Those shopping for new parents can help invest in the future of the child and choose a stylish and practical gift.
Choosing the right present for expectant parents can be a tricky task and can often result in duplication of gifts – but the arrival of the full gNappies range in the UK, providing a hybrid non-disposable nappy solution, means an alternative gift idea is available which also helps protect the future of the planet.
Kim Graham-Nye, founder of gNappies who was recently named in the top 10 of the Fortune 100 Entrepreneur list, says: “A green baby means a happy planet, and with society increasingly trying to reduce its carbon footprint now more than ever, gNappies offers an opportunity for eco-aware new parents to do just that. People often don’t know what to buy new parents and it can result in lots of items or clothing that just don’t get used – so gNappies is a good practical and thoughtful alternative gift.”
A starter pack such as the gNappy baby bundle contains everything needed for new parents to get started with gNappies. The bundle contains both tiny and small sized cute and colourful little gPants; which accommodate any new-borns growth, complete with the cute ‘g’ logo on the back. The bundle also comes with 80 biodegradable gRefills, which are designed to fit into the little gPants and can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. They can be home composted or disposed of in the domestic waste.
Not just eco-friendly and practical, the gPants are stylish and come in a variety of colours and patterns. The gRefills create biodegradable nappies that are trendy, colourful and nature friendly whereas the washable gCloths can be used over and over again, offering a cloth nappy option. The bundles can also be personalised for boy or girl by adding the new gWipes which are also 100% biodegradable.
When we were kids there were no such things as disposable one-way diapers (nappies, in Britain) and, while it must have been a rather messy affair in some ways, if not all ways, with the soaking of them and all that, the Planet was better of.
Then came the disposable ones, in the same way as almost everything else became disposable, from beer bottles and soda bottles to razors and diapers and everything else in between.
The rubbish that this has all created is choking the Planet and we are still working on the BAU model, not wishing to give up the disposable aspects of our lives and such.
We only have this one Planet Earth upon which human life is possible and the way we are going about it we are about to be one of the last generations that still will be able to live on it.
Time we took steps to seriously change that and real nappies (diapers) instead of disposable ones that linger in landfills for centuries is one small step.
The full range of stylish nappy ‘pants’ comes in a range of colours, patterns and sizes, and is now available for purchase via a dedicated gNappies UK website, where buyers can opt for bundle packs or individual gPants, gRefills and gCloths. To see the range visit www.gnappies.co.uk.
