Under the Nile Toys from Taraluna Review & Giveaway



I am very particular about the toys I give my me baby. Since everything goes into her mouth, I need to know what they are made from and that they're safe. But of course, I still want the most adorable things I can find. At  Taraluna, a wonderful fair trade company that specializes in green and organic products, I found the most adorable baby toys around at prices that are extremely reasonable.





For our review, we received the Under the Nile Organic Veggie Crate. These little guys are perfect for baby's. They are easy to grip and baby's will love to chew on them.  The veggies are made from certified organic Egyptian Cotton and even the dies used in them are free of toxins and metals.  Willow loved putting the little guys in and out of the crate and hugs them every time I hand her one. She especially loves chewing the carrot. You can get the crate for only $30 or buy individual veggies for $7 a piece.  They even have an adorable little veggie hats that match.



The Under The Nile Baby gifts would make the perfect gift for any little one or a wonderful shower idea. But these are only one example of dozens of amazing products available at Taraluna. They also have beautiful jewelry, spa products, pet supplies, and lots of green back to school items like lunch boxes and thermoses.   You can keep your whole household green and stylish with Taraluna.






And now for the giveaway! One lucky winner is going to receive two organic toys--the Organic Monkey Toy and the Organic Elephant Toy in the color of their choice. Including shipping that's a total value of $38.99. Even if you don't have children, these will make wonderful holiday gifts.
