20 for under 20: Amazon must haves for the little one this Holiday Season
Fa-la-la-la-last Holiday season I waited last minute to buy gifts & packages were still arriving at our door 2 weeks after December 25th. As predictions are already set for delayed deliveries and long turn around times for shipping- I am determined to stay ahead of the gift-giving game. I have no interest in browsing through crowded shopping malls during off-season, so you can almost guarantee you won’t find me there this time of year. With young kids, a hectic schedule, and an Amazon prime account with my name on it, I’ll just play Mrs. Clause from the comfort of my couch. I use Amazon shopping for almost everything, especially as a parent. But even their delivery estimates are further out than usual. That is why I’m sharing my list with you early!
For parents, family and friends, I narrowed it down to 20 items under 20 dollars that are absolutely gift-worthy this year, filled with a variety of ideas for the little ones. From stocking stuffers to gifts wrapped under the tree, these GENDER neutral products are perfect for babies and small toddlers. As a parent, I know how challenging it can be to give ideas to your family members that want to hand a gift to your child. Between clothes that never get worn because your child grows out of them before they leave the closet and untouched toys sitting all over the house- finding what makes sense for growing kids is not always easy. But as someone who loves giving this time of year, I also know the struggle of picking something that kids (and PARENTS) will appreciate.
Check out these 20 Amazon gifts & happy online shopping!
- Sesame Street Elmo’s On The Go Letters – $19.99 – the perfect ABC learning travel set. Our oldest received this as a gift a few years ago and we practiced our letters every day. Easy to take on the go- even our baby loves to play with the letters.
- Jolly Dale Teething Set – $10.99 – all hail teething toys! There are so many teething toy options for babies and toddlers. But there’s a select few that I absolutely swear by. The banana teething toothbrush in this set is a favorite in our household. This set includes 3 essentials that parents will absolutely use!
- Stackable Cups – $6.99 – stackable cups offer endless distraction for those tiny developing brains. This stackable cup set comes with a clip to keep the set together so you can easily pack it in a diaper bag or travel bag.
- Pajamas- kids can never have enough PJs. The comfort makes a great gift for the 2 things babies and toddlers love: SLEEP AND PLAY! Finding the perfect set may seem straight-forward but parents can be picky when it comes to their child’s clothing. I’m sharing gender neutral, COZY options and organic for the super littles!
- 12 M- 12 Y $17.99
- 0-18 M – $17.99
- Boogie Wipes and Spray Set – $9.98 – Parents can never have enough health products for their kids. Between the worry, endless germs, and immature immune systems- all products on deck ANYTIME OF YEAR! I’m a huge fan of the boogie wipes and boogie mist spray because those tiny noses need all the help they can get. Congestion is inevitable but mom and dad will love having these for at home or on the go.
- Mombella Mini Mushroom Teether (AS SEEN ON GREYS ANATOMY) – $6.99 – I just saw one of the latest episodes and I had to laugh because our favorite product made an appearance. I have shared this product before because WE LOVE IT that much. We originally bought this for my nephew but after 2 thumbs up from his parents, we purchased one for our baby too. She doesn’t take a pacifier (not mad about it) but she loves her Mombella Mushroom. There are so many colors to choose from and they come with an attachment clip.
- Prayer Block Set – $9.79 – Introduce faith in a fun way! This prayer block set is a great gift for the whole family. Start mealtime or prepare for bedtime with these wooden blocks filled with different prayers on each side. This a great way for your child to learn and engage in popular prayers.
- Aquaphor Gift Set – $19.98 – Aquaphor for the win. Chapped and dry skin goes with babies just like peanut butter and jelly. Parents use lotions and creams to soften and heal their little one’s skin often. This gift set is a perfect idea for under the tree.
- Whale Spout Cover – $9.94 – Yes and yes! You can find spout covers in different colors and animals. The spout cover keeps bathtime fun and safe. This gift is a super easy gift to choose because you can guarantee parents will use it.
