A small shoe by the door, singing a song together and checking the next morning to see if there’s anything inside. Your baby might not understand much about Sinterklaas yet, but those first December moments are already special to you as a parent.
A full bag of toys doesn’t need to go with it. A soft cuddly toy, something personal with your child’s name, or a practical gift that you enjoy together every day is just as lovely.
Are you looking for a Sinterklaas gift for your baby in 2026? I’ve gathered ten ideas for you, including a few gifts for mum.
1. A fabric pacifier clip with a name
The first Sinterklaas with that name you might have only whispered softly to your tummy last year. How special it is to see it now on a gift.
A fabric pacifier clip with a name is personal and practical. It helps prevent the pacifier from falling on the ground on the go. Choose a calm linen fabric, a stripe, or a print that suits you.
Only use a pacifier clip under supervision, never extend it, and remove it before bedtime.
2. A soft pacifier cuddly toy
A little outfit that fits perfectly in a shoe. A pacifier cuddly toy is a lovely gift for a child who uses a pacifier.
You attach the cuddly toy to a suitable pacifier, making it easier to find among the baby things. Beautiful on its own, or together with a pacifier clip in matching colours.
3. A cuddly cloth to discover together
Little hands grasping a piece of fabric and carefully exploring a corner: sometimes the fun is in something simple.
A cuddly cloth is a soft gift for cuddly moments when your child is awake. Choose a colour that matches the other things nicely, or combine the cloth with a pacifier cuddly toy.
Always follow the age and usage instructions for cuddly toys and cloths. Keep the baby cot free of cuddly toys and other loose items during sleep.
4. Woollen booties for winter
For little feet that aren’t running through the room yet, but are still happily going out and about.
The wool booties from Alwero are a lovely winter gift. The natural look suits a knitted outfit or soft leggings beautifully.
Check which size you need before ordering. Then the booties can join you on your next walk right after pakjesavond.
5. Muslin cloths from Walking Mum
Not every Sinterklaas gift needs to be a toy. Something you as a parent use often can be very welcome.
The muslin cloths from Walking Mum have a beautiful Praliné print and are a practical addition to the baby things. For home and to take with you in the changing bag.
Check the current delivery time when ordering: these cloths are currently offered as a pre-order.
6. Happy balm for a care package
Do you want to give something that suits daily care? Then Happy balm from Happy Fluffy Shea is an idea for your wish list.
Do you know someone who loves using this balm? Combine a jar with a soft cloth or a personal pacifier clip. That way you make a small package with thoughtfully chosen items.
If you are giving a care product as a gift, check whether it suits the parents’ wishes.
7. A moonstone bracelet for mum
Among all the little outfits, there can also be one for mum.
A moonstone bracelet is a piece of jewellery with special symbolism. Moonstone is traditionally associated with feminine energy, intuition, gentleness and a new beginning.
A beautiful gift for a first Sinterklaas as a mum, but just as good for a woman in a different phase of life. With a personal note, you can tell her why you thought of her.
8. Love Knot bracelets to wear together
Sometimes the most beautiful gift is something you share.
The Love Knot bracelet stands for love and connection with its knot. You can each wear your own bracelet: a little reminder of each other, even on days when you are mostly busy with caring and organising.
Mum can combine her Love Knot with moonstone, white agate or her other favourite bracelets. The partner might prefer to wear it alone. Each in their own way, with the same meaning.
9. A dreamcatcher or sun pendant for the home
For those who like to create a special spot in the home, a dreamcatcher or sun pendant with gemstones is a beautiful decorative gift.
Choose a version that suits the recipient. Perhaps because of the colour, perhaps because of the symbolic meaning of the stone. A pendant by the window can provide a daily moment of wonder when the light falls on it.
Always hang decorations out of reach of children and not above the baby cot. Dreamcatchers and sun pendants are not toys.
10. A gift set for mum and baby
Is it hard to choose between something for the child and something for mum? Then maybe you don’t have to.
In the gift set collection you will find combinations of different Babyzus products. Think of a personal pacifier clip with a soft cloth, or a gift that also thinks of mum.
A lovely choice to give together with grandparents, or as a slightly bigger gift for that first pakjesavond.
What do you give a baby for Sinterklaas?
For a baby, a Sinterklaas gift can be small and simple. Choose something that suits the age, development and what the parents like to use. A soft cuddly toy, a personal pacifier clip or warm booties can be enough.
And maybe that is exactly the beauty of that first Sinterklaas: you don’t have to make much of it yet. Singing together, opening a little outfit and your child being mostly interested in the paper. Those are also the moments you want to remember.
Love,
Maaike
Babyzus 🤍
The meanings of gemstones are based on traditions and personal beliefs. There is no scientific evidence for a physical effect or improvement in sleep due to gemstones.
