Your gym mate having a baby? Or maybe your sister, cousin, or best friend from spin class? If they’re the type who talks (or will talk) about PRs between nappy changes, then you’ve found the right gift guide.
These fitness-themed baby gifts are perfect for a baby shower, first birthday, or just as a fun surprise for a fitness-loving parent.
From plush dumbbells to baby gains bodysuits, these unique baby gifts are adorable and hilarious — guaranteed to get a laugh (and a few bicep curls).
Practical gifts parents actually use
When choosing fitness themed baby gifts, it’s easy to think they’re just for laughs. But the best ones combine fun with genuine day-to-day usefulness.
A great baby toy or outfit should be safe, comfortable, and something parents will actually reach for. Think plush dumbbells that also work as a sensory rattle, or a soft “Lil Lifter” bodysuit that’s perfect for all-day wear.
Instead of bulky plastic toys that gather dust and take up space, fitness themed baby gifts can quickly become a baby’s favourite. They’re practical enough to fit into everyday life, helping with play, development, and even making parents’ lives a little easier.
Boosting Baby’s Sensory Development
Fitness themed baby gifts aren’t just cute, they can be incredible tools for sensory development.
Babies learn about the world through touch, sound, and movement, and toys that offer different grips, gentle rattles, and bright colours help stimulate their growing brains. Choosing sensory baby toys with a fun, gym-inspired twist gives little ones a playful way to explore, while standing out as a truly unique gift.
In the words of Fi Star, as featured on her official (and unpaid) endorsement for Hazza Toyz...
Fitness and strength style toys promote early neuromuscular development by encouraging grasp reflex, core engagement, and hand-eye coordination—laying the groundwork for fine and gross motor skills.
Funny (and IG Worthy)
One of the best things about fitness themed baby gifts is how much fun they bring to everyday life.
Whether it’s a baby “lifting” their first plush dumbbell or posing mid–bicep curl with a kettlebell rattle, these moments are pure gold for the camera roll.
Parents love sharing those hilarious, heart-melting pics on the family group chat, along with racking up a few likes and 'omg!' comments on IG.
In fact, we’ve even created the Hazza Hall of Gains to showcase some of the funniest and cutest snaps sent in by our customers.
