BIG News! Petit Eco KIDS Marketplace is here!

Oh my! I am sooo excited about this! After months of hard work behind the scenes I can finally share our big news: we are launching Petit Eco KIDS marketplace, a shopping tool bringing together our favourite eco stores and brands for kids!

As a mom I know that finding safe and environmentally sound products for children can often be a time consuming task, which is why I decided to create our marketplace and help make the shopping experience faster and a lot more enjoyable. As a curated space our marketplace showcases online boutiques with a unique selection of handmade, organic, eco-friendly and fair trade kids products that can be browsed by category, eco criteria or just by searching for that special gift you are looking for. And we’ll be adding more inspiring boutiques as we grow!

I hope you find our new site useful and easy to use. Please let us know what you think! We are keen to hear your feedback and if you love the marketplace please do share the news!

PS: We will keep updating the Petit Eco KIDS blog as usual.

 

Rock your mornings with KeepCup Rocker Series

KeepCup is a personal favourite of mine; there is no denying that. One of these very stylish reusable cups landed on my hands over a year ago and I have never looked back. For me the equation was simple: one reusable cup = 365 less disposable cups going to landfill. One step in the right direction.

Some of the things I love about my KeepCup:

· It’s funky

· It is super light so I can carry it with me everywhere

· I actually get to have my coffee hot for a change (if you are a mum I am sure you will appreciate the value of this!)

· It is BPA free and dishwasher safe

· It is made righ here in Australia

And for those of you who enjoy a bit of rock and roll with your coffee KeepCup has just released a bold new series of colour combos. Oh, and little ones are welcomed to the party too with cute little cups fit for a babyccino on the go. Rock on!

KeepCup available at State of Green
