Unique, eco friendly baby gifts made from safe, natural & sustainable materials, that come from Etsy shops or independent business owners.
Those tiny toes, those extra wide eyes, those special happy baby sounds…..I’m always so excited when a new baby arrives in the life of someone I know.
Holding a newborn is one of my favorite things ever! Plus it’s an excuse to go shopping for that perfect baby gift. I always want my gifts to be unique – something that you won’t find on the baby registry at the big retailers or at the mall.

So I put together a list of baby gift ideas that are extra-special – they are all either handmade from Etsy shops or produced in small batches from independent business owners, and everything is non-toxic and made from natural or eco-friendly materials. Perfect for a baby shower gift or for the holiday gift giving season!
Rattle and teether made from natural wood and silicone. Wood is treated with 100% organic coconut oil. Free from harmful dyes or paints, making it safe for baby.
If this isn’t the cutest gift ever, I don’t know what is. Made from sturdy, reusable bamboo, this 5 piece dinner set is free of toxins and is ultimately biodegradable.
The perfect changing mat for when you are on-the-go with baby. Made from organic cotton fabric with a layer of padding for extra softness. A variety of prints available.
Certified organic skin care, specially formulated for a baby’s sensitive skin. Set includes a baby wash, baby lotion, sniffles chest balm, a bamboo spatula and a cute cotton carrying bag.
GOTS certified organic cotton, double-layer gauze is used to create these stunning swaddle blankets that can be personalized with names, initials or monograms. Choose from Woodland Wild or many other adorable prints.
Handmade from your choice of wood (maple, walnut or cherry) and finished with beeswax and non-toxic paint. A sweet way to track baby milestones! (this shop also sells adorable alphabet blocks!)
Hand sewn bunny made from cotton material and eco fill (a soft, hypoallergenic fiber made from corn), with a small rattle tucked safely inside. Many fabric styles available from this Etsy seller.
One-of-a-kind layette set made from a mix of new cotton fabric and gently used t-shirt material. Upcycling is good for the environment and also makes for super soft fabric. Set includes, wrap top with snaps, one pair of harem pants, one pair of footie pants, and 2 hats.
Set of 3 durable burp cloths made with organic bamboo terry cloth on one side and printed organic cotton fabric on the other, plus unbleached cotton batting in the middle for additional absorbency. Many fabric choices available.
If that isn’t enough, check out even more eco-friendly gifts for babies. And keep in mind that natural personal care products for babies make great gifts too!

I love holding babies. They are such miracles. I wish they had the organic changing pad when I had babies.

Yeah – baby gear has come a long way, even since my last baby 10 years ago!
