In my December 2025 Monthly Favourites, I’m sharing the bits we’ve genuinely loved this month – a mix of cosy Christmas things, little baby-life hacks, and a couple of treats for me too. I’m doing these monthly favourites every month until Freya turns one, so it’s basically a little time capsule of what’s actually getting used in our house as she changes. I start with our Christmas pyjamas (because I’m a sucker for anything festive), then I chat through a few baby favourites that have been so handy day-to-day: sock grips to keep little socks on, spinners that keep Freya entertained, and a foam ball pit that’s been such a fun sensory/play option at home. I also mention a “follow me” ball that’s great for encouraging movement and play, plus a bath seat that makes bath time feel a bit easier and more supported. To finish, I share two personal favourites – a perfume I’ve been reaching for and a necklace I’ve been wearing loads. If you’re a first-time mum in the UK looking for realistic, actually-used recommendations (especially for keeping baby entertained and making routines a bit smoother), this one’s for you.
