Green Ostrich Review and Giveaway

I absolutely love to spread the word about great eco-friendly companies - especially ones that offer awesome green gifts for my family! So, it is with pleasure that I introduce you to Green Ostrich - my new favorite go-to place for green gifts!

A woman-owned business founded in 2009 based just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Green Ostrich started with the following observation: the energy-intensive retail stores do not offer many Earth-friendly, green products. That, and they were spending a lot of time and energy driving in their car to and from these stores.

So, they decided to create an online store dedicated to Earth-friendly, green gifts and green toys to spark a consumer movement that requires environmentally-sound solutions for our lives. They help people make changes, not sacrifices. They help them live well and refresh the Earth.

I was graciously sent the Organic Cotton Terry Hooded Toddler Towel and Wash Cloth Set from Green Ostrich. Many new parents worry constantly about introducing allergens and toxins to their newborn baby and toddlers. A baby's skin in particular is more porous, more fragile, less oily, and thinner than adults. The 100% Organic Cotton Terry Hooded Toddler Towel and Wash Cloth Set from Green Bean Baby in Canada eliminates the stress of unknown side effects caused by pesticide-treated conventional cotton towels and washcloths. The cotton fabric is sourced in the United States and certified organic by the Texas Department of Agriculture to the USDA Organic Standards. An ideal baby shower green gift, the set includes a terry hooded toddler towel and a terry wash cloth in linen white with green leaf stitching.

My Opinion

I was so excited to receive this great organic towel and washcloth set from Green Ostrich! I love that it has a hood and I love how soft the organic cotton is on my son's skin! I just love to cuddle him up in this towel! The washcloth is also perfect for washing my son's sensitive skin on his face.

The only negative I have about this set is the size. It calls it a toddler towel set but it barely fits my (small to begin with) son who is one years old. I would have liked it to be a little bigger in size so that it fits him better and I can wrap up his whole body in the super soft fabric!

I recommend this organic cotton washcloth and towel set and all of the great products from Green Ostrich for all families who are looking for organic and green gifts this holiday season! They have a lot of great products and variety!
