In honor of the holiday season, actress Amanda Seyfried and her childhood friends Anne Hoehn and Maureen North—all co-founders of kids’ playhouse line Make It Cute—stopped by the Babylist Showroom for a festive holiday event on December 10. And with gifting in mind, each of the three friends put together their ideal holiday wishlists, including the best ideas for babies, toddler and parents alike.
Here’s a peek into their top picks—including the Make It Cute playhouses, now available at Babylist!—as well as a bit of why they love them.
Amanda Seyfried’s Picks
Make It Cute
Modern Farmhouse Playhouse
“Occupies the older sibling when the mom needs an extra second. Easy to assemble, sustainable, and fits into the decor of your home! What else can you ask for?”
Lalo
High Chair
“Who doesn't want a chair that grows with the kid? Not to mention it's chic, easy to assemble (Make It Cute values this asset) and easy to clean.”
UPPAbaby
Vista V2 Stroller
“Powerhouse stroller that’s perfect for busy moms with more than one kid or even thinking about future family growth. It converts easily from a single to a double stroller and can accommodate car seats, bassinets, or a board for an older sibling."
House of Noa
Little Nomad Play Mat l Ula
“Speaks to our Make It Cute ethos, because it blends well with the decor of your home, so you don't have to sacrifice style! It is also durable and wipeable.”
Little Unicorn
Cotton Muslin Holiday Swaddle Blanket
“So soft and versatile! Can use it as a swaddle, nursing cover, stroller cover, or even a burp cloth in a pinch. They come in many different styles and I had them everywhere!”
Anne Hoehn’s Picks
Solly Baby
Wrap Carrier
“I absolutely loved carrying my second with this wrap. He was tiny so we got to use it extra long and he took the best naps in it.”
Nuna
RAVA Convertible Car Seat
“This is hands down the best car seat. There are definitely less expensive options out there but this one is by far the easiest to install, to get the kids in and out of and to strap them in. We’re going to keep our kids in them for as long as possible!”
Lalo
The Play Kit
“This wasn’t available when I was looking for a play table and chair set but I wish it was! This one assembles so quickly, is great quality and is very beautiful.”
Green Toys
Dump Truck
"Everyone needs a Green Toys dump truck in their house! It’s a classic, plus it’s made from fully recycled materials.”
Make It Cute
The Cottage Playhouse
“You would think my kids would be tired of their Make It Cute playhouses since they’ve been testing them out for years now, but they still play in them almost every single day.”
Make It Cute
Make It Cuter Welcome Home Decor Kit
“Add the Make It Cuter decor kit to offer additional play and decorating opportunities. My kids love writing letters to each other and putting them in the mailbox for the other one to receive.”
Maureen North’s Picks
BabyBjörn
Bouncer Balance Soft
“The Baby Bjorn was a lifesaver—it kept my baby entertained, giving me those precious moments to shower and feel like myself again.”
Aden + Anais
Essentials Cotton Wrap Swaddles (3 Pack)
“These swaddles were a game-changer—so easy to use, even my 2-year-old could help! They made life simpler, especially when balancing a newborn and a toddler.”
Boppy
Boppy x Babylist Organic Support Nursing Pillow
“The Boppy made nursing so much more comfortable, especially during those late-night feedings. It was a real lifesaver for middle-of-the-night moments.”
Larken
Larken X Nursing + Hands-Free Pumping Bra
“This hands-free bra became essential when I went back to work as a PA. It allowed me to pump while charting, making it much easier to balance work and motherhood.”
Frida Baby
Baby Basics Kit
“Once daycare starts, so does the snot! This product is a must-have for easing your baby’s symptoms and keeping them comfortable.”
