Yes it’s that time of year again already! Santa has his hat on and the little elves at Natural Baby Shower are working hard to find the perfect goodies for your little one this year.

We want to make this year the best Christmas ever for your family by helping to make your gifts for your little one that extra special. This Christmas gift guide is not like any other Christmas gift guide, we have made it extra special by picking eco and environmentally friendly products to help make you feel great about giving.

Top 10 Eco Friendly Gifts for Christmas

Natural Baby Shower champions sustainability, from the methods of production, to the materials used and even down to our packaging, we focus on being environmentally friendly. As a result, we have handpicked all of our Eco Christmas gift guide to ensure all of them are safe to the environment, protect the planet and made from certified organic materials created without the use of toxic chemicals (keep an eye out for GOTS or Soil Association logos on our website!)

 

Plan Toys Vet Set

Not only do Plan Toys make the most adorable and cool toys around, they are also super sustainable and eco friendly! Plan Toys make all their wooden toys from recycled rubber wood trees that no longer produce latex, there are no nasties in any of their dyes or glues and the whole process is carbon-neutral too. Plus, Plan Toys love to go that little bit further by giving back to the planet and contributing to a reforestation program by planting over 40,0000 plants.

We love their Vet Set, it’s the perfect gift for any children who love animals! Little hands can check for a healthy heart beat, perform X-Rays, check for a high temperature and give an injection with this perfect role play toy set. Dr Dolittle eat your heart out!

Fabelab Christmas Elf Dolls

 We've given the viral tradition of Elf on the Shelf a mini organic make over with our Fabelab organic cotton dolls. But what is Elf on the Shelf? The festive toy began as a children's book, telling the story of how Santa sends a "scout" elf to check whether your children are being "naughty or nice". The idea is that Santa's little helper watches the children by day, and each night, the magic elf returns to the North Pole to report on whether the children were naughty or nice, only to return the next day in a new position waiting to be spotted.

Get involved with your very own Santa's Scout, organic Fabelab's Elf on The Shelf sent from Santa himself.
