Everything is made in China

[sasha]

I found a way to get around this for baby clothes was to get second-hand whenever we could; sure, it may have originally been made in China, but by the time it's fourth-hand I don't reckon it matters anymore! There are quite a few WAHM clothing places online, and as far as toys go, locally made ones are usually great, and also Plan Toys are wonderful... made in Thailand but with a low environmental impact and they seem to be like a good company. They're not cheap, but you can make lots of baby toys yourself using stuff you have at home as well. Let me know if you need some ideas, and there's pleny online as well.

It's frustrating, isn't it, if you want to get stuff not made in China - we try and avoid it as well, for all sorts of reasons, and I actually found some biscuit cutters the other day in Woolworths which were... wait for it... MADE IN AUSTRALIA! I've been looking for some for ages but all of them were made in China. It was a really nice surprise (and now we can make animal and star shaped biscuits, yum!)

Good luck
