stocking fillers for a baby...he will be 5.5months..

[PipIsOutNow]

i know he'll be too young to understand but i want hime to have little things to open on xmas day that he will get the use out of...i have bought him a jumperoo as his main present...

DS was 7months at his first Christmas. I bought him cheap stacking cups and a bath book and he loved them for his stocking fillers.

Other ideas- chunky little cars, small board books (like the Little Library box sets), squeezy bath animals.

nappies
cotton wool
baby wipes
shampoo
spoons for weaning
flannel
bath ducks

he'll have more fun with the wrapping paper ! but seaturtles ideas are good.

Had to google a jumperoo - mine now 10 & 8 yrs

Weaning spoons and plastic bowl, will be good timing for when weaning starts.
Maybe some chocolate coins, which you can eat!

Socks, mine always get scoks in their stocking

yeah mine still get socks and pants .

One of those christmas baubles with his name on? Can't remember where you get them but you could google.

Put a cardboard book in a sock for dd & a bib

For our 6 month old we got stacking cups (best toy ever - still keep 16mo DS occupied for ages), wooden letters for his door, one of those rain shaker things from ELC and a couple of board books. All things we would have probably got anyway. I thought his first Christmas would go completely over his head, but he loved all the sparkly lights, wrapping paper and Christmas dinner!

thanks everyone!! gonna do some xmas shopping next weekend so will look out for the stacking cups and the rain shaker!! xx

Mine didn't get a stocking until they were 3!

Stuff you'd buy anyway.

A flannel
A new toothbrush (if he has teeth)
Bath toys
Socks
Bibs
buggy books

a tub of bubbles!!!!

DD was 7 months for her first Christmas and while she didn't have a stocking, she had a few small presents.

Bubbles
Bath book
Maracas
Wooden drum
Finger puppets
