Eco gift for a baby boy?

lightisfading

Heya, not certain if this is the right forum, but hope so!

I'm trying to think of a cheap , eco-friendly present for my nephews first birthday. around £10-15 would be good. any ideas? (and links please!)

could you plant a tree with him ( if his Mum & Dad have a garden ) maybe a fruit tree so that he will always know he planted it and that he will get fruit from it too. Sorry all I can think of

That is a nice idea, I have a 33 year old Christmas tree planted at my parents house and that tree means alot to me because I know its history.

Give (on his behalf) a lamb to a family in an Indian village:

You can even opt for an e-card, rather than a paper one to announce the gift.

Then recycle a large, sturdy one-year old sized cardboard box, cover it and fill it with scrunched up, brightly coloured re-cycled paper and give him an hour or two of fun pulling him around the garden playing make-believe... it's the best way to spend your first birthday!!!

the woodland trust will plant a tree in a local forest, for about £10 i think

you get a lovely certificate card etc for them as a memento.. it's my standard baptism gift and everyone loves it!
