The Best Cheap New Year Gifts for Babies

Cheap New Year gifts for babies are often just as well-received as their pricey counterparts. As a mom of three, I can vouch for that! Here are five fun and cheap New Year gift ideas that your baby will love.

Cheap New Year gifts for babies: Idea #1 - Buzz the Bug Play and Grow.



Produced by Lamaze, Buzz is a soft plush toy that features six legs of excitement. It has a blue head with smiling face, blue wings, purple antennae, green feet, orange back, and a black and white polka dot tummy. Each foot features a different 'activity', including grabbable rings, a bell and a squeaker. It can be attached to a mobile using the loop on its back, or used as a toy. My second son received Buzz as a gift a few years ago; he loved it then, and my second son loves it just as much now. He will spend as long as a full half an hour just staring at Buzz's face or feeling the texture of each attached toy. Buzz is available for $9.99 on Amazon, and it's worth every penny. It's a fabulous cheap New Year gift that's sure to attract - and hold! - your baby's attention, from newborn to a year and beyond.

Cheap New Year gift for babies: Idea #2 - A Winkel.




The Winkel, made by Manhattan Toys, is comprised of colorful, bendable plastic loops that are connected by a central red and orange square. All three of my children have loved chewing on the loops, making it an invaluable toy when teething becomes an issue. It's small, at just 4.5 inches in diameter, so it's the perfect size for tiny hands to grab and manipulate. The Winkel is available for $11.99 on Amazon.

Cheap New Year gift for babies: Idea #3 - Lamaze Freddie the Firefly.






Lamaze Freddie the Firefly features a soft velour body and busy wings with a peek-a-boo mirror, multiple textures, squeaker, and crinkles to keep your baby entertained. The rings clink, and the tethered ladybug teether and knotted antennae are perfect for chewing. The link is great for hanging from an activity gym and connects easily to any Lamaze toy or play mat.


Cheap New Year gift for babies: Idea #4 - Fisher Price Rock-a-Stack.




Stacking rings are a classic New Year gift for babies. Colorful and educational, these study plastic rings by Fisher Price come stacked on
a base that rocks to and fro for added interest and challenge; no need for bells and whistles! It's an excellent choice for babies six months or age or older. This toy retails for $9.99, but is available for $6.99 on Amazon.

Cheap New Year gift for babies: Idea #5 - Lamaze First Mirror.




I've yet to meet a baby who isn't utterly fascinated by his own reflection, so something as simple as a mirror can make an excellent cheap New Year gift for a baby. The brightly colored Lamaze First Mirror, priced at $19.99 on Amazon, features straps that allow it to be used in numerous places, from the crib to the car. This unbreakable mirror can also be left attached to its wedge, making it a great - and safe - choice for tummy time play. It's a simple and cheap New Year gift for babies of all ages.

The above are some of my favorite cheap New Year gift ideas for babies. You can't go wrong if you go with any of them. Happy holidays.

Safe Toys for Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers


Always read labels to make sure a toy is appropriate for a child's age. Guidelines published by the CPSC and other groups can help you make those buying decisions. Still, use your own best judgment — and consider your child's temperament, habits, and behavior whenever you buy a new toy.

You may think that a child who's advanced in comparison to peers can handle toys meant for older kids. But the age levels for toys are determined by safety factors, not intelligence or maturity.

Here are some age-specific guidelines to keep in mind:
  • Look for toys that are sturdy enough to withstand pulling and twisting. Make sure that eyes, noses, buttons, and other parts that could break off are securely attached.
  • Make sure squeeze toys, rattles, and teethers are large enough that they won't become lodged in a child's mouth or throat, even if squeezed into a smaller compressed shape.
  • Avoid toys with cords or long strings, which could present strangulation hazards to young kids.
  • Avoid thin plastic toys that might break into small pieces and leave jagged edges that could cut.
  • Avoid marbles, coins, balls, and games with balls that are 1.75 inches (4.4 centimeters) in diameter or less because they present choking hazards.
Since choking is such a big risk in the early years, if your child is 3 years old or younger, consider buying a small-parts tester, also known as a choke tube. These tubes are designed to be about the same diameter as a child's windpipe. If an object fits inside the tube, then it's too small for a young child.

