Nalgene Grip-n-Gulp
Unique baby gifts are hard to come by. Everyone has a blanket or binky to sell. But if you have a gift to buy for an outdoor minded parent and baby Lil Papoose is here to tell you the Nalgene Grip-n-Gulp is the way to go!
I give these as gifts all the time because I have some of my own that my kids have used, abused and loved!
Features I love the most…
- Odor Proof: If you find it at the bottom of a backpack from your last outing and it’s still half full of aged chocolate milk, you can dump it out and wash it up without having the odor lingering like in most water bottles and sippy cups.
- Spill Proof
- Super Tough: The Grip-n-Gulp can be dropped, thrown and washed in the dishwasher multiple times and never wear out!
- BPA Free: There is a big controversy on if BPA plastic bottles are safe. Nalgene took BPA out of the equation and is now using Eastman Tritan so parents don’t have to worry.
- Carabiner Loop: Attach to anything with a quick clip of a carabiner.
- Easy Grip: It’s easy for little hands to Grip-n-Gulp.
I usually get a Nalgene Grip-n-Gulp for baby and fill it full of chocolates for mamma! Then tie a bow on the carabiner loop. If you’re looking for holiday gifts this would be a great stocking stuffer as well! They start out at $6.00.

Over at Nature For Kids there is a great post about hydration for kids. There’s also a post about why Nalgene is phasing out their water bottles made of polycarbonate. They’re definitely both worth taking a look at.

Nursing Cover | Hooter Hiders
I’m really excited about these unique baby gifts here at Lil Papoose! When I had my first baby about 7 years ago no one had thought up this amazing idea! Since then I’ve spent 3 years breastfeeding my 3 kids while fighting to keep a baby blanket modestly covering me. No longer! Introducing the Hooter Hiders by Bebe Au Lait
It’s frustrating for a social person like myself to hide away in a room to nurse my baby, and unless around family or close friends I never would nurse in public. But these nursing covers give me a whole new perspective on nursing whenever and wherever. They come in all types of hip and seriously cool fabrics. They also still provide eye contact with you child, which is so important, through a U-shaped opening at the top of the cover. At the corner of the cover is a terry cloth panel to help with any cleanups needed. It folds up nicely to fit in diaper bags or purses. So if you’re heading to a baby shower any time soon keep in mind this great gift for the mother to be!
Here at Lil Papoose nursing covers are at the top of our unique baby gifts list. So check them out!

LIKEaBIKE
While in Moab this spring I came across one of Lil Papooses most favorite Unique Baby Gifts. I saw a toddler scooting around on this wooden bike with no pedals. He would run straddling the bike and then balance and glide across the ground. He looked like he was having so much fun that it made me want one for myself. For how small he was he was maneuvering the bike easily and was going pretty darn fast. When I got home I went straight to the computer to find out more about it.
I discovered LIKEaBIKE! Check it out…
So prepare to throw out the rickety training wheels and hard to pedal trikes. LIKEaBIKEs are able to go so fast it’s really a possibility for toddlers to keep up on longer walks now. This Greman made bike helps develop motor skills and sense of balance in kids between 2 and 5. Most of the LIKEaBIKE cruisers are made out of laminated birch wood. They also all feature adjustable seats. LIKEaBIKE also won top credentials among other wood toys. Need more reasons to convince you to buy one?
At first all the LIKEaBIKEs looked the same to me, but there are some differences. I went through them all and widdled the differences down for you. Here they are…
Mountain - Most popular bike featuring pneumatic tires for better traction and control on ground that gives.
Spoky - Comes with real spoked metal rims.
Jumper - Made out of aluminum and has rear wheel suspension
Mini - For those itty-bitty tots that want to start early.
Forest -Considered the Like A Bike masterpiece. Only design made from beech wood and has a dark green cotton seat.
Race - The first Like A Bike on the scene from 1997. Features solid hard rubber tires.
Midi and Maxi - Created a little larger for those older kids who just don’t want to let go of their nice ride.
And to fully trick out your LIKEaBIKE you can add some of these accessories…
Once again here at Lil Papoose this is a great gift idea that encourages Nature For Kids, something all of us parents should seek for. So add this to your list of must have gifts for kids and unique baby gifts. All of the LIKEaBIKE items talked about here are available at UpsideOver.com

Filed under For The Outdoors | Comment (0)Sprig’s Kid Powered Toys
Kids can accumulate toys really fast. After parents, grandparents and friends give birthday, Christmas and Easter gifts it’s hard to remember what came from who. And if your toys are like ours, they’re all running on semi-dead batteries, making that talking baby doll sound a bit like Barry White.
While looking for unique baby gifts I came across these refreshing new toys from 
, by way of Treehuggingfamily.com. They’re not battery powered toys but kid powered toys, imagine that!
The company describes their products like this, “kids power the fun which fuels their imagination! It’s where batteries stay out of landfills and kids get off the couch. …Active kids, happy parents, healthy planet.”
The line of toys include the Discover Rig, Rally Racer, Baja Scout and several little characters with headlamps that light up when put inside a vehicle.
Here are the main features of the toys:
- Push and pump action makes the lights and sounds work
- Made from recycled wood and reclaimed plastics
- Battery free (no more Barry White)
- Exapandable (mix different characters with different vehicles for new adventures)
I could totally see my boys outside in our gravel/dirt pit creating adventures for hours. These kid powered toys were just introduced this fall and would make great holiday gifts. I’m so excited to see what else Sprig will come up with that encourages Nature For Kids. If you liked this item check in again to Lil Papoose to get more ideas concerning unique baby gifts and kids toys.
