This is my first experience shopping for a baby, so I since I’ve had to do a ton of research to let my family know what to get Leyton…I’m going to try to simplify it for you guys too! I polled tons of my mom friends to see what their kids liked the most or needed and here’s what I learned.
Some of the items are basic necessities, some are super practical and others are for good old fashioned fun and great for learning! We plan to keep our Christmas shopping simple for Leyton this year, since we know his grandparents will spoil him. The only thing left on my Christmas to-do list for Leyton is to find a Santa to snap a picture with and make a little footprint ornament. Being the procrastinator that I am, I did 80% of my Christmas shopping on Saturday… Yes, 6 days before Christmas. Better late than never though, right?
Here’s what is on Leyton’s wish list this year plus a few extras that I’ll refer back to for his 1st birthday in August!
Baby Gift Guide:
Car Seat Toy Bar // Standing Play Station // Munchkin Diaper Pail Refill Bags // Lots of Links Learning Links // Bumbo // Diapers  // Sophie the Giraffe // Moms on Call  //  Stacking Cups // Sippy Cup //  Vtech Sit to Stand Learning Walker //  First 100 Words and any books with different textures/ pop ups and sounds //
Speaking of books, I have completely fallen in love with I See Me‘s personalized books and think they make FABULOUS and unique gifts. The concept behind the books is that they personalize the book to have your baby’s name in them.
The book we chose is Leyton’s Sing-Along Book. It has super cute illustrations in it and has Leyton’s name placed in each song so we can sing to him each night and use his name. They have personalized puzzles, growth charts, baby items and books. How fun is that?!
What are you getting for the baby in your life or what else would you add to this list for others?

Love these ideas, Baby! Thank you for researching and posting them 🙂 I love the Leyton Sing Along book – so cute! Hope I find the ones I want to get him for your Nana and us to give him.
Aw the itsy bitsy spider book looks adorable. Isn’t it precious how we witness the joy on our children’s faces as they witness their first Christmas?
Oh how I miss my boys being that age. I remember spoiling them rotten on each of their first Christmases. Enjoy that little one you have there.
When my daughter was little, there was no greater joy than getting diapers as a present. They’re so expensive! great ideas!
Baby stuff is such fun! We had the walk-behind toy in the picture, and all 3 of my kids loved it! And books are definitely always a hit– especially ones with big, bright pictures like you showed.
This is a great gift guide for babies this Christmas. I was looking for inspiration for a present for my friend’s son x
Great ideas! My boys at that age loved the Play Table, which really helped them to stand and the walker was also fun for them and helped them walk quicker I believe too.
That giraffe is just too cute! I’ve done some shopping for the little cousins and this year it’s mostly stuffed animals because they love them! Love this like, too!
My son and daughter LOVE Sophie the Giraffe. It’s kind of perfect because my daughter’s name is Sophie. I love these picks! The books look so cute!

That is SO cute and fun, Logan! Merry Christmas, Sophie and fam. 😉
Happy First Christmas to Leyton. 🙂 That book is ADORABLE! I love personalized gifts and books are such a great gift that children can grow into. My son is five and I could not be happier when we get books as a gift.
I love this list! We welcomed our 3rd little one a year ago, and I can’t remember for the life of me what I did with my older two! They are 7 & 5 now, and things seem so different! Great ideas. I always think books are a perfect gift!
Both of my kids loved their toy bars. One of the best things to get little babies.
I Love reading about gift guides with so many family and friends having babies. I need new ideas of things to buy for them. Great post
I love books as gifts for any age! Picture books are always a hit. Personalized books make them extra special.
Omg what awesome baby gift ideas!!!! Babies are the most fun to shop for. Atleast I think so 😉
My favorite gift to give for new babies are books because they last a lot longer than other gifts. They’re something that can grow with the child. I’m so glad you included books on your list!
This makes me want to have another baby. We always buy books for baby gifts.
