Baby's First Christmas List
As a first-time mom, I wanted to make a Christmas list that actually makes sense for an 8-month-old — no clutter, no gimmicks, just things he’ll truly use and grow with. This list includes developmental toys, Montessori play essentials, and baby gear we’ve researched to death. Everything here encourages crawling, exploring, sensory learning, or independent play — because this stage is FULL of curiosity and big milestones. You’ll also find a few cozy and practical items that make daily life easier (for both baby and mom!). I’ve categorized the list so it’s easy to shop depending on what you’re looking for — toys, play space upgrades, everyday gear, and gift ideas that last beyond Christmas. If your baby is around 6–12 months, I hope this gives you some inspiration! Feel free to ask questions or share your own favorites — I’m always looking for the next great find. Here’s to making his first Christmas magical, meaningful, and actually useful. 🧸✨
