What: Organic Baby Gear in Eco-Packaging from Kee-Ka
Why: Been to a baby shower lately? These days Green is in, from recycling gift wrap to using China or ceramic plates and silverware instead of cute, but not eco-friendly baby-themed paper plates and cups. Gifts are Greener too.
Skin care products are all natural and chemical-free and organic cotton is the fabric du jour.
But if you can’t make it to the shower, you should still respect the wishes of the Earth Mother and give Green. I’ve been a Green gifter for years, and I can tell you, it’s never been easier. And nobody makes it simpler to send an Earth-friendly baby gift than
Kee-Ka. The Brooklyn-based company uses certified organic cotton and low impact dyes and practices Fair Trade and Fair Wage policies. Then they go the extra eco-mile by packaging some items in a ready-to-mail gift box made from recycled paper that the recipient can in turn, recycle.
While organic cotton blankets are great, baby will likely spend more “face time” with a burp cloth, making this two-piece
organic cotton set with an oversize bib and burp cloth ($24) is a great choice or you can add a bodysuit for $48. Choose your favorite endearment from cupcake to tiger or the gender-neutral “You are my Sunshine.” We can hear the “oohs” and “ahs” now.
