The 13 Best Baby Boy Gifts to Buy in 2018

 These will be the only shoes your little man will need. They are crafted from soft, high-quality leather to protect tiny toes. Their non-slip construction ensures that even the most active little one won’t accidentally lose a shoe. Fun designs and machine washability make these the go-to shoes for chubby baby feet.

 As baby begins to cruise around the house they will need a little extra protection against slips. These socks are specially designed with anti-slip, non-skid technology to help baby’s little feet grip the ground when standing or walking. We love the neutral pack of gray, black and cream socks but they are also available in fun bright colors with the same anti-slip bottom.

 Keep baby engaged with this best-selling Jumperoo. There’s no shortage of colorful, interactive spinners, roller-balls, and light-up whatchamacallits. This play center will bounce with baby’s movements, encouraging muscle and balance development. Brain-building play helps develop baby’s motor control and hand-eye coordination while giving parents a much-needed hands-free break.  

Parents will love that this play station is both safe and comfortable for their little guy. The Jumperoo comes with a soft padded seat that swivels with baby’s movements. As baby grows, so too can the Jumperoo, with three different height settings to accommodate babies up to 25 lbs. and 32”. One of our favorite features is how easily this can be tucked away when not in use. The base easily converts to a nested position making this ideal for parents tight on space or for transporting to grandma’s house.

New parents can rest assured that when they zip their little one in for the night, they won’t have to worry about tangled blankets or chilly bottoms. The HALO Sleep Sack keeps baby snug and warm without adding unnecessary blankets in the crib. Soft plush dot velboa will keep baby warm with plenty of leg room for kicking and stretching.

The Sleep Sack is available in small (10-18 lbs.), medium (16-24 lbs.) and large (22-28 lbs.). One feature parents are sure to love is the reversible zipper on the bottom of the sleep sack. This allows for easy access without having to unzip baby out of the entire thing to do a middle of the night diaper change.

The 100% cotton outer layer quickly absorbs mishaps while the polyester-fleece backing keeps moisture from baby’s clothing and skin.
