The elves up north are busy getting Rudolph ready to paint the town red.

But down here everyone is talking about going green.

For an ecofriendly holiday turn to Mama’s Earth Baby. Be it organic nursery items (mattresses, bedding), toys (vegetable-dyed rag dolls, rattles), or clothing (newborn to size 6), the shop is stocked with safe, fair trade, and durable goods.

Moms-to-be can register online or hold a shopping party at home and owner Stephanie Scher will bring the merch to you.

Think of her as your green elf.

And this time of year who couldn’t use a little elf-help?
