Bamboo fiber is the latest green alternative to cotton and beats it hands down for softness and wear-ability. This cute baby set makes a wonderful baby shower gift and moms-to-be will love the softness and quality of the fabric. It’s reassuring to know that bamboo fiber is naturally hypoallergenic and much warmer than cotton, but at the same time regulates heat much better, so that baby won’t overheat when snuggled up in the gorgeous cuddly hooded blanket, even on warmer days. Plus the almost total UV protection offered by bamboo fabric makes the hat perfect for protecting summer babies from too much sunshine. If the new mom is eco-conscious she’ll love the fact that bamboo is a sustainable crop with minimal impact on the environment, so your gift will earn you tons of eco-brownie points!

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.
