Celebrate Baby's First Christmas with These Sweet Gifts

The first year of a baby's life flies by and that's reason enough to spoil them with lots of gifts. Before you know it, it will be time to shop for 1 year old gifts. The best gifts for babies are ones that help them sleep, stimulate them, and encourage them to play. We have rounded up baby toys, nursery essentials, and mealtime necessities. Peruse our picks for the best toys for one year olds and newborns. A lot of the options have sensory elements that will make for a great learning experience. Other toys encourage motor skills by promoting crawling (and eventually walking). Most importantly, these picks will grow with your baby, so they can enjoy them well into toddlerhood.

Consider a practical gift that will help out the parents and not end up at the bottom of a toy box. We found teethers that will soothe gums. After growing new pearly whites, mealtimes are sure to get even more interesting (and messy)! Those messes are no match for silicone bibs and bowls. There are also a few fashion items to make sure your baby is outfitted in the cutest duds. Although shopping for a new babies is fun, don't forget to pick up some new mom gifts. And if this is baby's first Christmas, consider putting baby's first Christmas ornament on the tree.
