Eco-friendly and organic – hot sellers!

Just got back from a busy and fun day today at the Children’s Trunk Show in Toronto. We hauled boxes and suitcases full of our Kai Kids products – everything from natural rubber pacifiers to organic cotton sleepers to non-toxic teething toys and natural skincare. It’s always interesting to see what sells in person versus online.
Today, the big sellers were two of our most popular items online as well: the Ringley Natural Teething Toy and the Organic Teething Bon Bon TM. Both I’m proud to say, were invented by moms here in Canada! I love finding unique, local products and partnering with other mompreneurs! It’s a win/win/win: great natural products our customers feel good about, plus sales for our mom suppliers, and sales for us at Kai Kids too.
But we also had some new products that sold like crazy today. They are so new, I haven’t even posted them online to our Kai Kids store yet! But if they sell as well online as today, I think I’m going to have to put another order in soon for both of them, which is great!
One is a range of safe, eco-friendly bibs, aprons, lunch bags and splash mat from Mimi the Sardine. Really cute stuff, with an eco-friendly acrylic coating that makes them wipeable and machine washable. The best part is they contain no PVC, plastic or lead, and the designs are bright and fun. Kids and parents love them.
The other line that did well was Toronto’s 3 Sprouts organic hooded towels ( a chicken and a monkey) and organic sleep sacs. Gorgeous, unique, very modern-looking and excellent pricepoints. Stay tuned as I’m going to add both to our online boutique as soon as our weekend of shows is finished!
So many amazing products there made by moms! Unfortunately, not many were eco-friendly

Hello, I read this post titled “endly and organic – hot sellers! | Kai Kids blog” about a week ago, might have been last Friday, and thought it was a good point. I’ve been trying for the last few days to find your site again but ended up finding it in Google using the keywords “Local Oakville company”. Anyway, I’ve forgotten what I wanted to post last week but I will be returning regularly. Bookmarked the page.
