An inexpensive but quality baby shower gift, this handcrafted wooden teething ring is one of those simple essentials of baby life. Teething babies have to gnaw on something and this wooden ring is safely sanded to smoothness and treated with natural food grade beeswax to keep bacteria at bay.

Tied to the ring is a soft organic bamboo velour ribbon, which provide an alternative chewing texture and surface and makes it easier to grasp. It can be untied and washed easily and as well as the lilcac pictured comes in blue, pink, green, yellow and red. Just the right baby gift for the eco-conscious new mom who loves natural materials.

The print itself is pure cotton (sorry not organic here) but the fleece lining is super soft organic cotton fleece, so that baby will be able to kick around happily without any skin irritation or discomfort.

It can be used as a changing mat, sleeping mat, travel blanket or even burp cloth as it is a very absorbent fabric. It is also machine washable at cool temperatures. A very useful gift for baby shower or for a new baby that will always be welcomed.

Eco-friendly bamboo and beautifully designed brushes in natural materials make this a lovely baby shower gift for the eco-conscious new mom. Sturdy bamboo handles on all the brushes are comfortable to hold and the non-synthetic fibers are softer on baby and mom. The set includes hair brush for baby, nail brushes, a bath brush, mirror, massager and bath mitt, as well as baby nail clippers and emery boards. This probably not something that a new mom would buy herself, but is a nicely pampering gift to spoil her with, perhaps combined with a sumptuous natural bath soap or bubbles.
