Organic Baby Gifts: 5 Great Ideas To Get You Started

If you're searching for the perfect gift to give to some proud parents in your life then you can't go wrong with organic baby gifts. Not only do many organic gifts look and feel fantastic, but they also help to protect the baby's health and reduce your carbon footprint!

Here are the top five organic baby gifts to get you started.

1) Organic Baby Blankets

There's nothing better for a newborn baby than wrapping up in a soft, natural blanket. Buying a blanket made out of organic materials means that pesticides and chemical fertilizers weren't used to grow it - and they won't be passed into the baby's skin. What's more, organic blankets often feel softer and won't cause allergies like synthetic materials can.

2) Bamboo Clothing

Bamboo isn't traditionally thought of as a material for clothing, but it's becoming more and more common thanks to how versatile and sustainable it is. Buying organic bamboo clothing is a thoughtful baby gift thanks to the fact that it helps to protect the Earth's resources at the same time as protecting the baby's delicate skin! And the good news is that the recipient won't know the difference between bamboo clothing and standard materials - it'll probably even be more comfortable and last longer!

3) Natural Baby Care Products

It's shocking just how many baby products are out there: lotions, oils, soaps, shampoos, powders and more! These can all make fantastic organic baby gifts that ensure the products are as healthy as can be. They won't be full of toxic chemicals that seep through the baby's skin. Natural and organic baby care products are now available from a growing number of retailers, though for the best selection you may consider shopping online.

4) Gift Baskets

More and more stores and online retailers are now putting together organic baby gift baskets for a thoughtful yet convenient gift to give new parents or expectant mothers. These can include anything from natural diapers to wooden toys, organic clothing and organic food! This is a fantastic introduction to the world of organic baby products, if the parents aren't yet convinced.

5) Eco-Friendly Baby Furniture

If you want to give something a little bigger than the gifts above then you can't beat well-made, environmentally friendly baby furniture. Bassinets, cribs, wardrobes and so on will usually come in bamboo (especially if you shop online) which is one of the most sustainable products out there. It also looks fantastic in a nursery!

Organic baby gifts can really be special and memorable if you do some shopping to find the right products. They'll show that you took time to think about the baby's future by protecting their health and the planet they live on.
