When you begin shopping Green for babies, whether it’s around the holidays, for their birthday, or for a newborn baby shower, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Buying Green Gifts is buying products that are Green: recycled, recyclable, made from easily renewable resources (like bamboo).
Buying Green Gifts is buying for the baby’s health. Buy non-toxic, organic materials only. Especially if you do buy for newborns. Studies show that the first six months of brain development are the most crucial for a child.
Buying Green Gifts is reducing waste:
・Don’t give too many newborn gifts. Many people give newborn gifts, but we all know how long that lasts. She or he grows up so quickly, they might wear newborn clothes only once or not at all if they received too many gifts. Instead, consider giving something in the 10-18 month range instead.
・Consider buying gift certificates, letting mother’s choose things they know they’ll use.
