Natural Christmas Gift Guide ~ Baby and Toddler EditionHere are some of my favorite gifts to give toddlers and babies:

Bamboletta Blanket Baby: Lovingly made in Canada with soft cotton velour and stuffed with natural wool, these sweet dolls are the perfect gift for a new baby. ($28 Canadian at Bamboletta.com)

Earth Lust Birds and Bees Sippy/Bottle: I've reviewed these before on my blog and they are still my favorite sippy; BPA Free, adorable, and fully insulated...whats not to love? I think they would make the perfect gift for a baby or toddler (find them in Canada at Givingifts.ca for 25.95 CAD)

Snug Organic Pajamas: My girls get new PJ's each year for Christmas and a favorite in our house are the ultra warm and cozy Snug Pajamas. They are made in the US from natural undyed cotton, contain absolutely no chemicals, and are just so well made. In fact, my youngest daughter (seen above) has been wearing hers for 2 years and they still fit and are like new. (Find them at SnugOrganics.com for $58.00 US)
Green Toys: We love Green Toys, they are some of the only plastic you will find in our home. I love that they are safe (BPA and phthalate free) and eco made in the US from Recycled Milk Jugs. Best of all, kids love them! We have the Green Toys Tea Set and Dishes Set, but I am really loving the Recycling Truck above. (they are currently on sale at Bumblebee toys for 27.95 CAD).

Finally I love Homemade for the holidays :)
Here are a couple gifts I have made over the years (note the owls eyes should be made with felt if made for a baby or toddler)



If you are crafty at all (or even if your not) try making toys. My girls completely cherish the toys I have made them. Some past things I've made for the babies on my list are name banners, owl softies, quilts, and tag blankies. I get a ton of inspiration for homemade gifts on blogs such as Wee Folk Art, Made, and One Pretty Thing ( a new fave).
I also love shopping for homemade treasures on Etsy. Its so buyer friendly, has an amazing selection, and I love supporting homemade.

Thanks for reading and please post below if you have any great gifts ideas to share :)
