Rainbow stacker ($78). I reviewed this toy recently
here. In addition to being a stacking puzzle, this toy by Germany company
Grimm's Spiel and Holz can be used to make bridges, arches, tunnels, homes, boats, or for construction play. The
larger size is really cool, but the
smaller size is just $16.99. All of
Grimm's toys are beautiful and open-ended. I also have my eye on the
Color Connect Game ($34.95), which would be super cool for making designs as well as for playing a strategy game.
Beeswax crayons ($13.49 to $39.99). Do your kids eat crayons? Mine do. That's why I decided to invest in some crayons made with something besides petroleum. The
rectangular ones are fun for rubbings.
Blessed Nest organic nursing pillow ($87). Before my third baby, I tossed the hand-me-down My Brest Friend (stuffed with polyurethane foam containing
flame retardants) and invested in
natural nursing pillows. My baby is one-year-old, and I am still regularly using my Blessed Nest Nursing Pillow, made with organic removable and washable organic cotton cover and filled with organic buckwheat hulls. Read my full review of this nursing pillow

Stainless steel 8 oz. cups by Sanctus Mundo ($7.95). We first purchased these cups about 18 months ago. Since then, several friends and many family members have purchased them after trying them at my home or based upon my recommendation. Dishwasher safe, made in Thailand, and just the right size for little hands, I wrote about why these cups make the perfect child's cup
here.
Stainless steel plates by Sanctus Mundo ($8.95). Because we liked
their cup so much, I decided to also try Sanctus Mundo's stainless steel plates. The smaller 8" size is a good size for my children and they clean up beautifully in the dishwasher.
Stainless steel sippy cups ($16.50 and up). We love both the
Klean Kanteen sippy cup (which my 5yo and 3yo now use with the sport spout) as well as
The Safe Sippy. Stainless steel containers mean beverages are
not sitting in plastic. They also keep their drinks colder longer. We use The Safe Sippy at home and the Klean Kanteen in the car and on-the-go (church, lunch at the park, etc.). My kids have one of each. Note that The Safe Sippy is not leak-proof (liquid dribbles out slowly when not upright). Klean Kanteen recently changed their sippy spout, so I cannot comment on that one (the old one leaks a little, but less than The Safe Sippy). Click
here to read a review of all the stainless steel sippy cups we've tried.
Din Din Stainless Steel Bus Plate ($17.95). Dishwasher safe and made in Korea. We haven't tried this one yet, but I think it is very charming and would make a great gift for a toddler or young child.
Casa Cabana Cardboard Playhouse ($45.95). Made of recycled cardboard, this 27 x 27 x 41 inch playhouse features a door, 7 windows and spyholes and is ready to decorate. An eco-friendly way to encourage both artistic expression and pretend play.
Gift Sets ($25-$100). Still not sure what to give? Check out MightyNest's
