Best Non-Toxic Holiday Gift Ideas
Several life-changing events led me to dedicate my life to researching safe consumer products. My father’s early death from cancer and a hit-and-run accident that revealed two autoimmune conditions—Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Addison’s disease—were pivotal moments.
Amid these challenges, I was blessed with a healthy baby, which inspired me to find the safest products for my family and share them with others. That’s how I Read Labels For You was born in 2013. Today, my website offers hundreds of free blog posts, in-depth e-books on baby wipes, diapers, and hair color, and curated product recommendations through my non-toxic product shop, iHerb list, and Amazon store. Explore them all and join me on a healthier journey with I Read Labels For You!

Holiday Gift Ideas Under $50
Home & Wardrobe Gifts Under $50
Branch Basics Gel Hand Soap: First, gel hand soap can be a great holiday gift for anybody who prefers liquid soap to bar soap. I like Branch Basics Gel Hand Soap because it generates good lather, is not drying, and is fragrance-free. Plus, it comes in a cute refillable glass bottle.
Branch Basics Wool Dryer Balls: Second, wool dryer balls are a great alternative to chemical-laden dryer sheets. They soften the laundry and reduce its drying time, wrinkles, and static. Branch Basics carries great wool dryer balls. I love Branch Basics, not only because it is a woman-owned small business, but mostly because all of their products are safe and practical!
Wool Dryer Balls in my Amazon Shop: You can also buy wool dryer balls in the “Laundry” section of my Amazon shop.
Molly’s Suds Wool Dryer Balls on iHerb ($10 or 10% off): iHerb is an online retailer, present in over 180 countries, that has eco-friendly packaging and provides either $10 off or a 10% discount. Visit Irina’s Approved Products on iHerb.
Pure Haven Bar Soap (PURE15): Third, my favorite soap bars by Pure Haven are Cocoa Butter and Sweet Orange bar soaps because they fit perfectly in my hand. I really love the soap’s shape! And here is the best bar soap dish if you need one. If you prefer liquid hand soap, look around the Pure Haven website as they have liquid options as well,
Wear Pact Waffle Towels: Further, consider these super absorbent and fast-drying GOTS-certified organic waffle towels, made in a GOTS-certified fair trade factory in Turkey. To get 20% off your first purchase, click on this link (I will get a $20 credit). If you have already bought from Wear Pact before, click here.
Wear Pact Cute Organic Cotton Clothes: Additionally, Wear Pact offers cute GOTS-certified organic clothes made in a GOTS-certified fair-trade facility in India that won’t break the bank. Some pieces are “at least 95% organic,” and others are “made with at least 70% organic.” You can certainly find nice clothes there for under $50. My husband loves their undershirts and comfortable loungewear pants! (First-time buyers, click on this link for 20% off; repeat customers – click here.)

Aromas & Ambiance For Your Home Under $50
Fontana Beeswax Candles (discount code inside): Another nice holiday present that is good for enhancing the holiday ambiance is a non-toxic candle. For instance, Fontana candles have wooden wicks and are made of beeswax and coconut oil instead of petroleum wax. The candles are hand-poured in Pennsylvania and come in a variety of essential oil scents.
Natural Sloth Beeswax Candles (discount code inside): In addition, I enjoy Natural Sloth’s beeswax and coconut oil candles, hand-poured in Texas and scented only with essential oils. If you have a friend who is into candles, look no further – this gift is for them!
Pure Haven Room Spray (PURE15): Also, to put you in the holiday mood, check out Pure Haven room sprays with stimulating aromatherapeutic properties, good for any room in your home,
Kitchen Holiday Gift Ideas Under $50
Grocery Shopping Bags: First, these foldable reusable grocery shopping bags with 6 bottle sleeves are made of GOTS-certified organic cotton fabric in India. In addition, they have durable handles, come in a set of 3, and are available in five colors. We use these bags and love them!
Onyx Popsicle Molds: Second, my son and I really enjoyed making strawberry popsicles with plastic-free Onyx popsicle molds. You can find them in the “Kitchen Gadgets and Appliances” section in the IRLFY Amazon shop, as well as many other great and safe products.
Organic Pique Teas: Third, tea can be a great holiday present for tea lovers like me. Based on my research of the bagged tea industry, plastic-free bleach-free hemp cellulose tea bags are the safest. However, in an ideal world, it is best to use loose or powdered tea without any tea bags. For example, check out Pique Powdered Tea. I also included some of the best organic loose tea on my iHerb Favorite Foods list.