- EzrAllora Montessori Placement – $11.87 – If you aren’t familiar with Montessori education this gift is a great and affordable start. This silicone placement has a lot to offer for kids and parents. Easy to clean, big enough to catch food messes, and designed to engage a child in learning- this gift will get used for EVERY MEAL!
- Backseat Travel Organizer – $11.99 – For the family on the go, look no further. The car is a black hole for kids. Goldfish or toys- something is bound to go missing. This backseat organizer organizes essentials and toys for the car so parents can keep track and kids have access to a variety of their favorite things. Turn this gift into something for parents and KIDS by filling it up with stocking stuffer gifts. Parents will be appreciative and kids will love opening up and digging through the pockets.
- Muslin Burp Cloths – $12.95 – You can never have enough. Burp cloths are a parent’s best friend. They aren’t just for burping, they are for cleaning up all the messes made. The material is soft and durable. And after the tiny ones grow out needing burp cloths- they make excellent cleaning rags.
- Cerebelly Food Pouches – $14.99 – Giving baby food as a gift? Um 100 % yes! Food pouches just make life easier. On the go or an easy snack, food pouches are easily one of the best options for a hungry belly. There are so many options on the market but Cerebelly comes highly recommended. A variety of flavors, organic and affordable.
- ChooMee Pouch Tops 4 pack – $15.99 – To go with your food pouches, check out these silicone food pouch tops. For comfort and development, these ChooMee pouch tops were a lifesaver to find. Our daughter caught on to sucking and eating her pouch independently super quick and any free hand these days is appreciated for parents.
- Universal Cup Strap – $9.99 – Everything tumbles and falls, especially with little ones. Their toys, cups and anything reachable inevitably falls to the ground. Parents looking for solutions have one right here. This universal strap attaches easily to any product making it harder for kids to lose their things (no matter how hard they try).
- Reversible Rain & Sun Hat (with pouch) – $9.99
- Montessori Toddler Travel Busy Board – $17.99- Learning is all the rage, as it should be but engagement is hard when kids have such a short attention span. Every parent dreads opening up another gift that requires assembly and batteries. Especially when the toy just gets lost in the sea of other toys stuffed in bins or thrown in a corner. This travel busy board is geared towards sensory development and is great for kids ages 1-6. Parents can easily pack this up for a trip or day out so their little one can stay busy.
- Gerber Puffs 3 pack – $16.99 – Again with the food. Honestly, it is the gift that keeps on giving. Kids love snacks. Parents love them more. It keeps them busy and quiet. Did I just admit that? Unapologetically. I don’t have a favorite brand but I wanted to share this Gerber 3-pack you can find on Amazon.
- Hot and Cold TheraBurpee Kit – $19.99 – I admit, I have not tried this. But the reviews are in and as a parent who has been there…I’m definitely adding this to our baby’s holiday list. This TheraBurpee kit helps soothes colic and reduces fevers. Parents are always looking for natural remedies to comfort their kid and I must admit this intrigues me. This is safe to use on newborns and can be used for breastfeeding moms to alleviate blocked ducts, helping both mom and baby at the same time. Talk about a perfect gift!
- Munchkin Faucet Extender 2 pack – $10.95 – Promoting independence is a lot easier when parents have the tools to help! I love finding gifts that just make sense. And this one certainly does. As a kid grows, they mirror what you do more and more. Hand-washing saves lives and little ones needs to know how to do it! These faucet extenders are easy to attach and remove, something that all parents can get behind.
The gift of sharing goes a long way which is why I’m so happy I was able to share all the products here. I absolutely love small business support and I encourage parents, family and friends to always check out local stores in the area for gift ideas, especially this time of year. You can find unique gifts, quality made and give back to your community at the same time. But as life goes, sometimes it’s nice to have access to products on Amazon that are both affordable and useful.
Most importantly, remember the best gift of all is time spent together. I hope you enjoy that time with your loved ones this year, filling your days with unforgettable memories that last a lifetime.
