Top 5 Baby Christmas Gifts Under £5

It’s time for some more Christmas gifts guides on the blog – this time for babies!

Babies are not the easiest to buy for, especially when it comes to toys. You can always buy things that are too old ready for when they grow up, or if you do a bit of research on gift guides like this one, you will be sure to get some fab ideas that will be more age appropriate.

1. Melissa & Doug Rainbow Stacker Lamb had a stacker similar to this when he was younger and he still loves it now. It’s such a simple toy but one that is suitable for all ages. When they are little they are attracted the the colours and shapes, and as they grow up they learn to stack them in the right order and say each colour. You can read our review on Lambs stacker here. You can buy this stacker on amazon for under £5.

2. Galt Toys New Baby Puzzle Puzzles are great for all ages. Of course, a young baby can’t complete the puzzles, but they can play with the colour full pieces and simple puzzles, like this one from Galt, are a great way of getting your little one to put pieces together and learn to match colours etc. Lamb loves jigsaws and still loves his very first one he got for his first birthday.

3. Viga Wooden Shape Sorting Box A shape sorting toy is a great gift for a baby. This is something they can play with as soon as they can hold things. They will be attracted to the colours and eventually learn to put the shapes into the correct holes. A box like this is great because it has a lid and can be easily stored! This sorting box is on offer for £4.75 on Amazon.

 

4. Rubber Duck Bath Toys Rubber ducks might seem like such a basic gift, but Lamb absolutely loves his when he was a baby! They were the perfect bath time toy. He would chew and suck on them and it would keep him quiet while I bathed him. Every baby needs a rubber duck! You can read our review on the H&A bath time buddies here. This set is only £2.80 on Amazon!

5. That’s Not My Lamb Book Of course I had to feature the That’s Not My Lamb book (and of course Lamb has it on his bookshelf!) But we all know there’s many more to choose from. We have around 5 of these in our house and they are perfect as first books, but will still be enjoyed by even 4 year olds! My nephew loves reading them when he comes to play. They retail at £5.99, but a lot are less than £5 on Amazon.

I hope you’ve found this guide useful and have some ideas for Christmas gifts for the babies in your lives! Stay tuned for my next instalment of Christmas gift guides for babies. You can see my toddler guide here or click the Christmas tab at the top of the page.

  1. Chloe is getting way too many things this Christmas. But it’s mainly because she took over all Matthew’s toys and I want her to have her own ones.

  2. Melissa and Doug toys are so sturdy and last ages, I cannot believe the stacker is less than £5, very good value for money!xx

  7. I bought my daughter the wooden stacking rings for Christmas last year and they are still as much a hit with her now as they were 12 months ago. At less than a fiver you can’t go wrong!

  8. I think we owned variations of all of those. Great gift ideas. My little one still plays with a lot of them now at nearly two! x

  10. What a great list – those stacking rings look really lovely, and all my kids have loved the ‘It’s not my…’ books.

  11. Great list, i love the stackers for babies and we loved the “that’s not my” books too. Theyre a great buy as A still looks at them now and he’s two xx

  12. I love the ‘thats not my…’ books, my son is such an active boy only interactive books like this keep him focuses. great choices xx

  13. Fab choices. For Amelia’s first Christmas she was only 4 months old so we went the practical route with a high chair etc. But all of these gifts would have been great :)!

  14. Another great gift guide – I am blaming my constant Christmas shopping on you though haha.. Just when I think I’m finished I find something on here that I have to get! At under £5 though it would be silly not to x

  18. There are some lovely ideas there – we had a few from the list ourselves when my daughter was younger. I’m looking for something for my niece now, who’s one, and has the benefit of getting all her big brother and big cousin’s hand-me-downs but it makes it tricky for me to find something she doesn’t have!

  20. Oh my. This post has bought back memories. My children had a similar shape sorter box and those rubber duckies and SO many memories of doing baby and toddler jigsaws with them. Oh I do miss those days! This is a fab list of gifts perfect for babies. And thank you for the trip down memory lane 😀 xx
