Sometimes it’s tough figuring out stocking stuffer ideas for babies. After all, they don’t really understand Christmas and can’t exactly open their own gifts. But that doesn’t mean babies should be left out of the festivities, especially when you have older kids at home.
Cute and Practical Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Babies
A lot of these ideas are perfect stocking stuffers for baby’s first Christmas or are practical gift ideas for babies. After all, if they don’t understand Christmas, you might as well add things they need to their stocking.
Pacifiers
If your baby is obsessed with their pacifier Christmas is a great opportunity to add to the always shrinking collection. Santa knows what baby loves!
Nerdy Christmas Onesie
Baby onesies are usually small enough to fit into a stocking! Pick up a cute (or nerdy) Christmas themed one to tuck inside so baby can wear it Christmas day.
Soft Booties
Keep baby’s toes warm all winter long with a soft pair of booties. If they’re starting to stand or walk, get some with grips so they don’t slip.
First Christmas Ornament
Baby’s first Christmas ornaments are great keepsakes that you can pass down to baby when they grow up and move out. Even better, start a tradition giving an ornament in their stocking each year.
Bath Toys
Even if the baby is small, they won’t be long before they’re all about playing in the bath. Make it even more fun by slipping some cute bath toys into baby’s stocking for Christmas.
Pacifier Clip
These are a lifesaver if you have a baby who’s always losing their pacifier. No more searching around as baby screams while you look for the misplaced soother.
Ornament Kit
This is a great stocking stuffer idea for a baby and their parents! Make your own keepsake ornament so everyone can look back on baby’s first Christmas and remember how tiny they were.
Hair Accessories
Just because they’re a baby doesn’t mean they don’t want to glam it up on Christmas too! Hair accessories are perfect stocking stuffers for babies.
Little Books
Little board books fit perfectly into most stockings and babies love them. It’s never too early to start reading to your kids!
Baby Toy Socks
These socks are not only cute, but they are also hours of entertainment for a baby who’s recently discovered they, in fact, have feet. The toys have textures, bright colors, and rattle to keep baby entertained.
First Christmas Set
Baby’s first Christmas is something to celebrate! Pick up this little hat and bootie set as a stocking stuffer for babies and then they can wear it all day.
Bath Supplies
Lotion, bubble bath, soap, shampoo, and all those other things a baby needs day-to-day are great stocking stuffer ideas for babies.
Christmas Outfit
How cute is this? You can even personalize it with the baby’s name.
Remote Control Toy
Babies love playing with anything they can’t have or that has buttons, like the remote control. Get them their own so they stop trying to get at the real thing… Hopefully.
Socks
Socks are a good stocking stuffer idea for any age, but baby socks have a distinct way of disappearing. (Check your washing machine filter, by the way.) Don’t waste time looking for that one missing sock and just buy a few more pairs.
Baby Snacks
Snacks in stockings is kind of a Christmas tradition for many people. But since you can’t put treats in baby’s stocking add something they can eat: baby-friendly snacks.
Baby Moccasins
Babies need soft shoes before they can walk and these handmade moccasins are perfect. Plus they’re super cute and will go with any outfit!
Rattle Toy
There’s a reason rattles have been the classic baby toy since forever! They’re a great first toy and perfectly sized to fit in a stocking.
Tag Crinkle Blanket
Babies love these little crinkle blankets! The ribbon acts like tags, which for some reason babies love to play with.
Food Feeder
When a baby is ready for self-feeding, but not quite able to chew a variety of foods these are a lifesaver. You put food inside and baby can gum it down without a choking risk.
Mitten Clips
How do babies manage to get their mittens off so easily? Regardless, this will save many trips back through the parking lot to pick up a lost mitten.
Temporal Thermometer
Trying to take a sick baby’s temperature with an under the arm or even ear thermometer isn’t much of a good time. A temporal thermometer just needs to be pressed to baby’s forehead which is going to make everyone’s life so much easier.
Taco Tuesday Toy Set
There won’t be many things in your life that are cuter than watching baby chew on this stuffed taco set.
Santa Booties
Such a cute way to keep those baby toes warm in the cold winter weather. Plus they’re festive, perfect for Christmas and as a stocking stuffer.
Baby Food
This is a great stocking stuffer for older babies! If you’re looking for something to fill out a stocking, stick some pouches of baby food in.
Hat Gift Set
These super soft sets would be a perfect stocking stuffer for a brand new baby. They’re made of wool and alpaca yarn for a super soft texture.
Teething Mittens
Instead of gnawing on their hands baby can chew on these teething mittens to help soothe those upcoming pearly whites.
Christmas Pjs
It’s nice how tiny baby clothes can easily be rolled up and used as stocking stuffer ideas for babies! Pjs are always nice for baby (let’s be real, they wear them all day long) so pick out a cute pair to add to baby’s stocking.
First Christmas Rattle
Get baby a toy that also celebrates this special occasion: their first Christmas! This classic rattle is easy for baby to hold and shake.
Brush and Comb Set
Even though they don’t have much hair babies still need to have it brushed or combed. A cute set like this is a perfect stocking stuffer idea.
Chunky Teething Rattle
This isn’t just cute, it’s also made out of food-grade silicone and beechwood so it’s super safe for baby to chew on.

This little Santa lovey is perfectly sized for baby to hold and snuggle with. It’s also perfectly sized to fit in a baby’s stocking.

Bandanna Bibs
These bibs are practical, but also really cute. Baby can wear them all the time with different outfits which is perfect when they’re teething and drooling. Trust me on this one.
Crib Sheets
If you unwrap and jelly roll them crib sheets should fit inside most stockings. They’re a great, practical stocking stuffer for a baby!
Bear Hat
It’s winter themed, instead of Christmas, so you won’t feel weird wearing it on baby until spring.
Home Alone Onesie
Who can resist a baby onesie with this classic Home Alone quote on it? It’s even styled like a holiday sweater, so cute.
Medicine
Yep, it’s cold and flu season. Also, babies seem to always be miserable from teething. Throw some medicine into their stocking so you have some extra around the house.
