Winter Gift Ideas for Babies and Toddlers 0-3 Years

17 October 2026

A winter gift for a baby should be warm, useful and the right size. We have put together DoRechi gift ideas for newborns, for children from 6 months to 3 years and for parents who walk with a stroller every day, plus small gifts for St Nicholas Day (6 December). We sew our footmuffs, hand muffs, snowsuits and hats ourselves in Mykolaiv, Ukraine.

How to get the size right

Ask the parents for the child's height, not only the age: every child grows at their own pace, so the age is only a guide.
For a winter snowsuit, choose a size with about 6 cm to spare for growth during the cold months.
Hats are chosen by head circumference: DoRechi merino hats come in sizes from 38 to 50 cm.
If you don't know the height, choose something without a size: a footmuff, a stroller hand muff, a blanket, a cup holder or a backpack.

All sizes in one place: the DoRechi size guide.

Winter gifts for a newborn (0-9 months)

Baby XS footmuff: 75 x 40 cm, from birth to 9-10 months, for +5 to -20 °C, 5 harness openings; fleece or sheepskin. Baby XS footmuffs.

St Nicholas Day gifts

For St Nicholas Day (6 December), small warm things that fit under a pillow work best:

a merino wool mix hat or snood;
knitted or waterproof mittens;
winter booties for the youngest;
a stroller cup holder for mum or dad.

Order early so the gift arrives in time.

A matching set in one colour

The Apollo snowsuit, winter booties and the fleece hand muff come in the same colours and prints, for example Leopard, Mammoth, Winter Meadow or Chocolate. A matching set looks like a well-thought-out gift and is used on every walk. See all models in kids' snowsuits, winter footmuffs and stroller accessories.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good winter gift for a newborn?

The most useful one is a winter stroller footmuff: Baby XS is made for babies from birth to 9-10 months and for +5 to -20 °C. Add a merino wool mix hat, knitted mittens or winter booties.

Which size should I choose if I don't know the child's height?

Ask the parents for the height, or choose a gift without a size: a Trend footmuff (6 months to 3 years), a stroller hand muff, a blanket, a cup holder or a backpack for mum.
