If you’re like me, you don’t like giving mass-produced plastic toys and cheap synthetic clothes as gifts to the children in your life. You know they’ll break or fall apart before the birthday candles are blown out and there’s no telling how many harmful chemicals they contain.

Recently, I vowed to do my very best to stop buying these types of products for my family and friends. It’s not always easy. But I keep reminding myself that cheap products cost more in the long run because they need to be replaced more often and it’s just not worth exposing my loved ones to potential toxins. Plus, we try to live as sustainably as possible, so mindlessly contributing to our disposable culture is simply not an option.

Well, guess what? Since I started looking into high-quality products made from non-toxic and sustainable materials, I’ve realized that they’re not all as expensive as I thought. So many amazing visionaries have worked hard to create superior products that won’t burn a hole in your wallet.

Point in case: these Tot-approved gifts for kids under $100. You can rest easy knowing that they’ve passed our stringent quality and safety tests. Don’t you love it when someone else does the hard work for you?
