Why are we talking about nappies? Not very exciting in terms of a present for a new mum, a newborn or a toddlers birthday come to that!    Well, I have two young children and I have to say that I prefer going to parties where people give me an idea of what they would like for their children.  We have so many toys that are left uplayed with.  And how many unwanted presents are taken straight back to the shop – or charity shop – or eventually the dump.  Not very green me thinks!

So, it may sound boring but I reckon that if you’re going to buy something for yourselves or others we should be practical – be green – waste less – and we all know that any young child would much prefer to play with the packing rather than the latest amazing new miracle brain expanding invention inside don’t we!

So, that is why we are talking nappies.  And I haven’t tried all of the disposable brands so help me out if you can, but I know these ones are good as they have been tried and tested by my little ones. 

Disposable eco-nappies have improved so much over the last few years.  I love the Nature Babycare nappies which I buy from Boots.   They come in all sizes and now do pull-ons which are great.  My local Boots doesn’t stock all sizes or the pull-ups so shopping online is a good idea.

If you want to make your gift a little more personal why not make a card or gift yourself to add to the package (check out some ideas). 

Look out for more practical gifts (and therefore more environmentally friednly gifts) – I’m sure they will be very much appreciated!

It was at Nana’s one day we had decided to paint my baby son’s hands and feet green in order to get some prints for our bathroom wall.  Someone told me this was a good idea . . .

Somehow we ended up with some fairly smudged images and a very green baby – not just hands and feet, but tummy, legs, arms, even tongue!  

There is a better way . . .

The evidence that washable nappies are more eco-friendly than disposible ones certainly make you want to try them out.  They are much more economical on your purse and nowhere near the hassle you might imagine.
