I have only recently become vastly more aware of the awesome eco-friendly products available today and their benefits to both our bodies and our environment. I am pleased to find that eco-friendly can also mean eco-hip and ultra-cool!
Unbreakable Spirit! Unbreakable Style!
Have you seen these, yet? If not, brace yourself for an incredibly appealing array of high-tech aluminum sports bottles for kids (bye, bye sippy cup) and adults alike. SIGG has been making sports bottles since 1908 and these babies are virtually unbreakable, lightweight and built to last! I have recently put these to the test with my 3- and 5-year-olds (boys I might add!) and these are not only tough, but the cool graphics have been a huge hit!
Now for the
Health Facts:
SIGG bottles have a baked-on inner lining (exceeding FDA requirements) which ensures no metallic taste, no taste transfer (OJ to chocolate milk, no problem!), and no leaching of plastic into your beverage. Um, yuck.
Also, SIGG bottles are designed to be re-used over and over again to help reduce waste caused by disposable packaging. And trust me, you will 100% want to use these over, and over, and over again!
Here is a sampling of styles and accessories available from Swiss Knife Shop (trust me on this!). Also FREE shipping is included with all orders!
Kids'
Styles:
Available in a variety of sizes featuring leak-proof lids and dirt-proof caps. Also, the inner lining flexes with the bottle, so even if a denting occurs, there will be no inner breaks or cracks!

What a great gift for a new mom (or yourself, of course!) I love that these soy candles are 100% natural and completely biodegradable (even the box!). They are lead-free, contain absolutely no toxins, and burn slower, cooler and up to three times longer!
