Best Gifts For Baby’s First Christmas
I’ve rounded up a variety of gift ideas, from necessities to playtime fun. And if you are choosing to do the ‘something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read’ route, we’ve got you covered there too.
Kyte Baby
Zippered Footie
For pajamas that are not only absolutely adorable but also buttery soft, be sure to check out Kyte Baby. I have been obsessed with this brand for a couple years now, basically since I discovered them! I know you’ll just love them too. These zippered footies are cut from silky smooth rayon made from bamboo. I love the variety of colors and patterns these soft and snuggly footies come in; including a rainbow of modern, earthy colors. The stretchy material gives you the option of a snug or looser fit, while keeping baby comfortable and stylish.

Knotted Cap
Our youngest daughter LIVED in these knotted caps for the first winter of her life. She was a January baby and these caps were the perfect layer to keep her little bald head from losing too much heat. They are made from an ultra-soft bamboo rayon and this silky fabric is perfect for delicate skin, while the stretchy material accommodates a range of head circumferences. She was seriously able to wear hers for months! Plus, they come in tons of colors to match all the outfits. They are perfect for boys or girls, combining style and functionality perfectly.

Britannica
Baby Encyclopedia
Books always make a great gift and it’s never too early to start reading to baby! Check out Britannica’s Baby Encyclopedia that will help you explore big ideas through your little one’s eyes. This huge board book covers an enthralling spectrum of topics: Earth, Animals, Plants, Food, Machines, Art, Music, Numbers and Shapes. It’s solid- to hold up to baby play time. It’s colorful- to help keep kids engaged. And the simple, clear, and lyrical text includes plenty of sound words for an enjoyable reading-aloud experience, and is paired with gorgeous illustrations by Hanako Clulow.

Stonz Wear
Baby Snow Suit
If you live where the winters get cold, Stonz Wear’s Baby Snow Suit is a must have. Versatile and warm, this one-piece snow suit features: elasticated hood, polar fleece lining, easy on/off double zipper, adjustable stirrups, reflective details, and more. It can even transform from a snow suit to a bunting bag! It comes in five great colors and patters — perfect for baby boys or girls. Sizing goes from 0-6 months all the way up to 18-24 months. We’ve had this snow suit for several of our kids and fosters and it’s allowed us to bring our littles out and about to all the great winter activities available here in Minnesota. While I love this neutral grey, this snowsuit is actually available in 5 different colors.

Baby and Kids’ Pom Beanie
I love this beanie from Stonz Wear. It has the classic style we all love, with pom on top. This hat features a double layer of fabric for extreme warmth while also being soft and comfy. It’s a great layering hat that’s machine washable for easy cleaning. Available in three color options as well as three different sizes, I do suggest you size UP as I feel this hat runs small.

Unilove
Snuzii 2-In-1 Infant Lounger
For those supervised lounging moments, the Snuzii embraces your baby while providing a secure play area. This lounger is beautifully made and helps to encourage interaction, play, and connection during baby’s awake moments. (Please note, the Infant Lounger is not intended for sleeping.) I especially love how the design seems to help baby feel more secure and content than when placed directly on a wide open floor. This lounger features a breathable surface layer that allows air to circulate freely, preventing heat buildup and ensuring your baby stays cool and cozy. It also provides my toddlers with a visual boundary of baby’s space. Available four beautiful colors including: Serenity Blue, Misty Pink, Caramel Brown, and Mint Green; this lounger is super high quality.

Feed Me 3 in 1 Booster Seat
If you don’t have a booster seat for on-the-go yet, make sure you put it on your wishlist for baby’s first Christmas. This seat comes in SO handy! It’s been a lifesaver when visiting grandma or friends who don’t have a spare seat or high chair. We also find it handy for picnics, parades, holidays, and other events. Of course, you can always use this booster at home too. The Feed Me 3-in-1 seat can be adjusted to 4 different height levels, features a swivel tray, and is compact. I also love the handy travel/storage bag. Perfectly sized for babies and toddlers, a booster seat is 100% on my must-have list as a mom to seven.

VAVA
Baby Monitor with Split Screen – Model: VA-IH009
As a busy mom, I’ve found video monitors to be a sanity saver. I used to stand outside the bedroom door trying to listen for my little ones, only able to ‘guess’ if they were awake or asleep. The VAVA Baby Monitor with Split not only lets me EASILY see at a glance what kiddo is up to, it actually allows me to monitor BOTH toddlers; even though they’re in separate rooms! This split screen monitor delivers simultaneous live visuals in current time and in color.
Additional features include: audio and video monitoring, all-day battery life, automatic night vision mode, hack-free, connect-ability for up to FOUR cameras, and more. Setup is quick and easy and the 5″ monitor delivers clear video feed. You and baby will love it! It’s really opened my eyes to how much sleep our kids are truly getting.

Crawligator
Crawligator Tummy Time Toy
Babies spend a significant amount of time on their backs, but did you know it’s crucial for their development to experience a different point of view, especially TUMMY TIME? The Crawligator is a specially designed, HSA/FSA eligible, and STEM.org authenticated toy that allows babies to comfortably rest and move on their stomach in a safe and low-tech way. The contoured top matches the curvature of a baby’s body while the removable, washable pad adds comfort too. Super cute, if tummy time has been unpleasant in the past, definitely give the Crawligator a try! It’s a great tool to help get baby to love time on their tummy and hopefully alleviate flat head syndrome for some.

Comotomo
Comotomo Baby Bottle Bundle
If you haven’t yet heard of Comotomo, check them out! They are an award-winning and industry-revolutionizing brand, building great products for growing families. I adore their baby bottle line, as these bottles feature a wide mound with a naturally shaped nipple to help babies make a seamless transition from breast to bottle – and back! This makes them a great choice for babies that are fed breastmilk, formula, or both. The dual, anti-colic vents are designed to ensure proper circulation and consistent milk flow. This design also aids in eliminating unwanted air intake in an effort to prevent colic, spit-up, gas, and burping. The bottle itself is also softer and squishy, making it easy to grasp for babies and parents. These bottles get rave reviews so definitely check them out.
