Joel Madden Still Working On Nicole Richie's Christmas Gift

Joel Madden Still Working On Nicole Richie's Christmas Gift

Rocker and DCMA clothing designer Joel Madden isn't sure what he's giving girlfriend Nicole Richie for Christmas, but he knows what it won't be: diamonds.  He told E!'s Marc Malkin that Nicole isn't into them.

'I have no clue right now what I'm getting her, but I think it's going to have to be creative,' Madden told me earlier today. 'She appreciates more of the creative rather than something like a diamond. She's not really into diamonds."

Really!  I honestly would not have guessed that about Nicole.  You learn something new every day.

Although Joel isn't sure what he's going to get for Nicole, he has a better idea about baby Harlow's gifts.

'Nicole is very organic, so probably a lot of organic toys like wooden blocks,' Madden said. "

Am I the only one who doesn't know what organic toys are?  I honestly don't know.  If someone can enlighten me in the comments, I would appreciate it.  

Joel says they will enjoy a low-key Christmas in Los Angeles, and Joel has even declined deejay gigs for New Year's just to stay close to home.  He has his priorities in order!  Hopefully the couple will enjoy baby Harlow's first Christmas.

They're toys and clothes (I've mostly heard of clothes) that are made only out of natural ingredients. http://www.organicbabywearhouse.com/index.php You can take a look there at some of the products.

to piggy-back on Jen's comment: "natural" usually means without the use of pesticides, and other additives. he may have also be including other aspects of environmental sustainability (e.g. produced without the use of mono-crops, produced with renewable energy, produced from local ingredients) and social sustainability / economic justice (e.g. fair trade)

I imagine he's talking about going back to old fahioned toys made out of things like wood and fabric rather than plastic. Of course, wood and, say, cotton can be organic and sustainably grown, or they can be chemical filled and ravage the environment. These two can afford the difference if they can see it. Parents who have the loose idea of organic may also be thinking of toys that are powered by imagination rather than batteries. That's a good thing.

They are the kind of toys that kids don't get nearly as excited about as non-organic loud plastic toys.

A friend of mine likes Holgate Toys http://www.holgatetoy.com/. They have been made in the USA since the 1700s. I buy Haba wooden toys, which are German designed and Melissa and Doug toys, which are American designed. Melissa and Doug are made in China, but they tell their distributors that they far exceed the industry's standard for safety.
