We've picked 12 Christmas gift ideas from Mamas & Papas and Lovevery, from small stocking fillers to big "main present" gifts. Black Friday is a good time to buy, as many baby shops have sales.

What to buy for each age
- 0 to 6 months: play mats, soft toys, rattles and teethers. Babies love faces, contrast and textures.
- 6 to 12 months: sit-and-play toys, bath toys and blocks. They start to grab, bang and explore.
- 1 to 2 years: push and pull toys, rocking animals and simple puzzles. Great for new walkers.
- 2 years and up: trikes, balance bikes and pretend play.
Safety tips
- Always check the age on the box.
- Avoid small parts for under-3s.
- Look for the UKCA or CE mark.
- Remove all packaging, tags and ribbons before giving a toy to a baby.
