…FOR BABY!!!
Since Harrison will be almost 10 months on Christmas day, we won’t be getting him a ton this year simply for the fact that he won’t remember any of it and he’ll probably enjoy trying to eat the wrapping paper more than the actual present ha! He’ll get a few necessities, a few toys and books, and one big present–which is exactly what this list will consist of. He also is ready to transfer over to a convertible carseat (😭), so while that’s a purchase I’ll probably make on Black Friday, the jury is out at to whether we use it when we get it or wait until after Christmas.
If there’s anything that you’ve gifted your kids before that worked well that I don’t have listed, please feel free to leave it in the comments!
NECESSITIES
- New pajamas–I absolutely love all pjs from this brand! I like to buy them a little big (in this case, a 12-18 month) because even when he grows, these stretch so well with him. Also, I learned really quickly that zippers are a must now that he’s mobile and antsy during diaper changes ha!
- Dress shoes–One great thing about having a boy is that I don’t have to buy a million pairs of shoes! This past summer, Harrison had two pairs of sandals that went with every outfit he had…and he probably could have gotten away with just having one pair. This winter, he’s got one pair of all white saddle shoes and I’ve got a black and white pair on order. This ecru color is perfect for spring and Easter.
- Play clothes–I’ve been on the lookout for cute clothes that Harrison can wear to his school that would be totally fine if he gets spit up stains on them. These are a few things I’ve found that I can buy quickly online–one, two, and three.
- Feeding–I want to get Harrison this fork and spoon set so he can practice feeding himself. I also really like these fresh food feeders. I know these snackers are in our future, so I might as well go ahead and get them, too.
BOOKS AND TOYS
- Melissa and Doug vehicles….Harrison loves cars!
- This Eric Carle farm sound book would be perfect
- This VTech puppy is so cute!
- I’m not ready for Harrison to start standing but he’ll love this!
BIG GIFT
I’ve wanted to get Harrison this chair for the longest, so Santa will be leaving this at our house this year!
I am loving your list. Happy shopping.

The chair will be used for many years to come! Ella still loves hers at 11. I loved being able to pop the cover in the washer when needed, and it’s easy to reassemble the cushions.
What a sweet list and great idea! I know you’ve been waiting forever to do a list like this! And I know that holiday pajamas are your favorite thing and Harrison sure does rock them so well!
We got that chair when our little guy was about 10 months. I will say that I'm not *overly impressed* with the quality and it doesn't hold its shape as well as I thought it would? But he does love it! Also, I just grabbed that VTech Puppy the other day as a Christmas present. Babies love pull toys!
Olivia has a similar puppy to that one and she loves it! She was 10 months last Christmas, and was able to rip open her own presents with a little help, and ended up being more involved than I anticipated her to be, which was really fun! I know y'all will have so much fun this year, too! And Black Friday is definitely the time to buy car seats! My parents bought her one for my car last Black Friday and I kick myself everyday that I didn't go ahead and get our second one for hubby's truck then because they are such a better deal!
We love all of the Melissa and Doug toys! We've had a ton of them through the years and they all hold up so well!
We have that standing toy and have had it for 3 kids over the last ten years. It didn't get used very much for a standing/pushing toy but did get used a lot for the buttons/noise.
One of the toys my littles have played with THE MOST over the last few years has been an older (and smaller) version of this car/ramp Little People toy : https://www.fisher-price.com/en-us/product/little-people-take-turns-skyway-ggd39.
