#60 Cutlery, Plates, Bowls + A Lunch Box

How lovely do these bambu baby spoons from Bamboo Village look? They're 100% natural bamboo & are finished with a top grade, food safe oil. A set of 2 is only $14.95.

I also really like this second set which are also bambu & 100% natural bamboo, available from
moo said the cow for $14.95 & this gorgeous bambu baby bowl which for $29.95.

bambu Bamboo Baby Spoon - set of 2 


This lunch box via Rakuten is quite simply awesome? Although I think the website is having some problems with their currency conversions as the lunch boxes are marked at $19- $25, except this one which is apparently priced at $93... well as i said, it is pretty awesome? I'm pretty sure it's a glitch.

 

These plates & bowls from Smiling Planet are made from 100% recycled  high grade polypropylene plastic, contain no BPA, no lead, no toxic inks, phthalates & no PCV.
Also nice to know that as the image is sub surface, it won't scratch off. 
Plates are $14.95 & bowls are $13.95.

     

The ballerina mouse plate says 'when i dance i am ten feet tall' & the lion plate says 'some roar, i just smile'.
Nawww!
I like these a lot.

#59 Bamboo Children's Clocks & Eco Friendly Toothbrushes

I have just discovered Bamboo Village.
Look. At. These. Clocks....
Squeeee! These decoylab clocks are natural bamboo, have a natural oil finish & no ticking sound... Nursery perfect.
I just love them!

Decoylab Bamboo Clock - Bunny Decoylab Bamboo Clock - Elephant
Decoylab Bamboo Clock - Hedgehog Decoylab Bamboo Clock - Owl

The hare & the hedgehog are priced $69.95, the owl & elephant at $79.95.  I can't decide which is my favourite! Which is yours?

'The Environmental Toothbrush', also available from Bamboo Village, was the winner of the 2009 Green Invention People's Choice Award & were invented by an Australian dentist.
It is estimated that over 30 million plastic toothbrushes used & disposed of by Australians every year, that amounts to approximately 1000 tonnes of landfill... a mind blowing figure as it stands without even taking into account that it's only representative of an annual figure!
The Environmental Toothbrush can be disposed of in compost or landfill & will completely bio-degrade into soil in six months -  two years.
It is made predominately of bamboo which is 100% biodegradable & has natural antobacterial properties, the bamboo is heat treated to carbonise the surface, giving it a quality finish & a longer life span, this process also boosts it's water resistance & prevents the growth of bacterias & molds.
The bristles are made from a polymer which is also resistant to microbial growth.
Available in three styles - soft bristle, medium bristle & children's soft bristle, they cost only $3 each or $36 for a box of 12. Less than a regular toothbrush & a lot more environmentally responsible.
Also, they're pretty no?

The Environmental Bamboo Toothbrush - Single

I'm definitely going to order some, I'll let you know how they go!

Do you suppose I should test drive a clock as well?
You know, research *ahem*...
