eco-baby stuff at big box stores?
I have to go to a baby shower coming up and so ordering online is a little tight, as is money. Do the big stores like Toys R Us sell any eco-baby stuff (and yes that's what she wants and no, she's not registered, which is really helpful for those of us that know nothing about babies...)
Re: eco-baby stuff at big box stores?
lol I have NO idea what California Baby is (off to look!) but it sounds popular!
Shopping for a baby shower with no registry info is tough when you know nothing about babies.
I did find a site online that had a toy I liked (an organic soft duck 'stacker') and a cute outfit I might get... gah...all this baby stuff is complicated and expensive!
My friends have all had registries, and it's still difficult for me, so don't feel bad! I can only imagine how confused I'd be if they didn't have any guidelines--I would probably curl up in a corner and rock back and forth, I'd be so overwhelmed!
I really wish I could. I don't even know what's appropriate! I really don't want to look cheap, but I'm also on a tight budget, and they're not.
If there was any way out of this... I'd take it!
Don't buy at BRU if you can help it, they're evil and icky.
In Seattle, Birth and Beyond is fabulous (they're in Madison Valley and have a satellite store in Fremont)... you can get the mom great stuff there. And they can give you fantastic recommendations - - the staff are amazing.
A great shower gift at about $40 is a Moby Wrap... they sell them at Birth and Beyond and many other stores.
I am the 99%.
I would love to get a package of California Baby stuff. Nature's Baby Organics is also a nice line of skin products. Baby washcloths are great if you see any organic cotton ones.
4 of my friends went in and got the cloth diaper trial for our friend. I want to say it was $100 so $25-ish a piece. She used the trial and returned the one's that didn't work exchanging them for ones that did. It seemed to work out pretty well.
I know that Barley and Birch clothes are awesome. The founder/owner Kyle is amazing. But I didn't see any stores in your area that carry them.
I agree with Target suggestion. I know there is some stuff there. I know Kroger stores carry CA and Jason products..(Kroger=Ralphs I think on the west coast)
