If you've been looking for a green baby gift for the holidays or for another special occasion, you know first hand that the choices are seemingly endless. Choose one of the 6 green gifts below and your gift will be the talk of the celebration.
Are you stumped about gifts that fit all those requirements? Not to worry. Whatever the age of the baby you're gifting, here are 6 green baby gifts that are sure to please.
Organic Food Basket--Collect organic foods in jars or boxes from a store that is not far from the family's home. This provides or sometimes introduces a convenient resource for organic products. Line the basket with a colorful organic blanket.
Organic foods are grown without chemicals or pesticides and carrying the organic label means that their manufacturing procedure has been certified by the government. Do a taste test sometime and you'll be amazed at how easy it is to tell organic from non-organic foods.
Organic Bath Products--Have fun creating a collection of non-allergenic organic lotion, soap, matching wash cloth and towel, and soft toy for bed time (organic of course). Decorate basket with colorful strips of recycled paper from your paper shredder.
Safe Containers--Give glass bottles, or BPA-free plastic bottles, pacifiers and sippy cups. This prevents chemicals from possibly leaching into liquids that are placed in the container.
Go Green With Cloth Diapers--More than 22 billion disposal diapers are bought and thrown away in the U.S. each year. More than 90% of these end up in landfills where it is estimated that it will take upwards of 200 years for them to decompose.
So,help the new parents go easy on the environment and pay for diaper service for a month or two. Diaper companies offer a variety of prices based on the kinds of options you choose. Surprisingly, cloth diapers can prove to be more economical than their disposal counterparts.
Living Trees and Bulbs--Give a tree such as a Dogwood, or azaleas with the same name (Nancy Robin has beautiful soft pink blossoms when it blooms, Bob Hill has stunning red blossoms,), or bulbs such as Daffodils, Hyacinths, Tulips that bloom during the same season as the baby's birthday.
Choose bulbs that are in bloom so their color can be enjoyed on a table or mantle. Seeing the plant in bloom will also give parents a better idea of where they are best planted in the garden. Whichever you choose will continue to live and bloom year after year and be a beautiful reminder of the baby's birthday.
Air Purifier for the Nursery--Since babies spend most of the first year of life sleeping, cleaning the air where they sleep is one of the greenest gifts you can give to baby and the family.
