Have you heard about NapNap Vouchers? They are the perfect eco friendly present for new parents. They can be exchanged in loads of different nappy shops and let people choose the nappies that are right for them. Find out more about NapNap Vouchers from the NapNap website www.napnaphq.com

But if you are worried that people might actually really want another pair of pink bootees or teddy rather than this super useful gift (that results in lovely fluff anyay!) I thought I'd reassure you by sharing this. It comes from a mum who recently used a NapNap Voucher:

"Dear NapNap - thank you! I jsut thought I'd tell you: my mum bought me a voucher and it meant I could buy a new set of nappies for my newborn. I have an older child still in nappies so it was going to get a bit tight. I wasn't going to bother - thought I could get by with disposables for a bit tut tut - but the voucher means I am now all sorted. I had my eye on a changing bag too so I was able to treat myself without feeling too guilty. An absolute treat and a brilliant change from the other things that I was given. Of course, I am not ungrateful for those but this was my top pressie."

We sell organic, fairtrade coconut oil. We include it in our new mum and new baby hampers and we love it! It's eco-friendly, great for sensitive skin and smells lovely.

We enjoy road-testing our products at Really Eco Baby and I was thinking today about all the different ways I have used it in the last few months. Here goes:

Chicken pox - the oil melts easily on your hands so even my most stubborn of 3 year olds barely noticed me putting it on. I also put some in the bath water and it definitely prevented their skin drying out. No itchy little ones for us.

Hair - it makes a fantastic, intense hair conditioner. I have only done this once but my hair the next day felt like it had been tucking into superfood. And we heard on Twitter today from @WBMonkeyMonkey "I used to use it in my hair on a monthly basis as so dry from hair dye!" It really does give your hair a treat.

Hands - with nappies and new babies and keen toddler cooks etc I am careful to wash my hands and have to do it quite often. I use the coconut oil on my hands after washing and even this horrible weather hasn't meant dry hands for me.

New baby skin - because it melts so easily, you just have to gently run your hands over that tiny (slightly scaly!) body and the oil absorbs straight in. My baby was born one week late and that means her skin was quite dry. But it settled down in no time with a bit of oil.

Give it a go. Highly recommended! Akamuti virgin fairtrade coconut oil available here at Really Eco baby.

If you didn't already know about Peapod Magazine, let us introduce you. It is a magazine written for parents wanting to bring up green littl'uns and so we are delighted to be in Issue no. 2 as that is what we are all about. It's not difficult to spot us and if you look carefully, you'll see a lovely discount code to be used here at Really Eco Baby.

The Gossypium pyjamas that we stock are there, as well as the range of eco-friendly toys that we sell. And there are lots of interesting articles - how to get your children interested in gardening, eco-cleaning product reviews, the green upside to breast-feeding, Grumpy Granny and much more. Enjoy!

A treat for all mothers!

We don't want to sound too feminist but Really Eco Baby and NapNap are very much the two babies of two mummies (among lots of other real babies). We fit work around more work and family life. That's why we are quite keen on celebrating Mother's Day on March 18th - because we know mums work extremely hard and need a treat once in a while!

If you are looking for a present to give to your cherished mother, you will be spoilt for choice - we know there are lots of lovely, yummy luxurious gifts out there. But here at Really Eco Baby you can give that bit of luxury but also make a conscious choice to give a present that will be natural, organic, ethical and useful.

Our very special Mother's Day hamper contains products we would love to receive ourselves. It is all about looking after your body with organic and moisturising creams and soaps without forgetting your mind: I am talking about our delicious raw chocolate bars! They are so good for you that we do not feel guilty about including 3 bars for you to taste and share.

But you can also have a clean conscience: the Akamuti Coconut Oil is fairly traded with Indonesian island Communities while the Grass Routes lip balm and soap are handmade in Hertfordshire with natural ingredients and no palm oil.

If this present is intended for a new mother, treat her also to a NapNap Voucher. 

So enjoy, share and love Mother's Day this year!
