Every Lunch Box Should Have Some Happikins

I adore these cotton napkins from Happikins!

I was sent the creatures and critters set which includes five cotton napkins with really cool patterns. Turtles, snails and frogs decorate each beautifully patterned cloth. It also comes with a cool little zip up pouch for the napkin to stay fresh and fits neatly into your child's lunch box. The inside of the pouch has a...

wipe down surface so you can write little notes to your child in eraser pen! The USA made napkins are machine washable and dryer safe. The set is available from Happikins.com for $29.95. It would make a cute gift for some lucky kid and for a few bucks more, you can get monograms added to make them really personal.

Hand Made: Flower Power Bib Keeps Clothes Clean

How refreshing to see a bib that has actual absorbent capabilities! I am so tired of bibs that have no practical use. This one above is made from peach terrycloth (yes, the stuff towels are made from!) with brown, white, and sage terrycloth appliqued flowers.

Sturdy snap in the back holds the bib securely in place. Best of all, you can wet the bib and use it as a washcloth to clean off your toddler's face after a meal. Surely the cloth napkin loverswill approve.

Available at Peanut and Beans for $10.

Spit Up: Fabkins Cloth Napkins for Kids

As eco-conscious parents, most of us are constantly looking for ways to treat our tiny planet more kindly, and packing a waste-free lunch is definitely high on the list.

Fabkins ($22.95 for 5) has the right idea, and I really wanted to love this product. The thing is, most parents don't pack napkins in our kids lunches. Also, just like the whole cloth vs. disposable diaper debate, one could argue that washing these napkins uses water, electricity and soap. I'm already washing my kids' sleeves with the rest of their shirt,and if anyone knows how good her kids are at using their sleeves, it's me.

They are adorable, but looks aren't everything. Just ask Miss Teen South Carolina.
