If you’re celebrating your baby’s first holiday season, you’ll want to make it magical. But let’s be honest: shopping for babies can be a challenge. They really don’t need much, aside from the essentials you probably already have. 

If you’re asking yourself, “What do you get a baby for their first Christmas?” we’ve got you covered! Whether you’re shopping for your own baby or another sweet little one who’s dear to you, make sure your list includes these holiday gift ideas for babies 0-3 months that will make the experience merry and bright.

1. A special lovey

One of our favorite baby gift ideas for boys and girls is a sweet, snuggly lovey! The holiday loveys collection from Itzy Ritzy Itzy are sure to become an instant BFF for your little one! Itzy Ritzy Holiday Lovey, Jolly the Reindeer is crafted with a soft sherpa fabric and features textured ribbons that babies will love to explore! The arms include a crinkly fabric that’s sure to keep the baby entertained with the gentle sound it produces. A textured snowflake teether is attached to help massage and soothe sore gums.

2. A handy teether

When it comes to finding good gift ideas for baby, think about where they are developmentally. Many are in the midst of or about to start teething. Sore gums are no match for the Itzy Ritzy Teething Mitt! Itzy Ritzy teething mitts are safe on baby’s gums, and the glove design keeps the baby from getting scratches on their face. It's also ideal for babies who can’t yet hold a teether. These teething mitts feature a crinkle sound to keep your baby occupied and are made of textured food-grade silicone to help massage sore gums and provide relief to emerging teeth. The texture also helps your baby discover and explore new senses. 

3. A warm minky pram

Nestle baby quickly and quietly in the Magnetic Me Drizzle with Ditzy Star Lining Minky Magnetic Pram with amazing magnetic closures that make dressing convenient and easy. It's made of an ultra-warm, minky fleece shell and completely lined with organic cotton that's soft and gentle on baby's skin. It’s also roomy enough to add layers underneath, which makes it a pram that will last you from fall to spring—whether on snowy walks or chilly playground playdates.

4. A personal gym

Your little one will love exploring the shapes on the soft black and white book or marveling at their own reflection in the mirror. The spacious and cozy play area lets babies stretch and experiment with movement and rolling over. 

5. Soothing pacifiers

10. A cozy blanket

This cozy blanket is silky soft and keeps your little one cozy as they get bigger.

The softness of baby alpaca fiber feels almost like cashmere, but it’s more eco-friendly and sustainable. Choose from natural grey or cream palettes, both with endless subtle tonal variations reflecting the qualities of the sea and sky.
