Win a Natural Pod $100 Gift Certificate

As we search for products for their families that are wholesome and natural, we also realize that we can reduce waste and simplify our lives. Just a few, heirloom quality toys can replace the clutter.
Natural Pod offers parents toys and other products for daily living that stimulate the mind, while keeping your family safe. The eco-friendly selections are organic, durable, and simply beautiful, promoting both imaginative play and an appreciation for quality and beauty. The kids will have to watch out or we may snatch these toys to use as decorations.
We're very excited that Natural Pod is offering a $100 gift certificate to one of our readers. Browse their selection of trucks, trains, & boats, musical instruments, natural and safe arts and craft supplies, organic dolls, and more and you'll be sure to find the perfect gift for any child in your life. Our review of select items is coming soon but some of our favorites from this Canadian company are the whimsical Favorite Animals wooden picture book (no worries if baby likes to gnaw on this book), the stylish Organic Soft Blocks, the artfully crafted Stacking Fire wooden puzzle toy, and this wooden airplane for future pilots, adventurers, and world travelers.
You won't mind when your kids leave these toys out in the living room. And if an unexpected relative drops by for the holidays, you can always switch the tags on the gifts and tell her baby's toy is really a sculpture.

The whole shop is my favorite! But if I had to limit it, I’ll limit it to the group of stacking toys, though I can’t decide which one. Both the fire and the waves are super cool. And I love the play silks! (I think I’ve found my wish-list store!)

I love Fagus. To anyone thinking about ordering - you won’t be disappointed! The toys are so beautiful. Pictures don’t do them justice. They’re big and made to withstand many years of play. Definitely heirloom quality! Plus, the workshop where these toys are made (in Germany) employs handicapped adults. So you can feel good about that too.
