Some people’s creativity and ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.  Take this line of pre-stained baby clothes from Progeny.  Yep!  Pre-stained baby clothes.  The idea was so unique that I felt I had to tell you about it.  At first I wondered, “Who in the world would by pre-stained clothes?  Most prefer their stains out, not in.  So why buy something that’s already dirty?”

Here’s the concept.  Children are messy–get over it!  Anyone who has spent all day feeding and changing a baby over and over knows how frustrating and time consuming it can be.  The idea here is to dress your child in “soiled” clothes (made from actual food, grass, dirt and cosmetics) so the new stains don’t look so bad.  It’s a “misery loves company” idea, I guess.  If the shirt is already covered with grape juice stains that somehow spilled out of the sippy cup, who’s gonna notice one more well-placed drop?

While the idea may be a little radical for some (and maybe even me), I couldn’t help wondering if they included a note for less-motivated parents who might use this as an excuse not to actually wash the clothes.  It could say something like, “Just because a stain blends in doesn’t mean it’s not there.  To be on the safe side, you’ll probably need to wash it.”  Just kidding.  I know that no one would ever be that lazy, right?

I admit, my first thought was that this must definitely be a guy thing!  Maybe, maybe not.  But just in case you’re the old fashioned type who wants your baby to stain his own clothes, here’s a cute way for your baby to say “Lunch Is On Me” without the actual food stain.  This adorable gift set includes a pre-printed (not stained) onesie that comes in a personalized lunch box.  How cute!  It’s a personalized baby gift that gets your baby ready for fun at feeding time.

Now if you’re over the whole “messy baby” idea, you might want to consider a precious outfit that will make your baby look like a little darling whether she is clean or not.  And this pink on chocolate 3-piece baby outfit is just the right outfit for her.  Now that the temperatures are cooling off a bit (thank goodness!) , you’ll both appreciate the long-sleeve top and the coordinating hat.  Since it fits newborns up to 6 months, it’s a great fall baby shower gift!

If you want to send an entirely different message, try some of the eco-friendly baby clothes from Corner Stork Baby Gifts.  Baby can remind us all that you’re never too young to take a stand against high gas prices.  The statement “I only ride hybrid” is just too cute!  There are other designs for the “Eco Princess” and one wishing for a “Green World.”  All designs are made of 100% organic cotton and are kind to the environment.

Breastfeeding has become increasingly popular over the last few years because of research that has proven the overwhelming benefits of breast milk.

Many of the mothers who donate have children of their own, but a good portion of the donations come from bereaved mothers who have lost their babies. These mothers see their donation as a way to honor their lost child. Can you think of a more incredibly selfless ?

According to their Web site, the goals of the National Milk Project are:

• To provide a confidential way for mothers across the U.S. to donate their milk.
• To build a network of support for breastfeeding mothers and parents of premature infants.
• To ensure safety and quality of human milk through screening and processing.
• To provide supporting scientific studies of the benefits of breast milk for all, especially premature infants.

My hat is off to these women and this organization, who truly make a difference in the world every day. I would be hard-pressed to find a more meaningful baby gift than the one I’ve just described, but if you’re lucky enough to know mothers who are welcoming healthy children into the world, you can find many meaningful baby gifts at CornerStorkBabyGifts.com, where babies–all babies—come first.

What is Fair Trade?

Fair Trade is an organized, global, social movement dedicated to creating a market that values the people who make the food we eat and the goods we use. The Fair Trade system benefits over 800,000 farmers organized into cooperatives and unions in 48 countries. As consumers, we can help improve and even save the lives of millions worldwide. Fair Trade:

Keep this in mind when you’re searching for baby gifts, baby toys and the perfect baby furniture. I’ve located several beautiful examples of baby furniture manufactured from fair trade-certified, managed forests in New Zealand and Malaysia. Check out the Jenny Lind Changing Table, the DaVinci “Chloe” Cradle and the Jenny Lind Crib:

Look for the fair-trade mark when you’re shopping for baby furniture. And why stop there? Coffee, tea, chocolate, diamonds and so much more are now being produced by Fair Trade-certified, managed co-operatives and unions. We can all make a difference if we take a moment to look for the label…
