The Bite:
Want a knockout baby gift? Ellen Masse's Entertaining Elephants boutique is a no-brainer - it's brimming with sophisticated baby and kids clothes (0-8 years) mostly from her own line. Made with organic cotton (colored with low-impact dyes) or vintage or locally salvaged fabrics, all of Ellen's stuff is made in LA. Best bets: fairy skirts and leggings for girls, and for babies, EE's got new Baby Gift Baskets (organic clothes wrapped up with ribbons and topped with a rattle) - a sure hit.
Why Care?: 
Conventional cotton production is responsible for 10% of the world's pesticides usage. In fact, only 73% of an average tee is cotton - the rest is chem by-products. Buying organic skips that stuff.
We really wish they made the saffron Square Yoke Blouse in our size. And as for these hand-knit bunny hats (see photo), their cuteness slays us.
Wanna Try: 
Entertaining Elephants, 12053 1/2 Ventura Pl., Studio City (818-766-9177). Bunny Hat, $34; Square Yoke Blouse, $38.

Cocktail Fact

Elephants' trunks can hold up to 3 gallons of water.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biter Moms buy their kids a shirt made from organic cotton instead of conventional cotton, we'll keep the weight of 67 5-year-olds in pesticides out of the environment.
