Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you’re a friend searching for a unique baby shower gift, a grandparent looking for a special keepsake to spoil your grand baby, or a parent planning your little one’s first holidays, it can be hard to know where to start. From choosing the right baby’s first holiday outfit to finding thoughtful, meaningful gifts that last beyond the moment, these helpful FAQs can guide you toward the perfect choice.
What size should I buy for a baby’s first holiday outfit?
We recommend choosing the size your little one will be during that holiday (for example, if baby will be 4 months old, select the 3–6 month size). If the baby tends to run “ahead” or “behind” in sizing, adjust accordingly. Each listing includes a size chart for easy reference, and if you’re unsure, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’d love to help you find the perfect fit!
Should I get newborn size or go up to 0-3 months for a newborn’s very first holiday?
Babies often outgrow newborn sizes within just a couple of weeks, so we only recommend our newborn size for preemie or very small babies. Otherwise, 0–3 months is usually the best choice for those early holiday memories.
Are baby socks just for photo-props, or are they practical too?
Our socks do more than look adorable — they help create a cohesive, photo-ready look for every holiday while keeping those tiny toes cozy. They’re keepsake-worthy and practical for everyday wear.
How early should I purchase a “baby’s first Christmas” or “baby’s first Easter” outfit?
It’s never too early to plan ahead for those special “firsts”! To make sure everything arrives on time, we recommend ordering at least two weeks before the holiday. During busy seasons, shipping may take a little longer, so you can also choose express shipping for peace of mind. Each order ships within 1–3 business days.
Are holiday-themed baby outfits good for both boys and girls?
Absolutely! Our holiday bodysuits and socks are designed to be gender neutral, making them perfect for any baby. We also offer ruffle bloomers and pants options if you’d like to complete the outfit with a touch of extra charm.
What makes a “baby’s first holiday” outfit different from regular baby clothing?
You’ll celebrate many holidays together, but there’s only one first. Our holiday outfits help you pause time for just a moment — creating memories and keepsakes you’ll cherish long after they’ve outgrown their tiny clothes.
What makes a baby shower gift unique BUT also thoughtful?
Parents buy the necessities — friends and family get to buy the memories. Skip the big-box registry and choose a heartfelt gift from a small business they’ll remember long after the bottles and bibs are gone.
How do I add First Festive Footies to my baby shower gift registry?
We highly recommend using Babylist! It allows parents to include items from both big-name brands and small businesses like ours — even nontraditional gifts like meals or acts of service. You can find easy step-by-step instructions on their website: https://www.babylist.com/add-items
Are keepsake holiday baby outfits appropriate for grandparents to purchase as gifts?
Of course! Spoiling grandbabies is practically a grandparent’s duty — and what better way to do it than with a keepsake outfit that helps capture those adorable first holiday moments forever?
What size is best if I don’t know the baby’s exact birth date for a first holiday outfit?
No worries! As long as you know the baby’s birth month and whether it’s before or after the holiday, you’ll be fine. And if the size ends up being off, our return policy allows for easy exchanges. Feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help make sure your gift fits just right.
What are good baby shower gift ideas for new parents who already have basics?
Give the gift of memories! Our festive socks and outfits help parents celebrate their baby’s first holidays without the stress of planning every detail. It’s a thoughtful way to make sure those once-in-a-lifetime moments are beautifully captured and remembered.
How can a holiday baby outfit become a keepsake or memory item?
After the holiday, you can tuck the outfit or socks into a keepsake box or baby book to treasure for years. We also offer ornament kits so you can preserve baby’s tiny holiday socks as a special decoration you’ll cherish every season.
Are the holiday baby socks and outfits machine washable?
Yes! All our clothing is machine washable and can be tumble dried on low. For items with delicate details (like bows or ruffle bloomers), we recommend hang drying. Each piece includes a care label with instructions to help your keepsakes stay beautiful for years to come.
There are so many holidays, which festive socks or holiday outfits should I buy?
It’s hard to pick just one when every “first” holiday feels so special. That’s why our 8-holiday sock set is such a favorite — not only is it sold at a discounted price, it also helps parents celebrate a whole year of precious memories without missing a single milestone.
