Eco Friendly Gifts For Earth Lovin’ Mamas

Do you have an eco-mom to shop for? “Eco-mom” is a buzz term for women who make environmentally conscious consumer choices that extend into their baby shopping habits. These are women who can decode a product or a nutrition label with impressive accuracy. They typically avoid chemicals and rely on reusables — you probably won’t find a lot of unrecycled plastic toys or tableware in their home. In a world where 90 percent of toys are made of throwaway plastics, shopping for eco-friendly moms might feel like a high task but have no fear. Lucky for us all, there’s a growing market for gifts that help the environment and are safe for growing littles. 

Whether you’re an eco-mom or just shopping for one, below is a list of sustainable gifts you can feel extra good about giving.
