Christmas gifts for babies
Babies don't need much, and they won't remember the wrapping. The best baby gifts help them explore with hands and mouth, or make the parents' days easier.

Our appQuestions parents ask
What is a good first Christmas gift for a baby?
A sensory toy they can grab and chew, like soft stacking cups or a cloth book, plus something useful for the parents. Babies love simple things.
Are soft toys safe for babies?
Soft toys are fine for supervised play, but keep them out of the cot. For sleep, the cot should be clear and flat.
