Supporting Local Stores!

 I just saw an article about a woman who is camping out in front of a Best Buy with her friends just to make sure they don’t miss out on any of those Black Friday sales… So I guess it’s that time of the year again, where soon enough our tummies will be full of Thanksgiving treats, and we will be gearing up for Christmas shopping (and those who don’t celebrate Christmas will be trying to ignore the frantic herds of people shopping).

 Now, as you guys know, I’m a big supporter of living Green and eco-friendly companies. Since I like to not just find that perfect gift, by also support companies that have strong environmental values, I decided to showcase an up and coming local Portland business:

Ah!Natural Baby focuses on making safe, organic, eco-friendly baby toys. It was created by two brothers who wanted their nephew to have safe toys to play with. As their slogan says: “Your child never worries about what goes in their mouth, neither should you!” 

 All their blocks are made from Pacific Northwest wood, and the dyes they use are natural plant based; made from berries, spices and vegetables. Their blocks are so adorable, and they ship anywhere in the U.S.

So, check them out, and why not take this time of the year as an opportunity to support our local businesses  : )
