4 Best Gifts For Baby's First Thanksgiving

Published on Jun 9, 2023.

As one of the most popular holidays in America, Thanksgiving is the holiday where extended families come together and everyone gives thanks for the harvests and blessings over the past year. Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to show gratitude to your loved ones over a meal and even exchange gifts to show affection. A baby’s first Thanksgiving is extra special for all parents. With extended relatives gathering to meet the little one for the first time, every parent would want to make the day memorable and as comfortable for the baby as possible. Here are some Thanksgiving baby gift ideas for your relatives’ or friends’ little ones!

A Thanksgiving Outfit

As a star of the show, the baby should be dressed accordingly. For a cute Thanksgiving outfit, gift the little one a baby pilgrim outfit that will have everyone swooning over. For something more understated, a little turkey hat or Thanksgiving socks will be soft and comfortable for the baby and keep him or her warm. If you’d like to go the extra mile, customizing a Thanksgiving onesie with the print and slogan of your choosing could add a special touch to your gift. There are plenty of options available when it comes to Thanksgiving outfits but whatever you choose, make sure it is comfortable and warm enough for the baby as the weather turns colder.

Thanksgiving Bibs

Who can forget that the key component of Thanksgiving is the Thanksgiving dinner? While the baby may not be able to join the adults gathered around the dining table and enjoy the turkey feast, they can be included with their own little Thanksgiving bibs. Any parent would want to minimize the clean-up, especially if their baby is sporting a new adorable Thanksgiving outfit they would want to protect, making the Thanksgiving-themed bib a perfect gift. Thanksgiving bibs can be found at most baby clothing stores.

Memorabilia

Start an annual tradition for your relative’s baby! With new chapters, come new traditions. Celebrate the start of this one with an adorable pumpkin craft. Gift the parents a beautiful sketchbook, orange paint safe for babies, and some stick-on decorations to create a thumbprint of their baby’s finger and add details using a green marker to turn it into a pumpkin! They can repeat it for the years to come and they will have an annual tradition. They can use it to track the growth of their child, comparing the size of their child’s thumb as they grow older. Not only will this gift be unique for them, but it will also never get old, growing only more precious as a memento as time passes.

Thanksgiving Baby Mat

The little one will need some space to play or take a nap. With this adorable Bestever Rocky Chicken Baby Mat, the baby will have a little corner to call his or her own this Thanksgiving. Besides being too cute to resist, this baby mat features non-skidding backing to ensure the baby’s safety, a stuffed head as a pillow, is easy to fold for transport, and is extremely soft for your baby’s comfort.