Glass Tea Pot: This 13 oz Rishi Simple Brew glass teapot will make your gift to a tea-lover complete! ($10 or 10% off with my link.)
Coletti Percolator Coffee Pot: And coffee lovers will appreciate an old-school Coletti Percolator Coffee Pot without plastic or silicone, my husband’s favorite. You can find in the “Kitchen Gadgets and Appliances” section of my Amazon shop.
Duralex Exquisite Kitchen Glassware (discount code inside): Furthermore, Duralex makes a variety of dinnerware, bakeware, and drinkware. They are all made of lead-free glass in France. Even their colored pieces were tested free of lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury. Some yellow glasses had elevated levels of barium, so out of an abundance of caution, I suggest avoiding them.
Homeasy Food Processor: Also, consider an electric stainless steel food processor by Homeasy that you can find in the “Kitchen Gadgets and Appliances” section of my Amazon shop.
Aroma Rice Cooker: Additionally, many people have asked me for a rice cooker recommendation. The fact of the matter is most rice cookers I’ve looked at are made of aluminum. However, I have found one made of stainless steel. You can find it in the “Kitchen Gadgets and Appliances” section of my Amazon shop.
Flaky Sea Salt from Iceland: Lastly, a practical and thoughtful kitchen gift is Saltverk sea salt—my favorite is the seaweed variety. Harvested from the pristine Arctic Ocean off Iceland’s coast, it’s produced using 100% geothermal energy. Tests show only trace amounts of cadmium, mercury, and arsenic, and the lowest lead levels I’ve seen in any salt.

Mugs, Water Bottles, & Storage Containers Under $50
Klean Kanteen Water Bottles, Mugs, Containers, & Thermoses: For starters, my husband loves the Klean Kanteen Vacuum Insulated Rise Mug. It’s available on their website. Klean Kanteen makes stainless steel bottles without lead sealing dots and offers a range of durable, affordable options—perfect for slow sippers, busy parents, or anyone who appreciates long-lasting insulation that keeps drinks hot or cold for hours.
Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle: What I like about this bottle is that it has no plastic that can touch the liquid, and there is no paint that can come off. Conveniently, you can buy just the plastic-free cap and use it with any Klean Kanteen water bottle you already own. It is also available in my Amazon shop in the “Water Bottles” section along with Hydro Flask stainless steel water bottle and Life Factory glass water bottle. (Learn more about the Best And Safest Water Bottles here and about why Plastic Bottles Are Not Safe here.)
Anchor Hocking Glass Coffee Mugs: Also, we love US-made Anchor Hocking lead-free coffee mugs, available in my Amazon shop in the “Dishes, Mugs, and Cups” section. Anything ceramic is always suspected of lead and cadmium contamination, and glass is a much safer alternative (learn more in my lead-free glassware options guide).
Glass Food Storage Containers: Another great U.S.-made gift idea is glass food storage containers from Pyrex or Anchor Hocking. You can find these and other options—like lunch boxes—in the “Food/Drink Storage, Lunch Boxes, and Mixing Bowls” section of the IRLFY Amazon shop. I especially like Anchor Hocking TrueSeal and Pyrex Freshlock containers for their airtight, leak-proof lids.
Wooden and Stainless-Steel Cooking Utensils: Finally, I believe wooden or stainless cooking utensils can be a great holiday gift. They tend to be more expensive than plastic or silicone utensils so it might be a good time to switch.
Options For Kids & Pets Under $50
Wooden and Stainless-Steel Toys for Kids: My son loved playing with Melissa & Doug pretend stainless-steel kitchen pots and pans. You can find them and many other safer toys in the “Toys” section of my Amazon shop.
Pure Haven Pet Paw Balm (PURE15): For pet lovers, check out this certified organic paw balm. It will make both the pet owner and their furry pal happy. They also carry a pet shampoo.
Dog Rope Toys: For dogs, consider Ayisoro rope toys in the “Pets” section of my Amazon shop. Every day, my son plays with our neighbor’s dog who loves to tug. So, my son found this natural cotton toy with no plastic, and the dog loves it.

