Where to open a baby registry for organic products?
Amelie Handmade Doll

We are expecting a child in December 2009 (we don't know gender yet) and have started a registry at Babies-R-Us, but cannot find many products: wool/alpaca blankets, cotton plush blankets, modern looking cotton nursery bedding, organic toys, foam mattress, light-weight crib in cherry color (there is one in maple color at Babies-R-Us though) ...
Does it mean that we should open a registry at another store instead? What other national store chain would be good for a variety of organic/quality baby products?


Do you have a buy buy baby near you? They have a bit higher end things, and many organic products.

i want to do some shopping while my husband is at his conference. i will have my baby in a stroller. i am not interested in something like a mall with stores that i already have in houston. i would love to know about some places where i can get fun, unique baby toys or funky organic cotton baby clothes!! any suggestions?


The closest area would be the 2nd Street District (on 2nd, between Colorado and San Antonio). Not sure if they have any stores with baby items, but it's definitely the largest/best shopping downtown.

If you are willing to take a bus (or a Dillo - a free trolley that follows tourist routes (Orange Route goes to South Congress, I believe)), you'd probably enjoy shopping on South Congress (lots more shops, with a wider variety).

  • Toys that the earth can enjoy, too

    A child’s toy box can be an environmental nightmare. From battery-operated trucks to plastic dolls to the overwhelming — and often annoying — packaging, your little one’s playthings may be fun, but they’re hardly good for the planet. Of course, throwing away your kids’ beloved toys isn’t the answer. That would just clog up the landfills anyway. The good news is that there are more eco-toys available than ever before, and their prices are coming down. With the holidays approaching, here are some tips on what to look for when buying toys that are fun and earth-friendly.

    Organic. Buying organic is all the rage — even when it comes to plush toys. The Eco Toy Alliance, an industry trade group, recommends looking for products that have organic cotton and natural fiber filling and that use plant and mineral dyes. While polyester plush is made from plastic fibers and synthetic dyes that are harmful to the environment, organic cotton is grown without pesticides or herbicides. Look for tags that say “certified organic” or “certified nontoxic.”

    Are a wonderful alternative to the regular teething products you find on the market which contain water that you have no idea where it comes from or how safe it is. Some of  them use a gel that is even more “iffy” when it comes to being certain that it’s safe. In fact, there was a recent recall on teething rings such as these.
