That’s sweet! Your mom is lucky to have you!
There are lots of health food shops in Irvine and many of them will have cosmetic sections. I’d look in the phone book and call a few and ask them.
Or try a vitamin shop or a body products shop. If all that fails you can always make your own gift basket. A functional item such as a small handbag or purse, or a lovely bowl can also make a nice basket for the items.

Make it green-baby-themed shower! In other words make it an opportunity to educate everyone about the benefits to your baby and the environment in a fun, not-pushy way.

What is a good gift for a person who is new mother and is health conscious about the things she feeds and uses with her family. She has just switched to buying organic foods and has become vey aware of harmful chemicals in alot of products.

I would just walk the organic section, and pick some items that you know she likes. I think a nice basket (or organic, bamboo bowl!) filled with organic pasta and sauce, some organic herbs and spices, sauces, chutneys and jams – things like that would be really nice, and not perishable. That’s a really nice gift by the way – you are obviously wanting to put some thought into it! You could also add a nice bottle of wine to be mix, or organic juice, plus some nice, natural linen napkins and such!
I hope that at least inspires you!
Oh – and Terence – it’s not just about the pesticides and chemicals that we’re digesting off the fruits and veggies, and the hormones that we’re pumping into our meats and poultry – it’s about the ecological effects of those chemicals and pesticides, and what they are doing to our water supply, our land, and the air we breathe.
