By now I’m sure you know just how much I value eco friendly products for the family. But what you may not know is how much I love supporting fellow Canadians through purchasing items from their online stores.  That’s why I am absolutely thrilled to tell you all about Greenmunch!

Greenmunch is a small Canadian online retailer based out of Sherwood Park, Alberta that specializes in eco-friendly products.  Philip from Greenmunch is sponsoring my ABE package this year (come back Jan. 23-28th to enter!), and has graciously offered to giveaway a $100 gift certificate to Greenmunch to one Organic Mama reader!  I know, it sounds pretty fantastic, right? It sure is! But the best part is that you can easily find something Eco-friendly for absolutely everyone in your life at GreenMunch. The selection of products ranges from eco clothing and skin care to cleaning products and dinnerware!

Leading up to the big A Blogtastic Extravaganza, Philip recently sent me a few items to review for you – pictured above :)  The review items have been classified into “Eco Child” and “Fun Mom” packages.  I chose “eco child” items to review for you since my oldest (3) will be attending Junior Kindergarten in the Fall and we’ve been busily preparing him for such a huge milestone in his life. Below you will see the items sent from Greenmunch which will make this transition fun and easy for him!

As for the “Fun Mom” package, well it’s no surprise that we moms are always putting our children and spouses first and foremost, but deep down we all know how much we deserve a little fun in our lives – especially something that is just for us! Greenmunch has a vast selection of skin and body care products! But that’s not all, as you’ll see in a minute.

Eco Child Review Items

Balanced Day Lunch Kit: This 2 Sided Insulated Lunch Kit is ideal for Canada’s recently launched Balanced School Day System!  With two back to back sections, there is plenty of space for a drink, ice pack, cutlery, sandwich container and snacks per side!  My son has been toting this around all day long, pretending to be at school :) This is a practical, aesthetically pleasing, reusable litter-less lunch bag – and we love it!  $16.99

Soccer Ball Ice Pack: This soft ice pack is perfect for keeping lunches cold, but can also double as a boo-boo helper when your child has a bump or bruise! My son LOVES soccer, so this is a big hit in our home!  I love that this little ice pack will help brighten his day at school :) $2.95

Bag Tag – SoccerBall: This trendy, eco friendly tag is a perfect tool to help my son recognize his lunch bag or backpack while at school. We haven’t decided yet which it will go on, but I know he’s eager for us to attach it to something! When we’re ready, all we need to do is write his name on the back or front with permanent marker, loop through the handles (or straps) and he’ll be all set! $2.45

LunchSkins Reusable Snack Bags Set – 3 Pack: These reusable lead-free, bpa-free and phthalate-free snack bags are perfect for school! Unlike traditional baggies, these are super easy to open and close, so my son has no problem using them. Want to know the best mom-feature of these bags? They’re dishwasher safe! I love that!! $24

Fun Mom Items

Green Munch Paper Straws: Wow – these vintage style Paper Straws are such a big hit amongst all our family members! They are very sturdy, stylish (attention grabbing) and best of all, are FDA approved, made with food safe inks, biodegradable and even compostable! I am planning on using the baby blue striped straws at an upcoming baby shower – how perfect!  $4.50/25

Otterbottle – 500ml Insulated Drink Container: Look how beautiful this  insulated container is. It not only looks good, it’s good for you too – it’s made from BPA & Aluminum Free high grade stainless steel (18/8) with no liners.  It will keep your drinks warm or cold for hours. I love the screw off cap that reveals the drink nozzle. It’s perfect for adults and children alike! $22.75

X-MINI II Speaker: Whoa, this will blow your socks off! Tiny in size, but massive in sound! Once hooked up to my iPhone (or any cell phone, MP3 player or laptop), this little gem pumps out music like nothing else!  The quality is outstanding, filling the entire room with crystal clear sound.  This has quickly become my favourite workout accessory! $28.99
