Holiday Gifting for Baby Girls

Toys

While her parents may appreciate toys with a special sensory or educational focus, you can be sure she’ll love the simple stuff, too. Here’s a peek at our favorites for your baby girl Christmas gift list.

For Her Development

Play is key to a baby’s sensory, social, and spatial learning. So, when you choose developmental toys as Christmas gifts, you can be sure to bring some holiday cheer to both the baby and her parents.

Some of our favorite options for promoting enrichment and fun include:

• This natural rattle and teether grasping activity toy that features sliding beads and a bendable structure. Plus, it’s made from undyed, sustainable wood so you can rest assured it’s safe for baby.
• These Petilou Sensory Shapes help build sensorimotor skills with colorful pieces and adorable illustrations.
• Tiger Tribe’s chew-safe Sensory Spinners encourage the development of fine motor skills.
• This celestial-themed wooden activity center promotes cause-and-effect learning and an active imagination.

With just one gift, you can help the precious baby girl in your life make leaps and bounds in her development while putting a smile on her face. To that end, here are a few other exciting Christmas gift ideas that promote development through play:

Musical Toys

Studies show that when babies listen to or participate in making music, they experience a ton of benefits, like increased mental and physical precision, and even reduced stress levels.

This means musical toys can be excellent Christmas gifts for baby girl—especially if they come in whimsical shapes, like:

• This bird-shaped xylophone
• These maraca-like musical eggs

Playing music for baby is certainly brain-healthy, but letting her get in on the musical action herself can be even more rewarding.

Walkers

Loved by little ones and parents alike, walkers are a tried-and-true baby gift that promotes fun and growth. You can even take the enrichment one step further by choosing a walker that features built-in baby activities, like the Sunshine Baby Activity Walker or this best-selling Baby Walker from Gathre.  

For Fun

Aside from toys for development, there are loads of classic baby girl Christmas gifts, like plushies and soft dolls, that can spark smiles and magic.

Cuddly Friends

You can never go wrong with a friendly face like Mon Ami’s Caldwell the Crab. Plushies like these not only provide comfort but also offer a sense of companionship.

Some plushie friends can even double as another kind of toy, like this whimsical octopus rattle from Meri Meri.

Soft Toys and Games

Is your baby girl getting ready for narrative play? If so, she may love a soft, sweet playset like Cottontail Cottage from Manhattan Toy. Soft doll sets like these provide a helpful baby step toward toddler playtime.

Soft books like this Mini Apple Farm from Manhattan Toy also offer fabulous colors, textures, and charming little surprises.

Clothes

The little lady in your life may be too young to fully appreciate a new one-piece or festive dress, but since babies outgrow clothes rather quickly, mom and dad are sure to be grateful for any wardrobe additions this holiday season.

Consider helping them build an adorable winter clothing collection with:

• Holiday dresses
• Baby-sized snowsuits
• Holiday-themed sweaters
• Warm booties
• Embroidered holiday one-pieces and pajama sets

For the Parents

While the best baby girl Christmas gift ideas are often for baby herself, there are also some thoughtful options you may want to pick up for mom and dad.

For instance, if you want to tap into the sweetness of baby’s first Christmas, consider this baby keepsake vault. It’s perfect for storing reminders of big firsts, as well as outgrown shoes, clothes, and other items.

Other heartfelt gift ideas that mom and dad (and even baby!) can look back on for years to come include:

• This personalized heirloom baby cup, complete with modern engraving

A bracelet set she can share with mom or dad
