Experience “Baby’s First Christmas” at Babies R Us With In-Store Events & Twitter Party #BRUChristmas #FirstHoliday

Disclosure:  I received a gift card in exchange for sharing this information and my honest opinion.

Babies“R”Us is a store that I automatically think of when it comes to babies and new moms.  Its funny how before I had kids I had never really been in one but as soon as I become pregnant it became a store I stopped at regularly.  I seem to always be able to find what I need there and there are so many products I had never knew exsisted but glad I came across!  They are a store that really knows babies.

Check out the Babies“R”Us in-store events

Don’t miss the Babies“R”Us in-store events to help your baby celebrate their first Christmas (or second Christmas…)!  You can meet up with other moms and dads, take part in memorable activities including storytime, adorable photo opps and make a craft.  Attendees will receive the all-new Baby’s First Christmas Gift Guide, which features a curated assortment of items sorted by a baby’s age range and developmental stage. Its a one-hour event and if its anything like the Babies “R” Us Halloween event they hosted it will be a great time!  The celebration is geared towards babies of all stages in their first year with two more upcoming events:

• Saturday, November 15: Babies born in April, May, June and July 2014
• Saturday, November 22: Babies born in August, September, October and November 2014

If parents are unable to attend the event dedicated to their baby’s birth month, they’re welcome to join another event date that works best for their family. For more information, customers can contact their local Babies“R”Us store or visit Babiesrus.com/FirstChristmas.