Honeybee Gardens Water-Based Nail Polish: This is a less toxic nail polish for an occasional event or a party. I used to have a nail polish guide on my website, and this nail polish was one of the better choices safety-wise. Generally speaking, I don’t recommend using a nail polish, and you can learn why in my review of the OPI Nail Polish Ingredients.
Holiday Gift Ideas Over $50
Home & Wardrobe Holiday Gift Ideas Over $50
Organic Weave Rugs (READLABELS5 for 5% off): For beautiful GOTS-certified organic cotton and wool rugs, consider shopping at Organic Weave.
Scoria Yoga Mats: If your loved one is into fitness, a Scoria yoga mat may be a good fit for them. As a result of my comprehensive yoga mat survey, I believe the Scoria cork yoga mat is the safest and best performing.
Wear Pact Organic Bath Towels (for 20% off on your 1st purchase click here): Wear Pact also carries organic bath towels as well as cute organic clothes, some of which are made in a GOTS-certified facility in India. Both my husband and I own and love their clothes.
Vacuum Cleaners with HEPA Filter: In addition, consider getting yourself or giving someone a gift of a vacuum cleaner with a true HEPA filter. You can find some options in the “Vacuum Cleaners” section of my Amazon shop.
Austin Air and Air Doctor Air Purifiers: On top of that, an air purifier is a good holiday present of clean air, especially if your loved ones have wildfire smoke seasons, are remodeling their house, or suffer from allergies. After years of research, I have picked out these two brands that I like the most.
Infrared Clearlight Sauna: For those who are ready to invest in infrared saunas, check out these infrared saunas that induce sweat that help detoxification. There is no lacquer or wood finish on the wood for the sauna interior.
SaunaSpace Infrared Sauna (discount available): I use and love the SaunaSpace Infrared Sauna for its calming, restorative benefits. It delivers red light and full-spectrum infrared therapy that supports detoxification, circulation, and cellular rejuvenation. If a full sauna isn’t in your budget, you can start small with the Hearth Infrared Sauna Panel or the Glow Infrared Therapy Light, both easy to use in your shower or bedroom.

Bedroom Product Options Over $50
Naturepedic organic adjustable pillow (discount inside): To begin with, a great holiday gift for anybody who wants to be comfortable and safe is this unique pillow. You can adjust it to the perfect amount of softness and support you need. I used to sleep on a down pillow but became allergic to down. This organic pillow is the closest to down: soft but supportive, and perfect for side sleepers.
Naturepedic Organic Mattresses, Comforters, Sheets, and Duvets (generous discount code inside): In addition, we love our organic Naturepedic mattresses! They are super comfortable and reasonably priced. Also, consider their luxurious Alpaca Duvet Insert Comforter with Organic Cotton Fabric. Plus, Naturepedic offers GOTS-certified organic sheets, duvets, and pillowcases for babies, kids, and adults. I appreciate that they let you buy a fitted sheet separately, skipping the top sheet if you prefer. (I usually use a cozy duvet instead of a top sheet.) They carry percale, sateen, and linen options.
Wear Pact Organic Bedding (for 20% off on your 1st purchase click here): Wear Pact also offers GOTS-certified organic sheets, duvets, and pillowcases for babies, kids, and adults. I like the fact that they let you buy a fitted sheet separately, skipping the top sheet, if you, like me, prefer to use a duvet instead. They offer percale, sateen, and linen options. By the way, I love Wear Pact leggings and wear them exclusively.
Happsy Mattress, Foundation, Topper, and Mattress Protector (generous discount code inside): For a budget-friendly version of the Naturepedic mattress, check out Happsy mattresses. Happsy also offers budget-friendly organic foundations, mattress protectors, and mattress toppers. The safety and quality are the same as those of Naturepedic mattresses.
Holy Lamb Organics comforter: It is a cozy holiday present for anyone in your family. Holy Lamb Organics carries wool and certified organic wool comforters of all sizes. They also carry new mom and baby items, such as a changing table pad and organic blankets, throws, and bath towels. (Learn more about Non-Toxic Changing Table Pads here.)

Non-Toxic Kitchen Holiday Gift Ideas Over $50
Treeboard cutting boards: First, these cutting boards are the best I have used. They are the only boards made from one piece of solid wood and NOT finished with mineral oil. (Learn more in my post about Best Solid Wood Cutting Boards.)
