We have small babies, and it's Christmas time, it's best to be a minimalist when decorating for safety reasons. When wrapping gifts, just use wrap. Stay away from decorating the gift wrap with bows, with ribbon that could pose a strangulation hazard, any type of tape that they could ingest and choke upon. Don't decorate the gifts with ornaments; the child will have access to that and if they are glass, they could break and choke. It's just not safe. So it's easier to go with, again, less is more with the Christmas holiday.
