Eco-Baby!

by WiredBerries Editors — July 23, 2008

I have four baby showers on my calendar in the next few months, so I've been looking for a load of cute baby gifts that aren't too pricey and aren't too plastic-y (gotta avoid phthalates, BPA, and the rest). Much to my relief, a new online store has just launched that offers eco-friendly options. Every item found on HappyGreenBaby.com comes from manufacturers dedicated to using organic, sustainable, or eco-friendly materials and processes.

Suffer fluorescent-lit mega-toy stores no more! The online boutique features a wide variety of eco-friendly baby products including:

• Organic cotton, bamboo and soy baby clothing from Sckoon, Bamboosa, BabySoy
• Non-toxic wooden toys and trikes from PlanToys
• Organic cotton and natural wool toys from Lana Organic, Keptin-Jr., Kallisto
• Bassinets, cribs and highchairs made of sustainable wood from Cariboo, Svan
• Organic cotton crib bedding from Pixel Organics, Cotton Monkey, Kee-Ka
• Organic crib mattresses from EcoBaby
• BPA-free plastic and glass baby bottles from Green to Grown, Silikids
• Cloth diapers from Happy Heinys, Swaddlebees
• All-natural bath products from Little Twig
• Eco-friendly and recycled plastic diaper bags from Fleurville

In fact, if you know a soon-to-be mom that is looking for greener options for her little bundle, make both your lives easier and suggest that she enjoy the green gift registry.
