gift guide: organic stuffed animalsby brett |
It seems like you can’t turn around lately without bumping into a sock monkey — some cute, some…Not so much. (They’ve gotten a bit grotesque in some of their recent incarnations. I’ve seen faux-cigarette-smoking and drag queen varieties popping up at an alarming rate.) But these retro-fabulous fellas from Grassroots Environmental Products are a great alternative to some of the high-tech toys out there for the wee ones on your Christmas list. Stuffed with organic cotton, and covered with the finest 100% organic Egyptian cotton, this is a great green gift idea!
Price: $30 each

No matter how fancy the toy you can never go wrong with a stuffed toy. I still have the very first one I ever got. He goes by the name Rugo and he is 27 years old and still my favourite guy to play and hang with on a cold winters day. An organic soft toy would make a great gift indeed!!!!! I love it!
I love stuffed animals for any age group - but its nice to get kids started on a green gift. Especially one that can last them their entire childhood of memories. I like the fact that these ones are made from materials a person can trust. I am green gift shopping for multiple age groups and this is a great addition to to complete my list. My other presents are mostly coming from http://www.sweetguides.ca - they have some really cool green gift ideas.
Thanks for the tip, Lizzy!
