Dr. Geary Recommends: HOLIDAY SHOPPING

November 20, 2008

The Holidays!! I have 13 God-children, three children 5 nieces and nephews and several other children in my life to find gifts for…it can be daunting. I rarely shop- as a pediatrician and mother of three I tend to shop on-line, late at night. So I am always searching and researching for the very best products and then I stick with them- especially when it comes to my children.

  • 1. www.idbids.com is an new company whose mission is to teach environmental sustainability as a fundamental concept to our children – just as we teach shapes, colors, letters and the importance of saying “please and thank you.” I especially love their SCOUT, a stuffed cloud character made of 100% organic Egyptian cotton using natural organic dyes. Handmade so that no two are exactly alike.

     

  • 2. www.sensoryedge.com is a one-stop shopping for great toys for kids- they carry all the Melissa and Doug wooden toys as well as a vast selection of furniture and educational toys. Their customer service is excellent- a plus during the holidays.

     

  • 3. www.kangarooboo.com is another user friendly shopping site with a section dedicated to green toys. They have two beautiful mobiles for the holidays as well. I especially like the solemio Mobile by Haba with enchanting butterflies

     

     

  • 4. www.naturalpod.com features natural toys that are innovative, fun, and well-made. The site is beautiful. They sell a sleekly designed doll pram that could be featured at the Museum of Modern Art. They also sell klean kanteen and rain gear- all natural products that are well designed and eco-friendly.
