What We're Shopping For In October 2025
From cozy pyjamas to glittery toothpaste and the cutest LEGO set, these October finds make family life a little warmer, easier and way more fun.
The air’s a little crisper, the evenings feel longer, and the holidays are suddenly closer than you think. This month’s picks lean into comfort, connection, and small upgrades that make life with kids a little easier (and cuter). Whether you’re prepping for chilly school runs, adding magic to bedtime, or sneaking in a few minutes for yourself, these are the items we’re loving right now.
As always, while we genuinely love everything we recommend, a few of these items were gifted.
Mustela Baby No-Rinse Baby Cleansing Water with Organic Avocado Oil
Whether you have a baby, have sensitive skin or just love French skincare brands, it's time to try Mustela. The No-Rinse Baby Cleansing Water with Organic Avocado Oil is like micellar water for babies, perfect for diaper changes or dirty hands. And in a pinch, it'll help remove your makeup.
KOMBI Drop Gloves and Mittens
Canadian parents know that once November hits, gloves become a daily necessity. KOMBI’s Drop line offers easy-on, easy-off designs that actually stay put (a miracle, truly). They’re waterproof, breathable and come in colours everyone will love.
DoorDash on Amazon
DoorDash is now available on Amazon. Parents can use their Prime membership to order groceries, snacks or that emergency carton of milk with no delivery fees for DashPass-eligible orders.
Sunday Littles Pyjamas
These soft, eco-friendly bamboo pyjamas are giving cozy-core perfection. The prints are playful without being over-the-top, and they hold up wash after wash. Perfect for bedtime snuggles, holiday mornings, or those “we’re not leaving the house” Sundays.
LEGO Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story Celebration Train & RC Car
It's hard to find LEGO sets for little kids. If your preschooler has grown out of DUPLO, this is a great starter set. It comes with four adorable Toy Story mini figures and four fun vehicles, three of which can be linked together to make a tiny train.
Hello Kids Fluoride Toothpaste in Unicorn Sparkle
Brushing doesn’t have to be a battle. Hello’s sparkly, bubble-gum-flavoured toothpaste turns routine into ritual. It’s safe for kids, free from dyes and artificial sweeteners, and the packaging is cute enough to leave out on the counter.
Joy Laforme Spooky Village Puzzle
If you’re a puzzle family, this one’s a must for October. Illustrated by Joy Laforme, the Spooky Village puzzle is a gorgeous mix of cozy and eerie, with foil accents that catch the light just right. It’s the perfect quiet-night activity for the whole family.
