The Bite:
Then don't think pink, think green. Our snazzy eco-gifts for mom and baby might not make up for the organic wine that Ma had to give up for nine months, but they'll make sitting through those baby shower games more bearable.
Can't stomach buying another boring baby shower gift?

The Benefits:
- Out-gift the other attendees. Make a splash at the shower, even if you don't win the blindfolded diapering contest.
- Keeping babies safe from chems. Babies' bodies are still developing, so it's important to go for materials that don't contain harmful synthetics.
- Sustainable materials. Organic cotton and recycled polyester baby products avert pesticides and new plastic production.
Personally Speaking:
Jen's bought countless BambooBaby blankets for friends who were preggers. She's raved about them so much that she's convinced us all to take one to the next baby shower we attend.
Wanna Try:
- Bamboosa BambooBaby Blanket - this 30 by 30 bamboo and cotton blanket is naturally antimicrobial and comes in four colors. ($25).
- Vedamama Supple Stretch Mark Cream - avocado oil and vitamins help minimize scarring ($75).
- Fleurville Re-Run Stroller Bag - lightweight diaper bag made from recycled plastic bottles, available in four colors ($70).
- Organic Cotton Baby Sling - 100% organic cotton; available in three colors and five sizes ($50).
- Underthenile Veggies in a Crate - fair-trade, organic cotton teething toys prep baby for CSA membership ($24).
- Biter Onesies - dress up baby in organic, sweatshop-free cotton with a cute Biter message ($20).
Cocktail Fact
Just a little excessive: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's newborn, Shiloh, received a $17,000 diamond-encrusted pacifier.
Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Biters gift a diaper bag made from recycled materials, we'll avert 80,000 pint-sized plastic bottles from entering a landfill.
