Best Stocking Stuffers for Baby's First Christmas

Time seems to fly when it comes to the countdown for Christmas every year, and 2024 is no different! Arguably, your baby's first Christmas is one of the most exciting times for new parents. The house is full of decor, twinkling lights and cosy evenings in front of the fireplace. 

My Christmas gift guide for baby's first Christmas will help remove the chaos of deciding what to purchase; and help you avoid filling your home with toys that often won't be used! So, let's get to it.

Best Stocking Stuffers for Baby's First Christmas

1. Colorful link rings are versatile and their different textures provide sensory input for babies. 
2. This rattle is easy to hold with colorful, flexible ends, and it’s an inexpensive option for an easy stocking stuffer.  
3. Help your baby explore their hands and feet with these adorable wrist and ankle rattles! 
4. A banana teether is easy for little hands to grasp and is perfect for introducing teeth brushing to teething babies.  
5. A sensory ball like this one is made of a variety of materials and textures and also functions as a rattle.  
6. A mix of fun and practical can make holiday shopping more manageable. This is one of my favorite first spoons while introducing solids and is a perfect stocking stuff for babies.  
7. Another practical feeding-related item is a straw cup. We love the Olababy cup! 
8. Pick up a pair of cozy fleece booties for your young baby’s stocking this year! 
9. This high-contrast sensory book is made with soft crinkle paper, and the attached hook makes it an easy on-the-go toy.  
10. For babies ready for regular toothbrushing, a first toothbrush like this one is an easy grab to top off a holiday stocking! 
11. We love these adorable spinner toys! They come in a pack of 3 and can suction to the table, a window, the fridge, etc.  
12. For the youngest babies, shoes probably aren’t necessary. But choosing a good shoe for new walkers is important. This is a great option if you’re looking for a pair for your baby!
