Create Your Own Organic Baby Gift Basket

Make Your Own Baby Baskets

Know someone who is expecting? Looking for that perfect baby shower gift? Want something unique, that promotes clean and natural living? We have you covered!

In four easy steps, you can create a customized gift!

Gift Baskets, Baby Shower
Start Here

Four Steps:


1.  Choose your container
2.  Choose your items
3.  Choose ribbon colors
4.  Write a personalized gift note

What do the baskets include?


You start with a container and they can be a choice of baskets, hand-knit organic baskets or totes.

The totes come in many styles for either gender or even gender neutral for the parents who wish to keep the gender a surprise! They can be re-used in the nursery or playroom to store toys for years to come. The baskets can be re-used in any room of the house for storage.

All of our items to choose from to fill the containers are inspired by natural and clean living – but there is more...

The Organic Baby


The hand knit baby blankets and hats come with a beautiful story. They are made in Haiti by Haiti Baby and they train moms in their community to knit and crochet, empowering them
Haiti Baby
to earn a sustainable living wage, provide for their children, and keep their families together. Your hat purchase breaks the cycle of extreme poverty in Haiti – one mom, one family at a time. Therefore, when you purchase one of these blankets, you know that your purchase is making a big impact for them.









The swaddles and clothes are made by Under the Nile and the cotton is grown on their bio-dynamic farm without the use of pesticides, chemical finishes, metal-free dyes, zero AZO
Under the Nile
agents or insecticides. Truly the best for a baby’s skin!











How about a little luxury for baby during bath time? Coyuchi bath towels are a great gift to add! Throw in some organic baby washcloths, a natural rubber ducky and an

organic hooded robe with adorable designs by Sage Creek Organics!













Make sure to check out of all the beautiful stuffed animals and other nursery items, like our hand knit pillow cases and mobiles for the crib.

Our 4-step process is easy to navigate on our website, but if you have any questions, our staff is here to help and answer your questions.


Happy gift basket making!

A Mom's Perspective on Cloth Diapering

At Our Green House we are all about providing the best organic and natural products for your baby.  One area that we are very passionate about is cloth diapering!  We sell lots of cloth diapering products, and today we are excited to have our wonderful team member, Melissa, share her thoughts on cloth diapering!


 I admit it.  On more than one occasion I have opened up a shipment of cloth diapers and said I needed a new baby.  The soft organic fabrics, the adorable prints, the high you get from doing something better for your planet (is that just me?) - cloth diapering could be called a passion of mine.  Luckily for me, I recently had my second baby who I can use as the official Our Green House cloth diaper tester.  The baby doesn’t seem to mind. 

But really - how could he?  His little heinie is constantly wrapped in the comfort of plush organic cotton.  We had cloth diapered our first baby too, but that was five years ago and even in that short period of time so much has changed.  My first son used fitted diapers with plastic pants because that was all I knew.  With our new little fella we are using some fitted diapers with lightweight wraps, a few all-in-one diapers, and we’ve tried our hand at the economical prefolds.  Having so many cloth diaper options makes it easier to use cloth all day and night.  With a little experimentation I have found which combo is best for lounging at home versus a trip to the store.  The super absorbent Dimple diaper allows us to use cloth all night long.  The best part about knowing that we wanted to use cloth right away was that there are great options out there for even tiny newborn babies.  They go through so many diapers in the beginning, to think of tossing them in the trash seemed like such a waste (literally).  


We are now two months into cloth diapering with our new son and he is rash-free and happy!  I have a stockpile of adorable cloth diapers that I really like - though I will probably need more babies to test the quality over time ;)  


Check out Our Green House’s selection of organic and natural cloth diapers and feel free to email us with any questions.  My next favorite thing after using cloth is talking about using cloth!
