A Safer Holiday Gift Guide For Littles

The holiday season is the perfect time to celebrate family, love and the joy of giving. Although the holidays are about so much more than gifts, we know that giving our littles what we can to make them happier and healthier is a joy for us, too.

As parents, we want to choose gifts that will not only bring smiles to our little one’s faces, but also prioritize their safety and well-being. We're here to inspire your stocking-stuffing with some of the best gifts for kids – from brands we trust and know you'll love.

Parents know that nothing compares to seeing your little one’s face light up with joy – especially during the holidays. After all, we do everything we can to see our littles happy! Knowing your kiddos are enjoying sustainable gifts that are safer for their health and made without harmful chemicals can provide you with peace of mind, which in turn, allows you to enjoy time with your children without unnecessary worry. 

Toys and gifts made with non-toxic materials are fun to play with, better for the environment, more durable and made without materials that can cause your little one harm. This is extra important if your little one is at the age when they’re putting all of their toys in their mouth!

Choosing non-toxic gifts will allow your littles to enjoy endless hours of fun and enrichment without any worries from you. To help inspire your non-toxic gift giving, here is our list of trusted brands we know and adore.  

With a heavy focus on sustainability, Finn + Emma offers non-toxic clothing items, nursery accessories and more. This brand uses 100% organic cotton, eco-friendly dyes and all-natural wood materials in their products. And, as an added bonus, their products are super stylish, too! Instagram  @finnandemma

One of the unsung benefits of sustainable parenting? Purchasing products that are long-lasting and durable is better for the environment – plus, it’s also easier on your wallet, too! Toys and accessories made with quality materials are sure to last longer than cheap plastic ones that can harm the environment. This means you’ll spend less in the long run by investing in higher quality, safer toys that will last throughout years of play.

Although the holidays aren’t all about the gifts, it is important to remember how essential safer and healthier gift giving is – for our families and for the environment! Choosing safer and healthier products will not only light up your little one’s face, but also provide you with peace of mind as a parent.
