Earth-Friendly, Bamboo-filled Multicultural Bye Bye Baby Bunting Infant Dolls

Babies love to touch. They love to see, feel and taste – it helps them feel secure (although nothing beats mommy). These multicultural, earth-friendly, Bye Bye Baby Bunting infant dolls are warm, cuddly and safe. Made in the USA by Imogen’s Garden, these sweet babies are composed of 100% cotton chenille and wool felt, and stuffed with naturally antibacterial bamboo*. They have safety eyes and a hand embroidered smile -- the perfect playmate for your wee-est ones (we do still highly recommend adult supervision for play dates). Did we mention they are hand-washable? Each doll is handmade from start to finish by the artist, so slight variations will occur making your doll uniquely yours. Bye Bye Baby Bunting is available as a boy or a girl, and in Asian, Black or Latino skin tones. Cost: $18.50 at dollslikeme.com.

*The bamboo story begins with its naturally antibacterial property, which is retained by the ultra-soft finished fibers. As the fastest growing plant on earth with the ability to absorb 2/3 more carbon dioxide and release 2/3 more oxygen than any other plant, bamboo is the clear leader among plant species for positive environmental impact. Bamboo is processed into luxurious fiber using pollution-free methods with little waste. It is truly a green product that lives up to and beyond expectations.

Unique Gift Idea #1: Growth Charts w/ Black and Hispanic Kids

Parents of children of color regularly span the shelves of baby gift shops looking for culturally relevant gifts. I know this because I get several email messages a day asking if I have seen this item or that. These messages keep me on the lookout. Now wherever I go, I visit craft fairs and artist hangouts looking for unique and interesting items featuring children of color. I was on such a mission at the NYC Gift Fair when I met KiaNicole, a wonderful young artist. We had a lengthy chat about the meager assortment of quality room decor products featuring children of color. I specifically mentioned the need for high-quality growth charts. I am excited to report that Kia listened; they are here, and they are absolutely gorgeous.

This series of four high-quality wall charts make a perfect gift from a doting aunt or grandparent. They are bright, colorful, and sure to add just the right touch to any bedroom. Printed on high-quality vinyl (not paper or cardboard like most) with a coordinating grosgrain ribbon that hangs from two grommets, they are priced right in the same range as other high-quality, designer-inspired growth charts - $49. Two girl designs and two boy designs are available. Take a look, we think you will agree that at least one should be in every self-respecting nursery. This heirloom-quality gift can surely follow your little one until he or she has children of their own.
