These Recycled Fleece Smittens are just in time for the cold weather, especially if you take your family up to mountains to see the snow. We city dwellers in the southwestern part of the country aren’t always fortunate enough to have snow falling in our front yards. So every year at this time we gather everyone into the family car and we’re off to see snow. Now these Smittens are something I’ve never seen before. The set includes a child-size mitten and an adult size mitten and one mitten that they both can share.

Visit uncommongoods.com to order your pair for $35. Available colors are Blue and Red. Enjoy the Holidays!

Know any new moms or new-moms-to-be? A gDiaper Starter Kit by gDiapers will be an apropriate shower gift. The gDiaper system is an alternative to the old choice between cloth or disposable. We all know the plusses and minuses of both. We want to be eco-aware and eco-friendly but those darn disposals are so convenient. The gDiaper is disposable because it’s flushable. The outer material of the gDiaper is all natural fiber and is 100% compostable.

The starter kit contains 2 little g’ pants, 10 plastic-free, flushable refills, 1 swishstick, and 1 HUG (handy user’s guide). It is available in sizes Small (8-12lbs), Medium (12-28lbs), and Large (26-36lbs).Visit Amazon.com, where the starter kit sells for $26.28 and includes free shipping.

Glass bottles are back! If you’ve ever worried about chemicals leaching into plastic baby bottles then you’re probably already using glass. But do you also worry about breakage? These Mini WeeGo Glass Bottles have a sleeve that fits over the glass bottle and protects the bottle from breaking. Of course, the sleeeve is free of plastics and is 100% non-toxic. Both the bottle and the sleeve can be boiled or put in the dishwasher together. The sleeve provides a good gripping surface during feeding and another plus is that the sleeve is a great tactile experience for your baby. So we get safety and education all in one.

I like the way the WeeGos look. They’re cute and mini and bright. Visit  babyearth.com to purchase this item, priced at $11.99 which includes a 4 oz bottle and 1 State 1 silicone nipple. It is available in a variety of bright, modern colors.

Rather than putting the usual plastic ring stacking toy in front of your little one, why not try the Stacking Tree by Plan Toys? Not only is it appealing to the eye but it is eco-friendly, having been constructed in pretty shades of green and from recycled rubberwood. Useful as a learning toy or even as a prop among a child’s houses, dolls, and other figurines, the Stacking Tree is a great choice this Christmas for eco-conscious moms looking for variations on the traditional.

Offered for $18 at babyearth.com, it would make a great holiday gift.

With Christmas on its way, I’ve been considering presents for my new little one. Though it’s not a grand purchase, the RaZBaby RaZ-Berry Silicone Teether is a fun stocking stuffer. Available In happy colors with a functional design, the teether/pacifier is non-toxic and freezer safe.

This could be a gift for any little one — it’s not gender specific. Buy it for the little boy and the little girl on your holiday gift list. Best of all, it is only $3.95 at babyearth.com.
