It seems that the weather has improved just on time for our local Letchworth Festival.

Really Eco Baby's home town is getting ready for over 100 events in 17 days and we want to be there to support it.

We are offering the festival visitors 15% off their order plus as usual free delivery in North Herts (postcode SG4, SG5, SG6, SG7).

A great opportunity to get some eco-friendly home products (perfect for this year' spring clean) or an ethical gift for new parents (any baby showers coming up?).

So just check the Letchworth Festival website to find the Really Eco Baby code and use it before 23rd June 2013. 

"Celebrate Letchworth life"

Our new Akamuti products have arrived!

We chose to stock Akamuti when we started Really Eco Baby because they are such an eco and ethical brand. Every product Akamuti makes is handcrafted from start to finish from individual ingredients by real people (not machines!). Absolutely no chemicals are added at any stage! Everything is made in small batches to ensure you receive your products as fresh as possible, with as much shelf life as possible.

But then we tried the products ourselves and were complete converts: I use the coconut oil on my children's dry skin and as a conditioner for my hair. It does wonder and I really feel safe in the knowledge that I am not putting even more chemicals on our hair and skin.

This Akamuti range is perfect for a new mum and baby gift, as part of a baby gift box or for a mum to be gift. But also if you are looking for natural and organic toiletries for your family.

So we slowly increased our range and this is what we can offer you now:

Really Eco Baby is very proud to feature in their Weekend Treats section.

This is a special article about the Grass Routes soaps we stock and how wonderful they are:

"We think real beauty is about what’s inside. But we also know that sometimes looking your best can give you just the boost you need to shine. So each week we’re bringing you our top pick of eco-beauty products. This week it’s The Really Eco Baby Shop and you can get a whopping 15% off when you sign up for Choose Green discounts. Enjoy…

We can’t get enough of Grass Routes soaps from Really Eco Baby and we thought we should share them with you…

Handmade with herbs grown locally (Herts), all the ingredients, with the exception of coconut oil are organic. No palm oil has been used and all packaging is made from 100% recycled and biodegradable materials.

Because there are no nasties, they are soft for the skin and can be used everyday leaving your skin soft and clean. They’re also gentle enough to use on babies’ delicate skin too.

Best of all, you can choose some really original scents:

• Lavender & Camomile: soothing, relaxing and ideal for delicate and very young skins.
• Calendula & Turmeric: a sensuous and beautiful soap for the face and body.
• Tea tree & Nettle: an antiseptic bar great for nicks, scratches, blemishes and clumsy people.
• Hemp wonder bar: feed your skin with hemp, rich in essential fatty acids and Omega fats. Very pure with the gentlest of ingredients.
• Oat & honey: Creamy lather with a fresh citrus scent, ideal for smoothing out rough, dry skin.
• Orange spice: warm, spicy and smells like Christmas; a great exfoliating bar for the body.

So grab yours now and get lathering!! Just make sure you don’t use too  much…"

Really Eco baby is about ethical, high quality and useful baby and family gifts. But we are also mad about cloth nappies; we created the NapNap Voucher: a gift voucher that can be exchanged for any cloth nappies in participating stores.

And guess what? Real Nappy Week is coming up (15th to 21st April) and to celebrate we are giving away a £25 NapNap Voucher.

It's simple: nominate a friend who is pregnant or just had a baby and she could win the NapNap Voucher (and you could get a Really Eco Baby voucher, nice!)

So if you love cloth nappies or if you want to help your friend financially, put their name down. It could really make a difference to them.
