As a tita or an aunt with a new baby in your family, you must already know how hard it is to get Christmas gift ideas for the latest addition to your family. Getting gifts for toddlers and older kids is easy, but coming up with baby gifts is trickier, especially if you don’t have children of your own. Here’s a time-tested Christmas gift idea: give baby clothes! While toys are fun gifts, parents will appreciate valuable items better; plus, you can help them save money by giving them what they would need as their baby grows.

If you’re a new tita with no clue how to choose the right gift for an infant on your Christmas shopping list, here’s a practical Christmas shopping guide to make your purchasing experience more manageable. It contains five Christmas shopping tips on picking quality baby clothes for your pamangkin (niece or nephew) or godchildren so that you can be the coolest aunt this Christmas!! Read on to see these Christmas shopping tips!


1. Buy practical items that can be used for a long time.

Classic whites are usually made from cotton-rich fabric.

Regarding babywear, consider buying at least one size larger infant clothing since babies grow fast during the first six months. Aside from shirts and shorts, baby hats, socks, and booties are essentials that a newborn can use. If you don’t want to focus on the gender of the baby, get a set of basic white clothes and accessories.


2. Check the material for quality and safety.

Sanitized clothes can help protect babies against harmful bacteria.

Comfort always comes first: this rule applies to baby clothes. Polyester is often recommended, but clothes made with soft fabrics and a high thread cotton count are more suitable for a baby’s sensitive skin.

Safety is also a priority with comfort since babies are more fragile and vulnerable to germs and bacteria. If you want to ensure the clothes are safe for babies as your Christmas gift idea, see if they are made with hypoallergenic materials. Safety seals are also present on products to guarantee quality, so look for that.


3. Consider quick-to-remove and easy-to-wash clothes.

Onesies with snap fasteners are easy to wear.

If your new pamangkin is the parents’ first baby, you can almost expect the couple to be overwhelmed, so give them items that can make their daily tasks easier. Clothes that can be removed quickly will come in handy, especially since changing baby clothes is not a skill that can be mastered overnight, and it can be challenging to do since babies tend to wiggle a lot. Also, look for clothing pieces with Velcro closings that are easy to apply and removable bottoms with elastic waistbands. Onesies are also suitable since they’re just one piece of clothing; choose one with snap fasteners.

In addition to this Christmas shopping guide for babies, check if the clothes are easy to wash. Laundry can pile up quickly since babies can be messy. Avoid clothing made with thick materials such as wool and knit weaves since these do not dry quickly.


4. Buy clothes suitable for the country’s different weather conditions.

Dress your niece and nephew in adorable and weather-appropriate clothes.

There are only two seasons in the Philippines—sunny and rainy—but these two are factors to note when choosing a gift. Give sleeveless tops, thin dresses, short-sleeved shirts, and shorts for summertime or humid weather. These can ease the baby’s body heat. Meanwhile, long-sleeved shirts and pajamas can protect babies from the chilly breeze and insect bites for cold days during the rainy season and -ber months.


5. Avoid clothes with small removable parts.

Clothes with beads or sequins might be cute, but they’re not suitable for infants. Babies tend to put things in their mouths, so small objects may present a choking hazard. Avoid clothes with small removable objects like buttons, beads, and the like as much as possible. If the style is your concern, don’t worry! You don’t have to sacrifice that. Opt for printed clothes with cute cartoon characters that you can add to your Christmas shopping list. Another option would be clothed with well-sewn pop-up designs that infants wouldn’t easily rip off.
