We all know it can be difficult having a birthday during the holidays, but kids with January birthdays often feel the effects of “holiday hangover.” We adults are usually worn out from all the holiday parties and chaos, not to mention all the spending, but a little one’s enthusiasm for their special day doesn’t wane. So to make it easier on you, we’ve found some quick and easy party décor and gift ideas. And because garnets are January’s birthstone, we’ve used that rich color as inspiration to put together our collection of decor ideas, personalized baby gifts, cake inspiration, and 1st birthday shirts below. Enjoy!
