Since having kids, the holiday time has truly become such a significant time of the year. The first year with a baby is a celebration in itself and when it comes to what a baby truly needs, it’s really just love! Here are our trusted and true favourite items that can be put into a stocking or tucked under the tree for a special start for what will inevitably become a magical time of year for your family.
Somewhere between 12-24 months, most babies enjoy knocking down cups. These pretty stacking cups are a firm favourite and I love that they double as bath toys! Easy to stack away on the bathtub or even pop in your bag for trips to the park or holidays away.
One of the most practical baby baths for small spaces, this foldable bath was a life saver with our baby twins. I loved the modern design and the fact we could bring it along for road trips.
Another stacking toy, but also worth it! I have no idea what exactly is so alluring about this toy, but babies (and early toddlers!) seem to be so drawn to it. It’s a great toy to start imaginative play with the animals and their houses.
4. HOODED TOWEL
There is nothing cuter than a baby in a hooded towel! Made from 100% cotton, this adorable lamb hooded towel is the sweetest cozy wrap for your post bath sweet baby.
Bear Stays up for Christmas is one of our most beloved holiday reads! I gifted this to my kids on their first Christmas and 12 years later, we still love it.
An absolute hold all, for laundry or blankets or toys or anything! A lidded basket is an essential for quick clean up and this one is pretty enough to put anywhere in your home.
I did not have a play gym anything like this pretty, but if I were to do it over again, I’d buy this one!
It’s never too early to teach kids to give back and that is why I love this company so much! Cuddle and Kind is a company I love to support and this cute bear is the perfect way to do that. For every doll sold, 10 meals are given to kids in need!
9. SWISH TOY
This toy is a top seller and has been for over a decade! All of our kids adored this toy and I would highly recommend it. It’s so easy for tiny fingers to grasp and hold and our twins used to pass it back and forth which was the cutest!
