Our Mission

Everything you buy is a statement.

Make yours count.

Every time you shop, you make a statement about what matters to you. You know that, but like many of us, you may be too busy or overwhelmed to always shop with your heart. Or you may not even know where to start. Let The Global Baby make things easy for you. We promise that every purchase you make from us supports the well-being of people and our planet—from our toys and clothing all the way to our gift wrap and shipping materials.

Ethical

When you buy from The Global Baby, you are buying ethically. We source ALL of our products from small fair trade organizations and companies that prioritize their employees and the Earth over their bottom line. That takes the guesswork out of your purchase decisions. You can be confident that nothing you buy from The Global Baby supports the exploitation of other humans or the environment.

You can read more about the great work all of our brands are doing in the "Meet the Maker" sections under each product description or on our "Brands" page. We also identify each of our products as fair trade, ethically produced, organic, handmade, eco-friendly, or giving back. Look for these icons on each product page or refine your search by feature. We want you to feel empowered with the knowledge of the good your purchase is doing.

Charitable

Your purchase from The Global Baby also gives back. We believe that literacy is the best gift you can give a child. That’s why we provide book recommendations with every purchase and include books in every gift basket we make. But we also want to make sure that we support literacy around the world, so a portion of our proceeds goes to support global literacy organizations.

Global

Every purchase from The Global Baby connects you with the artistsans around the world who made your goods. We strive to share the faces and stories behind our products with you and the children in your life. You can also read more about the countries from which your purchases come by clicking on the hearts on the map located on our homepage.

Impactful

As the author Robert Fulghum wrote, “Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” The ethics we prioritize deeply impact the children in our lives, so let’s teach them from an early age that we value other people, other cultures, and our world at the same time that we encourage them to stretch their imagination, play, read, and develop curiosity and compassion. Let’s raise global citizens.

Simple

Looking for a unique, beautiful baby shower, birthday, or holiday gift? We’ve got you covered. Choose from one of our premade themed gift boxes or baskets or contact us to build your own. We’re also happy to gift wrap any purchase for you. We want to make your life—or at least your gift-buying experience—simple.
