Organic cotton baby clothes? Only a few years ago the thought of buying organic anything would have cost an arm and leg, but today more and more mums are insisting on buying organic everything for their newborns. We were no different, and although our first was not so organic with his upbringing by the time we had had our third it was organic food, organic clothes and even organic nappies!! We seemed to go organic crazy! That’s not to say its wasn’t worth it, organic products are fantastic, and its nice to think your baby is covered in chemical free cotton.
This inspired us to seek out some really good organic suppliers of baby products. One of the first companies we came across was Natures Purest, who have a fantastic range of organic cotton baby clothes, gifts and organic blankets. They also have an extensive organic nursery range in different styles. See below for some examples of what they do…
Giving organic gifts seems to be the new thing, and so more and more specialist organic brands are coming onto the market. Natures Purest produce all their products in South China, where the organic cotton is made. There are no dyes, bleach or chemicals used during any stage of the production process, ensuring 100% natural and pure.
As part of our gift give away this week we have a Sleepy Safari sleep suit to give to one lucky person. All you have to do is to leave your details of who its for in the comments below, and we will randomly pick one winner to send the gift to!

When we first set out to find toys for babies, we wanted to have hand crafted wooden toys that were quality and had a story. When our first baby was born we were given a wooden rattle by an aunt from New Zealand. It was so simple, but colourful and our baby was attached to it from the moment he saw it! We contacted the manufacturer which turned out to be a toy craft company from the South Island of New Zealand called Gepetto.
Gepetto was established in 1980 and specialises in the manufacture of wooden toys for babies. The wood that is used in the toys is a locally grown sycamore maple, which is harvested annually for toy production. Gepetto is based in the small town of Alexandra in the South Island of New Zealand.
The bead rattle is a fantastic wooden toy that our newborn loved, we knew once people had seen the toy it wood prove every so popular. It comes in a range of colours to suit both boy or girl. Also for teething times, Gepetto do a fantastic wooden teething ring that again come in a range of colours.
If you are interested in one of these then please leave a comment below with the name and who its for, and we will randomly select one form the list and they will get sent one free!

Hi and welcome to Baby Clothes & Baby Gifts! There’s lots to talk about and also lots to give away. Having three kids has allowed me to build up a mass of baby clothes and baby gifts. And over the last 5 years i have come across some many great gift ideas and baby clothes from all over the world, and this blog will let me share all these with you and many more!
Also along the way i will be giving away lots of gifts! Amongst other things i once set-up a baby boutique on-line and brought in baby clothes and gifts from all over the world. All though the store is long gone now, I have gifts and baby clothes remaining which will be given away in mini competitions and prize draws.
Giving baby gifts is great (the reason I set-up the on-line store originally) so giving gifts away each week allows me to continue getting enjoyment out of all the stock I have left over! I hope you enjoy this blog and get many useful tips and ideas for all those little ones!
