When my daughter was an infant, I was nowhere near as eco-inclined as I am today. In fact, I was living in a state of complete un-enlightenment, shopping and going about life without a care about where my purchases were coming from or what was in them.
Today, however, I am a much more conscious consumer. Had I known then what I know now, I would’ve bought only organic crib sheets. Though I prefer to patronize smaller, independent retailers and manufacturers who source their products in the U.S., their prices can get somewhat prohibitive, with some single sheets costing as much as $40. Though I would probably suck it up and pay for what I believe to be a superior product, there are some shoppers who can’t or won’t.
If this is you, you’ll love these organic cotton Safari fitted crib sheets from Gap. Available in 3 colors for less than $20 apiece, you can do something good for your baby without breaking your pockets. Yes, you might be able to get traditional cotton sheets for less than half this price, but trust me when I tell you that going organic is worth it to avoid exposing your child to pesticides and other chemicals.
If you want a more complete look, you can get a matching organic cotton bumper, shown above. It is now on sale for $79.99, down from $110.
Why It’s Green:
- Made of organic cotton
Price: $19
BONUS
