The term ‘greenwash’ is applied to companies that talk the talk but don’t walk the walk and at Really Eco Baby we work hard to find ethically driven companies with the values of sustainability and active concern for the environment. Everearth make lovely wooden toys and they embody these values. Here’s how they describe themselves:

“EverEarth products and our business structure revolve around the notion of sustainability. Our toys are made from sustainable, FSC® certified wood. EverEarth is committed to preserving our forests, and its activities include initiating the “Plant-a-tree” campaign. Everearth works to further develop our company’s structure and make it greener and more sustainable every day. To achieve this goal, we use recyclable packaging, environmentally friendly toy shipment, the natural energy of the sun with the help of solar cells, and much more. EverEarth wants to inspire children and parents to get closer to nature, because sustainability and environmental awareness concern us all.”

Here’s some of the lovely toys we stock:

 Have a Really Eco Christmas this year by celebrating your new arrival or anyone else’s in the family or friends, with one of our beautiful Baby Nest gift boxes!

 Esther from Scotland has just sent one of our ‘Tout Doux” Baby Nests for her new niece and the new mum is delighted with her box!

 And who wouldn’t love to receive one of our baby body’s from Little Green Radicals, a wooden toy from Everearth,  a natural soap bar from Just Soaps  and Green & Blacks fairtrade & organic chocolate bar, with a pack of marigold seeds for planting in celebration of your new little one!

 All beautifully packaged with a personal message from you, in totally biodegradable packaging!

There’s a chill in the air these mornings at Really Eco Baby this October. So why don’t you grab yourself one of our beautiful, cosy, Nordic Forest, fleece blankets for that hygge moment.

Perfect for wrapping around your little one in the buggy or pram. And the best thing about this blanket? Its completely breathable, thanks to the 100% organic, cotton fleece, so when you’re popping in and out of the shops, your little one won’t overheat!

Great with our Sherpa Hats, currently on sale!

What a shame it is that our lovely soap supplier Stephanie, creator of Grass Routes Soaps has hung up her soap making kit for a while (dreaded Brexit price increases). But good news is that we have found the equally wonderful Just Soaps. Their values look like our values: "We use only 100% natural ingredients. None of our products or ingredients are tested on animals and they are free from additives which have been reported to be harmful to our bodies or the environment, such as Parabens, SLS, Propylene Glycol or petrochemicals to name just a few. In fact we do not add anything except pure essential oils and use only natural colourants. Where available we use local ingredients including, Spring Water, Beeswax, Goat's Milk, Honey, Oats, Lavender and Herbs".

And they have a big range too... we chose a few that are well suited to babies and mummies: Roman Spa (Rebecca was a classicist long ago), Lavender Blue (we love lavender), Tea Tree & Hemp Oil, Lemongrass & Lime and 2 unscented for extra sensitive skin, baby or mother. Have a look here and at their website too. We bought up all Stephanie's remaining stock but it is the end now so all our gift boxes will have the Just Soap selection instead.
