    I love the selection that My Little Green Shop has. I would pickup a laptop lunch kit and a couple of reversible hoodies for my little man :)

  2. Kathy on February 15th, 2010 8:28 am

    I like the bamboo cutlery, safe sippy and the cute clothes.

  3. Paula on February 15th, 2010 8:50 am

    I would buy a Blabla Mini Doll (Bubbles the Cat) and the Fig Kids Mink Dress in size 4 or 5 if it’s available! :)

  4. Kimberlee on February 15th, 2010 9:27 am

    We were so blessed with many hand me downs when our son was born that I haven’t bought anything new for him. I would spend the $100.00 on some new clothing and a Safe Sippy! then we can hand the clothes onto to the next person who has a little boy:)

  5. Elizabeth on February 15th, 2010 9:42 am

    My son would love the ImagiPLAY Dragon Alphabet Puzzle and Block Animal Puzzles, very cool and unique! I think he’d like the boys yoga pants as well and I’d like the Bambu Mimi Bowls for him, too.

  6. Natasha on February 15th, 2010 9:45 am

    I’d pick out some of the bamboo baby boy things for my girlfriend who is expecting at the end of February, some Piggy Paint & Remover to make my daughter smile, and a fig kid jacket for my son.

  7. Jen on February 15th, 2010 10:02 am

    Dano2 duckies for sure! We’ve been trying to get rid of all of our nasty, moldy squirty bath toys, much to our daughter’s dismay. I love that it opens to dry out, and that it’s dishwasher safe. Also some Little Twig bath stuff and Piggy Paint!

  8. Alexandra on February 15th, 2010 11:02 am

    The double breasted knit sweater is lovely! Will keep you in mind for purchases! Living in Gibsons we mail order for special things.

  9. Melody on February 15th, 2010 12:17 pm

    I would get the bambu mini me bowls so I can replace those plastic ones that I have accessible in the lower drawers for little ones to get their own cereal. I would get piggy paint for the 40 piggies I have in my house and kleen kanteens for each kid (different colours to avoid fighting) and the baby buzz patches to use on our upcoming family adventure.

  10. Stefania on February 15th, 2010 1:12 pm

    I would purchase the cute little bamboo bathrobe, too cute!!

  11. Shelley on February 15th, 2010 1:46 pm

    I’d purchase the sprig adventure series (they sound really fun!) and some clothes for my baby boy.

  12. Jamie on February 15th, 2010 2:32 pm

    I’d have a hard time narrowing down my top choices! For clothes, the Fig Kashmir jacket and bamboo jeans would be a very cute outfit for my little guy. He’d love to work on his hand coordination with an ImagiPLAY block puzzle, and I would have peace of mind with a Miyim stroller toy to replace his current non0organic stroller toy.

  13. Lucia on February 15th, 2010 2:50 pm

    I love the Trebimbi Puppets Club feeding set – perhaps it’ll get my little guy to enjoy his time at the dinner table more! And he’d love a few of the Imagiplay block puzzles too!

  14. tpalice on February 15th, 2010 4:52 pm

    I’d love to spend it on the blabla mobiles and some muslin blankets!

  15. Brenda on February 15th, 2010 4:57 pm

    I am interested in the baby buzz patch; I’ve never heard of it. My daughter would be thrilled with Piggy Polish (and remover). Then there are always clothes :)

  16. Emma on February 15th, 2010 7:09 pm

    I would go for the amazing bathrobe. It is so hard to find beautiful simple and conscientious clothing for kids. I love that “My Little Green Shop” has so many brand in one place. And there is a lot of variety in the price points as well. I would also get the Skoon Booties and Green Toys Dump Truck to round it off!

  17. Veronika on February 15th, 2010 8:52 pm

    It is hard to say – so many great items to choose from! I’d get some nice toys for my daughter. I really like the ImagiPLAY puzzles. The Snail is particularly cute!

  18. Sherry on February 15th, 2010 8:57 pm

    I am in love with the fair trade BlaBla hats.
    I would also get the Bambu Mini Me Bowls since we still don’t have any dishes that are baby friendly that aren’t plastic… I’ll be watching for stainless steel dishes on your site! I have been putting off getting organic sheets for the baby’s crib, but that would definitely be the other big item I would like.

  19. Lisa Bennett on February 15th, 2010 11:10 pm

    I love the bamboo baby bathrobe…how sweet is that! My little girl would love it…just like Mom & Dad. I also would get the ImagiPlay Block Puzzle of the backyard animals and the laptop lunch bento box set.

