Gifts for Babies
Our gift guide
Finding the perfect toy for a newborn can feel overwhelming—there are so many options, and it’s hard to know what’s truly beneficial for those earliest months of development. That’s why we put together this guide: to help parents and gift-givers discover toys that are not only safe and engaging but also support sensory, motor, and cognitive growth. From soft, cuddly companions to simple activity toys that encourage exploration, these carefully selected picks are designed to delight both babies and their caregivers.
Koala Discovery Hanging Toy
The Koala Discovery Hanging Toy is a sensory-rich companion designed to stimulate your newborn’s curiosity. With 16 textured attachments — including crinkle leaves, rattling rings, stretchy tags, and a teething element — it supports early fine motor skills and tactile exploration. Hanging from a car seat, crib, or stroller, it’s great for visual tracking and developing cause-and-effect understanding as babies bat at or tug on each piece. Plus, the cuddly koala can be removed, making it a soft comfort item when it’s time to snuggle.
The Play Gym
This award-winning Play Gym from Lovevery is thoughtfully designed by child development experts to grow with your baby through their first year. It features five developmental zones, plus detachable activity toys and stage-based play cards to guide parents in supporting key milestones — from batting and grasping to tummy time and visual focus. The soft mat offers a high-contrast pattern that’s perfect for newborn visual development, while tummy-time play helps build core strength, neck control, and early hand-eye coordination.
Baby Mozart – A Classical Music Sound Book
This charming Baby Mozart sound book offers a gentle, musical introduction to the world of classical music, with six magical melodies that play when baby turns the pages. Listening to these soothing tunes can help support early auditory stimulation, strengthen neural connections, and encourage emotional regulation. Research suggests that exposure to complex classical compositions helps develop memory, spatial reasoning, and even early language skills.
Animal Discovery Cubes
These soft, fabric Animal Discovery Cubes are perfect for little hands to grab, squeeze, and explore. Each cube has a different animal design and tactile surface, which supports sensory development and color and shape recognition. As babies grow, parents can introduce animal names and encourage language development. The cubes also encourage early motor skills like grasping and stacking, making them a sweet first block set that feels gentle and safe.
Valais Sheep Bamboo Zipper Pajama
Wrap your newborn in cozy softness with these Valais Sheep Bamboo Zipper Pajamas. Made from breathable bamboo fabric, they help regulate temperature to keep baby comfortable through overnight changes. The cute sheep design adds visual delight (perfect for tummy time smiles!), while the easy zipper supports quick diaper changes — reducing fuss and making nighttime more calm for both baby and caregiver.
