Today’s TGF Ethical Christmas Gift List focus is on gifts for toddlers.
Chatterpants Giraffe Bamboo Pyjamas are adorable and very soft. Bamboo is warmer in winter and cooler in summer than cotton, so these will last all year. Sue reviewed them earlier this year and you can see what she thought about them here. They come in a range of sizes from 12 months to 5 years. Their price is £18.90.
Only Fair’s Fair Trade Rucksacks come in 3 different brightly coloured animal designs: turtle, caterpillar and cat. They all have a main compartment and 1 or 2 smaller compartments on the animal motif itself. The straps can be adjusted to fit your child, so this gift should last for some years. They are made from cotton in Nepal and are priced at £13.99.
Farmyard Playroom Set – This children’s set of table and chairs is great fun and would look great in a bedroom or even the kitchen. You can buy this set with either a round table or a square one. If you haven’t got room for 4 chairs or your child is duck mad, you could buy the items separately to create your own combination. The pictured set of 4 chairs and a table is available from Kids’ Rooms for £121.
Plan Toys Fire Engine and Fireman - Fire Engines are a favourite with many small boys (including my own). I love this wooden fire engine with its extendable rotating ladder, fire hose and fire extinguisher. It comes with 3 firemen which can be used in a range of role playing games. It’s made from rubberwood with water based dyes and is priced at £36.99.
Kite Kids Girls Mink ‘Loving our Planet’ T Shirt – This is a fun long sleeved T Shirt has a more serious message with it’s ‘Love Life, Love Our Planet’ slogan. It’s made from 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane and there are matching leggings and flippy skirt to team it up with. The price starts at £16 and it’s available in sizes from 2-11 years.
