2021 Holiday Gift Guide for Babies 0-24 Months

Are you looking for gifts for the little ones in your life? I’ve put together a Holiday Gift Guide for babies 0-24 months that can help them with their pre-feeding + feeding skills too!

For infants 0-6 months of age, your focus is having your baby learn (through play) a few pre-feeding techniques. Taking the time to work on these skills before starting solids (at around 6-months when showing all the signs of readiness) will help your baby be successful with their first bites!

Oball Classic Ball: $6

If you are looking for a fun and inexpensive way to help your baby learn how to grip (a critical pre-feeding skill), look no further than the Oball Classic Ball. It’s a great tummy time tool, and it is easy to clean too!

Rattle N’ Rock Maracas: $8

These adorable Rattle N’ Rock Maracas help infants promote grasping and hand-to-mouth movements. These are essential skills for your baby to master before your baby starts solids.

Learning Lovey: $16

This educational crinkle toy is perfect for teaching the 5 senses: hearing (crinkle sound), smell (use essential oils), taste (chewing on the toy), touch (sensory bumps of the material), vision (shapes, colors, and animals on each print) *There are so many adorable Learning Lovey prints to choose from (unicorn, dinosaur, wizard, mermaid, etc.!) you will easily find the perfect gift for your babe! Use my code “MsDawn15” for 15% off!

For babies 6-12 months, your focus is all about starting solids safely and buying carefully selected products that will make your life so much easier with an active (and messy) baby!

First Foods Set: $37

The ezpz First Foods Set includes the Tiny Cup, Tiny Bowl, and Tiny Spoons. I designed these feeding tools to help your baby have a safe start with first foods while decreasing choking risk. There are a variety of colors to choose from, including our new holiday colors (Olive + Mauve). Of course, you can always use the code “Baby10” for 10% off!

Indestructibles Baby Books: $6

These teething books are non-toxic, chew-proof, and rip-proof, which is why they are named “Indestructibles.” Use them when teaching your little one to sit in the highchair a bit longer or want to have them chew on something educational while making their meal. (There are so many different titles to choose from you might want to get two!)

Little Balance Box: $72

This is the safest baby walker on the market (designed by a doctor of physical therapy), and it promotes trunk stability for feeding, standing, and walking! Get your baby’s core ready for solids with the Little Balance Box! Use my code: “MsDawn10” for 10% off!

This age group tends only to get toys for the holidays that will realistically be used once or twice. Instead, think about purchasing gifts that will be useful every single day! These gift ideas are functional, adorable and will help make mealtime more enjoyable too!

Rock-a-Stack: $7

Toddlers are now at the age where they are actively grabbing food, serving themselves, and using utensils. And this classic Rock-a-Stack ring toy promotes all the fine motor skills needed for the mastery of these mealtime movements.

Mini Feeding Set: $35

The ezpz Mini Feeding Set (the Mini Mat, Mini Spoon, and Mini Fork) provides the developmental tools you need for independent mealtime with your toddler. Have them practice eating with a spoon (scooping) and fork (piercing) in style! Use code: “Baby10” for 10% off at checkout!

Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog: $15

This fine motor and sensory toy promotes the movements for scooping and piercing in game form! Build their coordination and hand dexterity with the chunky, peg-shaped pieces that fit onto the back of Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog.
