With the holiday season on the horizon, now is the time to start brainstorming gift ideas. Gift guides for kids of all ages are easy to find. But what if you don’t want to just buy the latest popular toy for a child? Or what if you are a parent who is highly critical of the toys your child plays with? That is where a non-toy gift guide comes in.

(Make sure you read about why I don’t put toys on my kid’s Christmas list.)

This guide is for babies ages one and under. At this age, children don’t yet understand the holiday season. The presents they “open” will not be met with as much enthusiasm as other ages. So this gift guide may not have as much fun stuff as other ages.

(P.S. If you are looking for gifts for older children, make sure you check out The Non-Toy Gift Guide for Toddlers, The Non-Toy Gift Guide for Preschoolers, The Non-Toy Gift Guide for Elementary Aged Kids, and The Non-Toy Gift Guide for Families)
