Recommended Christmas Gifts for 0-Year-Olds (1–10)
baby chair
If you haven’t prepared a baby chair to start using once your baby can support their head, how about giving one as a Christmas present? If it comes with a tray, I recommend a model where the tray can be attached and removed and the height can be adjusted to fit your baby’s size.
For soft chairs that can be used from the relatively early stage when head control begins, choose one that’s easy to wipe clean and hygienic.
If it’s a clip-on type that attaches to a table, look for one that can be securely fixed with ease and is convenient to carry when going out.
Don’t just focus on design—be sure to check functionality as well and choose something that can be used safely!
educational toy
Giving educational toys that support a baby’s development is a lovely idea, isn’t it? Classic examples include shape-sorting puzzles and doodle boards.
Toys with lots of interactive features and those that encourage plenty of finger movement are also considered beneficial for learning.
It’s important for parents to play together with their child using these toys.
For instance, with a doodle board, you can draw animals and teach their names—try getting creative with how you play.
Choose the most suitable educational toys according to the baby’s age in months.
building blocks
If you want to help develop a child’s creativity, how about giving building blocks as a gift? With blocks, they can build thinking skills while having fun, and it also helps with finger dexterity.
If the child tends to put toys in their mouth, it’s best to choose ones made from gentle, safe materials.
If you’d like them to enjoy the toy for a long time, large sponge blocks might be a good option.
Please choose blocks that suit the baby’s personality.
Also, when selecting blocks, make sure the corners aren’t sharp.

swaddle (baby wrap)
For those looking for items that soothe newborns, a swaddle makes a great Christmas present.
Gently wrapping the baby’s whole body gives them the sense of security they felt in the mother’s womb.
It also helps when holding the baby and is useful for calming and relaxing them.
Plus, on cold winter days, it can help keep their body warm.
It’s a practical gift that also highlights just how adorable the baby looks.
bath supplies
When bathing with a baby, there are lots of things to keep an eye on—like never taking your eyes off them and trying to prevent any accidents.
That’s why bath items make great Christmas presents for babies.
Gifts like a neck float that lets them bob around in the water or an inflatable pool are sure to delight them.
A bouncer that’s handy after bath time, or a Bumbo seat or walker for waiting in the changing area are also recommended.
Be sure to check out items that ease parents’ worries while letting babies have fun.
Activity book
An activity book where children can look at the illustrations and interactive features, touch them, and play.
Many have no written text, making them perfect as Christmas gifts for newborns.
Kids can enjoy elements like textured animal fur and pop-up books and pouches that spring into three-dimensional shapes.
It’s also recommended to read a story to your baby inspired by the book’s content.
Choose picture books made from soft materials so babies can enjoy them safely.
Check out gifts that lead to learning as they play.
rattle toy
I think many people give babies rattles.
But because babies are always holding and licking them, rattles tend to get worn out quickly.
So why not give a new rattle as a Christmas present? Choosing an unusual type—like a wooden one or a uniquely shaped one—is a great idea, too.
Making a rattle yourself is also recommended.
There are even websites that provide patterns for those who aren’t confident with sewing, so be sure to check them out.
