Hi MC (Not Quite Crunchy Parent),
That is a very good point about the “trendoids” ushering things into the mainstream. Let’s hope that that is true. Meanwhile, I, like you will refuse to pay $120 for the “perfect organic wool, designer-created teddy bear.”

I like that comment about “trendy baby moms”. That is very true for many of the organic/natural items. This is however a process that all new trends must go through…after the trendoids embrace an item it eventually goes mainstream…so it looks good for we average consumers..by next year perhaps we’ll find great toys at WalMart…in the meantime I’m sticking with tried and true favorites like Plan Toys which are reasonably priced.

Wait, you forgot Etsy.com! If you are looking for affordable and eco-friendly and handmade and USA made and Mama made (!) you can find tons of sellers there who make lovely toys. Other than making my own toys I’ve purchased toys from etsy sellers exclusively this year and have had all good experiences.
