Mon Ami Water Can Rattle Activity Toys (Set of 4)

“Aside from gift cards, toys are the next best baby gift idea because they’re not something a parent necessarily wants to spend a lot of money on, but it helps to have a variety to rotate through,” Moeslein says. This cheerful, snuggly set comes with four soft plush rattles in a spring garden theme. Sweet and useful.

Ideal age: Newborn and up

Fisher-Price Baby Kick & Play Gym

So many parents swear by this baby kick and play gym that it’s become a viral hit on TikTok and John Legend even covered the toy’s most popular song. “I respect any toy that can take that level of physical abuse from a baby off my plate,” one parent previously told Glamour about the Purple Monkey phenomenon. “Between the dangling animals, infectious tracks, and flashing keys, there was enough here to easily occupy my baby for a solid 15 minutes. And raising a baby is really just stringing together 15 minute blocks of entertainment until you drop.”

Ideal age: Newborn to 36 months

Storq Don’t Fret Wet Bag Set

Storq is one of Glamour’s McNeal’s favorite baby brands she likes to recommend to friends because their products always hit the sweet spot between practical, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. Known for their wide variety of maternity and postpartum clothing, they recently expanded their offerings to include a line of parent-friendly accessories to make travel with a baby that much easier.

“I was immediately impressed with the colorways and patterns of these wet/dry bags—they look like something I’d carry for fun rather than an obvious baby item,” she says. These pouches are perfect for storing a wet bathing suit, a dirty diaper, or even the fallout from a blowout (ugh) on the go, so everything else in your bag stays safe and dry. They are waterproof and can even be washed in the washing machine just in case, well, you know.

Ideal age: Newborn and up
