  Check your local stores

  We have a children's store in the Portland area, Milagros, and we offer a mix of environmentally-friendly and recycled items for mama and baby as well as cloth diapers and slings. There are other stores in our area that also offer these types of alternatives.

  We have a gift registry at Milagros and I am certain that other stores do this as well. Finding  a local alternative - or an internet alternative- to register at can help point folks on your preferred path for gift items.

  However, as noted in many comments, be ready to just say thank-you and graciously accept any "unexpected" gifts. Responses to our environmentally-friendly or "donate instead of gifts" for any variety of traditional "gifting" occasions have been a little mixed overall.

  As time has gone by and we have maintained our gentle requests, our family and friends seem to mostly support our desires. Of course we still graciously accept every unexpected gift, every gift is coming from the heart after all and that is AlWAYS welcome.    On Umbra on baby gifts posted 2 years, 4 months ago 14 Responses
