Our top 4
No time for the whole list? These are our four favourites for a new baby boy: the Skwish by Manhattan Toy, a classic grasping toy that rattles softly and is safe to chew on; a teether with his own name on it from Studio Bambacht, a personal gift he’ll really use; the Jollein Roarsome dinosaur figures, to hang from a baby gym and reach for; and the green Forest Friends winter sleeping bag from Little Dutch. Four new baby gifts you can’t go wrong with.

Play & development
Babies develop incredibly fast. From around six months they can sometimes sit up a little with support and roll over, after which the first crawling movements may follow. With a stacking tower you can build a tower together with your baby — and knock it down again.

Clothing
Clothes for the very youngest are always so sweet — and lovely to give. Think of a set of bodysuits, a cute top or handy scratch mittens. Feel free to choose a size up, so the baby can enjoy them for longer. Puckababy sleeping bags are not only beautiful but also wonderfully soft and of excellent quality; many babies sleep better in them — ideal if you want to give your baby’s night’s sleep (and your own) a boost ;-)

Touch & explore
A teething ring always comes in handy in the first year: when the first teeth come through, it helps to soothe the baby’s gums. Grasping toys get plenty of use in the first year too.

Books
Looking at a book together is lovely — even when your baby is still tiny. Sturdy board books, crinkle books and high-contrast books stimulate the senses and turn looking at a book together into a cosy moment. LazyLama and Studio Bambacht have a lovely selection of books for this age.

♻️ Big baby items: rent or buy?
A baby bouncer, pram, bedside crib or baby carrier is only used for a short time. At Tiny Library you rent them by the month, or buy them with a buy-back guarantee — new or refurbished. On the product page you choose the condition you want; refurbished is often already ticked, because it’s the cheapest option and sometimes the only one in stock. That way you don’t fill the house with big things that soon sit unused — a flexible and sustainable choice that helps beautiful baby things last longer.

Frequently asked questions (9)
What is a good gift for a baby boy?+
For toddlers, gifts that stimulate the senses or practise motor skills usually work best — think stacking, feeling, pushing or copying what they see around them. On this page you’ll find our ideas, including personalised gifts, play & development, clothing, touch & explore, nursery and more. See the lists above for concrete suggestions.
What should I look out for when choosing a gift for a baby boy?+
Choose sturdy, safe toys with large parts — toddlers still put a lot in their mouths. Check the age marking on the packaging (it stops you giving something with parts that are too small). Toys that encourage movement, the senses or language are a good choice at this age.
How much should a gift for a baby boy cost?+
For a toddler’s birthday party, a typical budget is €10 to €25. For family or group gifts it can be more. Our ideas cover different price ranges, so there’s always something that fits.
What are sustainable gifts for a baby boy?+
You’ll find plenty of sustainable choices in our ideas. Brands like Little Dutch, Grimm’s and PlanToys use FSC wood, non-toxic paint and make gifts that last for years. Wooden classics like building blocks, stacking towers and open-ended toys are a good choice — they grow with the child and stay useful for a long time.
What should I give my baby son?+
For your own son, the easiest choice is something that matches what he already does at home: copying (a play kitchen, tools, a doll’s pram), pushing and riding, or stacking and building. At this age one good gift beats five small ones. Something bigger, like a balance bike or a play tent, is a lovely present to give together with grandparents via a wishlist.
What is a good Sinterklaas gift for a baby boy?+
Everything on this page also makes a good Sinterklaas present. For the big present on pakjesavond (5 December), look at “Our top 4”; for the shoe, at “Gifts up to €10”. For even more small things to put in the shoe, most of them under €3, see our small gifts for the Sinterklaas shoe. New to Sinterklaas? Our guide to celebrating Sinterklaas with kids explains the traditions.
