Dear Santa,
This year, I’ve embraced my inner crunchy mama like never before. I’ve diffused essential oils, composted kitchen scraps, and even carved out time for some homemade bone broth. I’m on the nice list, and I think I’ve earned a few goodies this holiday season. To help you navigate my eco-friendly desires, I’ve crafted a unique wish list for Christmas and Solstice.
Chickens and a Cozy Coop
Santa, if you can only grant me one wish, make it this: chickens and a coop of my own! Sure, I know they’ll be at risk from foxes, and the cost of feed and care might rival those overpriced organic eggs at the local market. But those chickens will be my companions. They’ll perch on my lap and lay eggs for my family—who may or may not enjoy them since they seem to have an aversion to anything egg-related. And yes, those eggs will come with a side of chicken droppings—now that’s what I call true love!
Canning Supplies Galore
Santa, I’m ready to can like a pro! I’m dreaming of all the pots, jars, and books I need to preserve everything from pickles to peaches. I’ll create BPH-free, aluminum-free, fresh veggie masterpieces. Just wait until peach season rolls around; I’ll have so many jars that I might end up sharing with the neighbors. Of course, I’m fully aware that this might just result in my kitchen being overrun with unused supplies, but hey, it’ll boost my crunchy credentials!
Waldorf Toys for the Little One
I’m on the lookout for whimsical Waldorf toys! Bring on the adorable fabric elf, the vibrant wooden rainbow, and the charming treehouse complete with organic dolls and tiny furniture. And yes, I have my heart set on that expensive Bamboletta doll with its rainbow hair. Naturally, this is all for my child, because who wouldn’t want their little one to have the very best?
Nag Champa for Days
In case you didn’t know, Nag Champa is the go-to incense for any self-respecting crunchy mom. It’s the perfect cover-up for any unsavory smells that waft through the house—from diaper changes to the occasional burnt dinner. It gives the home that nostalgic vibe reminiscent of a college dorm, and let’s just say there may or may not be other herbal aromas involved. But hey, Santa, it’s all good vibes here!
A Stylish Woven Wrap
I’ve graduated from the Moby wrap, and now I’m dreaming of something special—perhaps a handwoven wrap made with magical fibers and vibrant colors. I want to be able to carry my baby in style and comfort, and trust me, I have a whole repertoire of carries that would amaze you. But I won’t bore you with the details; just know I’m ready to take my babywearing game to the next level.
Breastmilk Jewelry
Here’s a quirky idea: breastmilk jewelry! Imagine mailing my milk off to be transformed into beautiful pieces, like rings or lockets. It’s a unique way to keep a piece of motherhood with me forever—a personal treasure that’s as special as it is unusual.
Sustainable Menstrual Products
Forget conventional pads and tampons, Santa! I’m all about the eco-friendly options. Bring me a Diva Cup and some organic sea sponges, plus a selection of crocheted and cloth reusable options. I want to do my part for the planet while navigating my monthly cycle. And for those heavier days, let’s not skimp on the handmade organic pads!
That One Must-Have Diaper
You know the one I mean. The limited-edition cloth diaper that’s all the rage right now. I need that diaper to complete my collection, and I’m praying my little one doesn’t mess it up before I can show it off!
Thanks for taking the time to read my wish list, Santa! I’ll leave you some gluten-free treats on Christmas Eve.
Warm wishes,
A Slightly Crunchy Mama
