You can find just about everything you are looking for and beyond on the site so I thought it was a great idea to share some great gifts I came across while wondering around. Happy Shopping!

Children

Burt's Bees
Any new Mom will love these awesome products. They are all natural, Earth friendly and not that expensive either. Prices range from $5 - $16.



If you'd rather give a small collection, try the Trial Kit. For under $15 you get six products.



Tell Me a Story Set
Inspire kids to use their imagination and create stories with these adorably designed blocks. The set comes with three wood blocks, a 50 page Match and Write notebook and laminated index sheet all packaged up in a muslin bag. How cute! You can support local artists and give the gift of "anything's possible" all at once. Not bad for $35!



Organic Lunch Tote
This is too cute. A great gift for any child in school, this organic lunch tote will get them on their way to a greener life. This is another great Etsy find and at only $15.99 you can't go wrong.



Little Passports
Talk about an awesome gift. Little Passports helps children learn about the world through Sam and Sofia. You would buy a subscription of your choice and watch the little ones explore! They have packages for all budgets as well.



Bright Toss Balls
These toys are great for babies and infants and help with their motor skills. They come in two sizes: 3x3 and 5x5 inches so any small hand can hold them. They are made from organic fabrics and filled with natural kapok fiber. Children will love tossing these around and you don't have to worry about anything breaking. Plus, they are so damn cute!



Matching Shades Puzzle
Being an artist, I can appreciate toys that help kids learn about art and design. My children will have plenty! I absolutely love this puzzle because its a small crash course in color theory. By showing kids that color is so much more than Crayola will enhance their thinking and inspire creativity. By training them early to see the different in shades and tones, they will be on their way to creating masterpieces in no time! Made for ages 2+ yrs. See if there is a retailer near you: Kid O.



Number Book
I love the artist who makes this book. She has lots of other goodies you must check out as well. They are all so beautifully hand crafted, they are hard to resist. This number book is just too damn cute not to buy! Made by hand with linen and organic muslin.



Robots Sketchbook
Great for any young artist, this eco-friendly sketchbook is fun and looks cool. Its made out of post-consumer waste and fully bio-degradable. The paper is also chlorine-free and the cover design is made with vegetable ink. For $8 why not get a couple! This shop has tons of other fantastic items you should check out too.
