Are you looking for some eco-friendly, non-toxic Baby shower gift ideas for your friend or family member who’s throwing a. green baby shower? It’s hard to know what to get a new mom and her baby, especially if you aren’t a mom yourself. And these days, it’s important to note that most moms are very eco-conscious, desiring to use natural materials, as well as fragrance-free, chemical-free, BPA-free, and plastic-free when it comes to everything surrounding their precious baby. I know because I am one of them.
Eco-friendly baby shower gift ideas
If you want to veer outside their registry, make sure you still respect their decision to be eco-friendly — nothing with dyes, chemicals, plastics, and only sustainable materials. Also, make sure you see how she decorated her eco-friendly baby nursery, so whatever you get can fit the esthetic.

The most useful baby shower gifts
Eco-friendly baby gifts should also be useful to her everyday life.
Check out my tips on How to Prevent Diaper Rashes! In that article, I talk about the importance of prevention, instead of treating the symptoms, and that starts with what you use to wipe, as well as what diapers are used.
Not only are eco-friendly and all-natural products going to keep your baby safe, but they will also keep him/her from getting uncomfortable rashes that keep them from sleeping.
I know it seems a bit unconventional as a gift, but believe me, if you set her up for success when it comes to the prevention of diaper rash, she, and her hubby, will love you forever. The first thing on the useful list, is my go-to oil for EVERYTHING.
- All-purpose oil
If you want to get them something really special that they might not have heard of yet — friend points — then check out moringa oil. This is the one I use. Do you know-how in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding the dad uses Windex on everything? This is how I use moringa oil.
Does baby have a diaper rash? Use moringa oil. Does baby have a cold? Use moringa oil. Does baby have eczema? Use moringa oil. Check out my review of this particular moringa oil and how it has literally changed my life.
- Eco-friendly Diapers and Baby Wipes
Nothing says I care about you like a giant pack of eco-friendly, all-natural diaper wipes or diapers. But maybe she wants cloth diapers? No, she really doesn’t. Believe me.
These items are expensive! Especially when your newborn is blowing through them like nobody’s business.
Here are some bamboo diaper options, as well as eco-friendly baby wipes.

- Diaper Genie
Keep the stink away with what moms deem the best in the business of poop — a diaper genie. Not only does a new mom need this, but she may not know she needs it until she has it.
- High Chair
Here’s the thing about high chairs. Baby’s will one day grow into tiny kids. They are called toddlers, and they will need the high chair MOST. My parents gifted us this one for our second baby and it’s STILL being used at 3½ years old. This is truly the best high chair that grows with your child.

While I have no idea whether or not it’s eco-friendly, it’s just simply amazing and a must-have for a new mom.
