These brands make it so easy to jump on the organic baby clothes train

If you’re a parent, you know how important it is to keep your little ones safe and comfortable. In total fairness, even if you’re not a parent, you know babies have much more delicate skin than adults. Oh, and that everything goes in their mouths (clothes included). None of that is really news, per se, but it’s definitely info that’s becoming more and more talked about. Organic baby clothes are trending. Even the most die-hard, brand-loyal moms and dads are paying closer attention to what their kiddos’ clothes and toys are made from. And with good reason. There are some incredible kids brands (and we’d know!), but there’s still products out there treated or made with stuff you probably don’t want near your littles.

That’s why more and more parents are turning to organic baby and toddler clothes. Not only are they made from natural materials without harmful chemicals, but they’re also super soft and gentle on baby’s delicate skin. Beyond that, there’s the added bonus of being better for the planet all around. And listen. No one is saying you have to go 100% natural and organic all the time. If that’s not realistic for you and your crew, then stick with what works for you. Even making a couple of swaps from your usual buys to organic and natural options occasionally can make a difference. We’ve made it easy, too, by rounding up a list of organic and natural baby and toddler clothes for every budget, lifestyle, and fashion sense.

Tabeeze Fuss-Free Baby Dressing

Tabeeze

The top of this ingenious bodysuit has snaps that make dressing and undressing much easier. No need to struggle with getting the bodysuit over your baby's head or squirmy hands, and removing the bodysuit after a blowout is a breeze. Unsnap the shoulder snaps during nursing too, to maximize your skin-to-skin contact. These bodysuits (and their Snappy Tees and Zippy Leg Rompers) are chemical-free, made in the U.S., come in white, gold, blue and rust (with colors coming from mineral-based dyes) and are designed from GOTS-certified organic cotton.

Dad isn’t expecting these…

Why is it that dads always seem to have everything they could ever want? Maybe they genuinely don’t want anything that they don’t already own. Or it could be just that he never really mentions wanting something specific. We think there’s a good chance he’s dropped a hint or two, but we’re pretty sure those hints are along the lines of something practical. And listen, we love our dads and our partners, but we just don’t think socks or a cordless drill backup battery really show what they mean to us. We also don’t want to know that much about drill backup batteries. That means every year, Father’s Day gift shopping can be a serious guessing game.

You’ve probably already done the tie thing. The tools thing. The iTunes gift card thing. Those are all fine, but we think we’ve come up with a few ideas you might not have thought of yet and that dad isn’t expecting. Whether he’s a sports guy, a foodie, or a fashion-forward father, we’ve done our research (just like dad taught us). There are some really cool gifts out there—or rather, right here—that are sure to excite him. So start visualizing your dad, stepdad, husband, partner, and any other dad on your list and check out these Father’s Day gifts.

They also walk the walk by donating one for one. They come in multiple colors and styles, but we're fond of this 4-pack with bonus Bombas Hex Tec Sock Bag.

More than one of these ladies kicked a career to the curb to set up shop. Inspiration right this way…

It’s International Women’s Day on March 8, but shouldn’t every day be an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments and work of our female friends? In honor of the many enterprising ladies in town, we’re spotlighting some of our favorite women entrepreneurs running businesses in NYC. Take a look, then go spend in solidarity!

DA SPOT NYC

Da Spot

DA SPOT NYC, a unique fashion boutique in City Point, Brooklyn, not only features 25-plus independent creative brands by people of color but it also houses C.A.N.V.A.S. Art Gallery, featuring the work of local artists. Co-owner Michelle Cadore's goal is to create a unique space to amplify the voices of Black and POC creatives. “As native New Yorkers and Brooklynites like me and my partners liken running a business here to living our wildest dreams out loud. The other thing that drives me forward: Being able to support the local community," she says.

Cricket’s Candy Creations

Cricket’s Candy Creations

Cricket Azima is clearly always cooking up something (she's founder of Kids Food Festival, The Creative Kitchen and author of Everybody Eats Lunch & Everybody Can Cook) but her latest project is Cricket’s Candy Creations in Tribeca. Kids (and parents) can create and play with candy of all kinds (edible slime, candy jewelry, delicious fingerpaint, etc.), enjoy candy-themed films in the screening room, marvel at Wonka-esque installations and more. And of course, you can host a birthday party here or even go to camp.

Gooey On the Inside

We know it may be hard to believe, but some people say Kafi Dublin's Gooey On the Inside cookies rival a certain other cookie with a cult following in NYC. (Starts with an "L"...) Named for their distinct, some would argue ideal, texture, these cookies come in classic and creative flavors that include chocolate chip, s'mores and Cap'n Crunch peanut butter. (Or get a molten cookie in a jar. Yum.) Good to know: cookie Happy Hour runs from 4-6 p.m., when $5 cookies are $3.

Dopple

Love cute, fashionable and distinct kids' clothes but not so into the cost (or trying to find them in the right size?) Check out Dopple, the creation of co-founder and CEO  Chao Wang. This subscription service for stylish and affordable clothing for children, which offers pieces from brands such as Stella McCartney, Chloé, Bonpoint and Dôen, makes it easy to up your kid's look without going broke.

Union Square Play

Run by local moms, Union Square Play offers classes, workshops and open play for members, while also serving as a place and forum for parents to connect. In addition to in-person events, they host many virtual meetups and new mom groups. The pandemic meant closing the original space; now you'll find them on 11th and a Lalo on Bond Street, where select classes are held.

Babe of Brooklyn

At Babe of Brooklyn, the goal has always been to develop old-school all-natural grooming/beard-care products. “One of the greatest things for us are the people we have encountered along our journey. Being in NYC has fueled our outlook on how we approach the business and life by making sure we gain access to and provide quality products and making sure all things Babe of Brooklyn are genuine," says owner Tameka Allen

Saskia

At Saskia, a jewelry studio in Industry City, every bead tells a story and every beaded necklace or bracelet (whether you make it using a DIY kit or purchase one that owner Saskia de Vries has created) is as unique as you are. “I love doing business in NYC for the same reason I always wanted to live here—the mix of cultures, the human interest, the appreciation for flair and color and the adoration of art in all forms," she says.

The Doughnut Project

Tucked in the West Village since 2015: A doughnut shop with a cult following that might stem from the fact that each hand-crafted pastry draws inspiration from food and cocktails. Best of all, it’s a team of three female employees who are creating these unique gourmet doughnuts, like The Everything and Lemon Love Letter. Co-founder and owner Leslie Polizzotto says that some people even drive into the city on weekends from Connecticut, New Jersey and Long Island to get a doughnut fix.

These are the Dry January Essentials you’ll want to keep around all year

Not sure how it ended up being mid-January so fast? Us, too. The holidays flew by and honestly, some days it can feel like we’re still recovering from all the hustle and bustle the end of the year always brings. Then there’s the weird week between Christmas and New Year’s that feels like a time warp (it’s called “Twixmas”, actually). Oh, and then there’s the week after New Year’s where we’re trying to get back into the swing of things and get the kids back to school and remember our routines. It’s no wonder so many of us opt into Dry January. And we’ve got the Dry January essentials to make it a great one.

Dry January is traditionally the month you take to refrain from drinking after the holidays, with the idea that people drank often between Thanksgiving and New Year’s and can use January to abstain. But that’s not the only reason. On the flip side, there are many people who take January to refocus on fitness goals, mental health, or just a full-body reset. Lots of folks are also sober as a lifestyle, not to mention people who simply don’t care for drinking. Maybe you’re just looking for some fun alternatives to alcoholic cocktails. No matter what your reason, these Dry January essentials will make sure this month is anything but flavorless.
