Every Easter Sunday, the best part of the day is giving the kiddos an Easter basket full of goodies. But when it's a baby's very first (or even second) Easter, giant chocolate bunnies and plastic eggs full of choking hazards small toys aren't going to cut it.

Don't worry, I'm here to help—I rounded up the best Easter gifts for babies. Where possible, I noted age recommendations, since several of these gifts are for older babies who can sit up and grasp small toys. From plush bunnies and lambs to snuggly blankets and books they'll read for years to come, these gifts will make this Easter extra special.

While these gifts are only for babies, if you're looking for ideas for teens or adults, we have dozens of picks for their baskets, too.

Once babies can pull themselves onto their feet, they'll be taking their first steps soon enough. These precious pajamas feature a bunny hiding Easter eggs, and I love the spring green colors. Best of all, the bottoms of the feet are grippy. Ages 12 months+

Jellycat makes the sweetest stuffed animals. For baby's first Easter you can get them a bashful bunny with their name embroidered on the ear. Choose between two fonts and five thread colors. Ages 0+

As a mom, I love that these are completely sealed—there’s no hole in the bottom—which means water won’t get inside and cause mold to form. This set of six is soft, squishy, and so fun for Easter. Ages 6 months+

Here's a feeding set that you can use as your baby grows older.

I like that this set comes with a catch-all bib too. Ages 6 months+
