I’ve had two babies in less than two years. I skipped out on some of these items the first time around but with my second baby, I knew I needed to splurge to make my life easier and postpartum more enjoyable. These are my MUST HAVES!

What I'm buying this fall for my 6(f) & 5(m) year olds

As a first time mum, I spent hours researching what I’d need for a newborn, and still felt completely unprepared when she actually arrived. I bought things I never touched and missed the stuff that would have made those early weeks so much easier. This is the list I wish someone had handed me before I gave birth. The products that got me through the 3am feeds, the witching hour, the first bath, the nappy blowouts, all of it. No generic baby registry filler, just the things that genuinely made a difference when I was exhausted, overwhelmed and figuring it out as I went.

Toy shopping falls apart in the same place every year: you wait until December, the popular sets are sold out or marked up, and you end up grabbing whatever is left. So I built this in early fall, organized by price so you can shop it fast for any kid on your list. Stocking Stuffers Under $15 is the impulse tier, and the LeapFrog 100 Animals Book in there was sitting in Amazon's top 10 for all of Toys & Games with over 96,000 ratings when I checked. Crowd-Pleasers $15 to $35 is where the safe birthday-party and cousin gifts live: the 20-car Hot Wheels box with 90,000-plus ratings, the LEGO Classic brick box, a Bluey figure set, and a National Geographic geode kit for the 8-to-12-year-old who says they're too old for toys. Best-Selling Gifts $35 to $75 covers the main-gift sweet spot: Magna-Tiles and PicassoTiles, an RC monster truck, a first 3-wheel kick scooter, the instant-print kids camera that is its own activity, and the Osmo Genius kit that turns the Fire Kids tablet into hands-on learning games. Premium Playsets $75 to $150 is where the money goes, with the Fire HD 8 Kids tablet, a wooden play kitchen, the Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage, a mini trampoline for winter energy, and the two screen-free audio players every parent is asking about this year, the Yoto Player for ages 3 to 12 and the new Toniebox 2 starter set for toddlers, plus an all-terrain hoverboard for tweens. Splurge-Worthy Gifts Over $150 is the grandparents-go-in-together section: a two-seater ride-on truck, the Barbie Dreamhouse, and the Nintendo Switch 2 for the whole family. Prices run from about $8 to $499, so you can fill a stocking or cover the one big present, and every price, rating, and stock status here was checked this session. Made for parents building the Christmas list early, grandparents who want to send something that gets played with past January, anyone shopping for nieces, nephews, or a class gift exchange, and families trying to keep toys screen-free or at least screen-smart. If you are searching for the best toys for Christmas 2026, toy gift ideas by age, stocking stuffers for kids, gifts for toddlers, gifts for 8 year olds, gifts for tweens, Magna-Tiles, Yoto Player, Toniebox, kids scooter, or Nintendo Switch 2 on Amazon, start here, and order the big-ticket items before Thanksgiving, because ride-ons, consoles, and the popular building sets are the first things to sell through.

Navigating the world of baby bath and body care was overwhelming, so I created this list of our absolute favorites.
