I highly recommend under the nile. I also have a rec for the best nursing pillow ever but it is around $100... not sure of budget or if they plan to nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493647 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:45:21 +0000 pelikila 1493647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Under the Nile is a very nice brand for organic clothing.<br /> <a href="http://www.underthenile.com/underthenile/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.underthenile.com/underthenile/index.php</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493592 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:21:13 +0000 snowjewelz 1493592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just came in here b/c I wanted to see if there are any descriptions of what being "crunchy" means :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493466 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 07:02:34 +0000 ShootingStar 1493466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd suggest a pack of Green Mountain pre-folds. They are awesome as burp cloths and of course can be used for cloth diapering too. I have size small, which are good, but you could go a size bigger too. Oh, and maybe a pack of cloth wipes too. I don't CD at the moment, but cloth wipes are amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493450 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 06:42:49 +0000 Silva 1493450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always give one of these sleep gowns: <a href="http://amzn.com/B00F0RV6O2" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.com/B00F0RV6O2</a> </p> <p>they were our favorite when our daughter was tiny. books are always a lovely gift. And if you're looking to spend a bit more, NUI organics makes incredibly soft merino wool baby clothes. If I was rich my kid would exclusively wear their clothing during the first three months. Wool is great for babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493418 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 05:31:55 +0000 Zbug 1493418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or clothing from kickee pants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493413 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 04:46:44 +0000 Mrs. Chipmunk 1493413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/baobaborganics" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/shop/baobaborganics</a> Love their stuff.</p> <p>If you can find organic one piece fitted pjs with feet those are the most useful clothes ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493377 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 01:28:24 +0000 birdofafeather 1493377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plan toys, honest baby products, a&amp;a bamboo blankets, organic cotton clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493217 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 22:03:23 +0000 78h2o 1493217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: Yay, I'm glad to hear they were good (and kind!) in person! For the last 6 mo or so, it has been the only cd that's kept my daughter from fussing in the car! </p> <p>Incidentally, this is the book my mom got me that has a little bit of a nature focus: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1584690909/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1394765820&#038;sr=1-1&#038;pi=SY200_QL40" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1584690909/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1394765820&#038;sr=1-1&#038;pi=SY200_QL40</a><br /> They have it on regular (not board book) hard cover as well. It's a sweet book... I ask J to point to the mommies/daddies and the babies and she is able to do so.</p> <p>ETA: Here is a better link: <a href="http://www.dawnpub.com/our-books/if-you-were-my-baby-a-wildlife-lullaby/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dawnpub.com/our-books/if-you-were-my-baby-a-wildlife-lullaby/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493159 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:26:22 +0000 Zbug 1493159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have found some Green Toys toys that I really like.

They played a free concert at the elementary school that Ellie attends and we took the girls (Lorelei was only 3/4 months old) and it was a blast. They were so nice! They even talked with Ellie at the end and were just fantastically polite to her and thoughtful.</p> <p>I dunno. I'm sure we're over-generalizing. At least I am. 'Cause I was essentially just thinking about gifts I (I mean we ;) ) would like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493155 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:24:44 +0000 allison 1493155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wool (Nui Organics), organic muslin swaddles, wooden/crochet teethers and rattles (Etsy has some great ones).</p> <p>Basically any organic cotton clothing or accessories (like blankets, burp cloths, etc) would be great, I would think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493151 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:22:11 +0000 78h2o 1493151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: that's a good idea! My mom just gave my LO a book with a nature focus that I really like, so I'll suggest that. I also like the poetry and artwork ideas.</p> <p>The gift I sent them was a small thing - an Okie Dokie Brothers cd, but I think they will like it since they play bluegrass...</p> <p>These are all good ideas - thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493145 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:18:03 +0000 78h2o 1493145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: oooh, that Kate Quinn stuff is cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493143 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:16:47 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1493143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think books are great and appreciated by almost anyone! Maybe some poetry with a nature focus? Not many people give poetry and it's so fun for little kids/babies. Or some neat artwork? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493130 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:10:52 +0000 78h2o 1493130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbylyn: that's a good idea, but unfortunately we don't live in the same state and I have no idea what's near them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493119 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:06:32 +0000 abbylyn 1493119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If there's a local baby store (not a chain), a gift certificate is a great gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493116 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:04:15 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1493116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: we've gotten all kinds of random brands and they've all been fine, but I think Melissa and Doug are easy to find and affordable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493106 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:58:13 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1493106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: everyone loves A&amp;A blankets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493100 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:54:35 +0000 78h2o 1493100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: any particular brand?<br /> @JennyD: love this idea, but the present has to be shipped...

Is it good? I'll look it up... Thanks!</p> <p>@beaker: I know they have an Ergo. I offered her some of our CDs, but didn't get a response, so I don't know what they are doing there. I assume they are using cloth, but I don't know what kind.

To modify it for a baby, you could get some organic or natural baby products. Trial size might be nice. A stainless sippy, those knitted booties with the Sherpa/leather soles. Bamboobies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-baby-with-crunchier-parents#post-1493040 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:33:23 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1493040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amber teething necklace?

I would describe him and his wife as "crunchy" - they are very socially and environmentally conscious, had a home birth, baby-wear, etc. Their baby shower was gift free, so no registry.</p> <p>What clothing lines do you think they might like? (I have some ideas, but want to see if you agree).</p> <p>Any other recommended gear or products?</p> <p>I love all the EMAB products, so that was one suggestion I gave my mom, but not sure what else... </p>
