Welcome to the Second Annual Natural Parents Network Holiday Gift Guide!

If you need to complete your holiday shopping, find a birthday present for a friend, or just treat yourself to something special, the NPN Holiday Gift Guide has something for everyone. But what's even better, the NPN Holiday Gift Guide is a great opportunity to shop consciously and to support many naturally minded small businesses.

The companies that have provided items for review and giveaway are almost exclusively made up of work-at-home shops or companies that are dedicated to supporting eco-conscious choices. Below you will find information on 54 companies from 22 of our NPN volunteers. The companies are giving away over 58 products, subscriptions, and gift certificates, for a total combined value of over $2,500! As you scroll through the Gift Guide, we encourage you to click on the links for each of the reviews — look for the links to our volunteers' blogs in each heading and read their full review! Our volunteers have crafted thoughtful posts on each participating company with pictures of and links to products that are simply perfect for our natural parenting families.  You can enter to win every giveaway by using the Rafflecopter system below or via the reviewers' site.

Even if you don't win one of our fabulous prize packages, please consider spending part of your gift-giving budget at one of these small businesses. By supporting small businesses, you are helping families, boosting local economies, and supporting ethical practices of manufacturing, production, and selling. We know that budgets are tighter and finances may be difficult, but by purchasing from small, family-owned businesses, you know you will be receiving quality items made with appropriate business practices and personal customer service, all while supporting another family's endeavors.

Many of the companies have included coupon codes — take advantage of them! You can find the coupon codes in the heading of each company listing. (Please note that coupons are not good on shipping fees unless otherwise stated.)

We've broken the Gift Guide down into two sections (click the links below to jump to either section):

				Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel Lining Offered by Bratz In Vogue Price: Click here to see our price Availability: In Stock		48 used & new from$79.99
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:  My go-to carrier for a heavy baby or toddler,November 27, 2011 This review is from: Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel Lining (Baby Product) When my first baby weighed almost 12 pounds at birth (surprise!) and got up to 30 pounds by six months, I knew I needed some good, solid help carrying him. Even without the infant insert, we started using the ERGO when he was still a newborn. (Granted, he was the size of a three-month-old, so it worked out fine.) When he had good neck control, I could start carrying him on my back in the ERGO, too. By the time he was a year old (and not yet walking), I was carrying him on my back in the ERGO exclusively. This carrier made us both happy, saving my back and hips and keeping my high-needs but heavy baby content. The straps distribute the weight evenly across my back and shoulders. I also love how it's adjustable for both my husband and me and doesn't take a great deal to switch it between our different sizes. Speaking of husbands, I let mine pick out what color we would get: plain camel. A different color lining, dear? No. Camel. So it was. But the upside is that he loves to wear it, and I see lots of dads using the ERGO so I consider it a nice gender-neutral option for baby carrying. A couple quibbles that aren't enough to make me dock a star: The straps can dig into my armpits if I don't get them adjusted right. And the version I have (I think they might have changed this?) doesn't fit plus-sizes well, meaning that relatives of mine couldn't/wouldn't use it. (Even though I bought the waist extender, I think they thought that was kind of insulting and stayed away.) I also could never get the hood to work for us, but maybe I just didn't try hard enough, or maybe my kid was more sensitive to having anything touch his head. That first baby is now a 50-pound four-year-old (and this kid barely eats!), and we have a new newborn (much smaller, relatively speaking). I've been using the ERGO again with the baby, and it still works great and feels so comfortable. At his urging, I even wore my four-year-old down the street to a restaurant -- hard on my hips now but easy on my back, and hilarious to boot! The ERGO can take it.  Comment | Permalink
