Year-Round Reversible Hoodie from Babysoy — $28
This zip-up hoodie is made of sustainable soybean fiber, nicknamed "vegetable cashmere" for its incredible softness. Reversible and appropriate for all seasons (soy fiber is almost on par with wool at retaining warmth), it's the very definition of versatility. Color variations include tea green, ocean blue and blossom pink, all paired with chocolate brown. Did we mention how sweet it looks on a toddler? Cuz there's that, too.

Spinning Tops by Sleeping Forest — $15
These handmade toys look like they are straight outta Santa's workshop. Sleeping Forest has a variety of these classic playthings, our favorite being this beautiful set of three spinning tops. Sleeping Forest toys are made from wood that's been harvested only twenty minutes away from their shop by a professional who uses selective logging. And the ink that makes the swirlies so pretty is all non-toxic.
Ages 2 and up.

Soysilk Pals Goat — $24
Soysilk's line of plush toys includes a teddy bear and a bunny, but we prefer the more unique adorableness of this 10" goat. Both LanceSoyLot and SoyPhia are made from soy fibers, a byproduct of tofu manufacturing. They're also free of petrochemicals and toxic dyes. The naturally soft soy is even nicer to the touch than an actual goat, and much less likely to wreak havoc on your furniture.
Ages 1 and up.
Get it at South West Trading Company