  20. Krissie on February 16th, 2010 4:28 am

    I am pleasantly surprised with the free shipping! I love all of the eco-friendly products and cant wait until my baby is old enough to use the bamboo bowls and the cool italian cutlery set!

  21. Susan Giles on February 16th, 2010 6:59 am

    Oh, the Piggy Paint! My son wants to get in on the action when we paint my daughter’s nails, but he is a nail biter and I hate to put regular polish on him. We are fans of the Dimpleskins line of products, especially Boo Boo Goo. I would stock up for sure! And what a clever product the Baby Buzz Patch is! Perhaps a Laptop Lunch as well!

  22. Chloe Perron on February 16th, 2010 8:28 am

    Everyday and in every way, it is increasingly important to take the time to understand how each of our consumer decisions impacts the environment. Teaching our children by example how to care for future generations by creating a minimal footprint is paramount so having an online shop like ‘my little green shop’ with its amazing collection of beautiful clothes and products, helps busy moms make great environmental choices for things they need.

    I always love great natural bath products and I especially love those by Little Twig products. So if I had $100 to spend at ‘my little green shop,’ I would get a set of Little Twig: Bodymilk, Bubblebath, baby powder and wash and diaper cream.

  23. Kimberly on February 16th, 2010 8:41 am

    I loved the lunch kits as well as some of the beautiful clothing. I would also get some of the toys, they would make wonderful gifts!

  24. Dana Kaneko on February 16th, 2010 11:14 am

    If I won I would spend the money on a Sprig Adventure toy, a swaddle blanket and the laptop lunch bento box set:)

  25. Danika on February 16th, 2010 11:59 am

    what a great site! I would love the ImagiPLAY wooden puzzles and laptop lunch box set for my daughter and definitely clothes for my little guy – I love the Egg Baby Bamboo items and Sckoon Monkey Pants. =)

  26. Jen on February 16th, 2010 3:26 pm

    I’d go for a Klean Kanteen and an Oeuf Chunky Cardigan sooo cute!

  27. Olivia on February 17th, 2010 8:31 am

    I’d love the get the Zia and Tia Double Breasted Jacket for my son! Very sophisticated!

  28. Anna on February 17th, 2010 8:39 am

    Love the ImagiPLAY wooden puzzles for my kids! THANKS.

  29. Michelle on February 17th, 2010 10:15 am

    I want to purchase a couple of laptop bento boxes when they are back in stock. I did purchase a “green” bath toy, TWIG unscented bath bubbles and a bamboo bowl for my baby. It is an awesome store and seems to have great customer service!

  30. Megan on February 17th, 2010 1:24 pm

    I would definitely love to splurge and get the Zia and Tia Cable Matinee sweater. So sweet and functional and lovely!

  31. Robyn on February 17th, 2010 4:27 pm

    I adore the animal puzzles … especially the snail! And since we’re just entered the “eating real food” stage, I’d have throw the baby cutlery and bowls. Oh, and those photos on the homepage are TOO CUTE! Are they submitted by customers or professionally done for the store? Thanks for sending me to the site, yoyomama!

  32. Andrea Firmani on February 17th, 2010 7:00 pm

    So much selection! I would spend the money on any of the Egg baby outfits. I like the hoodie in blue!

  33. Vivienne on February 17th, 2010 9:22 pm

    Oh, many of the clothes – for sure! Also, can’t help myself when it comes to buying Babylegs. My little guy would also get the biggest kick out of the Green Toys Dump Truck and the Snail Number puzzle. And I’d love the bambu bowls and kiddie cutlery for mealtimes!

  34. Cynthia on February 17th, 2010 10:00 pm

    Who won’t want to have the kid’s hoodies and lovely fig dress? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM.

  35. Karen O on February 18th, 2010 12:02 am

    I really like this site for all the playful and eco-friendly children’s products! I absolutely love the laptop lunch set, ALL the ImagiPLAY puzzles and the Blabla hats are soooo cute. While I already own the Klean Kanteen sippy cups, I’d like to try out the Safe Sippy Cups also. Lastly, the Bambu Mini Me Bowls are a great plastic alternative!

  36. Jackie on February 18th, 2010 10:42 am

    What a really great site, so organized. I could easily spend the money on the Young ladies section, like the Ohgeez Yoga pants, and the toy puzzles are fantastic.

