If you’re in the market for the perfect organic gift for the new or expecting parents on your gift list I’d recommend a visit to Hand Knit by Cara on Etsy! My favorite is the Little Boy Blue Organic Cotton Box Hat (shown above) which would be a great hat for baby pictures

and sells for a real bargain at only $14 USD. Visit Cara’s Etsy shop and don’t forget to tell her that the moose M.D. sent ya!

My Etsy features usually highlight products from multiple stores, but I found so many cool organic pieces at the Inkpony Etsy store…they get the entire post! If cool images printed on organic clothing (see above) aren’t already enough to convince you to buy, perhaps

you’ll be sold when you hear they use non-toxic water-based inks. Not only does Inkpony of Park City create non-toxic clothing for your kids, they go the extra mile by using sustainable manufacturing like recycled picture frames and remnant cloth to build their screens.  If you are in the Park City or Salt Lake area, you can avoid shipping costs on your Inkpony orders by meeting with someone from the team in person.  Wow, what a cool company!

Today’s feature is small family-operated business coco + milkweed located in my old stomping-grounds of Portland, Maine! This post will focus on their fantastic organic bibs, but you’ll want to visit the entire shop because it’s full of handmade goodies. Bib

descriptions in their words:

• Organic Modern Leaf Bib and Burp Set (to Etsy shop): Vibrant orange modern leaves on a crisp white background. This *awesome* 100% organic and sustainable fabric is 60% cotton and 40% bamboo. It’s backed with 100% organic natural cotton flannel. There’s a layer of organic cotton and bamboo batting in the middle for extra absorption. These fabrics are super soft and bamboo is naturally antibacterial. Available on Etsy for only $16.00!
• Woodsy the Owl Bib with Organic Flannel (to Etsy shop): Sweet dark brown eco felt (made from 100% recycled plastic bottles) owl with hand stitched detail on soft 100% cotton woodgrain fabric. Backed with natural 100% organic cotton flannel and lined with organic cotton & bamboo batting for extra absorption. Topped stitched for durability and finished with a snap closure so only YOU can take it off!

All coco + milkweed products come gift wrapped in tissue paper and if you let them know that it’s going straight to the lucky recipient, they’ll also ship with a handwritten complimentary gift card!

Today’s green goody is a handmade tooth pillow by Lil’ Sprouts Knits of Smyrna, GA. The smiling pillow will be easy for the tooth fairy to find at 7.5″ x 4″ and it’s totally green because it’s made of 100% organic cotton and non allergenic stuffing! The tooth fairy might want to act soon because shipping is free until November 10th. Available at the Lil’ Sprouts Knits shop on Etsy.

If you’re in the market for green baby and children’s clothing but can’t stomach the $30 price tags that often come with them, you might be interested in Feral Empire on Etsy! A self-described chronic crafter, Danielle of Feral Empire has mod designs suitable for all the maple babies on your gift list including:

• Recycle Love Organic Cotton Lap Tee: You’ll find green or baby blue prints on organic American Apparel lap tees for $16 while supplies last.

• Cultivating the Future Children’s Tee: Here’s a super-cool print on soft 100% cotton in children’s size 8. It’s only $14 so you better grab it before it’s gone!

• Triple Turbines Organic Cotton Onesie: I have to agree with the Etsy description, this bold organic onesie is eco-tastico! Hand screened in the USA on natural colored organic onesies in blue or green ink.

If cool designs at great prices aren’t already enough, Feral Empire has launched their own economic stimulus package by offering free shipping through November 10th!
