Plant a tree
A nice gift for an eco conscious family is a baby tree to plant in the garden for baby. Baby will enjoy watching the tree grow and it’s great for the environment.
Organic bath set
A nice gift for babies with sensitive skin, an organic bath set will keep baby happy at bath time. From an organic cotton hooded towel to a range of organic skin products, both mum and baby will enjoy splashing in the tub.
Teething toys
Made from organic materials and produced in a fair trade environment, teething toys will very quickly become baby’s best friend.
Organic soft rattles
Soft rattles are an ideal gift to keep little hands occupied. Make sure to pick one made from organic and fair trade materials to make this gift as eco-friendly as possible.
Clothing
Clothing is an easy gift to opt for when buying for a baby, particularly if you’re stuck for an idea. Rather than rush out to the nearest baby clothes shop to pick out an outfit, why not source an eco friendly clothing shop and buy something nice from there? The materials are safer for baby’s skin and mum will be proud to see baby is doing their bit for the environment already.
