Olivia's Birthday Wishlist

If you read this post Greening our Family Values this will make a little more sense to you.

I want to make it as easy as possible for anyone who wishes to get a gift for Olivia's First Birthday to do so. Please understand that we are not asking for gifts and do not expect them, nor would Olivia even notice if you don't get her anything. But if you choose to, here is a list of appropriate gifts as well as an alternative to the traditional gift.

This is our favorite website for gifts for Olivia and Cameron Nova Naturals Please visit that website and see below for details on appropriate gifts for Olivia's 1st Birthday.

Play Silks - These are beautiful and Olivia loves to play with them. Cameron also uses them as capes to be a Super Hero.

Exotic Animals - Help Olivia build a collection of animals to play with.

Animal Mobile - She still needs a mobile over her crib (she will sleep there eventually).

She needs Bowls that are not made of hard plastic and Spoons as well. These bowls and spoons are beautiful and I hope to pass them along to my grandchildren someday!

Of course, feel free to search this site yourself and find your favorite thing for Olivia.

Kelly just gave me this website The Soft Landing, another alternative for online shopping. It also has some great articles and information about the dangers of PVC, BPA and other toxins found in plastic.

And here are some non-traditional gifts you can give to our little honey:

Cloth Diaper Registry - Blueberry Diapers
Heifer Project Registry - Olivia's Bee Registry

If online shopping is not your cup of tea, here is a list of my favorite stores that offer organic or fair trade items for babies:

Terra Perma - 676 Main St., Laconia, NH 03246,
Stork Organic Baby Boutique - 273 Union Sq., Milford, NH 03055,
NEST Maternity & Baby Boutique - 601 Islington St., Portsmouth, NH 03801

If none of the above are options for you, books and clothes are always appreciated. Please remember, you do not have to get her a gift. Also, please ask Damien or myself if you have any questions about this post.

Thank you for respecting our wishes and sticking to these guidelines.
