Gifts for 6-month-olds under 25 euros: what suits this stage?
- Eating: fresh food feeders and bibs for the first bites.
- Drinking: a first cup to learn to drink.
- Teeth: teething rings and drool bibs.
- Play: sensory books, squeaky toys and rattles.
- Outdoors: a sun hat and first shoes.
The first bites
At around six months many babies start eating solid food. A fresh food feeder is a handy aid then: you put a piece of soft fruit inside and your little one sucks on it without swallowing big pieces. The b.box Silicone Fresh Food Feeders come in Peony, Blush, Sage, Lemon Sherbet, Lullaby Blue and Ocean Breeze, among others, and the b.box Fresh Food Feeder Apple is suitable from 4 months. Always use a feeder while your baby sits upright, is awake and you are with them. Also see the fresh food feeders.
Practising means mess. A bib with a catch pocket or an easy-to-wipe bib saves lots of laundry. Only put the bib on during meals, and take it off afterwards. Find every type among the bibs.
A tip for parents and givers: start with small amounts and one flavour at a time. That way your little one calmly discovers what they like. A present that helps with this step, such as a feeder or a bib, is used almost every day during these weeks.
Learning to drink from a cup
A first cup is a popular present for a six-month-old. The b.box Sippy Cups (6m+) come in many cheerful colours, such as Orange Zing, Blueberry, Jade, Lemon, Raspberry, Apple and Watermelon, and in a Hello Kitty version: the Hello Kitty b.box Sippy Cup Candy Floss. For the very first sips there is the b.box Spout Cup (4m+) in Lemon, Grape or Blueberry. See the children's cups and mugs for every model.
When teeth come through
Many babies get their first tooth around this age. That often comes with drooling and wanting to bite. A teething ring, such as the Jollein Teether Ø 7cm Deer in ash green or pale pink, gives them something to chew on. A bandana bib, such as the Pink n Pretty or Blue n Bold Bandana Bibs (set of 3), keeps clothes dry. Only give a teething ring while your baby is awake and you are nearby. More choice among the teething rings and toys.
Play and discover
A six-month-old grabs everything, brings it to the mouth and looks at it from every side. Toys with different fabrics, sounds and colours are favourites then. Think of a sensory book, such as the Babyono Go To The Ocean Sensory Book or the Babyono My Life Sensory Book, or a squeaky toy, such as the Babyono Squeaker Koala Jules or Bear Suzie. The Babyono Dino Park Rattles come in several dinosaurs. See the activity books.
Sitting up and looking around
At around six months many babies sit better and better, first with support and later briefly on their own. From that new position there's lots to see. Pram or playpen toys, such as the Babyono Hanging Toy Teddy Gardener, keep a sitting baby busy during a walk. Every baby develops at their own pace; a present for this stage will still be enjoyed a few weeks later. In doubt? Choose something that fits now and lasts for months, such as a cup or a sensory book.
Going outdoors
At six months a baby often comes along on outings, in the pram or in a carrier. A sun hat protects against the sun: the Nordic Hats SPF 50 and the reversible sun hats from FlapJackKids fit within this budget. A hat is worn outdoors and during the day, not while sleeping. For indoors, and later for the first steps, the Baby Ballerinas with hearts or the baby sneakers with flower print are lovely presents. See the children's hats and the ballerinas.
A present for the half birthday
More and more parents celebrate their baby turning six months, with a little cake, a photo or a small party. A small present suits that well. Combine, for example, a cup, a feeder and a bib in your own box with build your own gift box. That way the baby has everything for the first bites straight away. Is it a girl or a boy? Then see the gifts for 6-month-olds under 25 euros for girls or the gifts for 6-month-old boys in the same budget.
Safe play and sleep
Choose toys suited to your child's age. Teething rings, fresh food feeders and bibs are only used while your little one is awake and supervised. At six months the rule still applies: nothing loose belongs in the cot, no blanket, pillow or cuddly toy. Your baby sleeps safely in a sleeping bag.
