Just love when we can find a new use for a discarded item. This is just what Liza does at recycledcashmere.com . Cashmere sweaters are thoroughly washed with Ivory soap and then recreated into adorable, silky soft cashmere baby hats, booties and mittens. Perfect for the upcoming season ahead. These lovely cashmere creations can purchased through Nimli.com .
Made of durable and replenishable bamboo, the Safety 1st Nature Next Bamboo Booster Seat is ideal for those who don’t have the space for a highchair. Like the Nature Next Bamboo Gate, the warm feel of the bamboo is an unobtrusive addition to any home. The tray is made from recycled plastic.
Green Toys has introduced yet another eco-friendly line of toys. This time they’ve moved on to trucks! Like the recycled Green Toys tea set, these sturdy eco toy trucks are made from 100% recycled milk containers. Made in the USA, these toys are phalate and bpa-free.
A mixture of delight and confusion was written all over our 4 year old’s face when he first saw himself on the cover of his very own book. “That’s me? What am I doing on that?” I proceeded to read him the personalized story about the undersea life of the octopus family. We all got a good giggle out of seeing our little guy as an octopus. Written by a mom during maternity leave, this fun story with lovely illustrations is a unique keepsake for your child and sure to bring smiles all around. Mini Me’s Books let’s you easily add personalized text such as your child’s name & birth date, your child’s photo as well as the option to add photos of mom and dad. To top it all off, these children’s books are printed on environmentally and socially-friendly paper!
Our four year old has got recycling down pat along with turning the water off while brushing his teeth but I don’t think he really got the gist of why we do all this until reading one of the Earthwise books. The Earthwise Kids books and t-shirts are a great way to introduce children to the importance of eco-friendly living. Beautifully illustrated books with fun stories printed on recycled paper and soy based inks provide practical tips to help protect our fragile planet. Matching unbleached organic cotton t-shirts are a regular reminder to respect this beautiful world that we all share. No need for wrapping as gift sets come already wrapped in a reusable/biodegradable jute bag.
I could have used one of these when my good friend loaned us her Baby Bjorn. Let’s just say it did not go back in pristine condition (sorry, Shells!). Made with 100% cotton fabric on the outside and recycled/vintage chenille on the inside, these My Little Roo slipcovers not only make a stylin’ ride for baby but they also do a great job of protecting your carrier from daily wear and… drool. A great way to revive a used carrier or to dress up a new one. The handy dandy pocket located in the front provides easy access to cash, keys, cell phones and such. The trickiest thing about this baby carrier slipcover is deciding which cute pattern to choose!
Each Fleurville Re-Run™ Messenger Baby Diaper Bag keeps ten (10) 600ml plastic water bottles out of landfill. Spacious and lightweight, the recycled plastic bottle Re-Run™ Messenger is super comfortable for moms or dads to wear. The adjustable shoulder strap has a wide range of fit enabling you to wear it as a shoulder bag, messenger or over the stroller handle. In keeping with the minimalist feel of the entire Re-Run™ line, the Messenger bag comes with a baby diaper changing pad, see-thru Fleurville-branded baby wipe case, carabineer and multiple, elastic topped pockets for baby bottles. Inside of the Re- Run™ silicone badge with ear bud pass-thru is a fleece pocket to protect your iPod/sunglasses/cell phone from being scratched. Each Re-Run™ Messenger main flap is silk-screened with a beautiful botanical print.
