(For Baby) Lavender Lab $24

Help Baby sleep with the calming aroma of lavender. (Clinical studies have proved that it works.) Nestled inside the puppy’s velvety head, back, and bottom are aromatherapy packets filled with pure lavender. A gentle squeeze activates the scent, which lasts up to 5 years. You might put him on Baby’s pillow during the day, then move him to bedside for naps and nighttime—if you can bear to give him up. He’s really soft, and he smells wonderful. Baby-safe embroidered nose and eyes.
Today, I Feel… Child’s Tee: Green $19.95
Today, I Feel… Child’s Tee: Green
Invite kids to express their feelings in a fun and creative way: by drawing a happy face (or a grumpy, sad, or silly face) on their shirt. The front panel is chalkboard-colored because you really can write on it with chalk. And yes, it’s machine washable. Comes with a box of colorful chalk and sample faces to draw.
No-Guilt Gift Wrap
Do you ever feel guilty about all the trash that is created with gift wrap? If so, why not try green-gifting. Start with eco friendly wrapping paper for your organic gift. The regular stuff is loaded with toxic dyes and chemicals. Paporganics.com has vegetable-based ink prints on a blend of hemp and recycled paper or Importica offers vibrant, fabric-like sheets made from naturally shedding tree bark. You could also try Classified newspaper sections. They make great wraps and the small type forms a pattern.
You could also recycle old pieces of fabric, or better yet wrap smaller gifts in a nice quality linen dishtowel. What could be better then usable wrap?
Instead of using ribbon, get creative and try topping your organic gift with a bundle of pinecones, holly berries or poinsettias, tied with all natural raffia ribbon. Happy organic gift giving!
