Hands down, my wife’s hand-made embellished pre-fold cloth diapers. It introduces new parents to cloth diapers in a non-threatening way (if they don’t go the cloth route, it doubles as burp cloth)
hand made soaps and no plastic gift wraps. Use eco-friendly material to wrap the gift.
Roar! Fun design!
i want these for my friend!!! because i have no money, i like to give a DIY rattle: recycle a clear plastic water bottle and fill it with different sizes and colors of beans, corn and seeds.

Oh hello! I’d LOVE to win this giftset. That hat is so stinking awesome I can hardly believe my eyes. My baby girl would look so rad in it–I hope we win! Our go-to eco-friendly gifts are varied, depending on the person and baby. Sometimes we like to make burb-clothes out of eco-friendly fabrics, or hooded towels made from organic cotton, or natural lotions and body products for mom and baby, or feeding utencils made from recycled plastics or other materials (even better!). There are so many great ways to give green gifts–I love it!

My go-to eco-baby shower gift for friends and family is almost always embellished organic onesies. Something handmade and simple– and you can never have enough onesies!
I always get BPA-free bottles and organic teethers.
I always give them a gift certificate for a month’s worth of housecleaning to a local co-op service that uses eco-friendly products.
I LOVE the style of all three of these!

I love the onesie! Roar, roar!
My go-to eco-baby shower gift for friends and family is washable organic baby wipes.
And we usually wrap them in a home made blanket.
We use clothe diapers for our son, but most of our friends are a bit reluctant to cloth diapers.
Washable baby wipes are super easy to use, even if you don’t want to go to the whole deal of cloth diapering.
Every time we give washable baby wipes as a baby shower gift our friends are at first surprised, but then they all like them very much. We even have a couple of friend that decided to switch to clothe diapering after using our wipes
I adore giving each mom-to-be a “Pancake Bear and Security Blanket” from the Land of Nod…
Many thanks, Cindi

I’m the first one of my friends having kids but I would definitely give the mom-to-be the book “Great With Child” by Beth Ann Fennelly. It’s a must-read for anyone that has or is planning to have children. I received a bunch of hand me downs so I would keep passing them along.

I LOVE the ERGO baby carrier! Wearing your baby/tot is a great way to bond with them and still get things done and the ERGO is so comfy that it doesn’t strain your back; leaving you able to enjoy the wearing as much as your child without any discomfort!
