The Best Under $25 Baby Products to Add to Your Registry

From bath time basics to sore gum soothers (teething happens sooner than you’d think), here are some basics you won’t want to leave out.

Getting out of the house with a newborn can feel super overwhelming until you get the hang of it (practice makes perfect!) These are a few on-the-go essentials you’ll be glad to have.

Few things are cuter than tiny baby clothes—and it’s one of the things friends and family just can’t help themselves from buying (so prepare to be gifted a bunch). Make sure to include a few basics, like bodysuits and booties that stay put on little feet, plus something to organize it all. Bonus points for adding gentle laundry essentials.

Like clothing, you don’t need to register for a ton of baby toys; in fact, you’ll be surprised at how quickly they accumulate. But adding a few quality play basics can help get your baby’s collection started off with engaging toys that encourage early development. These toys and books also make great picks to round out the perfect baby shower gift.

Much like toys and books, you’ll be amazed at how fast your camera roll grows into the thousands. My biggest photo-saving hack is making monthly photo books during baby’s first year, and then a “yearbook” after their first birthday. From photo props to handprint keepsakes, here are picks to help document sweet memories.

Having gift cards on hand for those unexpected postpartum purchases can be helpful. Whether you need something for your baby or want to order takeout for dinner, be sure to add a few to your registry. Some people may not like giving gift cards, so registering for them is kind of like giving them permission, too.