Instant Pot (in the “Cookware” section of my Amazon shop): Second, an Instant Pot, or an electric pressure cooker, is a great gift for a new family. Using its slow cooker setting, you can avoid potential concerns of heavy metals in ceramic slow cooker inserts. (Learn more in my post about the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker.)
Cosori Electric Kettle (in the “Kitchen Gadgets and Appliances” section of my Amazon store): Third, the Cosori stainless-steel electric kettle is void of a plastic or silicone ring that many glass electric kettles have. I love using it, and its various settings are so helpful for tea and coffee drinkers alike.
Cuisinart Air Fryer + Convection Toaster Oven: Many of you have asked about a non-toxic air fryer. After extensive research, I’ve found that truly “non-toxic” air fryers don’t yet exist—some are just safer than others. I chose the Cuisinart Air Fryer + Convection Toaster Oven, which works well with a few adjustments: I avoid the PTFE-coated grill, line the aluminum tray with parchment paper, and use the chrome-plated rack or a P&P Chef stainless steel tray instead.
Pure Effect Water Filtration Systems: My top choice for water filtration is Pure Effect. After testing many filters (and even my own water), I found it works best—especially on our hard, uranium-contaminated water. It keeps healthy minerals, unlike reverse osmosis systems, and the water tastes so good my son loves it.
Clean Water Revival: This is another excellent water filtration option. The company helps you choose the right system based on your local water contaminants.
Water Testing Kits: Though unconventional, this can be a simple, effective, and useful holiday present.

Cookware And Dinnerware Options Over $50
Stargazer Cast Iron Skillets: Cast iron cookware holds a special place in my heart—and in my kitchen. I love to eat! Years ago, I gave my husband a cast iron skillet as a holiday gift. At first, he wasn’t thrilled, but now he loves it and doesn’t even remember his old non-stick pans.
Field Company Cast Iron Cookware: My favorite cast iron brands are Stargazer and Field. Both offer exceptionally smooth surfaces that perform like non-stick without any harmful coatings.
360 Stainless Steel Cookware (generous discount code inside): Alternatively, toxin-free stainless steel cookware is a great option, too. The 360 Stainless Steel Cookware is a US company that makes a variety of stainless steel cookware, including lead-free slow cookers and bakeware. We own a slow cooker, a pie pan, and a cookie sheet that are very well-made and well-performing.
All-Clad Stainless-Steel Cookware (in the “Cookware and Baking” section of my Amazon shop): Another stainless-steel cookware option is All-Clad cookware, made of 18/10 stainless steel in the US, except for the accessories and tea kettles that are made in China.
To conclude this section, we like using Corelle, Duralex, and Liberty dinnerware sets.
Corelle Dinnerware Sets (in the “Dishes, Mugs, and Cups” section of my Amazon shop): For your information, Tamara Rubin of Lead Safe Mama tested these dishes independently. She found them to be lead- and cadmium-free, except mugs. (Learn more about safe dinnerware in my Lead-Free Glassware Brands post.)
Duralex Glass Dinnerware (discount code inside): Also, Duralex makes a variety of beautiful dinnerware, bakeware, and drinkware in France. Even their colored pieces tested free from lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury by Lead Safe Mama. As a warning, the yellow glasses she tested had elevated levels of barium, so I suggest avoiding them out of an abundance of caution.
Liberty Tabletop Flatware: Last, I believe beautiful flatware will make a perfect holiday gift. Unlike all the other flatware I have seen, it is made in the US, not in China.

My Favorite Skincare Brand
Crunchi Skincare & Makeup (ADVOCATE10 for 10% off on the 1st purchase of $50+): This is my favorite skincare and makeup brand. It is the only vegan, cruelty-free, clean beauty company that encompasses all three ideals I value – transparency, safety, and performance. All their products are 3rd party tested for heavy metals. Also, Crunchi products are excellent gifts for people who seek to reduce plastic pollution.

The Kleen Kanteen 8 oz tumbler looks perfect for my 19 month old but the lid is made of polypropylene (#5 plastic) and has a silicone gasket. Is this safe? They do not have other options. Any ideas for 8 oz mugs for kids that hold warm liquids?
Hi Gina! Thank you for reaching out to I Read Labels for You! Polypropylene is not ideal, but among available practical options, it is a better kind of plastic than others.
What do you think of Coyuchi products as I don’t see them in your list of recommendations but they seem to be GOTS cerified?

