As a first-time mom, putting together my daughter’s first birthday wishlist was surprisingly harder than I expected! I wanted gifts she’d actually use and grow into—not toys that would end up forgotten in a week. If you’re building a wishlist for your own one-year-old (or shopping for one), here are the gifts I found myself adding after lots of searching and recommendations from other parents.

This is my “I only need one thing” Target trip…that somehow turned into a full cart. A mix of baby must-haves, little life-savers, and a few things I absolutely did not plan on buying—but now won’t live without.

My real stay-at-home mom uniform—aka the outfits I throw on daily that are actually comfy, easy, and still make me feel put together. Nothing complicated, just pieces I rewear constantly

I don’t have time to get ready every day… so I do a few high-maintenance things once a month that keep me feeling put together the rest of the time. This is everything I actually use to stay low-effort daily — realistic, quick, and made for busy mom life.

My everyday makeup routine when I want to look put-together in under 10 minutes—no complicated steps, just products that never let me down. Been using almost all these products for YEARS. So you know they are good if I’ve repurchased and never swayed from them.

A collection of baby items that got me through the early days of motherhood—when time wasn’t real, sleep was a myth, and everything felt slightly chaotic. These are the little things that actually helped

As a busy mom sometimes I don’t have time to do a huge skin care routine. But here I have listed a few EASY products that have been helping me stay on top of my skin care routine, as they are easy to use and they get the job done so I don’t have to add a bunch of other products to my routine bc as I said before.. I don’t have time for that 🤪
