Christmas for Isaac

I am having a major dilemma about what to get Isaac for Christmas. It's one thing to send a big list to the grandparents and everyone else, but it's another thing entirely to sit down and try to think about what I would like to give my first child on his first Christmas. See? It sounds so heavy, so laden with importance, like I need to get him something extremely significant. Never mind that said significance would be lost on him -- this is important, right? I am also wary of the inevitable toy/clothing avalanche that will be coming from the grandparents. There is a part of me that leans heavily towards savings bonds, or just throwing a big bunch of money in a CD or something for him. There is a funky part of me that has fallen in love with the idea of punk baby clothes. Should I crochet him a cap for our long walks outside? Ach, the dilemma.

And then there's his stocking. Dad and I bought our stockings a long time ago at Marshall's (and one for cat-brother, too) -- they are tastefully decorated, mine a bit more garish than his, without our names on them. I am really, really tempted to buy Isaac a personalized stocking from LL Bean -- at my mom & dad's, everybody has a stocking with their name on it hung around the fireplace, something I really enjoy, although I also like that Dad and I picked our stockings out ourselves. We went to Marshall's yesterday with the intent to buy a stocking for Isaac, but all they had were either sumptuous tapestry ones (those scream BABY! Not.) or goofy felt ones that would probably not make it to another Christmas. More dilemmas. What would you guys do if you were me? Can't tell that I like the informed-decision pathway, can you?