  37. Leanne Harris on February 18th, 2010 5:43 pm

    Zia and Tia double breasted sweater and pay the remainder owing, so cute! Love a lot of the other clothes too but I love outerwear and hats so much!

  38. Sheila on February 18th, 2010 11:51 pm

    This was as much fun as going through the Sears Wish Book when I was little! As close as I could get to $100:
    Puff the Alphabet Dragon $40
    Piggy Paint $10
    Laptop Lunch Bento Box Set $27
    Micro Pod Bag $29

  39. Lisa on February 19th, 2010 4:21 am

    Wow! Your price on the Blabla Mini Dolls is great! I’d have to buy at least one and then decide on how to spend the rest. It’s a great site and really nice to know that everything is green! I love shopping where I know it’s safe for my little one – well done!

  40. Robyn on February 19th, 2010 9:06 am

    Wow, where do I start? There are so many things that I would love to have. Some of the mealtime accessories would be great, and I love the bath time products. I love all the blabla products. Really there are so many great things to choose from!! What a great site!

  41. Misti on February 19th, 2010 9:58 am

    Great selection! I would pick up the Puff the Alphabet Dragon and the Kanga Sweater for my little man. If there was any left over then perhaps a few of the cute bambi bowls, or a pair of organic baby legs!

  42. Brenda on February 19th, 2010 10:43 am

    My first choice would absolutely be the awesome Dog Family puzzle. I love how warm and loving it looks with all the puppies that fit into the spots that the parents don’t, kinda like real life. I loved the muslin swaddling cloths, very lovely for little one.

    The bamboo baby maternity skirt looks like a dream. My first pregnancy I kept right on budget by wearing my husbands clothes and a couple of hand me downs that made the rounds through my wonderful circle of moms. A lovely bamboo skirt that’s not only new to me sounds like an almost unthinkable luxury.

    I would certainly get into the piggy paint, which I expect will be making it into my daughter’s easter basket this year, the little fashionista!

    Bambu cutlery and bows would be rightly fantastic in our wishful eco home.

    I could spend all day making this list but the sun is shining and it’s time to start making some vitamin D!

  43. Kelly on February 19th, 2010 10:58 am

    There’s many things I would love to try but I can’t wait to get some Bambu Mini Me bowls!

  44. KoKo on February 19th, 2010 11:02 am

    I love the laptop lunchbox, but I think I would spend the $100 on the Oeuf clothing for boys. It’s way tooo cute!

  45. Katherine on February 19th, 2010 3:34 pm

    Oh so hard to choose! The alphabet dragon is lovely, as it the denim dress. My daughter would look so cute in it!

  46. nataile on February 19th, 2010 3:43 pm

    What a lovely store. You have so many cute items. I love the alphabet dragon, the teether blankets and the trebimbi meal sets. You also have a great selection of onesies

  47. Shara on February 19th, 2010 9:24 pm

    I’d like to get the Oeuf Kanga sweater for my little guy since it’s sooo adorable and probably not something I’d normally spend that much on. Or should I say my husband wouldn’t normally spend that much on (I probably would but he’d see the VISA bill sooner or later! haha).

  48. Kathy on February 20th, 2010 10:19 am

    I love the options for my daughter that are so cute functional and earth friendly. I can’t wait to win I ordered some Bambu bowls and cutlery. When we win we’ll splurge again!

  49. mary Andreola on February 20th, 2010 10:40 pm

    If I won the $100, I’d most definately purchase the ultra cool Laptop lunch kit. As my daughter will be entering grade 1 in September, She will be attending school all day, and so packing lunches will begin!! I really love the idea of many small compartments to hold a number of different snacks/foods in one big box. Super concept!! As well a gift card for a friend who is having a baby in March is on my list also. Sharing is caring!!!

  50. Sabrina on February 22nd, 2010 6:15 am

    I would buy the Miyim Fred monkey as my baby launched his out of his stroller while we were walking and I unfortunately didn’t notice and we’ve missed that monkey ever since. I would also get the egg baby hoodie and onesie.

  51. Thea on February 22nd, 2010 8:20 am

    oh boy – there is a lot to choose from! I think I would start with the Klean Kanteen sippy cup, bamboo cutlery & bowls and then a cute clothing article like the monkey pants.

    fingers crossed!

  52. Susan Ball on February 22nd, 2010 9:32 am

    I would buy the Trebimbi feeding supplies. So cute!

