If you keep an eye on the NapNap website, you will see that we now offer a 'Nappuccino to You' service. This means you gather together a few friends and we come to you with washable nappies to look at and talk about. We also bring you a range of the eco friendly goodies that we sell here at Really Eco Baby. If that doesn't sound exciting enough, we also throw in a £15 NapNap Voucher for free!

Now of course, you may not need the NapNap Voucher yourself. Your children may be potty-trained, you might also be a grandparent or grandparent in waiting. But you might be really keen to show some of your friends how great cloth nappies are. 

Personally, I would have loved something like this for a Baby Shower (although I am obviously a bit biased!). Nappies to look at, eco friendly presents and essentials to choose from, free money for nappies.... What more could you want? Oh, did I mention the games we can play too? Cloth Nappy Games??? That's right. You'll never look back!

So if you are in North Herts and fancy a green baby shower, baby party, nappy party.... whatever you want to call it! - look no further.

GET ONE OF THESE FOR FREE!

We have just returned from holiday and the kids had to spend many hours in the car. So how to keep them busy? I quickly packed a couple of paper pads and colouring books hoping it would distract them for more than 5 min. Well, you might be surprised to discover that they spent many hours concentrating over their drawings.

I realised I had made the right choice when I bought a box of Stockmar Crayons. The colours are really bright and they stick to the paper. I don't think the children would have been happy (and us neither once they would have been bored and whinging) with a cheap box of crayons where you can hardly see the colours. Even with a pad balancing on their  knee, they made some great work of art.

The box was also very handy to put them away without them rolling around the car.

So yes at £9, they are not the cheapest box of crayons but they do last and the beeswax used does not contain any nasties. As they come with a nice handmade handbook, this makes a very nice present for toddlers and older children and will definitely become the favourite set of your children. 

The elderflowers at the end of the garden are finally sending out their May (ha ha) perfume and thank goodness they are bit late this year. With a 2 month old on top of the other tiddlers, things tend to slide! However, I am rolling my sleeves up and getting ready to make some this weekend. If you are interested in making your own, the two recipes I would recommend are:

Ashridge Nurseries recipe: this is for serious makers who want to make quite a big batch and preserve the cordial properly. It has worked a treat for me in the past and, because of the inclusion of Campden Tablets, lasts up to 2 years.

Peapod magazine (Page 30): a simple recipe, great for first timers. (And a lovely little magazine too.)

Having recently treated myself to a set of the lovely coloured glasses  made from recycled glass that we sell (perks of the job) I am lookng forward to tasting the fruits of my labours. Our garden is humming with life at the moment and sipping elderflower cordial amongst the cabbages really is one of life's small pleasures. Cheers.

NapNap's 1st Birthday!

Yep, that's right, only a year ago was NapNap launched.

Since then, we have developed the NapNap Voucher and it is now a pretty popular baby shower gift . If you are not in the loop: give a NapNap Voucher to your pregnant friend and they can choose the cloth nappies of their choice. It will save them lots of money and because we now work with 21 retailers, they will be spoilt for choice.

We have also launched The Really Eco Baby Shop so you can even add a lovely eco-friendly and ethical gift to your voucher.

So let's celebrate!

Until Thursday 24th June midnight, all our products, except for the NapNap Voucher are on sale. Yes, everything!

That means you can bag a Little Green Radicals's "let it bee" bodysuit at half price.

That's £7.50 for a fairtrade and organic cotton bodysuit. I don't think you can find cheaper anywhere else.

There is 20% all our kenana fairtrade knitted animals. A hand-knitted toy that will easily become a child's best friend. Choose between a giraffe, zebra, a leggy lion or a cool cow.

Even our latest products: Ava & Luc organic cotton T-shirts have £3 off. 3 cool designs with bold colours to choose from.  Available until 4y.o: a toddler's favourite.

The Baby Bathtime Hamper is one of our most original and useful gift. Its Green Fibres' organic towel is soft, big and absorbent and you will be proud to offer the new little one his or her first bamboo toothbrush. Grab it now for £21 (that's £5 off!).

There are some other incredible offers going on. Enjoy at least 10% off and still free delivery on orders over £35 but the sale will stop on Thursday night.

And for our local followers: if you live within 3 miles of Letchworth Garden City (North Herts), get your order delivered to your door free of charge. Just place your order and we will refund the delivery.
