepsake is a great idea!
DD was 4 months, and she got a lot, total overkill, she had no idea, and it was totally unnecessary, but we did just get her things that she'd grow into and enjoy over the next 6 months. She eventually used and enjoyed most of it though.
This bub won't even be 4 weeks probably so it'll just be for DD's sake really... so it'll be a present from DD, and some clothes from Santa, probably whatever bub needs at the time... possibly fluffy nappies ROFL!
FWIW, the toy sales are crap unless you have your eye on something. I wouldn't buy something just because you think it's on special because most of it is BARELY a special and wouldn't even catch your eye without the colourful sale tag. Big W is scam x1000000 since most things are at their usual price, they've just chucked a tag on it, but if you look closely, most tags just say "Big W price" which means the usual non-sale price, with the exception of a few things that actually are on sale but in such limited supply that you'd be lucky to see them on the shelves today, let alone when the sale starts.
My first born was I think 4 months old for his first xmas. We did as a PP said and got him things for up until his next birthday, so he received an activity table, shape sorter, ball, books.
Next son was due a couple of weeks before last xmas, born on the 2nd of December so not very old! Again we gave him things to last til his birthday which was almost a year away. From memory he got a few rattle type toys, plus toys that were 6 month+ as he won't be getting anything through the year.
