Babies and Kids Will Love
These 22 Gifts for Nieces and Nephews

A personalized keepsake is a timeless gift for a newborn or a baby who isn’t quite old enough to play with toys. Parents will love having one to decorate the nursery with, and the kiddo will appreciate having something from that time to look back on when they’re grown up.

Looking to get a crowd-pleasing gift that’s as cute as it is practical? Try an adorable and infinitely photographable hooded towel. The baby will love dressing up like their (future) favorite animal and the parents will love how easy it is to slip on after a bath.

Your niece or nephew may not be old enough to read yet, but it’s never too early to start stocking their library! Consider starting with iconic family-favorite authors.

A big plush toy makes for a great gift for kids of any age, and babies will love having a soft buddy to explore the floor with. Look for animals (either real or fantastical) that fit the nursery’s theme if possible.

Gift toys should be just as cute as they are fun, and when it comes to babies, they should also help them learn. Developmental toys like block puzzles check all three boxes!

A pacifier holder attaches right to the base of a pacifier, turning their binky into their favorite toy. Try finding a soft, plush piece they can snuggle with.

It’s never the wrong time to start saving! Start your niece or nephew’s first “bank account” with a cute modern take on the traditional piggy bank that will look as amazing in the nursery as it will in their future bedroom.

Looking for an idea with a bit more of a custom feel? Show your niece or nephew you’re thinking of them with a personalized gift like an ultra-plush Anywhere Chair with their name front and center.

Does your nephew or niece come from a musical household? Kick off their development with instrumental toy gift ideas that promote creativity and coordination.

Is it time for a doll update? Try picking up an adorable version of the staple toy with a modern style to match the parents’ minimalist home aesthetic. It’s a gift that will look great on the shelf and provide hours of comfort and entertainment off the shelf.

Light up the room for your little giftee with an LED plush toy! Pick up a light-up version of their favorite cuddly creature that turns as bright as their smile when they squeeze it.

We all know learning can be fun—so prove it to your niece or nephew with a kid-friendly how-to guide. Need some inspiration? Try to find books that teach kids how to do things their parents love doing.

Horses may be the go-to rocking animal, but there are endless variations on this classic toddler toy. Find a plush rocker like a rocking bunny, giraffe or even unicorn to match the kiddo’s favorite animal.

Want a fast track to becoming the favorite aunt or uncle (even if you’re the only one)? Give the gift of a realistically designed, kid-powered ride-on. It’ll provide hours of fun while turning their space into a classy showroom.

Parents may think bathtime is about getting clean, but for toddlers, it’s playtime in water. Make it even more fun with cute water toys that float and spray water.

If your niece or nephew is part of a bilingual household, a kids’ classic tale in two languages makes for a great gift. They can read the text in the language of their choice or have it read to them in both.

Does the kiddo in question show a budding love of food? Do they already like to “help” their parents cook? Let their culinary imagination run wild with kitchen toys they can use to perfect their favorite recipes in the playroom.

Help cultivate your niece or nephew’s artistic side by supplying them with everything they need to create a masterpiece. A playroom-ready easel stocked with paint, paper, chalk, markers and colored pencils makes for the perfect all-in-one art studio.

The bigger the stuffed animal, the bigger the fun! For their next birthday or holiday, try giving your little niece or nephew a playmate that matches the size of their imagination.

Remember, kids love interactive gifts, especially if they’re also educational. Board books that encourage little readers to touch, pull or push make for a fun non-toy gift that encourages learning.

Looking for a tried-and-true kid-favorite gift? Ensure your little niece or nephew never misses tea time by stocking them up on matching cups, saucers and pots.
