December 19, 2025

Parents never stop seeing their kids as babies, so this 30-year-old leaned all the way into it for his mother's Christmas gift.

He recreated a classic “baby’s first Christmas” ornament — except this time, it did not feature tiny toes.

The salt dough ornament was stamped with his own adult footprint and labeled “Baby’s 30th X-MAS”.

He shared the ornament online, and it didn’t take long for the internet — especially moms — to fall in love.

“Honestly as a mom I would request you make one of each of your siblings too because awwwwwwwwwww you’ve gotten so big!” one commenter joked.

Another added, “I’ve got three 6ft+ sons. I would die of laughter if I got this!”

Others immediately started taking notes. “This is amazing. I know what I’m doing for my mom’s Christmas gift next year,” one person wrote.

And beyond the laughs, plenty of moms admitted the ornament would actually mean a lot. “As a mother… I would absolutely treasure this,” another comment read.

It’s silly and surprisingly sweet — the kind of gift that reminds us Christmas isn’t about price tags. Sometimes, all it takes is a little creativity and a great sense of humor to make a mom’s Christmas unforgettable.