Baby toy shopping guides

Millions of toys are out there, and hundreds of new ones hit the stores each year. Toys are supposed to be fun and are an important part of any child's development. But each year, scores of kids are treated in hospital emergency departments for toy-related injuries. Choking is a particular risk for kids ages 3 or younger, because they tend to put objects in their mouths.

Manufacturers follow certain guidelines and label most new toys for specific age groups. But perhaps the most important thing a parent can do is to supervise play.

Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind when toy-shopping:
  • Toys made of fabric should be labeled as flame resistant or flame retardant.
  • Stuffed toys should be washable.
  • Painted toys should be covered with lead-free paint.
  • Art materials should say nontoxic.
  • Crayons and paints should say ASTM D-4236 on the package, which means that they've been evaluated by the American Society for Testing and Materials.
Steer clear of older toys, even hand-me-downs from friends and family. Those toys might have sentimental value and are certainly cost-effective, but they may not meet current safety standards and may be so worn from play that they can break and become hazardous.

And make sure a toy isn't too loud for your child. The noise of some rattles, squeak toys, and musical or electronic toys can be as loud as a car horn — even louder if a child holds it directly to the ears — and can contribute to hearing loss.

Tips for choosing toy for your children


Toys are the treasures of childhood, as long as they're chosen with care. But are toys really hazardous?

Consider the year 2004: In that year, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), an estimated 210,300 toy-related injuries were treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms. Of those, 35 percent (72,800) involved kids under 5.

You may want to observe these guidelines when choosing toys, and share them with anyone who may be buying gifts for your children.
  • Is it suited to your child's developmental level? Most toys bear a "recommended age" sticker, which should be taken as a starting point in the selection process. Be realistic about your child's abilities and level of maturity when choosing an age-appropriate toy. Toys that have projectiles, for example, are never suitable for a child under age 4 — and even some 6-year-olds aren't mature enough to handle them. Likewise, if your 3-year old still puts everything into his mouth, continue to steer clear of toys and games with small parts and pieces.
  • Think big. Until your child turns 3, toy parts should be bigger than his mouth to avoid the possibility of choking. To determine whether a toy poses a choking risk, try fitting it through a toilet paper roll. If a toy or part of a toy can fit inside the cylinder, it's not safe.
  • Is the toy too heavy? Could your baby be harmed if it fell on him? If so, pass.
  • Look for toys that are well put together. Make sure tails are securely sewn, seams of stuffed animals are reinforced, and paint is not peeling. Stuffed animals should also be free of buttons, yarn, ribbons, and anything else your child could yank off and put in his mouth.
  • Is your child physically ready for this toy? For example, parents of older kids may buy a bike one size too big so as not to have to buy a new bike the next year. This tactic can lead to serious injury if a child doesn't have the physical skills to control the bigger bike.
  • Is the toy in good condition? Used toys passed down from older relatives or siblings or bought at yard sales can be worn or frayed, which can be sometimes pose a danger. Examine all new or used toys for buttons, batteries, ribbons, eyes, beads, and plastic appendages that could easily be chewed or snapped off.
  • Does the toy have a string or cord longer than 12 inches? A cord can too easily be wrapped around a young child's neck, causing strangulation. Once your child can climb up on his hands and knees, remove crib gyms and hanging mobiles from his crib. Be particularly vigilant about older toys. For example, an older model of a popular play kitchen may have a phone attached with a potentially deadly cord, while the latest model of the same kitchen has the more current and safer cordless phone.
  • Does the toy use small magnets? In 2007, the CPSC named magnets the #1 hidden home hazard. Small, powerful magnets are often used in toys, and may fall out of the toy and be swallowed by a child. Two or more swallowed magnets (or a magnet and a metal object) can be attracted to each other through intestinal walls, causing twisting and pinching of the intestines, holes, blockages, infection, and worse if not discovered and treated promptly. As of August 2007, one death and 86 injuries from magnets had been reported to the CPSC, and 8 million magnetic toys had been recalled. The agency recommends keeping toys with magnets away from kids under 6 years old.
