Our Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for Babies Two & Under
When you have children, dreaming of Christmas is something you all do. The photos, the presents, the memories, the magic! If you’re buying for an infant under two, don’t get too carried away. These sweet little babies have no idea it’s Christmas: you could give them an empty box and they would be thrilled!
Of course we know that’s not what we’re going to do. Whether we are the mom, in-laws, auntie, or grandparents, we cannot wait to buy something for the baby! We are going to spread that Christmas magic and watch their faces light up when they see something new.
Here are some of our favorite gifts for babies two and under – and guess what mama? They’re really great gifts for you, too!
Our ultimate sleep consultant approved holiday gift guide for babies two and under:
Montessori Boxes from Monti Kids
Now, even though we know the little cuties in your life would love to play with the box their presents came in, you can help to nurture their visual skills, motor development, concentration, physical coordination, body awareness and more with a Level 1 or Level 2 Montessori Box, like these from Monti Kids. Did you know that 85% of your child’s brain is formed by the age of three? These amazing boxes help with fun, interactive, age appropriate activities and they look timeless as well.
Memory Sets from Lucy Darling
Lucy Darling helps new parents create darling gifts with simple and easy memory sets! Our favorite set includes a memory book, blanket and teether. Not only are the designs modern, colorful, and attractive, but the teethers are textured and gum soothing. Perfect for a baby struggling with teething!
Yogasleep Sound Machines
While the little one in your life is soothing for sleep, a Yogasleep Sound Machine is a gift that keeps on giving. From carolers to loud neighbors to the excitement of the holidays when traveling, one of our favorite white noise machines will help keep the babies in your life sleeping by drowning out the sounds of your holiday party with ambient noise.
Sheets and Swaddles from Rookie Humans
Like most moms, I love a sleeping baby and I’ve taken hundreds of photos of my little ones sleeping. My husband has affectionately nicknamed me Sleep Creep! If you or the new parents in your life are like me and love these pictures, make sure the background is cute with sheets or swaddles from Rookie Human. Their prints are adorable and they often feature sets just for the holidays like our current favorite, the Snowy Day print.
Dreamland Weighted Baby Sleep Sacks
We also love Dreamland Baby Sleep Sacks to swaddle your little one into sweet sleep. Their weighted blankets and sleep sacks are approved by our team to keep your sleeping babe feeling safe and secure, meaning they’re more likely to have deeper, higher quality sleep!
Newton Baby Mattresses
While the baby is sleeping, make sure they’re safe with a Sleep Coach approved Newton Baby Mattress. These mattresses are 100% breathable AND machine washable! Whether you’re gifting your little one or a mom in your life, this is a present you will be thankful for during your little one’s growth. Can we repeat that the mattress is machine washable?
MakeMake Play Mats
If we aren’t squealing over how cute babies are while they’re sleeping, we can’t wait to play with them and help them develop. MakeMake produces adorable organic cotton quilted play mats that go from minimal to colorful depending on which side you choose to use.
Baby Aspen Stuffies
While you’re playing with the little one, let them develop their grip and motor skills with Baby Aspen’s Mrs. Soc T. Pus Plus Plus Octopus with 4 pairs of socks. This adorable octopus stuffy rattles and comes with four pairs of no slip grip socks your baby can share with their favorite toy.
Boon Bath Toys
When you aren’t playing in the house, you can play in the bathtub with Boon Bath Toys. These bright and colorful water safe toys look like jellyfish, suction onto the walls of the tub, and can double as a place to hang a wet wash-cloth after bath time is finished. We love products that have dual use!
Freshly Picked Moccasins
Finally, we know the parents in your life will love Freshly Picked Moccasins with their adorable styles ready to make any outfit perfect. As a bonus, Freshly Picked has footwear for different stages of your little one’s journey with soft soles and hard soles, and adorable diaper bags perfect for your active lifestyle.
We know you will love these gifts as much as the mama in your life getting them!
Best of all, they’re all tested and approved by consultants on our team for the perfect holiday gifts for your babies that are two and under.
