I wanted to post a Green Holiday Gift Guide long time back but never got time to do that so I am posting ” Holistic Saffron Last Minute Green Holiday Gift Guide 2015″ now.
Are you looking for the Crunchiest Gift ideas for your Holistic Mamas and their family? Here is a quick list of some of my favorite products which I am sure every Crunchy Mama would love! Most of the products in the list are healthy living related so you will not find much of toys or other accessories. I would absolutely prefer to receive Gifts that are unique and life changing than same old boring dresses, chocolates, household accessories and toys for my Babies. When people get health related unique gifts and when they try the product and see it’s magic they will naturally be drawn to researching more about that gift. It will change their life for sure!Though my initial plan was to create a Gift Guide for everyone this one is specifically for Pregnant and Nursing Mamas and some are for Kids
1. Bump To Birth eBook
Know any Pregnant Mama who is looking for a book that can help deal with annoying issues like Morning Sickness, Pregnancy Aches and Pains, Hemorrhoids, Edema, Anemia etc.? Is someone that you know planning a homebirth and is looking for pain management techniques during a labor? Or may be a few tips on how to prevent perineal tear , how to increase milk supply after a birth etc.? Then “Bump To Birth– Holistic Remedies For Common Pregnancy Ailments and Natural Childbirth” eBook could be the perfect gift for her. I am offering this book as a part of my Bundle here. Use Coupon Code “CHRISTMAS2015” to get 50% Off Until December 25th!
2. Garden Of Life Whole Food Supplement
Garden of Life is the best Prenatal Supplement for every Pregnant Mama! I took New Chapter Prenatals in my first Pregnancy and found this Gem during my second Pregnancy. While choosing the prenatals it’s very important to choose whole food based supplements with vitamins and minerals derived from food sources especially Folate. Never take any supplements with Folic Acid in it, that’s a synthetic form of Folate and has been linked to Breast Cancer in women.
Garden of Life’s commitment to health goes beyond offering some of the most effective nutritional products in the world. We are interested in building relationships with people to help them transform their lives to attain extraordinary health. By combining the best of nature and science, the Garden of Life brand offers a path to healthy living with premium products that are supported by education and innovation.
It is available in 30, 90, 180 and 40 counts. Available here.
3. Hylands Bioplasma Cell Salts
I call this a “Miracle in a bottle”! If you are a skeptic then you really gotta try Homeopathy to believe in it! Hylands has been a life saver for my family, right from teething to Cold, Colic, Acid Reflux (when my Girl was just a week old) UTI, Eczema, Sinus, Pains and Aches, PMS and what not! I have been successfully using Homeopathy for my family for 5 years now. I would say grab this bottle right away and gift it to everyone in your list because it’s a life changer! Cell Salts also known as Tissue salts or Schuessler cell salts are a group of minerals that should be present in the body for it to function optimally. It was developed by Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler and it has 12 main Cell Salts.
It is a combination of 12 major cell salts.It helps boost your Immunity, amazing for Bone Health and Children’s Growth, Strong Skin, Nail and Hair(Thanks to silica), Digestive Health, Respiratory Health and Brain Health. Yes these tiny tabs are way too powerful than one might think. A must have in every Pregnant and Nursing Mama’s medicine cabinet.

Helps with colic and reflux issues, improves eczema and works as an immunity enhancer. Hylands Bioplasma is available here.
4. Earth Mama Angel Baby Pregnancy Tea Kit
Though I made my own Pregnancy Tea(Recipe is in my Bump To Birth eBook) I found this Earth Mama Angel Baby’s Tea Kit to be the best amongst all the Pregnancy Tea Brands! And this kit is even better because it serves 3 purpose with it’s 3 different types of Teas in one single kit- Morning Sickness, Heartburn and Third Trimester Nourishing Tea.

6. Motherlove Pregnant Belly Salve
Looking for a non-toxic belly salve for your Pregnant Friend/family member? I highly recommend Motherlove’s Pregnant Belly Salve which soothes itching and prevents stretch marks. The most gentle way to pamper that beautiful pregnant belly. You can buy this salve here.
Kathryn Higgins, Motherlove’s founder, grew up in a Mayo medical family from Rochester, Minnesota, who were avid gardeners in love with flowers and plants. After moving to the Rocky Mountains, she became passionate about the uses of plants in the meadows and forests surrounding her mountain home in Northern Colorado’s Rist Canyon. She began incorporating the wild plants into her daily life for food and medicine and teaching others. Not able to find herbal products to support her pregnancy and birthing experiences, she began making her own—and sharing them with other women. These creations in the early 1980s became the seeds for Motherlove products.
7. Hazelaid Hazelwood and Amber Necklaces
I heard about Hazelaid when I was pregnant with my Son and was desperately searching for Morning Sickness remedies because nothing(no herb,no oil,no seaband nothing could work 100% and I learnt about Homeopathy only when I was in my 3rd Trimester) could make me feel 100% better! Not sure whether it was a co-incidence or what but my severe morning sickness subsided within a few days of wearing Hazelaid’s Hazelwood Necklace! It was a miracle!

This is a brain superfood because it is loaded with healthy fats. Mainstream media have been telling that Coconut and Ghee both are bad for you because they are saturated fats.

Wildcraft is a wonderful gift for Children aged 4 and up! An Herbal Adventure Game is a cooperative board game that explores healing herbs. Wildcraft teaches 25 important edible and medicinal plants and their uses in mostly first aid situations. (Wildcrafting is the harvesting of wild plants). Players learn about plants by connecting the icon on the challenge or “trouble” cards with the icons on the plant cards. If a player has a “burdock” card in their herb basket and draws a “hungry” card, then the player can turn the cards in and move to the next rest space. Though it is a cooperative game, there is plenty of strategy and drama as players travel up the mountain to the Huckleberry Patch and back to Grandma’s before nightfall. The only way to get back safely is to help each other out. However, it’s ok if you don’t make it. Grandma will come and get you. Wildcraft! is a great introduction to the world of edible and medicinal herbs for children of ALL ages. It’s a beautifully illustrated, nature based, educational, cooperative game created in the tradition of the classic board games. Kids love the “Chutes and Ladders” type of play.Wildcraft! features storytelling and fosters the imagination. It’s one of the best natures games, being that it connects kids to nature.
