We're proud to announce that we have won an award from Parent Tested Parent Approved Media! PTPA Media is The leading awards program with the largest parent testing community and seal of approval recognized worldwide.
Our super-soft bamboo baby washcloths have won the seal of approval and rave reviews from parent testers! Just read what they had to say:
"I found these wash clothes to be very soft and absorbent, easy to clean and care for and very durable to with stand the washing machine.The clean white colour, and terry cloth like material on both sides of the cloth make bath time fun and easy. Since the wash clothes are made from natural products it was great for my baby's sensitive skin. A package consists of 5 wash cloths, a little pricey compared to others out there but some may find it well worth it for the quality is incomparable."
"Bamboobino's baby wash cloths are great to use for a variety of baby's and mom's needs! We really like them for bath time, but they are also great for nursing. My husband and I love how soft they are on our newborn daughter's delicate skin! They are super absorbent and hypo-allergenic, which we really like. We would recommend them to anyone looking for high quality wash cloths."
"This is a great product and it is light weight and hold up amazingly. I will be giving this as a gift because I like this better then any other cloth I have had."
"If you want a super soft, absorbent washcloth for your babies, this is it! No patterns, no colours just simple, natural and bamboo. As far as I'm concerned you can't have enough cloths in the house with little ones. And these are great!"
So thank you PTPA for reaffirming what our customers have been telling us all along!
We were recently invited by fellow entrepreneur Suzanne Bertani of Green Planet Parties and Mommy Footprint to band together with 12 BC companies to contribute 10% of proceeds from December 5-11 to the Making Magic Fund.
This is made possible by a collaboration with The Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund's Adopt-A-School program. This project identifies schools and their specific needs throughout Metro Vancouver. The site tells you the individual needs within each school so everyone can identify something to donate (sports equipment, winter coats in particular sizes, mitten, socks, etc.) The most needed item identified by all the schools of course is money so they can assess and fix their most outstanding needs. The amazing thing about donating the money via Adopt-a-School is they will match all donations so the money is being doubled, hence why we are all donating 10% of our online sales.
So from December 5-11th if you shop at these stores online – proceeds will be donated to help schools, which help children, helps families and helps our future.
Let the giving begin!
