First Anniversary Bash: Day Three - Natural Pod

Natural Pod

Whenever I think about all of the recent toy recalls and the safety of my toddler, Natural Pod always comes to mind. I never have to blink an eye or worry when I see her playing with something from this conscientious boutique out of Vancouver BC. Bridgitte (Natural Pod founder) has got something really good going here and we’re lucky to have them around.

Natural Pod has quite a few new products to offer. It’s hard to just pick a few of them to feature here but here are some of my favorites:

Farm
Farm yard knob puzzle - Help your children learn to recognize shapes.

Playdough
Organic Play Dough - Contains 100% certified organic ingredients.

Barn
Natural barn - Excellent for imaginative play!

We have such a fantastic relationship with the folks at Natural Pod and that is because we both have the same goal in mind for our children: letting them play with safe, quality products. This company is by far one of the best natural product companies out there.

Natural Pod would like to offer one lucky MumsTheWurd reader a $200 gift certificate to their eBoutique! You can choose from a huge variety of safe and unique products from their online boutique.

First Anniversary Bash: Day Two - Boon

Boon Logo

I’m a picky mom when it comes to toy storage in my house. I don’t want too many storage bins or toy boxes lying around with toys hanging out of them. One little predicament we managed to get ourselves into was too many of those furry friends piling up, also known as “stuffed animals”. The more we weed out, the more we accumulate. I know that we will have a never-ending supply of stuffed animals for years to come.

Boon Animal BagA unique manufacturer of baby, kid and parenting products by the name of Boon has a sensible solution to your stuffed friend pile-up. It’s called the Animal Bag. The Animal Bag is a Godsend. I have freed up so many shelves and toy boxes because of this fabulous invention.

Animal Bags are available in different sizes and colors. Not only are they a perfect storage solution, they are a great option for extra seating. Your child’s precious softies are easy to get in and out of the bag thanks to the over sized zippers and mesh windows.

As a part of our First Anniversary Bash, Boon is giving our readers a chance to win an Oval Animal Bag (a $60 retail value)! The winner may choose from two colors, pink or green.

The cool kids wear Tomat

HPIM2673-717933 The cool kids wear TomatTomat is a fresh new store that will have your kids looking their coolest. Using only cotton made in a sweat shop free environment, you can deck out your baby or toddler in some super sweet duds! Started by a graphic designer, Efi knows how to combine comfort and fashion.
2-18-08-021-728548 The cool kids wear Tomat
Tomat’s onesies for infants are simple and groove-a-licious. This line includes organic choices, like the casette, and 100% cotton choices, like under the influence. I could definitely drop a pretty penny on Lennon in this department, but since I have a closet and dresser full of baby clothes, I’m going to try to contain myself.

The toddler line could not be more perfect for our little rockers, Noel and Hailey. Noel is prepared to head to the disco in his future dj shirt, and Hailey is jammin’ to her favorite tunes in her Tomat logo tee (on sale!).

If you love unique, simple design and want your kids dressed in the best, head over to Tomat!

Stardust Kids Rock

Stardust

I grew up listening to music, almost any kind, which eventually evolved into punk rock. I loved the music and the lifestyle. Here I am, 30 years old and I still love me some good punk rock music. My tastes are now rubbing off on my two year old. Ok, ok, I dress her but I can only hope that she appreciates the kind of indie lifestyle that I do.

stardust_kids-783132 Stardust Kids RockCue Stardust. Stardust has been around since 1998 and located in the UK. Owner Geraldine Bedford started out her company by selling greeting cards and cuff links but over time and with the addition of her child, she was inspired to branch out and sell unique clothes (for adults and children), kid’s instruments, toys and more.

I am particularly fond of the two shirts you see pictured on my daughter to the left. Her “Hailey is a punk” tee (16.50 GBP) is quite fitting, as is her “Pixie” long sleeve tee (15.00 GBP). Both shirts are great quality.

Stardust has a physical store location in London (294 Milkwood Road, Herne Hill, London, SE24 0EZ. Tel: 020 7737 0199) and even has the option of becoming a Party Agent (host your own parties and sell Stardust items).

Check out their online store, there are tons of rockin’ items for mums and tots! Stardust is offering a special discount to MumsTheWurd readers. Enter code “MUMSTHEWURD” in the coupon code box at checkout for 25% off of your order.
