Organic baby essentials make great gifts, naturally.

When my son was born there weren't really tons of organic or eco-friendly baby products like there are today. Honestly I thought I was being environmentally responsible by making sure there was no lead paint on his crib. Who knew a scant 9 years later eco-friendly materials would almost be the price of entry into the baby product category.

The beautiful all-natural organic nursery collection from Amenity Home is the newest gift stop on our radar. Their baby collection features super-soft, durable towels, blankets and washcloths woven from undyed organic cotton. You can get them packaged in nifty little themed baby gift sets with accessories like natural rattles and bath products from Little Twig. And the gift sets start at just $36 so not only are they gentle to the earth, but they're also gentle to your wallet. -Betsy
