The window of opportunity for exerting some parental control over your kid’s friends is pretty small but if you could, wouldn’t you want them to hang with someone wholesome and smart, say like Big Jax here?
Jax and his other buddies are all eco-savvy cool, stitched up in hemp fibres, organic cottons and recycled threads, they carry backpacks loaded with Douglas Fir tree seeds .. ‘cause they like the shade and protection trees offer, plus they keep the air fresh and that’s pretty cool too.
The handcrafted dolls are heirloom pieces, packaged minimally in post consumer recycled boxes that neatly double as wardrobes to hang their outfits in!
♥ $69.95 USD

♥ Tiny Tastebuds has developed a clever storage jar for baby food that’s high on design features and absolutely absent of the chemicals and toxins associated with plastics.
Their terrific handblown jars come in sets of six with handy maganetic labels for parents to note culinary efforts, and are totally microwave, freezer, dishwasher and oven safe!
Other neat touches include food grade stainless steel lids, a wide necked opening and measurement markings etched onto the glass.
The creative dynamo behind these cleverly devised jars is Aussie mum Melissa Steele, who spurred on by the poor quality storage options available for her son’s food, spent over a year painstakingly developing a product that offered superior functionality and safety.
Her baby, the Tiny Tastebuds Jar, is a brilliant win for both her and our children.
♥ $55 set of 6

UK designer Christa Davis’ line of baby and children wear is uniquely stylish, an eclectic blend of vintage fabrics and reconditioned cashmere transformed into striking apparel and accessories.
Standouts are the fabulously adorable booties (above) from Christa’s Lost and Found collection: they come in a recycled paper box, fit from birth to 12 months and are a mere £8!
And I’m sure older children will adore the opportunity to dress up in her exquisite butterfly wings (above).
Fairly made in the UK and Europe Baby Davis (0-24mths) and Little Davis (2-12yrs) are available via Christa’s ♥ website, or if you’re lucky enough to live in London busy mums can opt to have Christa make a house call!
