Holiday Gift Guide for Cloth Diapering Families


Whether you’re the cloth diaperer and you need to send some hints to Santa, or you’re shopping for a cloth-diapering family, my list of gift ideas for the fluff-loving family is the perfect place to start! Just because a family has a full stash doesn’t mean they won’t appreciate some awesome accessories or even a little stash booster. Giving cloth diapers means giving someone you love a chance to save money and save the earth.

 Les Produits de MaYa Liniment

To try liniment is to never go back to disposable wet wipes or even bum wash spray. Les Produits de MaYa liniment, made in Quebec, is a creamy, olive-oil based cleanser that is the only way I tackle poopy diaper changes. A dollop of liniment from my handy pump bottle on a soft cloth wipe gets my daughter’s bum clean and moisturized. No water needed!

Parents who cloth diaper often choose cloth wipes over wet wipes anyways but have to use a spray bottle, moisten wipes in advance or be sure to change diapers near a sink. Les Produits de MaYa liniment is an effective and eco-friendly solution! It’s also amazing as a makeup remover, and you can use it to clean crusty noses and remove all kinds of goop from your children’s bodies (think the residue left by bandages, temporary tattoos and face paint).

Buncha Farmers Stain Stick

Holiday Gift Guide for Cloth Diapering Parents: Buncha Farmers

This is the perfect stocking stuffer for cloth-diapering parents … or basically anyone you know who has laundry. Moisten the BunchaFarmers stick, rub it directly on a stain and launder as usual. I’ve used it to get rid of tomato sauce, oil stains and even blood. You can grate up your BunchaFarmers stick and dissolve it in hot water to make a stain-fighting spray. If you’ve got stubborn poop stains in your cloth, BunchaFarmers is safe to use on your cloth diapers, and it’s environmentally friendly!

Coton Vanille Maxaloones

Coton Vanille makes maxaloones and harem pants in three long-lasting size ranges: 0–12 months, 6–36 months and 3–5 years. They fit perfectly over fluffy bums, but even if you don’t cloth diaper, these pants are simply comfortable, flexible and stylish for your active little ones!

Coton Vanille is a Canadian manufacturer of baby and children’s clothes. Their main products are Evolutive Pants and Evolutive Harem Pants, but their complete product range includes hoodies, T-shirts, tunics, bodysuits and accessories. Coton Vanille products are trendy, comfortable, durable and what’s more, proudly Canadian-made.

Peapod Mats


Giving a family a Peapod Mat is your way of saying: “Sleep well, my friends.” This absorbent, stay-put mat saves parents from stripping the bed at 3 a.m. when there’s an accident, a leak, some vomit, a nosebleed … basically any unexpected excretion you can imagine. We have one on my son’s bed and one in our bed where our daughter sleeps, and every time there’s an “oops,” I am so grateful for this invention. It’s cozy to sleep on, and it doesn’t crinkle and wrinkle like plastic mattress protectors. It can also be used as a diaper change mat, a picnic blanket, a drop cloth under the high chair and so much more!

Wet Bags from Funky Fluff

I have used wet bags from a lot of different brands, and the Clutch, Double Pocket Wet Bag and Hanging Pail from Funky Fluff are my absolute favourites! The Clutch is the perfect size to carry a clean diaper and change of clothes when you’re on the go. The Double Pocket Wet Bag holds at least six diapers (it’s the one I send to daycare), and you can easily store dirty diapers in one pocket and clean ones in the other. The Hanging Pail is amazing at home or when travelling: the straps unsnap so you can hang it on a towel rack, the back of the door, in a closet … the possibilities are endless. It holds at least three or four days of dirty diapers, but we also use it for our regular laundry!

Humbird Overnight Diapers & Woolies

The HumBird overnight cloth diapering system makes a great holiday gift! Many cloth diapering parents struggle to find a great overnight system, but HumBird has it figured out.

These famous overnight diapers are known as the Nebula and the Supernova. The Supernova has been independently tested to hold up to 42 ounces! When in stock these diapers sell out fast, but they are also available as a made-to-order item, so you can even pick the thread and snap colors. Paired with an organic wool interlock cover—hand-dyed by HumBird, available on the website and made to order—babies and toddlers can wake up dry and happy. Parents love this handmade system too, because baby wakes up with dry sheets and a leak-free diaper. You can join the HumBird chat group to see available fabrics, and visit the HumBird shop for the holidays.
