When we were designing our future daughter’s nursery we wanted to create something fun and stylish but also didn’t want to spend a fortune or end up with a bunch of plastic and polyester crap. One thing we really struggled over was (weirdly) a laundry basket. We wanted something that was going to last a while and look stylish (as it would always be seen in her room) but the flimsy plastic ones seemed to start at $25 while the wicker ones (which from past experience never last as long as I think they should) were $40+. Then we stumbled across the organic storage bins from 3 Sprouts.
Made from 100% organic cotton canvas with animal designs in 100% eco-spun felt (made from recycled plastic bottles), these bins are rockin’ their eco-credentials while standing strong on both style and strength. There are two designs (Owl & Elephant) which are both available in two colours (pink or navy for the elephant and green or brown for the owl), and the canvas is strong enough for the bags to stand up on their own even if they aren’t full of stuff (and at 17″ high and 20″ in diameter they can hold a ton of stuff!)
Although not on the cheapest end of the scale ($38 at Amazon.com) the fact that the bins are such good quality and so multi-purpose makes it easier to shell out. Plus they are just too cute to resist!

All about: Emily: Emily is very proud to be one of the Spilt Milk Moms ‘founding mothers’ as well as being Mama to “Little Miss” (who was born in August 2009) and Wifelet to her Husbando. She spent seven years living in London which helped her to develop a keen eye for amazing products from around the world. As an actress and producer, Emily ensured her place in hell with over 3 years in children’s advertising (her job was “to create want where there is no need!”) but looks to undo the damage by finding the best things around for mamas and little ones. Emily is always ready with fresh baking, a silly song, or a glass of chardonnay and is renowned for always being overdressed and having a killer collection of heels that she’s not afraid to wear (even whilst babywearing!). You can also find her on her personal blog Aprons & Heels ~ emily (at) SpiltMilkMoms (dot) com |
