Your first holiday season as a parent is one you’ll remember forever. Not only are you starting new traditions with your family, but the magical feelings you had at this time of year all come flooding back as you see everything through your new little one’s eyes. But, you’re also likely sleep-deprived, stressed and not even sure what day of the week it is.
That’s where this gift guide comes into play. Send this along to your friends and family members as a little hint of what might make your holiday season a little brighter. Of course, helping hands and warm meals are always welcome too!
We kept this list short, but sweet… you have enough on your plate at the moment. For more gifting inspo, check out our ultimate guide to the 50 Best Gifts to Give this year.
Note: Be on the lookout for Black Friday savings on all the following items in the coming weeks!
Olukai Slippers
Your spending a lot of time on your feet rocking the little one to sleep. Make sure those feet are getting proper support with a durable pair of slippers. The great thing about these Olukai slippers is that they are warm and cozy (but the slide-on style helps avoid overheating) and the sole is made to be worn indoors and out. So you can do a quick coffee run, take a stroll around the block or fetch the mail outside without worrying about finding other shoes (or trying to get them on when your hands are full!).
Shutterfly Custom Photo Ornament
An ornament that captures this special moment in time is a must! Shutterfly has a vast selection of customizable photo ornament options to choose from, so your only challenge will be choosing just one baby photo to feature on the ornament. This is a great gift idea for grandparents and aunties and uncles too.
CozyEarth Soft-Wash Cotton Sheets Set
Sleep might be limited at this time, but when they can catch some shut eye, let the new parents in your life feel like their sleeping in a luxury hotel bed with the gift of gorgeous sheets. CozyEarth’s soft-wash cotton bedding feels (as the name suggests!) so soft to the touch and breathes well.
Owala Thermos + Owala Water Bottle
Give her a cup of good cheer with an Owala thermos that will keep her coffee warm and can then be tossed into a diaper bag or stroller without any worries of spills. Then to stay hydrated, add on the Owala water bottle, which features the option to sip or swig, has a carrying handle and is also spill-proof!
Hanna Andersson Matching Holiday PJs
We love Hanna Andersson for matching holiday PJs because the brand has an extensive selection of fun and stylish prints, but the pajamas also fit well and are made from high-quality cotton, so they wash and wear well over time. You can get a matching bandana for your fur baby too!
Drift Home Baby Monitor
If they’re still in need of a baby monitor, consider this one from Drift Home, which not only keeps tabs on your little one but suggests the appropriate clothing layers for baby to wear based on the room’s temp — a wonderful feature for the winter. It also includes three calming nightlight settings and five soothing sounds to create the perfect sleeping sitch for baby.
RiffRaff Sleep Toy
This might look like an ordinary lovey, but what’s so special about the RiffRaff is that you can record a custom voicenote for it to play. It also has the option to play a gentle lullaby or white noise — which can be set on a timer.
