Gift Guide Offers Tips for Baby's First Yuletide Treasures
Designed with gift-givers in mind, the Baby's First Christmas Gift Guide by Babies"R"Us is a collection of toys, activities and on-the-go items that are thoughtfully matched to every stage of baby's first year. An expanded version of the gift guide is available online at Babiesrus.com/FirstChristmas, which is categorized by baby's age, so shoppers will easily be able to find hundreds of items, from stocking stuffers to everyday necessities (perfect for parents celebrating their 'firsts' along with baby), which are sure to excite the little ones in their life.

Below is a selection of items featured within the 2015 Baby's First Christmas Gift Guide:

• Ages 0 to 3 months: At this age, the tiniest tots are exploring sights and sounds of their new world. Gift-givers should look for toys with interesting shapes, eye catching patterns and feel-good textures that encourage reaching and touching, such as the Bruin^® Kickin' Keys Play Gym from Toys"R"Us^®, Sea Dreams Soother from Baby Einstein^®, or the 3-in-1 Take Along Mobile from Tiny Love Gymini^®.
• Ages 3 to 6 months: Whether it's the Light and Move Learning Ball from VTech^™, the Hug and Tug Musical Giraffe from Infantino^® or the OBall^™ Rattle from KidsII^®, caregivers should surround little ones with music, motion and sounds that encourage their curiosity.
• Ages 6 to 9 months: Entertainers such as the Go Wild Jumperoo^™ from Fisher-Price^® and early activities like the Drop & Go^™ Dump Truck from VTech^™ are great options for keeping babies on the move safe in one spot as they play.
• Ages 9 to 12 months: From the 1-2-3 Baby Walker from Chicco^® to the Laugh & Learn^™ Smart Home^™ from Fisher-Price^®, shoppers should look for items that encourage standing and walking, taking babies to the next step – literally!
• Ages 12 months and up: The pitter patter of little feet keep mom and dad on their toes, as baby is on the move from morning to night. Consider ride-on toys such as the 2-in-1 Learn & Zoom Motorbike^™ from Vtech^™ which hone motor skills and encourage imagination. And equally as important, create a spot, like the Canvas Tee-Pee from Discovery Kids^™, where little ones can relax and unwind after an active day.
