Following on from our first festive blog ‘10 Amazing Eco-Friendly Stocking Fillers for your Toddler’ we’re continuing the theme, but this time for all the new babies out there. If this is baby’s first Christmas, you’ll no doubt be wanting to make it special and putting together the perfect stocking is part of that. A set of our Babycup First Cups is of course of first choice – something that is essential for your child’s development during those early weaning months and years and also enjoyable for your little one to receive and use!

So, that’s one stocking filler. What next? Well, as you will discover in a recent blog detailing our JANEY LOVES 2018 award, we’re pretty passionate about keeping children safe from harmful chemicals (Babycup First Cup is certified non-toxic). But a scary fact is, that in many households the highest rate of indoor air pollution is present in a child’s room and this is largely down to toys which continue to off-gas the chemicals used to make them.

Fortunately, there are many wonderful alternatives which are not only made with natural materials but that are absolutely gorgeous too! Here are our top 10 eco-friendly stocking fillers for your baby’s first Christmas…

Bamboo Whale Spoon £4 

What better way to introduce your baby to the wonderful world of weaning that by doing so with a beautifully hand-carved bamboo spoon (accompanied by your Babycup First Cup, of course!).
