Odds and Ends

This post is made up of different posts I started this week, none of which I've managed to finish. So I thought I'd round them up and try to string them together in a semi-coherent way (though far from eloquent I'm afraid; eloquence, not to mention inspiration, has a tendency to elude me after sleepless nights and days of alternately wiping noses, hands and bums X many, many, many).

1. Klean Kanteen Kolor has (ahem, FINALLY!) arrived. For now we are offering sippies in every "kolor" available: green moss, orange sunset, ocean blue, black eclipse, pink renewal and tree bark. Our introductory price is $21.95. They are already in our kiosk and will be on the web site shortly. If you're too excited and just can't wait to place your order, please email us at customerservice at ecomama dot ca. We'll gladly sort something out for you.

2. Did you notice we've lowered our prices on gdiapers?! All in an effort to keep things as affordable as we can. Also, coming very soon, refills available in cases! I do have to offer this warning though, that cases will incur extra shipping charges. Unfortunately, Canada Post charges an arm and a leg to ship. While as a general rule we don't make a profit on shipping, we don't believe in padding the prices of the products we offer either and then offering artificially low shipping fees. We don't usually charge more than the going rate, in fact, our fees are usually less! OK, enough about shipping, it's depressing and turning my good news into bad news!!

3. I've been testing out a deodorant stone sent to me by one of our suppliers. I'm really hoping it will pass the (not so scientific) test - then I can offer it to my customers who have asked me about alternatives. So far so good. Though this week may not have been the ideal time to test it out (you can go ahead and chuckle at my idiocy in a few moments). I've had no sense of smell since a lovely infection has decided to set up shop in my sinuses and I've been relying on the honesty of my nearest and dearest to tell me whether my presence is offensive. So, stay tuned for more on that. Or, if you're really gungho and know that this is for you, email me (at the above) and ask me about ordering it in for you, which I would be happy to do in any case.
