It seems that there are more and more eco-friendly baby products available that inspire creativity and involve less and less P-L-A-S-T-I-C, but I have found a one-stop shop Kangaroo Boo. Most of their toys are made in Europe, but many are made here in the good ol' U S of A. You can browse their website by country of origin, and they even have a category labeled "not made in China". I love it!
I've ordered several items from this company and have been pleased with every order. Some of my baby girl's current favs are:
The famous Sophie the Giraffe by Vulli
Chan Pie Gnon by Vulli
Even better...Kangaroo Boo donates a portion of each sale to children related charities. You even get to choose the charity you want them to donate to from a list of supported organizations. Online shopping you can feel good about!
The atmosphere in this toy shop is incredible and the people are so helpful. Your kids will go wild in this interactive store that is divided into sections, such as art, imaginary play and dress up, a picket fence doll house area, science and nature, outdoor play, infant/todder area, reading, music and building and construction. 
You will find quality brands here such as Melissa and Doug, Bruder, Playmobil, Erector, Schleich, ImagiBricks and these are just to name a few.
I don't know about you but I get a little tired of same old, same old the big retail chains have to offer. The next time you need a birthday gift or a little something to brighten your childs day, head to Brilliant Sky Toys. They have something to offer in every price range. I know where we will be doing our Christmas shopping this year!
