For your Little Tree Hugger - GIVEAWAY!!

I just love it when I find a shop that sells items they actually have tried out themselves – and Little Tree Hugger is one of those! An online shop shipping throughout Canada and the USA, with local service in the Fredericton, NB and Beaumont (S. Edmonton) AB areas, Little Tree Hugger offers various cloth diapers and diapering accessories as well as eco goods for your baby. Along with a great selection of products, Little Tree Hugger's website also provides a great deal of information on using and caring for cloth diapers.

Diapers offered come from such companies as: BumGenius, AMP, Happy Heiny's, Thirsties, Baby Kanga and much more! The website is organized in such a way that you can easily find the style of diaper you're looking for, and the accessories are clearly categorized as well.

Among the eco-friendly baby goods are toys (wooden, cloth and rubber), clothing (leg warmers) and feeding and nursing gear.

Daniel has been walking around (occasionally) and sleeping (every nap and night) with “Abbit” - a Peppa bonding doll called Tino in the shape of a rabbit. What attracted me to the Peppa bonding dolls was that they're made of all natural materials – cotton terry cloth on the outside and stuffed with sheep's wool. They're called “bonding dolls” because the wool absorbs scents, ie the comforting scent of home or a parent. They are made for a European company and handmade in India under fair trade practices. “Abbit” isn't Daniel's favourite cloth toy, simply because “Bear” got there first, but he does check to make sure “Abbit” is there in the crib when he's going to bed. The Tino dolls are available in 9 different colours and are 12” long, but are very light weight – it would be perfect for a baby to hold as well. The long ears are great to chew on (don't ask me, ask Daniel!) as are the knobby “paws” for teething. A big plus is that wool stuffing is anti-bacterial, so Tino should keep smelling like what he should smell like and not like a stinky, always wet, chewed on cloth (like Bear). Daniel's "Abbit" is the light blue (teal) one, and it's very cuddly and soft!