Even though Christmas is still some months away, we have to start thinking about it, about the food that should not be missing in the kitchen and its accessories, the decoration of the house and, of course, the gifts for the whole family, the latter being very important to take into account the contributions of this article.
A wonderful list of gift ideas for those people who are special to us. Gift ideas for any occasion.
thank you
Hi, Irina!! First I would like to say thank you for all your work!!!! Probably half of the brands I use are thanks to you, starting from organic pajamas to organic clothes, to pots, to organic mattresses and pillows , and ALL of my skin care!!! I am truly truly grateful to you and your guides and your ebooks ( and I purchased all of them). THANK YOU!!!!!
A question please: now I am in a search of wool comforter and I see you have 2 here : holy lamb and sols and last year you had a different brand recommended in your holiday gift. Please tell me your personal opinion on which one you most like.
Thank you again
Galina
Hi, Galina:
I’m really glad that you decided to get a wool comforter. I think they are the best. One of the Savvy Consumer Circle members speaks very highly of Sol products including their wool comforter. But it looks like that at the moment they offer only twin sizes. Holy Lamb, on the other hand, offers a variety of options in prices, sizes, warmth, and they even have a dual-sized comforter. My son sleeps under a Holy Lamb comforter and he likes it. I spoke with the owner of Holy Lamb and even called the mill that processes their wool so I think their premium wool is safe enough if you can’t afford certified organic wool. Does it help? ~Irina
Irina, I really appreciate you updating this list every year. I look forward to ordering many of these products for gifts and I’m so thankful for the discount codes.
Thank you for your feedback, Lorie! We are currently updating the Holiday Gift Idea guide again. So, be on the lookout for new codes and products!
Thanks for this great list! I was disappointed not to see Marie Veronique on the list of skin care. Has that company fallen out of favor with you? Iโve started using most of their anti-aging line based on your review of the Gentle Retinol Serum. Do you think the True Botanicals Repair Serum is better?
Hi, Jody: thank you for asking. I still like Marie Veronique products… However, I believe that True Botanicals serum is more effective. I am 45 and have to use only the best skin care products as I want to continue looking 10 years younger. Plus, I was able to interview True Botanicals COO and became very confident in their desire and ability to do the right thing. ~Irina
Thank you so much Irena. I value your diligence and knowledge! Now is a good time to try True Botanicals. I plan to do just that. One canโt stop time but good care can certainly forestall some of itโs effects.
Great list! I use Annemarie! I love my Kleen Kanteen cup as well. We use and my husband really likes Lodge cookware. Once you get the hang of washing (or rather not washing them), they really work like non-stick. I’m not sure I understand your post about Numi tea?? I have their teas, but your post says…”All other organic teas I have found hemp cellulose in their tea bags.” Am I undersanding Numi makes the tea bags out of hemp cellulose, where other companies say they use it, but just add the cellulose “into” their tea bags?? Kinda like wines added wood chips to their wine barrels for that French or American wood effect on wine? I can’t do Crunchi…they use dimethicone and for me, that is a big no. It might work for others, but I’ve had too many issues with the skin on my body after using lotions with it for many years. It’s hard now to maintain a normal skin barrier. Otherwise, it looks really clean and that can be hard to find. What a wonderful gift and resource to us for you to put this together (not to mention the time in reviewing many products to make or not make the list!)! Thank you so much and Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, Mary! It was a typo and corrected it. Thank you so much for pointing it out. I really appreciate it. Happy Thanksgiving! ~Irina
Irina,
have you ever come across a company called: rawganique. I came across them today online and they claim to be make organic cotton, flax linen, and cannabis hemp products in USA, Canada, and Europe from organic cotton, flax linen, and cannabis hemp grown and naturally processed in USA and Europe.
Please let me know I am on the search for a hemp shower curtain.
Thank you,
Maria
I do remember them. I even signed up for their newsletter. Let me re-visit. Thank you for the reminder. ~Irina
I’ve been looking for an organic bathrobe for over 2 months now … and I have a question – why, everything that’s organic, has to be soooo ugly? I’m ok with unbleached fabric and pale colors, but what about the cut itself? Why can’t they sew it in a way that makes a woman look attractive in their clothing? Instead, most of organic clothes look like potato sacks or granny panties. Is it a general trend that women that care what their clothes are made out of don’t care how they make them look?
Just wanted to vent after looking at some rawganique designs … good lord, my husband would laugh his head off if he saw me wearing that.
