It is that time of year and I have already started getting emails asking me about gift ideas, so I thought I should put together a few suggestions.


For the mom who has everything and is not into Cloth Diapering.


1. Piccolo Bambino Organic Fitted Crib Sheet:  This is a little bit of baby luxury.  Not every mom will spend more for organic sheets so they make a great gift item that way.   Also, sheets are great because even if you have some, you can always use more.  These are so soft and will thicken slightly in the wash giving them a sherpa type feel, which will keep baby warm and cozy.

2. Little Beetle Portable Baby Chair  It comes in handy when visiting friends and relatives and is great for families who love to go out to eat often.  A fabric chair is more eco-friendly than plastic chairs but its best feature is how portable it is.  It folds up so small you can keep it in your diaper bag, so it is always available when you need it.  It’s easy to use and comes in cute solid colors and a stripy color as well.  Machine washable (yay!)

Great Stockin’ Stuffers


3. Anything by Little Twig is a sure win.  They contain no synthetic fragrances, artificial colors or parabens and are sulfate free.  The whole product line is a Hollywood fave and has been featured in many popular parenting magazines.  You can choose from talc free baby powders, Baby Wash, Bubble Bath and Baby Lotion.

4.  Baby Leggings. There are so many cute patterns these are sure to be a hit.   They are great in the cooler weather, adding an extra layer of warmth and keep baby cozy.  It helps to cover that gap between the shoes and pants, where the leg is always exposed.  Diaper changes are a breeze with these since they don’t have to removed with each change.  These are always popular with cloth diapering moms as well.

We have Bamboo Leg Huggers and also Canadian Made – Monkey Legs.

For the mom to be:

5.  Anything from Earth Mama Angel Baby will be well worth it.  The product line includes products for both mom and baby so you can make a little package mixing products for both.  All the Earth Mama products have excellent ratings from the Cosmetics Database.  This is definitely a great product line and you never have to worry about harmful chemicals. 

                              

6. A beautiful baby blanket always makes a great gift.  These Minky blankets by Pippalily are soft and beautiful.

More Stocking Stuffer Suggestions:

7.  Toy Straps:  These will definitely be handy when baby starts throwing everything out of the stroller.  There is nothing more frustrating than picking up the same toy over and over again or having to track back through a store trying to find where it was dropped.  This is Canadian Made and features a strong velcro with which you can attach baby’s toy, cup, teether etc.

8. For the mom who has just started cloth diapering.  You can help with accessories such as a diaper rash cream that is suitable for use with cloth diapers or some good quality cloth wipes such as the Northbern Baby Wipes in bamboo or Sherpa along with Wee essentials soap bits to use as a wipes solution.  What is really nice about Northern Baby and Wee Essentials are that the products are quality mom-made products that are not available in just any store.  You can also help build her cloth diaper stash which means you are actually helping her save money all year long by cloth diapering.

   

9.  If you already know they like these kinds of products but are not sure what they already have, then a gift certificate is a good option.  It is a good option if you live far away from each other and will not be able to give the gift in person.   You choose the amount and they can pick what they really need.

10. Anything hand made is always great, so if you can make a gift yourself it is sure to be unique and cherished for a long time. 

Whatever you decide on, it really IS the thought that counts so it is sure to be appreciated.
