You have been invited to a baby shower. What an opportunity to get the little one off to a good start with organic baby gifts! You can set the standard for responsible baby care with any of an extensive array of products.
• Clothes
Start with onesies in different sizes made of organic cotton that is so soft for baby’s skin. Add a dozen organic diapers. Whether they are made from cotton, hemp or bamboo, they are super absorbent, yet gentle to the touch.
Perhaps you want to skip the newborn clothes and go directly to larger baby sizes for cute t-shirts, pants, frilly dresses or even practical underwear. 100% organic Egyptian cotton is popular. Don’t forget, though, that pure lambswool is also good for toasty, warm socks, slippers and sweaters.
• Toys
Teething toys are perfect for a baby to chew on, especially when they are organic. Check out a teething necklace with wooden beads or animal shaped soothers. Some items are available with green silicone for comfort.
There is an endless supply of stuffed animals made from organic material. Choose from various sizes and shapes from favourite storybook characters to plain crocheted balls. They are all soft and safe for tiny hands.
• Bed and Bath
Look for cute hooded towels and washcloths made from 100% organic cotton or bamboo. Manufacturers who bother sourcing organic materials also care about the quality of their product. These bath items will be generously cut and well sewn.
Sheets, blankets and swaddling cloths are all available in various organic materials. For a bit of luxury, check out the exceptional dohar made of three layers of the finest organic cotton muslin and block printed by hand with stunning designs. There are also styles and sizes specifically designed for prams.
A Moses basket made from organically grown palm fronds is an exceptional gift. Usually, the mattress and its cover are made with hemp and organic cotton and stuffed with pure wool. Even the thread that is used is organic.
• Body Care for Baby
Even a newborn appreciates pampering with organic soap and lotion. Think honey and shea butter in a blend that you order personalized for this darling babe. You can even buy a calming baby massage oil blended from organize sesame, jojoba, chamomile or rosemary oils.
Baby grooming kits are great for travelling. They usually include a bamboo comb and brush with natural bristles and an organic cotton bib and wash cloth. When you are looking at bamboo products, check out bamboo dishes and cutlery, definitely a unique gift.
In addition to all the organic baby gifts, you might want to make up a gift basket that also remembers the mother. You could include reusable bamboo nursing pads, massage oils and other organic aromatherapy products. A special treat for a breast-feeding Mom who is feeling a bit anxious could be a festive bottle of organic, non-alcoholic wine!
