They can be re-used in the nursery or playroom to store toys for years to come. The baskets can be re-used in any room of the house for storage. All of our items for filling your gift basket are inspired by natural and clean living – but there is more... The Organic Baby The hand-knit baby blankets and hats come with a beautiful story. They are made in Haiti by Haiti Baby and they train moms in their community to knit and crochet, empowering them to earn a sustainable living wage, provide for their children, and keep their families together. Your hat purchase breaks the cycle of extreme poverty in Haiti – one mom, one family at a time. Therefore, when you purchase one of these blankets, you know that your purchase is making a big impact for them. The swaddles and organic baby clothes are made by Under the Nile and the cotton is grown on their bio-dynamic farm without the use of pesticides, chemical finishes, metal-free dyes, zero AZO agents or insecticides. Truly the best for a baby’s skin! How about a little luxury for baby during bath time? Coyuchi bath towels are a great gift to add! Throw in some organic baby washcloths, a natural rubber ducky and an organic hooded robe with adorable designs by Sage Creek Organics!
