Doudou bebe is an online boutique for babies and mamas. Their tag line, “Little luxuries for mama and baby” is dead on. They offer many cool items worth drooling over – even if you’re not the baby in this scenario. They have too many goodies to share in a single day, so all week we’ll be bringing you some nice ideas from this online shop.

We do have to start off with baby items – because I’m a sucker for baby gear. And I’m really a sucker for greener baby items.

Beau Dodo Gift Set: This super cute and soft blanket is perfect for babies because of it’s nice smooth satin edge. Every baby I’ve ever met likes to rub the edge of a nice blanket, it’s soothing. Well, my Cedar liked blanket tags too, but I digress. This blanket comes with a Girly or Boyo Cuddle – a toy designed for cuddling and chewing. They’re safe for baby too; Öko-Tex complaint and made of organic cotton and wool. In pink or blue. This set would make the perfect baby shower gift.

Moving up to the toddler years, Doudou bebe offers some great wooden toys (I love wooden toys – don’t you?). This little Fire Truck is really nice, made in Vermont and crafted from hardwood maple. So in other words, your little one can toss this truck around and it’ll stay solid. It’s also painted with all non-toxic paints and finishes. My favorite thing about this item is that you can get it in a 100% natural beeswax finish with laser-engraved details – the perfect natural color, and it looks great. Go see, you’ll love it. Your little girl or boy will really enjoy this truck.

Stay tuned, and tomorrow we’ll learn more about Doudou bebe and see some other nice items – we even have Mother’s Day gifts coming up.

All three come from my new favorite online store ReForm School.

Organic Drumming Squirrel Onesie

Organic Bean Onesie

Sustainable Wood Kiddie Camera

Was I right? You DO need these, huh. I think I’m right. These are way too fun. ReForm School is so cool it hurts, so check out their whole site. It’s the first site in a very long time that’s made me want to shop – and that friends, is pretty rare.

BabyBam Collection is the brainchild of Jody; nature lover, designer, and more importantly, a mama looking for eco-friendly and adorable baby products that would work with both her children’s’ sensitive skin. Frustrated with what was available for the smallest members of her family, she started collecting ideas. When she found bamboo, the BabyBam Collection was inspired.

We’re already a fan of bamboo everything around here, and bamboo baby items are an especially stellar idea. Following are some reasons why bamboo and babies go hand in hand…

• Naturally hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial.
• Helps to prevent odor, allergies and skin irritations.
• Bamboo is a moisture wicking material thus it keeps little ones warmer than cotton in cool weather and cooler than cotton in warm weather.
• Bonus – bamboo is a great sustainable material – overabundant and grow well all on its own.
• Double bonus – bamboo makes the most adorable clothing. I love it; it always looks and feels nice.

Why this is your lucky day – if you happen to be a Tree Hugging Family reader…

The folks over at BabyBam Collection have been gracious enough to offer one lucky reader a very nice couple of gifts, from their lovely collection of products.

One of our readers will win both of the following items:

Bamboo and Organic Cotton Onesie: This super cute onesie is made of soft naturally colored bamboo and organic cotton. No bleach what-so-ever and nice low-impact dye round out this tagless onesie.

This awesome Little Lathers Organic Bamboo Baby Soap: This exclusive mild castile soap is a total treat! Handcrafted with saponified, cold-pressed olive oil, wild yarrow, organic calendula, organic aloe, saponified castor oil, and pure essential oils of lavender and sweet orange. Nice. Biodegradable. Vegan. Cruelty Free. I love how creamy and pretty this soap is – like a tiny ocean.

This is an awesome onesie & soap gift package – great for babies with sensitive skin, the perfect shower gift, and the soap is mama friendly too.

Now how can you win this gift?

1. Anyone in the free world can enter, barring co-blogger Peggy and I. So yup, other b5er’s feel free to play.

2. I think it would be cool if you paid the BabyBam Collection online store a visit. After visiting come back here and leave a comment on this post about your favorite product.

3. It doesn’t matter which product you like best, and it’s really all on your own karma to pay them a visit. Obviously, I’ll have no clue if you did or not, but I do think it would be nice.

4. Make sure you enter by March 19th at midnight. (I’m not going to get fussy about east coast vs. west coast time).

5. On the morning of March 20th I’ll be drawing a random name (or Cedar will) for the winner.

Good luck – and look for more about the BabyBam Collection here at Tree Hugging Family – I have to tell you my favorite product. In the meantime, the company has a really nice BabyBam Collections blog going on, with all kinds of stuff I like. You might be interested in paying their blog a visit too.
