Giving gifts is one of the best parts of the holidays, especially when it's baby toys you're wrapping for under the tree. Whether you're looking for something special for your own baby or interested in giving a gift to friends and family for their babies, baby toys are the perfect holiday gift to give. There are lots of varieties of baby toys, each with a different purpose. The following tips can help you choose the best baby gifts to give this Christmas or Hanukkah.

Best Holiday Baby Gifts:

  1. Stuffed animals: There's hardly a cuter baby toy than a stuffed animal. They're adorable, soft and perfect for babies to snuggle with. Soft stuffed animals can be given to babies of nearly age, since they don't have any hard pieces for babies to hurt themselves with. Look for cute holiday-theme stuffed animals, like reindeer and polar bears, for the perfect baby gift for the holidays.

  2. Educational toys: Give the gift of learning with educational toys for baby to play with. Learning toys with lights, sounds and textures help teach babies hand-eye coordination while simultaneously keeping them entertained. An educational toy is a great holiday gift because it can grow with the baby, continually challenging and educating him.

  3. Rattles and teethers: When you have a fussy, teething baby, a teether can be a lifesaver. Even if your baby isn't teething, babies love to chew on and play with teethers and rattles, making them one of the staple baby toys. Give new parents a teether and rattle set or buy fun new toys for your own baby to enjoy this holiday season.

  4. Mobiles: When baby lies down for the night or for naps throughout the day, a baby mobile can help calm him so he can sleep. If you're looking for something fun and functional to give as a baby gift for the holidays, consider a mobile. You can even look for mobiles with cute holiday or winter themes.

  5. Wooden toys: Classic wooden toys are perfect for the holidays. Look for trains, sleighs and reindeer on wheels to entertain your baby during the holidays. Many parents prefer wooden toys with nontoxic finishes to plastic toys for their environmental and health benefits. For the eco-conscious family, look for cute wooden baby toys to give for the holidays.
