I need gift buying help ASAP!

GraceInCA

I need to send a baby gift to NY.  Baby girl, born a week ago, no registry. Mom and dad are wonderful people and very eco minded, but like elegant things.  Doesn't have to to necessarily be an eco-friendly gift specifically.  Looking to spend $50-$100, open to spending more for the right gift. HALP!  I'm about to order a baby sweater from Ireland, but don't want to pull the trigger on that until I know that's the best thing.

If there's a store local to NY that would deliver something, that would be awesome.

I would go baby paper, Aden & anais swaddle blankets, skip hop diaper changing pad and a paci pod. Try to think of things you would never buy for yourself but you would love to have

Chew beads? An amber teething necklace?

There's a store in Brooklyn called Half Pint Citizens that sells a lot of Eco-friendly stuff. I'm sure there's a lot more places like it in NYC, but it's the only one I've been to. They have a website you can order from.

I'm so bad at coming up with ideas like this on the fly. Was has tons of good ideas! If you aren't ordering for a couple hours I'll look after bedtime (in an hour).

Thank you thank you I'm looking now and this might be it!

If they are planning on cloth diapering you can get all sorts of cute recycled sweater diaper covers online. I've made a few covers out of my old sweaters and they make for very adorable newborn winter Eco-friendly baby pictures! I like giving diaper related gifts if I know they are using cloth since it can get pricey.

First baby? How about a carrier like an Ergo or perhaps another you enjoyed with a personal note about what the carrier meant to you. (I know I'm making assumptions here --) 

With gift receipt in case they're not into baby wearing.

I love this idea.  This is what I might get her for Christmas.
