Real Nappy Week starts today

Close Parent Goecash hunt

Every year for as long as I've had children (which is 15 years) we have had a 'Real Nappy Week' where retailers, manufacturers, councils and support groups, get together to promote washable/real/reusable nappies to parents and parents-to-be in the UK.

Nappies was how I got into the whole Natural/Green Parenting 'scene', when I realised how much money we would be throwing away by using disposable nappies. Then learning about the environmental impact and horrible chemicals in them convinced me that washables were the way to go. If the subject is new to you, have a look at the video's we did to explain the issues simply.

During this week most of our suppliers have offers on which we pass on to our customers.  Close Parent the makers of Pop-in nappies have come up with an ingenious idea.  Geocaching is a fun activity to do with the kids. Yesterday we went on a hunt to Cotham Gardens where we found the Geocache in which we have stashed 10 envelopes, each containing a unique code that can be exchanged for a prize or offer in the store. My 2 loved it, so much so that we went on to find 3 more Geocaches around Bristol. There is also one near the London store. Both are within walking distance of the stores so easy to do in 1 trip.  To participate read the info on Close's website and www.geocashing.com  and download the app from your App store. the light version will be fine, you don't have to get the full paid version. The top prize is a 5 pack of Pop-in nappies worth £75!

Our offers this week

As it's Real Nappy Week we've got 10% off all Real nappies in-store, with an extra 5% when you book a Your Baby Your Way consultation this week and have the session by the 15th May.  Having a shop means you get to see and most importantly have a play with the nappies before you buy them. The extra 5% is to promote our excellent personal advice service that you can only get in-store with our One-to-one service.

The discount is available on all nappies, wraps, liners, nets, training pants, swim nappies and buckets but excludes Nappy Fresh and disposables.
