{Blog Birthday Love} Review and Giveaway - Charlie Bears Little Organics Soft Toy

12/1/2014

6 Comments

 
December is Pasta & Patchwork’s birthday month! To celebrate I want to spread some love and write about all the things I hold dear, the people who I look to for inspiration, the ideals I cling to. 
Picture
One of those ideals is to raise my son without making a great big dent in the planet. For this reason we use cloth nappies rather than disposables, and we also try to think very carefully about the toys we bring into our home. And so I'm very excited that ethical baby product retailer Babipur has provided two gorgeous soft toys from the Charlie Bears ‘Little Organics’ collection for me to give away! 
Picture
We were lucky enough to receive a Charlie Bear ourselves recently as part of a promotion. Meet Barley, the lovely lamb:
Picture
He’s made from 100% organic cotton plush fleece and the filling is made from 100% recycled polyester filling. Barley and the other Charlie Bears are therefore not only safe but also environmentally friendly, making them a perfect cuddly companion for babies and toddlers (especially grumpy ones who've just woken up from their nap...). 
Picture
The fleece the Charlie Bears are made of is wonderfully soft, and I also like the attention to detail. For example, the ears and paws are lined with corduroy, to add a little extra texture. The other thing I immediately noticed was the smell! When we got him out of the packaging he smelled woolly, like that smell you get when walk into an Edinburgh Woollen Mill shop. It might sound like an odd thing to get excited about, but it was such a nice change from the synthetic, plasticky pong that usually comes off toys!
The lovely people at Babipur have given us two Charlie Bears Little Organics soft toys to give away: MeMe the Monkey and FiFi the Rabbit
