Best Holiday Gifts for Infants
Babies are too young to be sports fans, but their parents and guardians love to see them sporty and adorable in their first holiday photos. Now, when you choose kids' gifts for boys and girls under two, you should prioritize comfort and cuteness. Our sports gifts selection is perfect for those tiny toes and growing bodies.
Think soft suede sole shoes from Robeez that introduce them to the world of sneakers, cozy fleece one-pieces from The North Face for safely exploring the winter scene outdoors, and adorable baby bear beanie hats for the perfect mix of warmth and style.
Another winner among the holiday gifts is a Nike 5-piece box set with two bodysuits, two pairs of matching booties, and a soft stretch hat. And, if you like kids' Air Jordans, you can find them for infants too — Air Jordan crib booties.
Best Sports Gifts for Toddlers
When you say toddlers, you say action and exploration. This is why our selection of sports gifts for ages 2-4 blends durability with style to keep up with their endless energy. Practical and trendy, fun and functional, here's what we have in store for these little adventurers:
For those first confident steps, consider sturdy and stylish casual shoes. Brands like Nike, Adidas, and Reebok offer mini versions of classic sneakers, perfect for those tiny, active feet.
For outdoor play, a durable and comfortable tracksuit set can be both practical and fashionable—our top choice: a Nike tricot tracksuit and T-shirt set.
Don't forget the accessories! Get a 6-pack of Sonneti low-cut socks for toddlers — they will stay put throughout their adventures while also providing lightweight cushioning and enhanced durability.
Best Holiday Gifts for Kids Age 4-7
Once they're four, kids may be harder to please, but iconic fashion gifts in the sports section will still hit the mark. You could get them a cool Vans T-shirt, a Jordan camo 3-piece set, or a stylish Arctic parka with faux fur trim from The North Face.
Their feet love comfort and style, too, so how about some little kids' Nike Air Force 1s? You'll be able to find them in a range of colors. How much should you set aside for this gift? About $70-$80 if you get them from JD Sports, where you can find more sports-themed holiday gifts for kids from top brands.
Best Holiday Gifts for Kids Age 8+
Kids grow up fast, and you have to keep up. Many sports brands cater to all ages, so you will have no trouble finding the same model when sizing up. For instance, the popular Nike Air Force 1s and Air Jordans are available for infants (as crib shoes), toddlers, little kids, and big kids. And adults, of course.
When clothing style changes, get your teen athletes a gift card instead of trying to guess what they like. This way, everybody will be happy with the holiday gifts. You can also throw in some sneaker crease guards or a trendy Nike braid set with a logo lace so that the gift card doesn't feel lonely under the Christmas tree or in the stocking.
Now you're all set with holiday gifts for kids of all ages! It's time to take the rest of the day off and relax.
