Do you have a baby under 1 year old and are stumped on what to get them for Christmas? Maybe you know exactly what to get them but all the grandparents are asking for ideas! Like so many of you I’m tempted to just ask for diapers and wipes LOL but here are some great ideas you can use or give others in your family for your sweet babe!
Most of these gifts are tried and true. Also my 4 year old still uses a lot of these items and some continue to hold his interest whether he’s playing alone or with his baby sister!
KiwiCo subscriptions for ages newborn all the way to 100! Toys, crafts, and more delivered each month with fun brain building activities. My daughter had the panda crate for 6 months when she was a baby and all the items were such nice quality!
Indestructible Books: These books are chew proof, rip proof, non toxic, and WASHABLE. One of my favorite toys to bring on the go. That way when your baby drops it somewhere you can throw it in the wash with your clothes when you get home! This makes a great gift or stocking stuffer and is really affordable! This one always makes our gift guide for babies!
Silicone Toy: One of the hottest new toys is this silicone teething string toy. Keeps baby busy for awhile pulling the silicone safe strings. Perfect for roadtrips!
Silicone Nesting Bowls: I love toys that withstand the test of time. My 7 month old, 2 year, and 5 year old ALL play with these! Whether biting on them, using them for doll food, or playing in the bath/ sand these are easy to clean and hold up well.
Mushie Stacking Rings: A classic toy that will last longer than the year. Great for brain devlopment, learning size, order, and more!
Uncle Goose Blocks: Made in Michigan baby blocks. Made of wood and hold up really well to baby and toddler play. They have fun designs from ocean animals, to letters, to flowers, to space!
Personalized Name Puzzle: Such a nice personalized gift that they can play with for a long time.
BusyBaby Play/ Eating Mat: Suctions to the table, holds toys and snacks to keep baby busy while you cook dinner or get some cleaning done!
Bumkins Sleeved Bib: The perfect apron with pockets for messy eating or crafts! Safe for the washing machine and easy to put on/off.
Wearable Blanket: I bought these last year for my daughter and loved them! The cotton is super soft and the sleeves have cuffs to keep her little hands warm at night. We bought the 3-9 month size when she was 3 months and it will definitely last for awhile! I love that she has room to kick around and roll over still if she chooses. Best part, you can grab 2 for around $12-$15 depending on the print!
Zutano Booties: The best baby booties that don’t fall off! Reneforced with snaps and super warm and cozy. They have sherpa, fleece, and organic cotton options in some of the sweetest prints!
Hooded Towel: 100% organic cotton hooded towel for a spa like experience after the bath. Baby deserves it!
A few more ideas! Tummy time mirror, water mat, silicone or rubber teethers, sophie the giraffe! You can find more ideas for older babies here in our toddler gift guide!
In a nutshell, baby gifts are all about spreading love and joy. It’s not about the price tag, but the thought and sentiment you put into it. From cute clothes to practical gear, there are plenty of options to make new parents smile. So, take your time, add your personal touch, and make it special. Your gift doesn’t have to be fancy; it just needs to come from the heart. Happy gifting!
