Football Baby Gifts for Baby's First Season
Football season is the best time of year in a lot of houses. Sundays get planned around kickoff, the snacks are serious and everyone has a lucky shirt. If a new baby is joining a football family this season, here are our favorite gifts from the four hand-drawn football mascots in the Munchkin Mascots lineup.
What makes a good football baby gift
- Something to wear on game day. A bodysuit or toddler tee is the gift parents will actually photograph, and the one the grandparents will ask about.
- Something warm. Fall and winter games mean a beanie or a swaddle blanket gets real use, in the stands or on the couch.
- Something that lasts past the season. A hooded towel or swaddle keeps working long after the playoffs.
Not sure what size to buy? Our guide to what size baby clothes to buy as a gift has the short answer: size up, and think about which season they will wear it in.
