Welcome to my curated list of baby gifts that are as practical as they are adorable!

From cozy essentials and developmental toys, each item on this list has been chosen for its quality, usefulness, and charm. Perfect for new parents, doting grandparents, or anyone looking to give a meaningful gift to a special little bundle of joy. All these items helped us survive daily life during that first couple of months to a year old.

Here’s everything I actually used and loved after birth.

As a mom of three, I’ve seen some great products and some that really suck. Here’s a list of the ones we’ve found and love!

Everything that’s saved me and made postpartum just a little bit easier.

Shopping for holiday gifts for children as a child-free adult is simultaneously the most fun and most overwhelming thing. Everything is adorable, nothing comes with instructions on what kids actually use, and somehow you still end up panic-buying something random at the last minute. When you have 6 toddlers and babies to shop for, it gets tough. I put this list together as I was shopping for my nieces and nephews for the people in your life with littles — whether you're the cool aunt like me, a thoughtful friend, or a parent building a wishlist to send to family who keeps asking what to get. Everything here is organized by price so you can find something that fits your budget without scrolling past a bunch of stuff that doesn't. A few things I prioritized: quality over quantity, thoughtful books with beautiful illustrations, gifts that won't immediately end up in a donation pile, and pieces that look as good as they function. Most of these finds are gender neutral and would make gifts for both boys and girls. Some are practical, some are purely for fun, and a few are the kind of special items that can become heirlooms and be kept forever. From throw pillows to play sets, dollhouses to push bikes, interactive games and sensory toys, and everything in between. I'm still shopping for my the littles my list and will be adding new finds here! Happy browsing! ✨

As a mom of 2 toddlers and an aunt to 7 toddlers, I’ve gone through just about every gift idea you could think of. Here are mine and the kiddos favorites!

Need to get started on you baby registry? Here are some great picks that I have personally used as a mom of 2.

Diaper bags these days? Less “cute tote” and more “mobile crisis management center.” As a stay-at-home mom of two kids under five (aka professional snack dispenser and tantrum negotiator), my bag is stocked for anything short of a zombie apocalypse—and maybe that too. This list is everything I actually carry, use, and swear by—no fluff, no 17 lip balms. Just the real MVPs: diapers, snacks, wipes, a random sock, and the one toy that magically prevents a meltdown. If you're juggling multiple littles, or just want to upgrade your own bag game, these essentials are tried, tested, and survived a leaky sippy cup incident in a Chick-fil-A parking lot. 💼🍼🍌
