  1. This guys are so much fun! I love the banter about how recycling can be made so complicated sometimes when really.... what could be easier?

    They mention nappies so if you worry about your bin being constantly full of them (how can babies poo so much?), we have the answer: don't buy plastic nappies anymore and switch to cloth: easy to use, no touching the poo, lots of money saved thanks to the NapNap Cloth Nappy Gift Voucher.

    In the meantime, .... enjoy!

  2. Have you entered our Christmas Competition yet?

    It is a lot of fun and you could win big. All you have to do is match our 6 funny baby pictures (yes, 2 mums, 6 children) with their names. Not as easy as it sounds but will you be able to spot a Romily? A Sara? Beware, a boy is lurking among all the girls.

    The competition will close on Wednesday 5th December and the winner notified soon afterwards. If it's you, you will have time to enjoy a bit of Christmas shopping with your £20 Really Eco Baby Voucher.

  4. Recycled gift wrapping paper? What will she think of next?

    Some of you know that Really Eco Baby and NapNap is run by a team of two. Now, we are pretty closely aligned (3 green babies each, cloth nappies, transition town stuff, gardening, cycling etc.) but occasionally, just occasionally, we do something that the other person doesn't know about. Ready for the latest?

    Imagine my amazement when I found something on the Really Eco Baby shop which I had abcolutely no recollection of our ordering. Well let me tell you, it turned my Sunday upside down. What was she thinking, this business partner of mine, slipping new products in without consulting me? Was this the end of a beautiful, eco friendly friendship?

    But no. Phew. Disaster averted. Because can I really complain about this one? Beautiful, thick, brown wrapping paper, printed with trees in lovely big sheets. If you like wrapping presents and making them into beautiful packages of loveliness, you will be with me on this one I know. Happily two Really Eco babies have their birthdays in the next two weeks as well. So watch out or we might just sell out.
