Baby’s First Christmas Gift Ideas

Celebrate a baby’s first Christmas by getting them something as special as they are. From your baby’s first Christmas outfit to their first Christmas gifts to their first stocking stuffers, our baby’s first Christmas gift guide is filled with gift ideas that both baby and parents will love.

A baby’s first year is full of many special firsts – from special occasions to moments – and there’s something extra magical when it comes to a baby’s first Christmas. When shopping for baby’s first Christmas gift, parents usually look for something that is: 

• Safe: Babies love to put everything in their mouths to learn about the world around them. As a general safety rule to avoid choking, toys or objects given to babies should be at least 1¼" (3 centimeters) in diameter and 2¼" (6 centimeters) in length. 
• Developmentally appropriate: Babies grow so much in the first year and toys or activities can help them learn about the world and grow their brains. For example, touch-and-feel books engage a baby, help them develop vocabulary, and create better sensory awareness. 
• Long-lasting: Toys, books, or clothing items that can grow with the baby can help parents keep their babies busy and reduce their environmental impact.
