Top 28 Baby Gift Ideas 2022

From teethers to personalized name puzzles, here is a list of the best baby gifts your little babe is sure to love.

Baby's first Christmas


Babies may not look like they are doing much aside from sleeping and eating, but their first year is full of all kinds of development. Babies love toys that engage them with a lot of contrast they are able to see and sounds they can hear.

Make sure to buy age-appropriate toys as babies tend to explore with their mouths, so look for toys that are not a choking hazard.

Finding the right gifts can be a challenge. You don't want something that will overstimulate them, but you want something that will keep their attention. I've taken the guesswork out of your holiday shopping! Take a look at my top gift ideas for babies.
