7. Lovevery Play Kits (UK Launch in 2025)

Best for: Supporting early development with ease

Previously only available in the US, Lovevery launched in the UK this year and parents are buzzing. Their play kits are Montessori inspired toy boxes tailored to your child’s developmental stage.

Why it’s great:

• Subscription based and delivered every two months

• Toys are beautifully made, sustainable, and safe

• Comes with a detailed parent guide for each kit

  
  

Downside: You can’t choose individual toys it’s all or nothing. But most parents find the kits well curated and worth the spend.

Price: Around £80 per kit (every 2 months)

Final Thoughts: Do You Need All This Gear?

Here’s the honest truth: you don’t need every bit of tech or a top of the line pushchair to be a great parent. But good gear can make your life noticeably easier and that can matter a lot when you’re running on two hours of sleep and reheated tea.

If you’re on a budget, prioritise items that directly affect safety and sleep (like the car seat, crib, or monitor). If you’ve got room to invest in convenience, the Elvie Pump or the Perfect Prep Machine can be absolute game changers.

Above all, look for products that make your parenting journey smoother not what’s trending on social media.
