A gift guide full of eco-friendly gifts for babies and little kids, including organic cotton clothing, sustainably made games and toys, and thoughtful accessories for the little ones in your lives. 


Eco Friendly Gifts for Babies

Thank you to Made Trade for sponsoring this post. I may receive commissions from purchases made through links in this article. Full Disclosure


Finding baby gifts isn’t hard, but finding thoughtfully made, safe and eco-friendly gifts for babies and little kids is another thing altogether.

This year, instead of searching around mindlessly through the online mall that is the internet, I recommend shopping at an online store that specializes in ethical, sustainable, well-designed products. A store like Made Trade is just the ticket! 

Eco-Friendly Gifts from Made Trade

Before we dive into the gift guide, I want to tell you a bit about Made Trade. 

Made Trade’s mission is to inspire and educate people to live a more conscious, sustainable and beautiful life. Sounds a lot like the mission here at Mindful Momma – no wonder I like this company!

Made Trade partners with small businesses, independent makers, and artisans to bring you carefully curated, sustainably made and ethically sourced products that you feel great about buying and gifting. The company vets all products to meet their seven core values: Fair Trade, Heritage, Made in USA, People of Color Owned, Sustainable, Vegan, and Women Owned.

At Made Trade you’ll find products ranging from home decor and furniture, kitchen and dining, bedding and bath, clothing and accessories and more. But you’re here for the baby gifts, so let’s get on with it!
