Gift ideas for babies and preschoolers

This year we will have a brand new baby and as I have been trying to get organised with our Christmas shopping early this year I found myself really pondering over what to get a new born for Christmas. I figured we could use Christmas to stockpile things that the baby might need/want over the next 12 months and put them aside until they grow in to it so I started shopping online and have out together some Christmas gift ideas for babies and preschoolers.
