Sustainable Kids

Sustainable Kids

is a brand I have only recently become familiar with....
and the first thing I have to say is that this clothing
is far cooler than first glimpse would tell you.

It is the PERFECT eco-wear for the older child
who wants to look trendy and stylish but you still want
them clothed in environmentally conscience, non-toxic apparel.
Sustainable Kids goes above and beyond the call of duty with a
"Give Back" program that involves them sending you
a postage paid box with each purchase to send
needed items to their chosen school and orphanage in Haiti.

What a wonderful teaching moment
this would be for you and your child!

Please visit
Sustainable Kids
and take a look at their super cool AND organic duds
(come on, hemp/organic skinny jeans for kids? I am so there)
---they prove that its possible to have your cake and eat it too.

GO HERE for shopping.

Lush Handmade Cosmetics

Lush....OH Lush...how I love you.
I love your sweet, sweet smells
and glorious creations. Your inventive
packaging and eco-safe ingredients.
I love that you give back to the needy,
and that you are so good to my skin.

....

I really love Lush guys. If you have read any of the reviews on Tout-Est-Des-Roses you KNOW this is true.

I can't think of a better gift for ANYONE on your list than LUSH.
I've even gotten Wolf addicted to their shaving lotions and hair gel
(it smells just like a lemon, not lemon scent...
but, "so freshly squeezed there's
peel in there somewhere", lemons)
Gorgeous.

Check out their Christmas hatboxes HERE...
totally keep-able wrapping elements.
Now-----off you go to shop.

Autonomie Project

Looking for a more planet-friendly alternative
to the ever popular Converse-style tennis shoe?
This is an item that has been on our wish list
EVERY year due to three little boys
who want "shoes like Daddy's" --
and I am happy to say I have found
a new way to purchase green in this area.
Autonomie Project
has an amazing array of footwear
that is styled similarly to the popular Converse brand,
but yet speaks my language of "ECO-verse".

Their take is made with
100% Fair Trade certified organic cotton canvas,
as well as a sustainably harvested latex rubber sole
which was actually tapped from a tree in
a well-managed and growing forest
(rather than being made
of chemicals like most other rubber products).

Check out the Autonomie Project...you will love.

Activeion--Green Cleaning

The Activeion Pro is a powerful cleaning appliance that uses ionized water to sanitize and safely clean your home. Looking like a space age tool the Jetson's might have employed, this would be the perfect state-of-the-art gift for anyone interested in a greener way to clean....in fact THE greenest way to clean, with pure water. The Activeion unit has an incredibly large battery life and can run for up to three hours of use on a single charge--although in my experience I found it to be much longer. It is a great start in making everything in your home fresh--while keeping toxins AND germs at bay.

Activeion has three different cleaning systems available to suit your needs perfectly and I encourage you to visit their site to learn more. Their products are revolutionizing the cleaning industry and changing how we think about dirt removal.

Go visit now, you really will learn something:)

Sprig Toys

Sprig Toys offers the perfect option
for the three and up crowd.

Their toys are made from "Sprigwood"--
'a durable, child-safe bio-composite material
made from recycled wood and reclaimed plastic.
No decorative paint is used in the production process,
packaging is minimal, and responsible manufacturing partners
are selected to reduce Sprig's carbon footprint on the planet.'
Any little boy would be head over heels
to receive one of their Adventure Series playsets,
and they even have a Story Building Palace set,
complete with a little princess with a pink cone hat:)

There is something so refreshing
about this whimsical company
and their line of eco-friendly, battery-free toys.

Please visit Sprig Toys
and see if you can't find the perfect thing
for a sweet tiny someone
who has been on the nice list all year:) .
