The last couple of weeks have been very busy for The Really Eco Baby Shop.

First we started to get a jiggling in our taste buds when we received our Rawr Raw Christmas chocolate bars: festively spiced organic orange with cinnamon and nutmeg raw chocolate. It is full of anti-oxydant, exactly what you need during the winter months. Perfect for vegans and vegetarians and everyone else as even though there is no added sugar, it is still delicious and not bitter at all (believe me, I have a sweet tooth).

Then, we are offering 3 new playsuits: our Ella & Otto animal print one is original and beautiful while our Little Green Radicals' numbers are more colourful. Stripy or plain, make your choice.

Of course, they are all organic and The Little Green Radicals' ones are even fairtrade. They make perfect eco baby presents for all babies as they are all unisex. Even better, because they don't have feet, they can be worn for longer! 

But to make a truly original and useful baby shower present, birthday or Christmas, do not forget to add our unique nappy voucher: The NapNap Voucher. It can be used in lots of different online shops and allow parents to choose the cloth nappy of their choice. Be it lots of highly reliable plain nappies or a custom made one, they will always find one that suit them among our retailers.

For lots of information on how, why, where to use a NapNap Voucher, visit our sister store www.napnaphq.com

Hello all of you who live in our area. Really Eco Baby and NapNap are based in Letchworth and North Herts and whilst we tend to stay behind our computer screens and packing boxes, we do make it out into the real world occasionally. NapNap runs Nappuccinos every few months, but we are also going to be selling at a Christmas Fair in lovely Letchworth itself.

Davids Books which is the fantastic independent bookshop in Letchworth, is holding its Christmas Fair on Saturday 26th November, 3-7pm. We will be there! Alongside the Really Eco Baby Shop there will be other local companies selling handmade, craft items. It will be a great place to pick up some lovely, original and ethical gifts for Christmas. It is also the evening when Letchworth switches on its Christmas lights; definitely worth a little trip out!

Furthermore, if you want to have a chat with us about washable nappies, we will also be very happy to show you some samples and talk you through how they and the NapNap Voucher work. More on NapNap and the NapNap Voucher here.

We recently read a list of both the top 20 most useful new baby buys (and the 20 least useful). Guess what topped the most useful list? You guessed it - nappies. Every baby does its thing and every family needs a stash at the ready.

So if you are looking for the most practical new baby or baby shower gift of all, it's nappies. However, if you (or the family in question) are going the green and eco route, cloth nappies are the way to go....but they are such a personal choice and it is difficult to choose nappies for somebody else. 

The solution? The NapNap Voucher. If you buy a new parent a NapNap Voucher, your 'gift' will be worn time and time again (more often than a 0-3 babygrow) and it will never run out. Cloth nappies are kinder to babies' bots and they are soft, colourful and very stylish. So help your friend or family member today to get those bottoms in cloth. The NapNap Voucher (basically the cloth nappy voucher that can be used in lots of places) is exchangeable for pretty much everything you might want - terry squares to luxury embroidered nappies. Go on, pop one in your order today. You know it makes sense!

For more information on modern washable nappies, visit the NapNap website.

You probably wonder why The Really Eco Baby Shop is different from any other gift shop. We love products that are organic, fair-traded, original, useful and good value and do our best to source them for you. You do not have to trawl the internet to find a present that will be both ethical and beautiful: we have it all here at The Really Eco baby Shop.
