You want to make a boy happy, but which present suits his age? Among the gifts for boys at Tiny Giggles you can choose from hundreds of ideas, from the first days to the preschool years: a polar bear hooded towel for a newborn boy, a dinosaur rattle for a four-month-old or a sun hat for an adventurous toddler. You'll find brands such as Babyono, Jollein, nuuroo, Meyco, b.box, BimbiDreams and Cambrass. Read below, stage by stage, what boys and their parents can really use.
Gifts for boys by age
- The first months (0-3 months): hooded towels, washcloths, mouth cloths, comforters and leather slippers.
- 3-6 months: rattles, squeaky animals, sensory books and spirals for the playpen or pram.
- 6-12 months: sippy cups, fresh food feeders, bandana bibs and soft shoes.
- Toddler (1-2 years): sleeved bibs, bathrobes, bath ponchos and sun hats.
- Preschooler (2-4 years): rugs, night lights, socks with heroes and his own tableware set.
A boy's first months
A newborn boy sleeps, drinks and is cared for a lot. Practical presents are appreciated most at this stage. A hooded towel is a classic: the Babyono Bamboo Blue Polar Bear comes in 76 x 76 cm and 100 x 100 cm, and the Babyono Bamboo Grey Foxes in the same two sizes. They go well with the Babyono Bamboo Grey Fox Washcloth or a 3-pack of Meyco muslin washcloths, such as Moon Indigo. Mouth cloths, such as the Meyco Mouth Cloths 3-Pack Muslin Moon Indigo, are handy after every feed. Also see the hooded towels and the washcloths and wipes.
For little feet there are leather slippers with an animal: Orangenkinder Trixie the Triceratops, Franz the Fox or Susi the Bee. EN FANT offers plain styles in Blue Night, Black and Brown. The Bibikidz Newborn Boy Bodysuit is a sweet first piece of clothing. All styles are listed among the baby slippers.
From 3 to 6 months: grabbing and listening
Now the world gets interesting. A boy of a few months grabs everything within reach. The Babyono Dino Park Rattles, such as the Brontosaurus and the Gigantspinosaurus, are favourites with little dino fans. The nuuroo Frey Rattle in grey or brown is a calmer option. The Babyono Squeaker Fox Vincent and Bear Tony are squeaky toys. A playpen spiral, such as the Babyono Raccoon Felix or Skinny Mates, attaches to the playpen or pram. Also browse the pram toys.
Reading together can start early. A soft sensory book like the Babyono Fox Vincent Sensory Book or the Lässig Tiny Farmer Activity Book is a present you play with together.
From 6 to 12 months: tasting and drinking
At six months many boys start practising eating and drinking. The b.box Sippy Cup Blueberry and Cobalt (6m+) are great first cups, and the b.box Spout Cup Blueberry (4m+) is a spout cup for the very first sips. The b.box Silicone Fresh Food Feeder Lullaby Blue or Ocean Breeze lets him suck on pieces of fruit himself. Only use a feeder while he is awake and you are sitting with him. More choice among the fresh food feeders.
Teeth coming through means drool. The Blue n Bold Bandana Bibs (set of 3) and the Cambrass Bandana Star Blue keep his shirt dry. For first steps indoors, the blue baby shoes with hook-and-loop fastening are a nice choice.
A toddler from 1 to 2 years
A toddler is busy, curious and wants to do everything himself. A smock bib is no luxury then: the b.box Smock Bib Ocean Breeze (6-18M), the Smallstuff Sleeved Bib Denim Animal or the Franck & Fischer Sleeved Bib Dirt Grey. After the bath he warms up in a bathrobe, such as the Pippi organic bathrobe ice blue (86/92) or the Meyco Basic Terry Bathrobe Light Blue. For summer days there are the FlapJackKids Reversible Sun Hats Sailor|Whale and Dino, and the Nordic Hat SPF 50 Illusion Blue. A hat is worn outdoors, not while sleeping. Also see the bathrobes and the sleeved bibs.
A preschooler from 2 to 4 years
Preschoolers know exactly who their heroes are. The Marvel Spider-Man Kids' Socks, Paw Patrol Boys' Kids' Socks and Baby Shark Kids' Socks (5 pairs) often get put on straight away. For the bedroom there are the Sass & Belle Shelby the Shark Rug, the Barney The Dog Rug and the AFKliving Alphabet Cotton Deco Rug (100 x 140 cm). A night light makes bedtime easier: choose, for example, the Sass & Belle Planet Night Light or the Petit Monkey night light owl baby blue. Also see the night lights and projectors.
At the table, the Minikoioi Set in blue or green helps him learn to eat by himself. That way he has his own tableware, just like the grown-ups.
Which colour should you choose?
Blue remains popular for boys, but grey, olive green, ochre and sand are chosen more and more often. Want to be sure it suits the nursery? Then go for a calm shade or a print with animals, stars or vehicles. A present like that can later be used by a little brother or sister too.
Safe sleep
Blankets, cuddly toys and cushions make lovely gifts, but in the first year they don't belong in the cot. A baby then sleeps safely in a sleeping bag, with nothing loose around him. During that period, use a blanket in the pram or playpen while your little one is awake and supervised. A dummy clip is for daytime only.
A ready-made gift box
Want a complete present in one go? Choose from the gift boxes for boys or make your own combination with build your own gift box. A hooded towel, a washcloth and a rattle together make a lovely newborn set, for example.
