Baby’s First Christmas 2020 Gift Guide
Shopping for Christmas gifts is not easy even for a baby. Although they don’t really need anything how can you resist the Christmas spirit of gift giving. The holidays become so much more special when you add children into the mix.
So what do you get a baby for their first Christmas? This depends slightly on age because a 1 month old is at a completely different stage then a 10 month old. Most of the items below will work for any age under 1 but there may be a few that will only work for certain ages.
In addition, I always try and find items that provide value such as a toy that will last, something that is educational or an item that will simply make life easier. With that being said, I have compiled a list of the 25 best baby gift ideas!

2. Munchkin Barnyard Friends Bath Toys
These bath toys work great as a stocking stuffer. They are adorable and so fun for your little one.

Chunky wood puzzles have become one my favorite gifts. Your baby can start by simply playing with the wood animals, letters, numbers or whatever fun puzzle you find. Then when they get older they can use it as a puzzle.

Another great stocking stuffer are these cute fruit themed teethers that can be put in the freezer. Both my kids loved these and really helped when they were teething.

You can never have too many books! This classic board book is one of my favorites.

These bibs are THE BEST. They are very easy to clean and they catch all of the food that doesn’t quite make it into your baby’s mouth. This is definitely one of those make your life easier products.

Another great Christmas gift idea for your baby is this super adorable stuffed animal by baby GUND. They play peek-a-boo and sing in the most adorable voice. There are a few other animals to choose from as well.

The one thing I wish I did more of is getting professional pictures taken. Photography sessions can get pretty pricey so this makes for a great gift.
23. Anything you did not get from your registry
You might have had a December baby or one close to it. If so, you may still have items that you did not get on your registry which you can add to your babies Christmas list.
24. College Fund / Savings
Since your baby does not yet know what is going on this is a good opportunity to put money in a college fund or savings account in lieu of gifts. It is never too early to start saving!
25. Baby’s First Christmas Ornament
Last but not least, you cannot forget the classic “Baby’s First Christmas” Ornament. This is something you will enjoy seeing every year as you decorate the Christmas tree. Here are some adorable options below that are customizable:
