Baby's First Christmas List
18
items 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...

Toys
Ollie has toys… but these are fun and educational, and we do not currently have something like them! We, of course, are open to other ideas as well :)
Great for dexterity, cause and effect, and exploration!
Baby Sensory Fine Motor Skills Rectangle
Promotes cognitive development by demonstrating the concept of object permanence and stimulates sensory exploration through the use of various materials (blue wooden ball, green plastic ball, and pink soft ball).
Object Permanence Box
This multi-sensory design promotes auditory and visual development while encouraging tactile exploration.
Tissue Box Toy
When you turn it, the gentle, soothing sound of rain fills the room—it’s so relaxing and calming to listen to. It’s the perfect size for little hands, and it keeps them entertained for hours.
Wooden Rain Stick
Everyone raves about this stacker! The bright colors, textures, and rattling sounds really capture attention. It’s such a simple toy, but it keeps playtime engaging while building coordination, problem-solving, and fine motor skills.
Sassy Stacks of Circles Stacking Ring
These cars were recommended to me by another parent! All they need to do is press the car's head down and watch it go! It's simple, fun, and doesn't require batteries.
Press to Go Car Toys
Ollie doesn't have a spinner yet, and I think he would love it! This one is cute, but any type would be great!
Bright Starts Press & Glow Spinner
Ollie has a wooden walker toy, but this one may be more engaging! It is top-rated, and the panel is detachable!
VTech Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker
Play Space
Wanting to set up some safe play spaces for Ollie as he gets more mobile, both in his room and on our main floor. Eventually, we would like to expand to our basement for the bigger items!
8+ combination options for new adventure every day! Plus, foldable design for easy storage.
Indoor Baby Jungle Gym
Wanting to add this mirror to a play space for Ollie! Designed with a non-shatter mirror to ensure safety during playtime, but allows Ollie to look at himself and use the bar for pulling up on!
Wall Mount Mirror with Bar
This soft play climbing set is what Santa is bring Ollie!
Indoor Soft Play Climbing Blocks
Ollie loves to swing, but there isn't a baby swing in our neighborhood! This swing is foldable, and can be used outdoors or indoors.
2 in 1 Toddler Swing & Baby Jumper
We would like to replace the rug in our living room with something a little more baby/toddler-friendly! This play mat doubles as an area rug, so we can leave it out all the time, and give Ollie a clean, cushioned, and baby-safe place to play and expl...
Little Nomad Play Mat | Winslow
Love this for a play space! You can use magnets, whiteboard markers, and chalk on it!
Magic Playwall - Arch Magnetic Wall Decal for Kids
Gear
Useful items less about play, and more for making mom and dad’s life a little easier!
This will be great for restaurants and visits! Comes recommended by some friends of ours for ease of use, portability, and the footrest!
The Hook-On Chair
I’ve been eyeing the Busy Baby mats since Ollie was born! Genius way to keep items from falling (being thrown) on the floor at home and out and about!
Busy Baby Gift Set - Silicone Placemat & Teething Spoon
Clothing
Some items I would love to add to Ollie’s closet!
These are SO cute! I love Pooh, and love everything we have gotten from Posh Peanut. They are always great quality that wash super well, and are so soft! I would love a set of these overalls for Ollie this spring!
Disney Hundred Acre Wood French Terry Short Overalls
I LOVE Ollie’s Bomba socks! They stay on so well. Can’t wait to try these, the next size up, with grippers!
Baby Gripper Sock 4-Pack (6-12 Months)
