1. Talking Dalek Plush Few things have a better chance at bringing a smile to both baby and parent than this cute, cuddly plush bent on universal conquest. These Dalek plushes make adorable play companions for baby, and just might bring you a little joy when they spout off an errant "exterminate!" or accuse your child of being the enemy of the Dalek. Especially if this happens to be while the Dalek is being chewed on or smashed repeatedly into the floor. Available in blue or red. Plush TARDIS also available. Price: $25

2. Super Mario Nightlight Lets face it, babies are hazard prone and keep the worst hours. Many are the parent that wish that their child would either just grow out of a phase or have extra lives in reserve. And while these little lights won't actually do either of those things, they might just keep both parents and children alike feeling a little bit safer at night. Hand-painted and available in Super Mushroom or 1-Up flavors. Price: $17

3. Periodic Table Blocks For the budding chemist in your midst, these 20 elemental building blocks are a wonderful toy and tool in one. Each face of each block is unique, allowing for all 118 elements on the periodic table equal representation. There are even two spots to spare, just in case. With each element's name, atomic number and symbol represented, these might just be useful to a child all the way through college. Quick: what's the per annum cost of all that usefulness? Price: $33

4. Star Trek Feeding System Next on the list is a gift that promises you "mess-free docking at your baby's face station." That's right Trek fans. Your baby can now act as a spacedock for the USS Enterprise light-up spoonship. As shown in the product's youtube video, the lights actually seem to have a highly-useful hypnotic effect. The accompanying bib depicts Deep Space Station K-7, site of the infamous Tribble outbreak from ST:TOS, as well as a Klingon battlecruiser. Both of these light up, just like the spoon's nacelles. Price: $24

5. Fireflies Mobile Let’s be frank: babies do a lot of lying around and staring up at the ceiling. Mobiles are a way to encourage a little one's mind, even during these periods of downtime. So what better way of encouraging imagination and interest than this light-up mobile? The thing looks like it could be straight out of James Cameron's Avatar, what with the giant leaves and fireflies. As an added bit of magic, the mobile comes with its own remote control, allowing for seemingly random bursts of firefly activity above your baby's head. Price: $25

6. My First Cthulhu While on the subject of the otherworldly: Behold the squishiest of Elder Gods! My First Cthulhu just might enslave you with its preternatural cuteness. It just might indoctrinate your child into its otherworldly cult. But, it’s so dang cute! Cthulhu can't be all that bad, can it? Go ahead, stare deep into those eyes and tell me you don't just love it, despite the risks involved. Price: $19

7. Princess Leia Swaddling Clothes The universe is a big, scary place. I mean there are elder gods masquerading as plush toys, for crying out loud. Combat these evils by swaddling your little one in the robes of a galactic princess and general rebel leader. Modeled after Leia's robe in A New Hope, your baby girl will be just that for the world of tomorrow. Got a boy instead? No problem. There's a Yoda outfit, too. Price: $45

8. Custom Star Wars Bedding From the very same galaxy far, far away come these customizable bedding options for your little one. With at least 16 sheet patterns and plenty of other customizable options, your little Luke or Leia will be able to fall asleep gazing at whatever Star Wars theme you choose. Scenes and characters from the original trilogy, the prequels and even the Clone Wars cartoon are available. Comes with a blanket, bumper, pillow and crib skirt. Price: $275

9. Super Deformed Star Wars Plush Our final Star Wars entry for this list is this squishable AT-AT plush. There's a whole line of these super deformed toys that includes the Millenium Falcon, the Death Star and Luke's X-Wing Fighter, but for our money the AT-AT is the pick of the litter. Though technically a weapon of mass destruction, this guy's cute little legs squish over much easier than they did in The Empire Strikes Back, so he's not likely to take down too many shield generators. Price: $10

10. My First Thor Hammer A great destiny awaits your baby once they pick up this plush little Mjolnir. A destiny likely entailing whapping many a household item with its squishy stone-esque surfaces. I can't say whether it will grant your baby powers over lightning and flight or not. On the off-chance that it doesn't, though, maybe that's just a different kind of blessing from the gods of Asgard. Price: $13

11. Buff Baby Rattle The little tyke can't quite cut the mustard with that plush Mjolnir, you say? Worry not! It's not some lack of affinity that's stopping your little god-to-be. It's merely the need for a few extra lbs of muscle. Help your baby achieve their destiny with this baby dumbbell rattle. The weight given on the side of the dumbbell is 0.2 pounds. Yeah, that sounds about right. If baby doesn't turn out to be Thor, at least you'll have a little Adonis on your hands. Price: $10

12. Mozart Cube Its never too early to get your baby their first gadget. And what better than one that stimulates temporal and spatial thinking? The Mozart cube plays eight different musical tracks (yes, all by Mozart) and features six different instruments. Babies can add or subtract instruments from their current composition at will (or by accident) and there are even flashing lights that keep tempo with the music. Price: $35

13. Origami Stroller Another gadget on baby's list is this amazing self-folding stroller. Every other design of stroller I've ever seen is like some sort of master class in engineering and frustration, but this thing just folds right up at the push of a button. And for those of you who have engineering degrees, there's an added bonus. Generators in the rear wheels charge the stroller as you walk, meaning that it never needs plug-in time. These generators do their jobs so well that you can even plug in and charge your cellphone as well. Price: $850

14. Pilot Layette Set Any kid lucky enough to wheel around in that stroller needs an outfit to go along with it. This two-piece outfit will have your baby flying around town in vintage style. Modeled after those daring pilots of World War I, the suit features images of stars and chevrons and a pair of wings that say "Baby Pilot" on them. The hat even has a pair of oldey-timey goggles printed on it. Price: $28

15. Glowing Nightlight Rounding out our list for your tiniest holiday reveller is this twist on the everyday nightlight. After a wild holiday party with the family, baby might just need something soothing to go to sleep with. This nightlight changes color with the spin of a dial, ensuring baby's favorite shade of light. The base also charges the nightlight's removable glow-in-the-dark spheres. Once baby is old enough to be trusted not to take a bite out of them, these can be handed to your little one or scattered about the room, glowing for 30 minutes after their removal. Price: $80
