We recently read a list of both the top 20 most useful new baby buys (and the 20 least useful). Guess what topped the most useful list? You guessed it - nappies. Every baby does its thing and every family needs a stash at the ready.

So if you are looking for the most practical new baby or baby shower gift of all, it's nappies. However, if you (or the family in question) are going the green and eco route, cloth nappies are the way to go....but they are such a personal choice and it is difficult to choose nappies for somebody else. 

The solution? The NapNap Voucher. If you buy a new parent a NapNap Voucher, your 'gift' will be worn time and time again (more often than a 0-3 babygrow) and it will never run out. Cloth nappies are kinder to babies' bots and they are soft, colourful and very stylish. So help your friend or family member today to get those bottoms in cloth. The NapNap Voucher (basically the cloth nappy voucher that can be used in lots of places) is exchangeable for pretty much everything you might want - terry squares to luxury embroidered nappies. Go on, pop one in your order today. You know it makes sense!

For more information on modern washable nappies, visit the NapNap website.

You probably wonder why The Really Eco Baby Shop is different from any other gift shop. We love products that are organic, fair-traded, original, useful and good value and do our best to source them for you. You do not have to trawl the internet to find a present that will be both ethical and beautiful: we have it all here at The Really Eco baby Shop.

It's Chocolate Week (10th-16th October) and we're celebrating! The chocolate we sell seems to go down so well with everyone who buys it that we thought we would try and spread the goodness. Therefore, we are throwing in a free bar of Rawr Chocolate with every order over £15. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Click here to find out more about the benefits (yes benefits!) of raw chocolate. Just don't forget to tell us which flavour you would like in the 'Special Instructions' box at the checkout. Bon appetit :-)

Just a quick word on our star product, the NapNap Voucher. This is probably the ultimate in eco baby presents. A NapNap Voucher is a washable nappy voucher that can be exchanged in lots of different shops for washable nappies. You can read more about NapNap Vouchers on the NapNap website and find out where they can be used here.

There are probably two scenarios where you might buy a NapNap Voucher.

1. Your friend/family member has asked you for one. Great! Go wild.

2. You want to get one for someone to give them a nudge in the right direction. Well... remember you can get NapNap Voucher for as little as £5 and you can sweeten it with some other lovely gifts (chocolate? handmade soap?). However, £10 might be a better amount as then they will definitely be able to buy one nappy to get them going without having to spend any of their own money. But of course, it's up to you. Bon chance :-)
