Wow, I admire the both of you. What a lucky baby to have such great parents.
1. How about cooking for her or with her? Try out a new recipe and make it together.
2. How about picking a very nice picture of the both of you or the three of you and changing it into black and white, blow it up, and frame it. Very personal.
3. Or how about writing her a story of when you first met? In the story, tell her what you thought of her, how you were feeling, what you were excited about, write some memories down (that's what I'm asking my husband for).
4. How about scrapbooking your memories with her on Christmas night while sipping some hot chocolate and eating some cookies?
Whatever you end up doing, I'm sure she will love it, you guys already know the true value of Christmas as far as I'm concerned. Happy holidays!

In all honesty don't go spending alotta money on a 4 month old they don't know any better, all ur doing is wrapping gifts to open them up urself cuz he /she can't open it. I am 31 and can't tell u the last thing I got for christmas but to me its not about presents its just about family. So if u must get her something then cutting the babies presents will be the way to go cuz like I said they know no better, otherwise anything u do for her as well as can make for her should be just as good ...remember its the thought that counts!

Why don't you make her a lovely Christmas card? It will be special because you've spent time and effort on it and won't cost you money if you use bits and pieces from around the house. If you aren't very artistic then just cut out the shape of a christmas tree from green paper and stick it on the card, then decorate it with heart shapes cut out from different coloured pieces of paper.
Or make her some yummy sweets - there are lots of recipes for delicious things but my faves are rum truffles. You'll have to do it when she's out of the house though! Peppermint creams are very easy too, and you can cut them into heart shapes if you have a heart-cutter in the house.
Or write her some promises on nice cards - I promise to hoover for you; I promise to cook you a special dinner one night - stuff like that. She can then redeem the promises when she wants!!
I'm sure she'll be thrilled with anything if you've made an effort.

give a coupon (hand written by u) redeemable anytime convenient for u both, for: either,,, a massage, a foot massage and even cut and polish her toes, or a night out for her while you stay with the baby, or, a night when you prepare her a romantic dinner, or even just time together, cuddling, as you watch tv with the kid. the best gift you could give her, you gave her 13 months ago...your son. p.s. best gifts are those which no money can buy. ..

Fix her Christmas morning breakfast and bring it to the bed as a surprise for her. She will appreciate that, expecially if she has been dealing with a baby lately.

You can offer yourself to cook the Christmas dinner while she takes care of the baby. Trust me, she would really appreciated.
