Vicki from Real Choice Nappies gives us a demo of Gro Baby organic diapers. The multi-button design allows the cloth diaper to be used as your baby grows and the organic inserts snap in and out of the water proof cover for easy removal.

Check out the video above and let me know what you think of the Gro Baby Organic Diaper (Nappy). The design is very functional and they’re organic, which could make them a great choice for your little Maple Baby!

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!

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!

You might already know about organic onesies and t-shirts, but did you know there are name-brand shoes made of organic cotton, recycled tires, and recycled plastic bottles? It’s true…Simple shoes is a step ahead of the competition (bad pun intended), and we’re not talking about glorified brown slippers in a recycled box here folks. These guys are going all the way with multiple lines of stylish infant shoes/booties, kid’s shoes, and few that you might enjoy as well. I could go on and on about their Green Toe method, but I’ll leave that to their blog because it’s much more fun to window shop. Check out Simple’s shoes made with sustainable materials at simpleshoes.com, and let me know what you think by clicking on the comment bubble above!

Two topics that I consistently hear people griping about (justifiably I might add) are the economy, and dangerous product recalls. The two may not seem connected at first, but we’re quickly learning that our obsession for the absolute lowest price is driving American manufactures overseas. The cost of doing business is lower thanks to cheap labor and nonexistent environmental regulations, but we’re paying for it in many other ways.

If you’re truly tired the endless stream of product recalls, why not do something about it with your economic vote? This holiday season, place your vote for small US-based businesses like Sew Vermont Kids! Run by childhood friends Jess and Missy, Sew Vermont Kids aims to help better the environment by using sustainable organic fabrics. Your investment in their handmade baby hats, funky burp cloths, and reusable shopping bags help support the American economy and they make great gifts. Check them out at SewVermontKids.com and at the Sew Vermont Kids Blog, and don’t forget to tell them that the moose sent ya!
