Chewbeads Junior Necklace (04 of15)
Speaking from personal experience, these rubbery beads are a magnet for teething babies.

(The necklace features a safety clasp and should obviously be used under supervision). Buy it here: West Coast Kids, $32.99 (credit:West Coast Kids)

Flensted Life & Thread Mobile (10 of15)
Nevermind baby -- we want this beautiful Calder-esque mobile for our space. If you don't already have one, mobiles are a necessity above changing tables to distract and entertain your infant.

Minimoc Baby Moccasins (11 of15)
We love, love, love Minimoc because not only is the brand Canadian, their moccasins and shoes actually stay on baby's feet! The soft soles are great for little ones who are on the move.Buy it here: Minimoc, $45 (credit:Minimoc)
Grey Chain Quilt (12 of15)
Invest in a great quilt with a bold design (read: not too babyish) that will transition from their nursery to their big kid room. It will no doubt become a treasured keepsake. We love the cool, gender-neutral design of this one by Initial K Studio.Buy it here: Brika, $275 (credit:Brika)
Giant Plush Giraffe(13 of15)
This giant plush toy is definitely a frivolous gift, but one that your baby is sure to love. Stand the giraffe in the corner of your infant’s room to serve as both a cuddle buddy and a decorative punch! Buy it here: Home Sense, $69 (credit:Home Sense)

Splurge! Schoenhut Baby Grand Piano (15 of15)
This pint-sized piano is a splurge, but it will bring your musical tot years of enjoyment (spoken from personal experience as a certain five-year-old we know gleefully pounded away on the keys after spotting it in a store -- for the duration of our time there). Buy it here: West Coast Kids, $149.99 (credit:West Coast Kids)
