A natural, new age Christmas gift guide

November 24, 2016 · 8 Comments

A natural, new age Christmas gift guide

 

I think the older I get, the less tolerant I am of shopping centres!! Finding a park, the noise, the people… it all does my head in.

These days I much prefer to do online shopping from Aussie family businesses. I can relax in my pyjamas with a cup of tea, browse and buy with a few clicks and then get it all delivered to my door.

 

 

 

I have been steadily collecting gift ideas for a few months for you.  I am very fussy about what makes it into my Christmas Gift Guides… they need to be affordable, healthy, organic, fair trade, non toxic, recycled or eco-friendly and pretty much just awesome.

Plus, I have also found some awesome deals – discount codes and free shipping so take advantage.

I hope you like the list! Let me know in the comments what you think.

Get eight taster packets of Crio Bru in a beautiful gift box!  Crio Bru is one of my all time favourite healthy drinks. The ground cacao beans come in a variety of flavours for an awesome chocolatey hot or cold drink or for using in cooking. It’s the perfect substitute for coffee if you want to give up or cut back.

If you want to spend a little more, add in a Fressko Flask to brew the Crio in! This is the ideal gift for those hard to buy for people. I often have a few packs on hand for thank you gifts throughout the year and they are always well-received.

Natural and Non Toxic Christmas Gifts for Kids and Teens

November 19, 2016 · 2 Comments

Natural and Non Toxic Christmas Gifts for Kids and Teens

 

Natural and Non Toxic Christmas Gifts for Kids and Teens

 

Cheap toys and gifts, especially those made from plastic are often very toxic. Made from cheap, nasty ingredients and mass produced in often unethical conditions, they also contribute to landfill.

I know that shopping for quality, non-toxic toys and gifts for kids takes more of an effort than just popping down to your local KMart.

I know that eco-friendly, non-toxic good quality toys made by small, ethical businesses cost more.

But I also know that our kids are worth it and so is our planet.

With that in mind, here are some of my top picks for natural and non toxic christmas gifts for kids and teens.

 

Finn and Emma Wooden Baby Gym

♥ Wooden Baby Gym

Both my kids adored hanging around under baby gyms! It meant I could get stuff done while they were entertained for a bit. I love this eco-friendly, non toxic version. Made from sustainable birch wood, certified organic cotton and sheep’s wool, it’s height adjustable and completely safe. You can also unclip the toys and use them elsewhere. Gorgeous!

Get them here.

Wishbone Wooden Bike

 

♥ Wishbone Bike

So popular amongst our natural, new age mums, the Wishbone Bike is an award winning, NZ design, 3-bikes-in-1! It grows with your child from a push along to a balance bike aimed to take them straight to a pedal bicycle with no need for training wheels.

Made from kiln-dried, preservative-free plantation birch/ash finished with eco friendly glues, certified organic cotton spare parts bag, recycled packaging printed with non-toxic inks.

Get it here.

No Nasties Play Make Up♥ No Nasties Play Make Up

No Nasties make a range of awesome non-toxic hair chalks, make up and face paint for kids. Kits include brushes, sponges and fun tattoos! Wooden Sandpit with Canopy

♥ Wooden Sandpit with Canopy

Made from sustainably sourced pine with a fabric canopy. When the kids get older, use it as a veggie garden!
