Finding a nice, personal, original and perhaps also sustainable maternity gift can be quite difficult. Especially if you are not yet a mother yourself. We give you a helping hand with 6 sustainable maternity gifts for your girlfriend, colleague or sister.

Hard to find sustainable maternity gifts?

No, nowadays there are many webshops and shops that offer nice sustainable maternity gifts. However, if you are looking for a nice maternity gift, it can sometimes be quite difficult to find something that is original and to buy something that not everyone will bring to the baby's visit. So no, in this blog no rompers with ''i love mom'', socks in 9349 colors or a pacifier with a heart on it, but sustainable maternity gifts that you can really arrive with.

1. Cloud light from Cre8

Cre8 is a gift shop in the heart of Amsterdam. You can go here for your promotional gifts, jewellery, clocks and therefore also for sustainable maternity gifts. Everything is made with special laser techniques, 3D printing, 3D scanning and vinyl cutting. They work together with young people who are at a distance from the labor market. Everything is made and produced in the heart of Amsterdam, no outsourcing to the Far East. So a double goal.

“For my own daughter Emma I have a super beautiful cloud lamp made of wood with her own name in it. I think it's a real eye-catcher in her nursery. A sustainable baby shower gift like this is therefore always original, and certainly personal.”

Tip: they also have very nice name puzzles.

2. Booklets

Booklets also belong in this top 6 sustainable maternity gifts. Books are always a good idea, nice to have a lot of them and you can read and pass them on endlessly. My favorites:

• Where's the cake? An exciting and colorful quest through the mountains. The nicest part of this book has to be the beautiful illustrations by the Gouden Penseel winner Thé Tjong-Khing.
• We're going on a bear hunt. A true classic among Dutch picture books. We are going on a bear hunt has been read in the Netherlands for more than 30 years.
• Rhinos don't eat pancakes. A warm funny story that is just long enough for bedtime.

3. Block set

Wooden toys are almost indestructible, so you can be sure that they will last a long time and provide hours of fun. Lovevery 's block set is perhaps the most comprehensive block set ever. The set consists of 70 sturdy blocks and 18 shapes, which together provide play and learning fun for toddlers and preschoolers. This cool sustainable baby shower gift is made from sustainably sourced, FSC-certified wood and non-toxic varnish.

4. Gift card from Gray Label RNTD

A gift card from Gray Label RNTD cannot be missed in the list of sustainable baby shower gifts. At this cool company you rent organic (GOTS certified) baby clothes for a fixed amount per month. This way you always have a good size at home and as soon as you no longer need it, you simply send it back. No clothing management afterwards and overflowing boxes of clothes. Because let's face it, the first year they grow out of size and it is also difficult to use for a second because of the seasons (you really have a completely different wish with a summer baby than with a winter baby).

5. Wee Gallery Jungle viewing cards

The jungle viewing cards from Wee Gallery Jungle cannot be missed in the list of sustainable baby shower gifts. With these viewing cards, the baby has endless viewing pleasure. The contrasting colors stimulate the ability to see. The cards have rounded corners so that the little one cannot hurt themselves and they are made of recycled cardboard. When your baby is bigger, the cards are also fun to teach the animals. A truly original and sustainable maternity gift that lasts a long time.

6. Gift card

With our gift card, your colleague, girlfriend or sister can, for example, rent a baby carrier, pram, breast pump or co-sleeper for a few months. A sustainable maternity gift where the recipient can choose how to spend the amount. The gift cards are available from €25,-. Hopefully, these 6 sustainable maternity gifts have given you inspiration for the sustainable maternity gift that will make someone very happy.
