A young friend is expecting a baby soon. She works in sustainability and is very into recycling.. she already has lots of second hand items.
Any suggestions for a present?

Organic cotton muslin squares. Cant have too many of them with a new born.

I have just been looking for recycled and ethical baby stuff too.

The Woodland Trust and Lily and Sid have baby grows and vests. Mulberry Bush and Ethical Superstore have baby toys.

A word of advice, if you are buying clothes, buy the six month size as they grow out of the smallest sizes very quickly, unless they are prem.

I won’t buy clothes because I know she has plenty but I will check out those sites for toys.

Do you want to get something for a baby? Or, would a suitable toy be appropriate? Don't they make good quality wooden toys?

Knit or crochet an item with wool you already have. A striped pram blanket or a tiny teddy.