  53. Tara Wease on February 22nd, 2010 1:04 pm

    Hi there everyone! Hope you are enjoying the lovely sunshine:) I would definitely choose the ImagiPLAY puzzles and the natural body care products for my little one’s eczema!

  54. Katie on February 22nd, 2010 1:40 pm

    Oh wow! So much amazing product and the clothing is especially gorgeous! I am crazy about wool and know how incredible a fiber it is, so I would love love LOVE to get my son the Oeuf reversible hoodie. He would get so much wear out of it. I also really like the Bambu Mini Me bowls and the Bambu kids cutlery.

  55. Jennifer Wong on February 22nd, 2010 2:08 pm

    I would buy the Laptop lunch bento box for both my boys. Anything to make lunch more interesting for the kids, and easier on me. The alphabet dragon would also make a great gift for some lucky kid.

  56. Mareesa Cunneen on February 22nd, 2010 3:34 pm

    I’d get the alphabet dragon, laptop lunch box, safe sippy or maybe the sama hooded towel for my new little baby due next month.

  57. Neena on February 22nd, 2010 5:08 pm

    What would I buy if I won the 100.00 — Oh my goodness, I would start off by putting my little monkey in some monkey pants, then I would sit him down to lunch in a laptop lunchkit, I would get the bamboo cutlery and bambu mimi bowls for home and then sit him down to do block animal puzzle with some water in a safe sippy.

  58. DT on February 22nd, 2010 9:14 pm

    What a great website! I am very impressed with the selection and prices too. With two little ones, I try hard to be conscientious about what (and how much) we consume. This is a great (almost) one-stop-shop. I have a boy and a baby girl. I’d get the Trembimbi puppet cutlery set (v. cute), another Klean Kanteen sippy (works well), I’d be tempted to throw in TWO laptop lunch kits (one for the big guys – us – and one for the little guys), ok and who could resist the pumpkinhead puppet…Hmmmmmmmmm I could / probably would go overboard: what about the Positively Organic Kimono Romper? and the Fig Kids Mink Dress? the Bamboo Baby Classic Jean?? the Positively Organic Burnt Orange Tee? Sama Baby Azure Blue Hoodie?? The crib set is gorgeous too….

  59. Victoria Finley on February 23rd, 2010 12:10 am

    I would get the Little Twig Bubble Bath, Bla Bla Backpack and Trebimbi Puppets Club dining set for my 3 year old.

  60. Julie on February 23rd, 2010 4:58 am

    I loooove My little green shop, and there are so many things I’d like to get! A Sckoon kimono top and Monkey pants for the new baby due in October, a Bamboo baby bathrobe, a Fig Kids Mink Dress for my toddler, a few pairs of Positively Organic yoga pants for both kids (you can never have too many pairs of yoga pants), a few pairs of Bamboo Baby socks, and a Sama Baby Hooded towel. I’ll make sure to get the ImagiPLAY block puzzles and the Dano2 Ducki. And maybe a Bamboo Baby Maternity skirt for me since I already can’t fit in my regular pants anymore… I would go crazy and get a few extras: a nice grey Honeywear Baby sling, a Blessed Nest Nursing pillow, two Bambu baby and kids cutlery sets and a few Bambu mini me bowls. Wow! This would be such a treat! :0)

  61. Charlie on February 23rd, 2010 2:35 pm

    bambu mini me bowls and cutlery = PERFECT no plastic no china

  62. Gail on February 23rd, 2010 4:12 pm

    I loved the laptop lunch boxes…very easy for little kids to take snack and lunch with them. The puzzles were also great. Both of my older kids love to do puzzles so I’m sure my younger one will as well. The piggy paint would be great for my 2 year old girl as well as she wants to just be like her 9 year old sister!

  63. vivian on February 24th, 2010 4:12 am

    The Little green shop has so many wonderful things to choose from. The wooden toy puzzles would be a nice for my toddler and the dano2 teether for my baby girl.

  64. Ingrid on February 24th, 2010 8:18 am

    OOOooo. Zia & Tia sweater for my little one!

