New Baby Holiday Gift Guide

Yay! I am so excited to bring you my specially curated New Baby Holiday Gift Guide! This list is full of classic gifts perfect for little ones or expectant parents. I tried to find special, keepsake items from small shops as well as easy-shipping retailers like Nordstrom and Amazon Prime. You will surely find something you’ll love on this new baby holiday gift guide!

1 // Lovevery Activity Play Mat

Luca LOVES this mat, we have been using it since birth and it has been one of our most used items. I love how interactive this mat is and there is something for every developmental phase, especially during baby’s first year. They also include a super informative month-by-month guide on how to help your baby use the mat! (Amazon, $140)

2 // Terry Velour Hooded Bath Towel

How cute is this duck towel? Or really any animal bath towel on a baby? Hooded elephant or lamb or giraffe?? Yes please!! (Nordstrom, $36)

3 // Chenille Blanket for Baby

Let’s be real, the softer the blanket the better! This one is super soft, made of chenille and it comes in pink or blue as well! It makes the perfect gift for a new baby! (Nordstrom, $35)

4 // Cuddle & Kind Hand-Knit Doll

I love these dolls and I love the mission and sweet family behind this company! They donate 10 meals to children in need for every doll sold. There’s a few options (Luca has Stella the Polar Bear) and sizes! (Nordstrom, $52-$75)

5 // Sophie ‘La Girafe’ Bath Toy

Everyone (or every baby) loves Sophie! And I had no idea about the bath toy version, I think it’s adorable and it is of course made of organic rubber like the other Sophies! (Nordstrom, $20)

6 // Finn + Emma Wood Rattle Teether

Or really anything from Finn + Emma! I love this shop so much – we have bibs, toys and clothes from them and they are some of the highest quality/cutest I’ve come across yet! Sign up for their newsletter and save 5%! (Finnandemma.com, $12)

7 // Hooded Bunting for Baby

Perfect for the colder months surrounding the holidays! Plus how cute with those little ears on the hood!? (Nordstrom, $45)

8 // Mini & Meep Organic Cotton Onesie

This is my absolute favorite small shop for onesies! Their clothes are made here in the US and they use 100% organic cotton. Not to mention the designs are one-of-a-kind hand-painted designs!

9 // Pottery Barn Kids Personalized Llama Plush Rocker

HOW CUTE!? Pottery Barn Kids has a bunch of little rockers like this but I’m obsessed with this Llama because it’s the theme of Luca’s nursery – you don’t see llamas everywhere and I think this rocker is super unique! (Pottery Barn, $189)

10 // Little Unicorn Muslin Blanket 3-Pack

I have tons of these muslin blankets and they have proven to be SO useful throughout all seasons! I chose this pack specifically because they are farm-themed! (Nordstrom, $38)

11 // Wooden Activity Cube

Luca is about ready to start pulling up to standing so I am planning on getting him one of these for Christmas. These cubes are great for babies’ development! (Target, $49)

12 // Chewable Charm Silicone & Wood Teether Ring

A must on any new baby holiday gift guide is a teether ring! This teething ring is super stylish AND functional! That is a super win in my book!! Plus Luca has three of these and loves them, the rubber and wood in the same toy really helps! (Chewablecharm.com, $24)

13 // Freshly Picked Soft Sole Moccasins

These little moccasins are adorable, they’re not cheap but that is why they make a great gift! And they would also be super cute for photos! (Nordstrom, $49) Click here for the Freshly Picked direct link!

14 // Cable Knit Hat for Baby

This hat is so cute and super affordable! I love a baby in a good pom-pom hat and covering the ears is so key for the colder months – they keep baby warm AND the hat actually stays on their head! (H&M, $13)

Honorable Mentions: New Baby Holiday Gift Guide

Do you have a new baby or are expecting? Check out this new baby holiday gift guide with unique, but practical gift ideas for your special bundle of joy!

Milk Snob Crib Sheet and Changing Pad Cover

Luca doesn’t spend a ton of time in his crib but that doesn’t mean I can’t get him the SOFTEST sheets around! Seriously, can Milk Snob make adult bed sized sheets!? These things are a DREAM. Plus they come in lots of cute and stylish patterns! (Milksnob.com, $28)

Rambler LA Portable Mat

We have and use this mat every day! It is made by the small shop RamblerLA and is SUPER soft, kind of micro-fibery. Plus it’s portable (folds up into a small ring and comes with a travel bag), we bring it whenever we visit friends or family so Luca has a place to roll around! (RamblerLA.com, $109)

Bannor Toys Handcrafted Wooden Tractor

Every toy from this incredible company is handcrafted and truly beautiful. They are collectibles and keepsakes that your baby will have forever! I love the customization option as well – you can get a name engraved on most items making them even more special. I would definitely browse around – we got Luca this limited edition tractor just after he was born as well as this circle stacker and this block set. (Bannortoys.com, $15)