I know. ๐ ~Irina
There is a company Canadian based called Skin and quite a few of their products are organic cotton or organic pima cotton. You can find them also on major department store websites (search: skin, organic cotton) or they have their own site although the bigger stores have way better markdowns. Anyway, they are kind of pricey but I’ve bought several cotton robes and undergarments and pajamas/nightgowns and they are very well made and in my opinion very attractive. This is a robe I have in white and pale green: https://skinworldwide.com/collections/organic/products/karin-robe?variant=3518190026779 but I think these are getting mostly sold out as they’ve been for sale since the summer. But I find them very pretty and super soft. I know they are more expensive but the few pieces I’ve bought I don’t regret at all. I don’t work for them or anything like that but I’ve searched and searched also for nice organic clothing for women. I also like Coyuchi very much.
Hi,
Just be careful with Rawganique as I was considering purchasing there before but there were quite a lot of bad reviews. I think they were mainly about customer service and being ignored when you’d purchased something and had an issue with. Not necessarily their products. I didn’t feel comfortable purchasing there after reading reviews.
I am looking at some clothing options and yoga mats. thanks!
I do not recommend their yoga mats as even though they claimed that they are made of PVC without heavy metals, phthalates, etc, they won’t tell us what they use instead. I guess we just have to wait for a whistleblower to educate us on that. I see that they have a nice robe collection by Coyuchi. They are certified by GOTS so the dyes should be okay. Let me know if you have specific questions. ~Irina
great, thank you so much!
Hi Irina, thank you for such a great resource! So useful during this time of the year.
Quick question – you recommend blankets from the Ultimate Green store, what about other items they sell? Did you do any research on them? I am looking at some clothing options and yoga mats. thanks!
Hi, Natalia: it is hard to make a blanket statement about all products sold in the Ultimate Green store. Let me know what you are considering, and I can take a look for you. ~Irina
How about stylish organic clothing for women? Check out my neighbors – http://www.lady-farmer.com. I would love to hear of other companies that sell sustainable organic clothing!
Thank you, Miranda. I was able to find only organic t-shirts and yoga wear so far. I know we do need organic clothing! ~Irina
I just love this list, thank you Irina. Definitely going to get some of the books! I was wondering, bedding wise, organic is the best option in 100% cotton, but what about 100% cotton sateen, or percale?
Not sure I understand your question. Sateen and percale are types of cotton weave. ~Irina
I just bought that hemp shower curtain! I will definitely let you know how we like it.
Great! Please do. Thank you, Laura.
Regarding the kitchen, did you find something out about Elves & Angels? I know you previously wrote an article on them and Camden Rose so I am just curious. They also have kitchens. I am actually trying to decide between Camden Rose’s playstand or Elves & Angels for my almost 3 1/2 year old son.
Hi, Jessica: I had not looked into Elves & Angels since I wrote that post. But since you asked I’ve looked and I see that Elves & Angels use solid wood and CARB II plywood whereas Camden Rose is all solid wood. You might want to ask about that. ~Irina
Thank you, Irina. I ended up purchasing the Camden Rose playstand that should be here this Thursday.
I am so glad. They are heirloom pieces. ~Irina
Thank you for your list, Irina! ๐ I LOVE Coyuchi as well for their organic bedding options. This is an awesome resource for holiday shopping! Thanks again!
Thank you Irina! I had considered glass but had not found smaller sets like those. We use glass cups with a lid & straw so going with smaller glass plates is great. Thank you again!
Thank you for this list. Love the ideas on here & I will be adding some items to my wish list. I was wondering what your thoughts on kids plates are? We are looking to replace the ones we have (& take our last step to being plastic free for the kids) & we are considering bamboo plates by Avanchy or Love Mae. Do you have any other suggestions or things to look for to make sure we are choosing a safe option? Thank you!
Hi, Kendra: bamboo is definitely better than plastic. However, there is not much information availble as to what may leach out of bamboo and most bamboo comes from China. You want to ask where bamboo came from, if bamboo is organic, and if there is any chlorine bleach and glue. Have you considered glass? I know it can break but tempered glass is more durable. These glass plates are made in France. Let me know what you find out. ~Irina
Great gift ideas! Thank you for doing all the research and your wonderful suggestions!!!
Love the holiday gift list suggestions! Thank you!!! It will be helpful and I already know what I will get for some of my family members now!