  65. Jules on February 24th, 2010 9:15 am

    My Little Green Shop has lovely and thoughtful products. My little one is five months and we’ll soon be introducing solids. I can’t imagine a better way to introduce him to the world of foods than to have him eating with healthy, safe forks, spoons and bowls. So with a $100 certificate I would purchase the Bambu Mini Me Bowls and Fork & Spoon Set. I am also very concerned about plastics leaching into his baby bottles & nipples so I would also purchase the Green to Grow bottles and nipples. Finally, I would top it off with the Sambu Baby Washclothes. I would have peace of mind knowing that I am washing my little one with safe products. And they are all very cute products!

  66. Sandra Raines on February 24th, 2010 10:07 am

    Terrific range of products!

  67. Naz* on February 24th, 2010 12:08 pm

    Very cool products! If I won, I would get the safe sippy cup, the egg baby hoodie (so cute), the bamboo bath robe looks so comfy cozy, little twig bath smells so good and is so safe, and an imagiPLAY puzzle (these are genius) for my little gal…

  68. Melody on February 24th, 2010 1:53 pm

    Great store! I would get the ImagiPLAY Octopus number puzzle, the Piggy Paint and the Piggy Paint Polish Remover, and the Fig Kids Mink Dress for my little girls!

  69. Megan on February 24th, 2010 2:24 pm

    ooh i could spend $100 lickity-split at this lovely site! would love to have the bambu bowls and cutlery for meal times and a nice soft pair of yoga pants for my little guy would be very appreciated. i would also be delighted to get the maternity skirt in bright beautiful fuschia-so cheerful compared to all the black i usually wear.

  70. Danielle Thomspon on February 25th, 2010 7:56 am

    I’ve never heard of this site before, it’s very neat and I love how it’s Canadian! I saw the page about asking a professional that’s something I foresee myself using lots! Looking through the site it kind of hard to decide what to buy first there’s so many neat things. My daughter has a rare blood disorder and this have left her with a very low immune system and very very sensitive skin, the Dimpleskin Chest rub and the Little Twig Gentle Care pack and the Little Twig Diaper cream is something that I’d like to try for sure. Last year was a very bad year for wood ticks these baby buzz patchs and the Dimpleskin Boo Boo Goo is very cool I’ll have to try those. Well I think the last thing that I’d put on my Shopping list if the Safe Sippy Cup after the BPA problem going around I will not use anything plastic so another stainless steel cup around is always good. Thanks for showing me this wonderful site; I’m very interested in trying the Organic Baby Products :)

  71. Alicia on February 25th, 2010 9:05 am

    My baby is 5 months and about to start solids at 6 months. If I won the prize I would buy her some eating gear. Bamboo cutlery especially! I also like the skin spray in the animal section. Since having kids my poor dog has gotten less than his share of the attention. I would buy that for him and then make some special time for him!

  72. Winne on February 25th, 2010 10:36 am

    I wished I knew about this store earlier. My daughter is almost 17 mos so mealtime supplies would be on my list. I’d buy the Klean Kanteen Sippy, Laptop Lunch, Safe Sippy, Trebimbi Puppets Club, Bambu cutlery, and the Bambu mini me bowls.

  73. Leah on February 26th, 2010 8:59 am

    What a wonderful shop!
    My little guy is starting to be an independent eater and I know he would love the Trebimbi Puppets Club dish set. (Mommy loves it too!)
    I also really like the blanket/poncho. Soooo cute!

  74. Vicky on February 26th, 2010 10:29 am

    I visited your very cute Little Green Shop
    I really liked your Bento Box Laptop
    Your Bambu Mini bowls would be great for dinner
    And your Imagiplay Dragon puzzle is also a winner.
    My two kids would be ecstatic, as happy as can be,
    So as your contest winner please choose me!

  75. Terri on February 26th, 2010 10:34 am

    I wish I had found this site sooner! I love the Bento box lunch container for my older kids, and the bamboo utensils for my baby girl! The natural avocado soaps and the dimpleskins products look like they would be great solutions for me! Thanks for sharing

  76. Glenys on February 26th, 2010 12:11 pm

    Hmmm.. hard to choose! I would probably go for a Blabla doll (Leonardo the Lion?), a kleen kanteen sippy cup, a Green Toy Dump Truck and a T-shirt or two. It would be great to see some BOY dolls for sale on this site!

  77. Tanya on February 26th, 2010 7:58 pm

    I’d love the Green Toy Dump Truck for my little digger! Great website!!!

  78. Dawn on February 27th, 2010 9:56 am

    I love the muslin swaddling for my newborn. I have 1 already and I will definitely pick up another couple to have on hand. My toddler would love the dump truck, as well.
