Special Gift Ideas for Your Baby

By Dana Hardek November 25, 2016
Your baby probably has quite a few toy and entertainment options to keep him happy and engaged, but the holidays are the perfect excuse to pick up a few new items. Here’s a round-up of some product ideas that you can pass along to grandma or friends who are wondering what to give their favorite munchkin.
 
Yoee Baby is an adorable new toy that begins shipping just in time for baby’s first Christmas or Hanukah. It's colorful and has a soft, feathery tail that you can use to help your baby with his sensory development. It’s also a rattle and teether. Three toys in one makes this an adorable must-have. 

The aden + anais brand is a Macaroni Kid Stork favorite! Their stylish clothing line mixes spandex with cotton muslin, making this stretchy material breathable, too. New looks include a long sleeve pocket dress, jogger pants, baseball top, a henley one-piece, and knotted baby hat.
 
Real Shades are wraparound glasses that protect baby’s eyes from 100% of UV rays. They're stylish and functional, come in dozens of colors, and have shatterproof lenses and adjustable bands. Whether you live in a sunny region or plan to be enjoying the sun on vacation, this is great gift for baby. 

JJ Cole Nexus Carrier is a hybrid carrier that is supportive like a regular carrier, but is cozy like a wrap. You don’t have to worry about this carrier being adjusted properly, either — it slips on like a t-shirt. It has three positions so that you can use it for both babies and toddlers.

Forget about the stacking blocks that your parents bought years ago. Tobbles Neo, from Fat Brain Toys, has modern pieces that can be stacked and nested. The colors are bright, they’re easy to grip, and your baby will be working on her fine motor skills as she has fun.

This one's for you and your baby. Sticky Bellies Brag Blocks are photo props that can be used over and over as you capture each important milestone. Each set includes three blocks with numbers 0 through 9, plus days, weeks, months, and years, so you can use them for a long time. The blocks come in primary colors, black and white, and pink and purple. Smile and say cheese!

Summer Infant designed a travel-friendly baby entertainer, and it's genius. The Pop 'N Jump folds up, is lightweight, and doesn’t take up much room once it’s set up. It’s got a jumping feature, toys, and a support seat that can be removed. Take it anywhere to keep your baby entertained and happy.
