If you’re looking for a gift for a new baby and are shying away from the traditional blue and pink, here’s one to consider. It seems to me that many parents today are moving away from the traditional to accessorize their children’s gear in colors that are, well, more practical and more stylish. I of course, ever on the look out for gear that will last beyond a few months, have always been a fan of this approach.

If you’re also buying for a new mom interested in going green and equipping her child with organic and natural materials, then this Tadpole Organic Hooded Towel and Mitt Set will meet that need too! Made from soft, 100% organic cotton, this comfy towel set is perfect for a tender newborn’s skin. Large enough to wrap baby up tight, the towel has a hood to keep a tiny head warm and the soft mitt is perfect for bathing a slippery baby.

I like the mitten mitt offered with this set as often mitts without a slot for our opposable thumbs, slips off mid wash and ends up sloshing around in the tub rather than firmly attached to an adult hand!

Include a bottle of California Baby, Baby Wash for the perfect bath time gift.
