WubbaNub
Meet the WubbaNub. If your newborn is a fan of pacifiers (or you want them to be), then a WubbaNub definitely needs to work its way into their stocking.
These cute little devices are a stuffed animal attached to a pacifier.
What this means is that you’ll never lose the pacifier AND your little baby has something to play with while they’re sucking!
These are really cute AND loved by babies and parents, so they make a great newborn stocking stuffer idea.
Newborn Crib Cards
These addictive crib cards are made especially for newborns and are one of the first things that they’ll actually lock eyes with.
The designs are all black and white, which is what newborns will start to focus on first.
You can line these up where your baby is lying or you can hold them up for them.
It’s one of the first types of entertainment that your baby will enjoy, so it’s a really fun stocking stuffer idea for newborns!
Their First Slumberkin
Slumberkins are the softest, sweetest, most adorable lovies, but even better is that they each come with a book and affirmation card that will teach your baby an important emotional development concept.
The affirmation cards are so cute to have in a nursery and the books will make you feel so amazing as you read them to your newborn!
But of course, best of all – these lovies are soooo soft AND they’re flat, which is way better for young babies! These are perfect stocking stuffers for newborns and the exact kind of stuffie you want your baby to get attached to.
Cute Headbands
Cute and comfy headbands are an absolute must for newborn girls!
Most (if not all) are not born with enough hair to look “girly”, so the pull to put something cute in their hair can be intense!
Luckily, there are some really cute options that won’t bother your little baby, but will still look adorable.
Zutano Booties
If you’re looking for booties that actually stay on, Zutano is where you want to go!
These newborn booties are perfect for the upcoming winter months and are both cute and high quality.
They come in a ton of different colors, so there’s a pair for everyone (and every outfit).
They make a really cute newborn stocking stuffer!
Personalized Lovey (& Matching Teething Ring!)
Every newborn stocking needs a lovey, and these lovies are personalized! Which is SO much better.
If you’re new to lovies, they’re basically little (flat for newborns) animals that are way safer and easier for a newborn to hold onto. They’re usually a head connected to a blanket and super soft.
A lot of babies end up really bonding with their lovies, so this could be something that stays in their life for a while.
And best of all, these lovies come with a matching teething ring that your newborn may also fall in love with.
Light Up Nail Clippers
Nail clippers are on most people’s essential list, but not many people know about light-up newborn nail clippers OR how much they’ll love them!
These nail clippers for newborns have a little light at the very tip so that when you’re clipping their nails, you can see better.
This is a HUGE help for something that can be really scary…and now they can clip nails while the baby is sleeping!
Pee-Pee Teepee
Sometimes accidents happen…and the pee-pee teepee makes sure those accidents don’t happen in your face!
This is such a fun stocking stuffer idea for newborn boys that can actually serve a really important purpose.
Basically, the pee-pee teepee covers your little one’s little one while you’re changing their diaper so that they don’t pee in your face…or anywhere else.
If that’s happened to you even once, then you know what an amazing innovation this is!
The Look Look Book
The urge to start reading to your newborn comes almost instantly and the Look Look book is actually made for newborns – so it’s one of the first books you can start reading to them!
Just like the crib cards, this book is made with black and white pictures to attract newborns with shapes they can actually see and focus on.
This is a really fun stocking stuffer for newborns that both parents and babies will appreciate!
Rattle Socks
These rattle socks are such fun idea for newborns!
Each sock has a rattle attached to the toe, so your baby can entertain themselves with their own feet…even more than they already do.
There are a few different variations, so you can get pink, blue, green or yellow.
This is a fun toy alternative for babies, especially when they’re too young to really hold onto things for a while.
Personalized Wooden Puzzle Nursery Decoration
This personalized wooden name puzzle is such a cute nursery decoration and makes a really fun stocking stuffer for newborns!
And it’s a great way to personalize their nursery with something that they could eventually play with.
Baby Noise Machine
Your newborn may sleep well now (or maybe not), but a time will come really soon where you will be trying EVERYTHING to get some sleep…and a good noise machine is at the top of the list of things to help a baby sleep!
This one is good quality and small, so it’s not going to be a huge device in your room.
So of course, this makes it a great stocking stuffer for newborns (and newborn parents)!
Baby Bath Thermometer
This baby bath thermometer is such a brilliant idea that is both fun AND practical.
The thermometer (which looks like a rubber ducky!) floats in the water and reads the temperature, so you always know if your babies water is too hot (or too cold).
This makes a great stocking stuffer for newborns and is something they’ll use for years.
Pacifier Clips
Pacifiers fall out ALL. THE. TIME. So these pacifier clips are a really fun stocking stuffer idea for newborns.
The clips connect the pacifier to their shirt, so no matter how many times they push them out, you will always be able to find the pacifier…and hopefully that keeps them from getting dirty!
These are practical and cute, so they always make a great gift idea.
Sophie the Giraffe
Sophie the Giraffe is an absolute favorite for little babies.
It is perfect for a newborn stocking stuffer because it will be one of the first toys that they’re able to hold AND they’ll be able to chew on it (another thing they absolutely love).
There are so many different appendages on this toy and that seems to be why it’s such a big hit…there’s a ton of things to hold onto!
I hope these newborn stocking stuffers work their way into your baby’s first Christmas! Good luck with all of your shopping and have a really great holiday with your little one.
