Instead of sticking to traditional gifts, offer the creativity of organic baby gifts. With more emphasis on the safety and comfort of organic products, companies are offering an assortment of these naturally made products. Interestingly, they are widely available in stores and online and can be purchased for modest costs, making them budget-friendly.

Just about any baby product can be purchased in an organic form. Some of the most popular organic baby gifts are infant clothes that are made from 100 percent organic cotton. The cotton is not treated with harmful pesticides and is especially soft. Since organic clothes use fewer dyes, many of the outfits feature earth tones and simple details. Not only are there organic clothing, but bibs, towels and blankets. For an added touch, consider having the name and birth date of the child embroidered on the towel or blanket.

Another option for unique organic baby gifts is organic plush toys. Every child loves stuffed animals and since they spend so much time holding them close, it’s best to find toys made from organic materials. These organic plush toys are easy to care for and don’t contain harmful chemicals, making them safe to tuck in the bed with kids at night. Even better, they rely on simple, basic details that grasp a child’s attention such as rattling and crinkling noises.

Along the same lines are organic baby teethers. These organic baby gifts are free of chemicals and toxins, which means they are 100 percent safe to put in baby’s mouth. They make great add-ons as well, and parents will love having a steady supply on hand. Recycled toys are another option and made from recycled components. They make ideal baby gifts because they can be used well into the childhood years. Examples include recycled blocks and Eco-friendly wooden toys.

Holiday Shopping & Organic Products

December 19th, 2008

Holiday times are closing in fast and parents are scrambling to figure out what to spend their hard earned dollars on for children. What to buy though? While considering toys for the holidays remember that most manufacturing for children’s toys are not ecologically friendly and the toys contain varied chemicals in the make up of the product.How about organic and natural toys… they are out there and parents can feel good about gifting these environmentally and ecologically friendly toys.

Babies explore the world using all of sorts of senses, especially their mouths… Everything ends up in their mouth given the opportunity. Toys are included in this, and recently with the number of chemicals being found in Chinese manufactured toys, it makes us wonder, is there really a reason to worry about lead paint being found in a simple toy.

These toys are not as flashy but stimulate imagination and thinking in children. The educational system is not longer as focused on creativity, so start early at home. These are fabulous toys for interaction between mom and child or between child and child, with out the worry they will break the first time they are dropped. The toys have a substance to them that withstands lots of hard play for long-term fun.

Helping children to appreciate the difference between environmentally and ecologically friendly items is an important lesson in this rapidly changing time.
