Plush Animals and Dolls
A soft teddy bear, duck or elephant makes a first friend, while ballerina dolls suit the little one who loves to dance. Most are under $50.
Storybooks
Leather-bound editions of Goodnight Moon, Eloise, The Giving Tree and other classics turn a favorite bedtime story into a keepsake for the shelf.
Gifts for Their Room
Mushroom lamps, floral linen bedding and a soft throw make a child's room feel cozy and personal, and they'll still suit the room as the child grows.
Christmas Ornaments
A small glass ornament can start a family tradition: one new ornament every year, so they grow up with a collection of their own.

Plush Animals and Dolls
Soft, huggable and made for small hands, the plush animals and dolls in this collection come from Mon Ami.

Plush animals make easy stocking stuffers and pair well with a storybook. Shop Mon Ami.
Leather-Bound Storybooks
Leather-bound editions turn a bedtime story into an heirloom. Choose from Goodnight Moon, Eloise, The Giving Tree, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland, The Jungle Book and Oh, the Places You'll Go!, each bound to sit on a shelf for years. They make a meaningful first-Christmas gift for a new baby and a milestone gift for an older child.
Lamps and Bedding for Their Room
Humber's mushroom lamps give a soft glow for bedtime reading, and the portable version moves easily from the nightstand to the playroom. For the bed, Tessitura Toscana Telerie makes floral and butterfly linen duvet covers, shams and ruffled pillowcases, and a soft throw is ready for story time on the sofa. Shop table lamps.
Ornaments to Start a Tradition
A glass ornament is a small gift with a long life. Choose a little glass bear, a beaded goldfish, a pair of wintertime mice or a Christmas baker, and add a new one every year. By the time the child is grown, they'll have a collection to take to their own tree. Shop ornaments.
Gifts for Little Ones FAQs
What are good gifts for little ones?
Gifts that grow with them and become part of their routine, like a plush animal for bedtime, a classic storybook to read together, a soft lamp for their room or an ornament for the tree. Pieces made to be kept tend to mean more than toys that are quickly outgrown.
What is a good Christmas gift for a baby or toddler?
A first ornament, a plush animal or a leather-bound copy of a classic bedtime story all make meaningful first-Christmas gifts. They're the kind of gifts families keep and bring out again year after year.
Are leather-bound children's books meant to be read?
Yes. They're made to be read together and kept, so they work well as a keepsake for a new baby or a milestone gift for an older child who is starting to read on their own.

Yes. Plush animals and glass ornaments are among the gifts under $50, and they fit easily into a stocking. For more gifts at every budget, browse our gifts under $250.
