Ecoccasions

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!
