Is one of your employees or co-workers expecting? When someone in your office is anticipating the birth of a child, having the staff all contribute for a baby gift seems to occur to everyone. Brilliant choices for the gift after the funds have all been added to the community corporate piggy bank seem to be less frequent. How can you get everyone to agree on a corporate baby shower gift when everyone has an opinion on what is best for babies and mommies? Should you choose a gift that is practical, that you know will be used and appreciated and not re-gifted? Should you choose a gift that stands out as different and unique? Do you think the expectant mother would prefer something eco-friendly or would she more likely be happy with a gift with a high “awwww, that is SO cute,” factor? Read More…

Natural Rubber Tree - Hevea Brasiliensi
What is BPA & Phthalates and why should you choose a natural pacifier for your baby?
Bisphenol A, otherwise known as BPA, and Phthalates are chemical compounds primarily used in manufacturing of plastics. The United States government toxicologists recently concluded based on animal studies that BPA and Phthalates present concern for harmful effects on development of the prostate and brain and for behavioral changes in fetuses, infants and children. While a handful of states are taking steps in banning BPA and phthalates in children’s toys and child care items, these harmful chemicals were banned in European toys a decade ago.
The only all natural pacifier on the market is the Natursutten All Natural Rubber Pacifier. Read More…
A panel of the National Research Council has announced that there is sufficient scientific data to warrant an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) assessment of the health effects from cumulative exposure to toxic, plastic-softening chemicals known as phthalates.
Phthalates, make plastic products soft and flexible and differ from bisphenol A-BPA-which hardens plastics. Both chemicals have been linked to hormonal disturbances and a variety of other adverse effects and both have made headlines in recent months over their continued use, especially in products and toys meant for children. Despite the know dangers phthalates can be found in soft plastic toys and children’s products such as rubber ducks, teethers, and pacifiers - while BPA is found in baby bottles.
Most new parents dread the “teething stage”. It can be a painful ordeal for your little one as well as for you. This is where teething toys come in to save the day.
Sophie the Giraffe is made from pure, natural rubber extracted from the Hevea brasiliensi tree. This all natural teething toy is free from BPA, PVC, parabens, phthlatates, and chemical softeners. Read More…

One in three toys tested was found to contain toxic chemicals such as lead, flame retardants and arsenic, according to a report issued Wednesday by an environmental group.
Researchers for the Michigan-based Ecology Center tested more than 1,500 popular toys for lead, cadmium, arsenic, PVC and other harmful chemicals. They said they found that one-third of the toys contain “medium” or “high” levels of chemicals of concern.
Unfortunately, many conventional teethers and pacifiers contain Bishpenol A or BPA which is a hormone disrupting chemical and is extremely harmful. Knowing a little bit about natural baby teethers and pacifiers will help in making a decision.
