Whether your baby is still in their first six months or approaching their first birthday by the time their first holiday season hits, a fun, useful gift that’ll help them reach their next few milestones or commemorate the moment is a great way to celebrate.

If you’re in need of some solid inspo, we’ve got you covered. You can lean into your sentimental side with a photo gift that commemorates baby’s first holiday season, a personalized gift emblazoned with their name or an ornament that’ll adorn the tree for years to come. Or you might go a different route and pick one of our top toys for one-year-olds that’ll encourage new skills on their journey to toddlerhood. 

The amount of adorable baby gift ideas for their first holiday are pretty much endless. Here are some of our favorites:

Toys

The first thing to come to mind when you’re thinking of a gift for a baby is more than likely toys—and for good reason. Aside from being entertaining, toys help babies learn while flexing their developmental skills. Here are some of our favorite holiday-worthy giftable toys.

Big Toy Gifts

We can’t deny that big toys have a certain wow factor that feels appropriate for baby’s first holiday. While they’ll cost more than other gifts on our list, most can be used for years to come and can be worth the investment. Here are some present-worthy big toys to consider:

Personalized Gifts

Adding their name and the year of their first holiday to just about anything is a gift they’ll cherish forever. Wondering what you can personalize? Well, the options are pretty endless. To get your ideas flowing, here are some options we love.

Festive Gifts

For their very first holiday, you can gift them a festive memento that can be pulled out every holiday season. From their own tree ornament to a book that highlights the meaning of the holiday, there’s plenty to choose from.

Non-Toy Gifts

If you’re at capacity when it comes to toys, you can still gift something useful and fun that’s totally not a toy (or even a cool experience to enjoy later on). Here are some we love.
