Stocking stuffers are a favourite part of Christmas and it can be difficult to choose the perfect ones for everyone. Babies can be especially tricky. All of the small knick knacks, candy and lotions don’t really apply to them, but we still want to make baby’s first stocking a special one. But, what can you put in their stocking? Well, after some thinking, we’ve come up with 10 stocking stuffer ideas that are perfect for the newest and littlest member of your family.
1) Sensory Giraffe
This little toy is great as each leg of the giraffe has a different toy to engage different senses on baby. It can attach to strollers, car seats, high chairs, etc and is something baby will play with for many months ahead.
2) Rubber Duck Bath Thermometer
Another gift that is fun for baby and can grow with them as a toy, also helps mom and dad know what the temp of the bath water is so it isn’t too hot or cold for baby.
3) Mesh Feeder
This is great for when your little one starts solid foods. These mesh feeders allow you to give your little one tastes of all sorts of things without the fear of choking. Also, you can freeze fruits or put ice cubes inside for fussy teething babies to soothe their sore gums.
4) White Hot Infant Safety Spoons
As you start to feed baby solids these spoons will come in very handy! Not only are they sized for baby’s little mouth, but they also change colours to let you know if the food is too hot or just right.
5) Stacking Cups
Stacking cups are a classic toy for learning about everything from stacking to nesting to colours and numbers!
6) The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Good Night Moon
Reading to your little one is very important and reading is a great thing to add to the bedtime routine. The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a favourite as is Goodnight Moon. Goodnight Moon is a book that is perfect for little ones and even older children will enjoy it.
7) Training Toothbrush
With all those teeth starting to pop, this is the way perfect time to introduce baby to brushing their teeth and this soft little training toothbrush is perfect for that!
8) Fisher Price Peek-A-Blocks
These small plastic cubes come in different themed sets and have clear sides that allow baby to see what’s inside. The textured tops add to the sensory experience as well and while they can be fun for small babies to hold and look at, they’re also great for stacking and knocking over as baby grows.
9) Teething toys
These colourful and stylish necklaces are for mom and baby. They are meant to be played with while nursing and also to chew on while teething. Every mom knows that one of the first things that go into your little one’s mouth is your necklace, so you want yours to be safe and non-toxic for your baby. The unique teething necklaces are perfect for a stylish mom and baby. They also work as a great distraction for a little nursling and once the teething stage or nursing relationship has ended, mom can still wear them.
10) Finger puppets
Finger puppets are always a fun distraction for babies and are an easy toy to quickly bring along in throw in your purse or diaper bag for when you need entertainment on-the-go. They are also the perfect size to fit in your little one’s stocking.
