The holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year, especially when there’s a baby in the family. Whether it’s your own child, a niece, nephew, or the baby of a close friend, it’s really fun shopping for baby’s first Christmas. Babies may not understand the holidays and would be happy with a box and wrapping paper, but we buy them gifts anyway. When looking for a gift for a new baby, the best person to ask is a mom. I’ve been a new mom 3 times now, and know what babies actually use, and what parents actually want. I own most of the items on this list – some small baby toys and a few splurges, and included a few new-to-me baby essentials that you’ll love. From clothes and toys to a few practical things every baby needs, these are the best gifts for babies in 2024. See the rest of my gift guides here.

Look for such as sensory toys or interactive books, which keep babies engaged and are great for their development. Cozy blankets and knits are ideal for the colder months, and toys and books are always wonderful. Or choose something wonderful, like a photo book or keepsake box for baby’s first mementos.
