Lavish love
Filed Under Places, Stuff | April 16, 2008
You know how some boutiques, though small, manage to have a capsule collection of wonderful things? Well Lavish & Lime, the newest entry into our online shopping oeuvre, recreates that feeling online.
First a little note about why we, as mamas, love online shopping. We can do it on our own time, in our pajamas if we so desire, and we needn’t worry that our tots are destroying the store while we browse (the house maybe, but not the store). Plus there’s always that tingle of anticipation when the postman arrives at the door, parcel in hand.
But back to Lavish & Lime. This relatively new boutique, while not specifically a mum and baby site, has lots of lovely family finds. For ourselves and our kids we like the aluminum Laken Water Bottles from Spain, a nice alternative to the more ubiquitous Swiss water bottles made über popular by Oprah. And if we were going to splurge we’d get the Juicy Slices Bracelet which is not only stylish, but would easily do double duty entertaining baby with its bright colours and jingly bits.
In their baby & kids section you’ll find diaper bags custom-designed for Lavish & Lime from Astrosatchel, lots of organic toys, organic onesies and a Learning Crocodile that we’ve had our eye on for a while. They also offer a great paraben-free Baby Wash that is full of ingredients we can actually pronounce and a fun and functional Baby Bum Spray that does what it claims, and makes cleaning dirty baby bottoms quicker and easier. How can that not be a good thing?
We also appreciate that husband and wife team, Colin and Louise Campbell, source Canadian-made products whenever possible and focus on hunting down naturally-made products that are environmentally friendly as well.
So, just like that little neighbourhood boutique where you like browse, we predict Lavish & Lime will become an oft-visited online destination as well as a relied-upon source of gifts for both big and small.
