Unique Organic Baby Shower Ideas

September 24th, 2009 by

Buying items for a baby shower can sometimes be a difficult chore.  You want to find some unique baby shower gifts that you know the mom-to-be won’t get.  Everyone seems to give her diapers, formula, little outfits, blankets…but what’s something different that you know she won’t always get?  One answer to that is organic baby items. While many expecting parents don’t think to ask for organic items specifically, many are very grateful to get them.  This is because buying organic items for a baby is much safer and can help the baby avoid dust and other germs.

Organic baby shower gifts are guarantees to be free from all the harsh and potentially dangerous chemicals that are often used in traditional gifts.  They are also hypoallergenic, meaning that they do not hold in dust.  Many teethers and other items use cornstarch based plastic in them, which is free of lead and other harmful ingredients.  These items are also biodegradable and can be added to your compost heap when your baby is no longer in need of them (although because of this, they can’t go in the dishwasher).

If you’re looking for organic powders and balms, you’ll find you have a number of options.  These balms are made from various herbs and other natural items that have been scientifically shown to help heal up irritated skin and even moisturize while at the same time protecting the baby’s skin.  There are even some organic balms designed for mommy, such as the belly balm that will help prevent stretch marks and erase any scarring that may occur from being pregnant.
