There are few things more exciting than the arrival of a new baby. If your loved one just welcomed (or is getting ready to welcome) a baby boy, you're probably here in search of the perfect baby gift idea. Luckily, we've got ideas for the best baby boy gifts, from personalized baby gifts to baby boy gift baskets and more. If you waited until the last minute to do your gift shopping, no sweat: many of these baby boy gifts are available on Amazon and can ship next-day with Prime.
The parents or parents-to-be will love unwrapping any of these gifts at the baby shower. If you're looking for gifts for the baby's baptism, we've got plenty of ideas for this, too. When it comes to shopping for gifts, you should also think about the family's specific needs. If this is their first baby, they probably need to stock up on everything, including adorable outfits and sensory toys. But if it's not their first baby, they might already have a closet full of baby clothes and toys. If that's the case, something like a customized blanket, keepsake gift, or diaper gift basket is sure to be appreciated.
Here are 49 of the best gifts for baby boys you can shop in 2023.

With this personalized name puzzle, Baby scores a toy, a cute piece of nursery decor, and a jumpstart on how to spell their name. Ages 6-48 months

This incredibly sweet notebook allows the parents of Baby Boy to write him letters throughout his childhood or infancy. Not only is this a meaningful gift for his parents, but it'll be something he can cherish in adulthood as well.

This rattle looks surprisingly like a dumbbell, making it a toy that will entertain baby as much as it will entertain his parents. Ages 3 months+
