There's nothing more magical than your baby's first Christmas, from watching their face light up as they see Christmas lights for the first time and taking them to see Santa to watching your favorite Christmas movie together or even experiencing their first snow. You'll no doubt want to make the festive season as special as possible for your little one.
If your baby is six months or older at Christmastime, you'll likely have an easier time buying presents for them as they'll have a better understanding of items and can play with toys more. However, if your baby is under six months, you may struggle to find suitable gifts that are practical and fun.
Luckily, we're here to help and have put together this list of gift ideas for your baby's first Christmas that will be perfect for both younger and older babies.
1. Silicone Teether
Silicone teething toys will make an ideal gift for your child's first Christmas. Teething can start anywhere from two to three months old and is often an uncomfortable time for your little one. Not only do teething toys relieve pain and allow a safe surface to chew on, but they're also a great way to keep your baby busy and entertained. Our Geo Zoo Silicone Teether offers fun and colorful animal shapes that will appeal to your baby's senses.
2. NanaNubs Banana Massaging Toothbrush
When your baby's first tooth has emerged, it's important to encourage good dental hygiene straight away. So, their first toothbrush will be a great gift to give. Our NanaNubs Banana Massaging Toothbrush is suitable for babies who are 3+ months old and features soft, massaging bristles that gently clean gums and soothe new teeth. It also doubles up as a teether, giving your child something comfortable to chew on.
3. Water Bottle For Toddlers
For older babies who may be entering toddlerhood in the next year, giving them their very own water bottle will be the start of an important milestone and transition period as they start to move from a bottle to a cup. Water bottles, like our Thirsty Kids BOOST Flex Straw Water Bottle, are available in plenty of different designs and colors that will appeal to your child, making them excited to use it properly later on.
4. Silicone Easy Grip Spoons
If your baby is starting to eat solid food, giving them their own Silicone Easy Grip Spoons will make them feel very grown up. These spoons are designed with little hands in mind to make it easy for your child to hold and learn how to feed themselves. With a fun character design and dots along the spoon, they'll also help provide sensory awareness.
5. Fruitsicles Ice Pop Tray
A Fruitsicles Ice Pop Tray is perfect for making your little one some homemade treats. As the weather gets warmer in the spring after Christmas, an ice pop tray will provide a fun activity you can do together. It's also a great way to be creative with new foods, introduce different textures and flavors, and even help soothe teething babies.
6. Baby's 1st Bath Book
Bath time is an important part of any child's routine, and you can help make it more fun by giving them Baby's 1st Bath Book! With waterproof pages full of fun and vibrant underwater-themed pictures and a surprise squeaker, your baby will be thoroughly entertained while getting clean.
7. Motion and Sound Plush
A motion and sound plush toy is an ultra-cuddly, soothing toy that newborns and older babies will love. With adorable characters like an elephant, beaver, and fox, this soft toy plays eight popular lullabies and white noise while producing a soft glow from its heart to help your child drift peacefully to sleep. Take a look at our Little Looker Bundle - the perfect gift set for your child.
8. Wooden Baby Walker
Your baby will be walking before you know it! A Wooden Baby Walker makes for a great Christmas gift. When children take their first steps, they'll need plenty of support to help their confidence, which is where the sturdy walker comes in to build leg and core strength. This walker also features many other fun activities, such as a xylophone and shape sorter for your child to play and learn with, even if they’re not quite ready to take their first steps.
9. Kids' Ball Pit for Home with 200 Balls
Every child will light up in excitement at the sight of a home ball pit with 200 balls for Christmas. While recommended for ages 10+ months, this fun toy is one they can grow into as they engage in more play time! With a sleek and modern design, this ball pit will look good in every home, and as the walls are soft and sturdy, you won't need to worry about your little one getting any bumps or bruises. Your child will enjoy hours of endless fun at home with this gift.
10. Reversible Floor Mat
A Reversible Floor Mat will make tummy time and floor play for your baby safe and comfy. Easy to use, this mat conveniently folds up and can be stored in the travel bag so you can take it with you anywhere, whether you're visiting a friend's house or going on holiday. With two fun patterns on each side, you can change up your child's space and give them a soft space for them to play and learn.
