 My son, Owen, is seven months. He has no idea that the holidays are approaching. He has no idea that the mountains of gifts are being thrust upon him. And he doesn 't care. He is more interested in things like trying to grab the spoon of mashed banana before it reaches the mouth. When it comes to buying a gift for a child, you are basically buying something for parents to use. Here are some gift ideas for both staff and parents love to dress in clothes Owen baby.I little cute, but for the most part, I just want it in something that is easy to get in and out of and does not slow down the process of changing diapers. Be sure to take into consideration the ease and function of the clothes you choose. complicated clothing that activated in the absence of the horse wish to remain in the drawer. Clothing companies such as the Nile, Pure Beginnings, and Patagonia organic cotton to make beautiful clothes that are sure to be transferred. In addition to organic cotton, Patagonia is home to PCR (Post Consumer Recycled), their fleece clothing line that uses recycled plastic bottles, leaving thousands of sparkling water and soda bottles out of landfills. My favorites are the body with long sleeves and short sleeves from Pure Beginnings, $ 12.99 and $ 11.99 respectively. They come in beautiful colors like natural, lavender, powder pink and seafoam. I also love Patagonia's Baby Synchilla Bunting ($ 64.00). Made with fleece PCR, providing easy access in and out and a lot of cold for the protection of the head, hands and feet. It 'sure to keep your baby warm during the cold months. Available in sizes 3M (three months) through 3T. Look for Patagonia gear at your local outdoor sporting goods store. If you need help finding a retailer of organic cotton near you, check www.organiccottondirectory.net. When it comes to opening a gift, Owen tends to be more interested in this paper is wrapped in the final product. Regardless, there are some great organic toys out there that are a lot of fun. Organic toys are generally made of organic cotton, hemp and wood. Companies such as Germany, Haba and Selecta make beautiful wooden toys, painted with bright non-toxic, non-chip paint or treated with natural oils such as linseed oil. Organic toys are lightweight and easy to grasp for children with their little fingers. Besides the brands mentioned above, Under the Nile and the beginning Yet even make a good organic toys such as stuffed frogs and dragons. All these toys to support the development of motor skills, ease sore gums, and encourage active imagination. My favorites are Selecta Ambrino rattle ($ 19.99). This string of colored beads is made of wood and works as a rattle and a teether. It also has two semi-precious stones amber set into two spheres of flowers. I also love triangle Haba rattle ($ 6.49). Two triangles to form a jointed wooden toy easy and fun, easy and interesting to a child just taken. If Owen has taught me anything, it is that simple is better. If you're looking to spend a bit 'more, look better Pontino Selecta Baby Activity Gym ($ 97.99). This beautiful wooden arch encourage your child to reach and explore. Look for these brands at the specialty store or check your local children www.organic-gift-shop.com. You might consider giving diapers as gifts. I'd like to get diapers in the name of Owen. But wait, a disposable diaper healthy? Brands such as Seventh Generation and Tender Care to chlorine, latex, and fragrance-free diapers. Unlike traditional diapers, chlorine free diapers are non-toxic and help keep rash free funds. Buying diapers might not be the most exciting gift you can think of, but considering the fact that a baby can go through as many diapers a day and ten in my seven months of age still whips through six or seven, you can be sure that this gift will be put to good use. A bag of diapers, depending on the size and brand, will take place between $ 10 and $ 15. Make sure you know the baby's weight before you hit your natural food store, or play it safe and buy big. Regardless, you'll get used up. If the child you have in mind wearing cloth diapers, you might consider the introduction of mom and dad to a nappy service. Diaper services come to your house, pick up dirty diapers, and get a clean cloth diapers once a week and commonly offer diaper covers. Not only do diaper services clean diapers to relieve pain at home cost relatively the same, if not less, than the disposable diapers, pulling down about $ 0.20 per diaper. Diaper services can be found in the United States and gladly provide gift certificates. Your mother definitely would have loved this. The National Association of Diaper Services (NADS) can help you find a service in your area www.diapernet.org. In addition to diaper a baby's bottom, you might think to integrate your gift with baby clothes natural baby powder talc-free, non-petroleum jelly, diaper ointment, or soap organic / all-natural lotions. All articles can be found at your local natural food store. Look for brands such as Burt's Bees Baby Bee, Healthy Times' Baby's Herbal Garden, and 100% organic Babecology. There's really nothing like the smell of a baby, but if Owen smell a bit 'less sweet, I only have a little' streak of Sweet Violet Lotion (Healthy Times' Baby) on him and it softens up. Consider putting together a theme package of diapers, wipes, diaper ointment, and powder or a package of shampoo, wash, baby bath, a towel and organic cotton fabrics and wash. Two products are not required to pass on Burt's Baby Bee baby powder ($ 5.75) Avalon Organic and un-petroleum jelly multi-purpose, I use it on Owen every day ($ 5.99). If you feel up to the task, Pure Beginnings offers them Pure Bath Gift Set, a 100% organic whole, which includes a hooded towel, wash MIT, kimono tie Babecology Bodywash and Shampoo and Conditioner Babecology Serenity (71, $ 99).
