Christmas Baby Outfits and Accessories
(#ad)
You can never go wrong with Christmas gifts for baby like a festive outfit or a sweet holiday accessory. Whether you choose a complete Christmas outfit for a baby girl or boy, or just a single piece such as a bodysuit, bib, or hat, these gifts always bring joy.
If Christmas falls during the cold season where you live, opt for a long-sleeved Christmas outfit to keep your little one warm. It would be a pity to cover a cute short-sleeved onesie with a sweater! But if you are celebrating in a warmer region, short sleeves are the perfect choice.
Christmas outfits for babies often come with festive prints and messages like "Baby's First Christmas" or "Santa's Little Helper". Many can even be personalized with the baby’s name and year, a thoughtful touch that makes your gift extra special.
You can also choose festive baby accessories such as Christmas bibs, hats, socks, or booties. For baby girls, sparkly holiday headbands and hair bows add an extra dose of charm.
And here's another bonus: gifting a Christmas outfit or accessory means the family will have adorable holiday photos to treasure, a keepsake that will be cherished for years.
Family Christmas Outfits
How about taking your Christmas gifts for baby to the next level by dressing the whole family in matching outfits? Imagine mom, dad, siblings, grandparents, and even your pets, all wearing coordinated holiday looks for an unforgettable Christmas photo shoot!
With custom product websites such as Zazzle or Redbubble, you can easily create matching family Christmas outfits by printing one festive design across a variety of products. Choose from baby bodysuits, sleepers or PJs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and more, all customizable to fit each family member perfectly.
Not only do these personalized Christmas outfits make wonderful Christmas baby gifts, but they also create precious memories and holiday photos. Matching outfits add a fun and heartwarming touch to any family gathering and make your holiday celebration truly picture-perfect.
For the whole family including your pets: (#ad) PATPAT matching family Christmas pajamas includes Christmas socks. Perfect for family photos and holiday celebrations.
Christmas Photo Frame or Festive Ornament
Photo frames make lovely festive decorations and come in various styles and materials like wood, silver, gold, or glass, to suit any interior. Many feature sweet engravings like "My First Christmas" and you can personalize them with baby's name and the year.
(#ad)
Festive ornaments for the tree or mantel are also charming keepsakes. They can sometimes be personalized with the year, baby's name, or one or even two photos. The Hallmark (#ad) "Baby’s First Christmas Silver Rattle" 2025 ornament - a silver-tone metal rattle with an elegant filigree design and pink (for baby girl) or blue (for baby boy) ribbon is perfect for celebrating a baby’s first Christmas and makes a thoughtful keepsake gift for parents or grandparents.

Raffi's Christmas Album
All of Raffi's baby albums are a great present for babies and kids. And the one with the Christmas songs is no exception! Get this for the little one and in short the whole family will hum along!
We all love to listen to this album year after year. There are children songs that get on your (the parents) nerves after some time... This album doesn't! Even I am looking forward to getting this CD out at winter time. Together with my kids, we love to sing along while riding in the car. Songs included are "Frosty The Snowman", "Up On The House-Top", "Jingle Bells", "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Must Be Santa", "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and many more. This album is a gift you can give to a baby at its first Christmas and it will last and bring joy for years. Available at amazon.
Photo Session With Santa At The Mall
Visit your local shopping mall and pick up a gift voucher so mum can take baby for a special photo session with Santa! The voucher makes a lovely gift on its own, or you could pair it with a cute outfit for baby to wear during the photo shoot. Another sweet touch is to include a picture frame (as the one shown above), perfect for displaying the best photo later, you can even tuck the voucher inside the frame for a creative presentation.
Alternatively, surprise mummy and daddy by taking baby to the mall yourself (while babysitting) and having the photos taken as a fun little secret!
A photo of your little one with Santa, maybe even with you in the picture, makes a wonderful gift from mom to dad or from dad to mom.
Cuddly Christmas Toy
Cuddly Christmas toys are among the most timeless and heartwarming Christmas gifts for baby. These soft and snuggly companions bring comfort, making them the perfect friend for little ones not just during the holidays, but all year long. From a classic plush Christmas teddy bear to the ever-popular Elf on the Shelf or a sweet holiday-themed bunny, these toys capture the magic of the season in the most adorable way.
A baby's first Christmas gift should be something meaningful and lasting, a keepsake that reminds parents of those precious first memories. That’s why cuddly toys are such a beloved choice.
Don’t miss festive favorites like Rudolph and Clarice, the reindeer duo that will light up baby's face with joy. These charming holiday toys for babies are sure to become treasured companions for many Christmases to come.
I took a trip to London at the end of September, and Harrods already had their Christmas collection on display. Among the highlights was the Harrods Christmas Bear 2025, Alfie, an adorable and timeless keepsake that makes a wonderful baby gift. The bear comes dressed in a cozy, festive hat and shawl and a charming Christmas sweater. Whether as a collectible or a cuddly companion, the Harrods Christmas Bear is a delightful way to celebrate baby's first Christmas in true holiday style. If you do not happen to visit London, they do worldwide shipping.

If you are looking for Christmas gifts for toddlers have a look here and get cute ideas for older babies and pre-school kids.
Fisher Price Little People 'A Christmas Story'
Little People sets generally are for little ones aged 12 months and older. But you can give this set right after birth so next Christmas the baby - by then almost a toddler - can play with it. The Fisher Price Nativity Set "A Christmas Story" consists of a stable with stone walls and palm trees, the figures Joseph, Mary, baby Jesus, an angel, the three wise men, a donkey with a cart, a camel, a sheep and a cow. The star light up and the set plays "Away in the Manger".
The set offers great educational value. And since the little one has its own nativity set to touch and play with, it might leave alone your valuable heirloom set. This cute nativity toy set will definitely be a hit with baby and the kids - Christmas time after Christmas time and year after year.
Fisher Price also offer a cute range of (#ad) special Holiday toys such as the Little People Musical Christmas Train, Xmas Village, Christmas on Main Street or Tree Lighting in Discovery Park. The Fisher Price Little People Xmas sets are interactive baby and toddler toys designed with loving attention to detail. They certainly will be fun to play with for years!
Baby Sleigh
This gift idea is for babies of about 6 months and up and also for toddlers. What better winter and Christmas gift in snowy regions! It goes without saying that babies can't have downhill thrill rides yet but will love to be safely pulled around in wintery landscapes.
Whether you go for a sled made of durable plastic material or a classical wooden sleigh with a backrest is up to you, and in a way also up to your purse ;-) Just bear in mind, a wooden one is definitely more sustainable and eco-friendly. So, let the winter fun begin!
