Happy Birth Day, Baby!

It seems like there’s always someone in the ecofab crew who is scrambling to find the perfect baby gift. So we decided to assemble a round-up of some of our favorite picks to nurture green seedlings. Any mom knows that having a baby means dealing with a lot of heavy baggage. In the premium price range, we highly recommend the fashionable yet functional diaper bag from Rickshaw Bagworks (shown). Available in a variety of fun colors and patterns, it’s hard to believe it’s made from recycled bottles. With insulated, removable bags for keeping juice cool and milk warm and zippered compartments for transporting the
gazillion toys, treats and other things a baby is likely to need in the course of a single hour, this Wee Generation Diaper Bag comes fully loaded with eco-savvy books and coupons. Best of all, Rickshaw donates proceeds from this exceedingly stylish $200 bag to Healthy Child Healthy World, ensuring a win for all!

Pixel Organics offers a charming “yoga” shirt and pants set for the discerning newborn. Priced at $38, these ultra-soft threads are made from 100% organic cotton using water-based, low-impact dyes. Even their stylized boxes (perfect for all-in-one giving) are made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste. If you happen to be in the LA area, you can check out Pixel Organics at Eden’s Green Closet.

These vegan booties are a must-have for baby’s first steps. Offered exclusively from Naturally Trendy, each fuzzy pair is made from fast-growing, ethically-harvested eucalyptus and manufactured at a green facility. Lined in plush organic cotton with vintage insoles, these booties are built to keep little feet cozy and warm. Modestly tagged at $25, each pair comes gift-packaged in an eco-friendly, reusable fabric tote.

Ecofabulous moms know that their ecofab babies should not settle for a silver spoon in their mouths. They need organic, renewable bamboo. With smooth, rounded edges, this $15 set from Bambu combines beauty, sustainability and style. Made from 100% organically grown bamboo, each set comes with two spoons and two forks. Dishwasher safe, forks and spoons are easy-to-clean and grip and won’t stain or absorb flavors. FDA-approved and made without bleaches or dyes, these unique wooden utensils will biodegrade within six months.

What can be more important than ensuring a baby’s first bottle is toxin-free? wee go glass bottles are covered in six colorful easy-to-grip textured sleeves. Available in pink, rasberry, orange, yellow, sky and ocean, bottles are free from bisphenol A, phthalates, PVC and polycarbonates. Nipples are made from latex-free, food-grade silicon. Completely recyclable, these $18 beauties are built to withstand the test of time.
