Urban Munchkin {Giveaway and Discount}

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

Organic cotton, certified fair trade, low impact dyes and recycle, reduce, reuse are just some of the bullet points you can find in the “Our Story” section of Urban Munchkin.  This fabulous company {owned and operated by two mommies} was founded on the need to find “conscious” clothing which was both stylish as well as functional for their own little ones.  This beautiful clothing line is successful in both of those aspirations {and VERY affordable}!

My family was sent a complementary long sleeve tee-shirt to sample from Urban Munchkin.  I fell in love with how soft and beautiful the shirt was.  I would much rather dress my little ones in comfortable clothing while they are playing and exploring.  If that clothing can also be fun and cute… what a bonus!!!  Also, like I mentioned above all of the clothes is made to support a vision of an eco conscious and kinder earth. Low impact dyes, PVC free, are used on clothing made of organically grown cotton and all tags and packaging are 100% recycled.  When you put this eco friendly clothing on your baby you can rest assured their carbon imprint is as tiny as they are!

Urban Munchkin would like to offer all BabyElan {daily} readers a 15% DISCOUNT.  As an added bonus they would also like to GIVEAWAY one long sleeve “Love” shirt in size 6-12 months to one lucky winner!  This contest will run for one week and is open to US residents only! Good Luck!
