Hello Friends of the Bambino!

We’ve got favorites to suit every flavor – from fun to fragrant and furnishings to funtainers.  So come along now, let’s have a look at this week’s Fab Five Faves…because there’s nothing wrong with being popular:

	1.  Green Toys Tool Set Who said it’s not cool to be a tool?  This adorably-packaged 14-piece set – crafted from 100% recycled milk jugs – will help your kid tackle home improvement projects big and small.
	2.  California Baby “I Love You” Aromatherapy Bubble Bath Shower (er, bathe) your kid with love this Valentine’s Day with Cal Baby’s special blend of ylang ylang, sweet orange and pesticide-free essential oils.  A bubbly treat, even if you have no clue what ylang ylang is.  (Some say it possesses the fragrant scent of custard.  Yum, custard.)
	3.  Ecotots Surfin’ Growth Chart We love Ecotots’ U.S. designed and made furniture for it’s ease of assembly, durability and timeless style.  This surfboard-shaped growth chart (offered in four colors) is a super-cool addition that will liven up any kids’ room.
	4.  Dandelion ReUsable Forks & Spoons (8 Pack) We’ve been shipping lots of Dandelion lately, and we think we know why…it’s well-designed, made for everyday use, snappy-looking and really affordable.  This set of forks and spoons are made primarily from corn and suitable for all your little ones. (The forks actually work without being sharp – imagine that!)
	5.  Thermos Funtainer Cool Camo Straw Cup Thermos’ Funtainer straw cups are prized for their durability, insulation, non-toxicity and dishwasher-safe build.  This spunky pink and purple camo version has always been a favorite, but emblazoned with a silver heart and the word “love,” it’s been elevated to must-have status in advance of this Valentine’s Day.

Gotta run; our warehouse just received a new shipment of clothing from Parade Organics and I’m jonesing for a look.  We’ll be sharing them with you real soon.  (I know, I’m such a tease.)

Hello Friends of the Bambino!

To finish out your week, we’re bringing you another edition of the populist Fab Five Faves newsletter from Greeno Bambino, highlighting the 5 most popular items of the week as selected by you, our favorite fans:

	1.  Sam and Bellie Activity Apron/Smock Another brilliant offering from Sam and Bellie, these multifunctional aprons/smocks are equally at home in the kitchen and the playroom.  Available in three designs (Roadway, pictured here, Airplanes and Birds & Owls), they have a convenient tri-pocket across the front for holding all manner of supplies for your busy little boys and girls.
	2.  Dano2 Circus Teether Rings These teether rings were the first creation of the innovative family-driven design team behind Dano2, and they’re as good as ever.  Crafted from medical grade plastics are three individual teething rings of varying color, size and flexibility, all packaged in a compact translucent holding case.
	3.  Green to Grow Baby Bottles Green to Grow’s sturdy, adorable baby bottles (offered in both 5 oz. and 9 oz. and regular- and wide-neck versions) have always been a steady fan favorite.  But since we put them on sale last week (not just any sale, but a super-triple-fantastic sale), they’ve positively flown off the shelves.
	4.  Silibibs Elegantly simple, Silikids’ hypoallergenic silicone bibs (get them in red, blue or green) with a quick-snap two-position closure are great in the house and even better on-the-go…roll ‘em up small and wipe ‘em clean quickly.  Best of all – they’re dishwasher and washer/dryer safe.
	5.  Erba Organics Baby Shampoo The husband and wife behind Erba Organics are dedicated to creating top-notch organic body care products for kids, and their everyday shampoo is a home run.  An organic aloe base combines with the natural cleansing properties of oats and olive oil to create a rich lather, organic lavender and organic chamomile soothe before bedtime, and organic mandarin leaves seal the deal.

Three more quick hits today:

We know many of you have already thrown your support towards a wide variety of relief efforts in Haiti, and we’re offering you another way to lend a hand.

Now through February 15, Greeno Bambino will donate $5 from each sale of Miss Brittany’s Organic Preschool Fundough Kit to UNICEF’s relief efforts in Haiti, and Miss Brittany’s Fundough will donate a matching amount.

That’s $10 from every sale of Miss Brittany’s Organic Preschool Fundough Kit going directly to support relief efforts. Please know that the U.S. Fund for UNICEF is absorbing all associated administrative costs, so that 100% of every dollar we give to UNICEF will support UNICEF’s relief efforts for children in Haiti.

Hello Friends of the Bambino!

Last week we promised to deliver something pretty cool to all our loyal subjects – er, fans. What’s so cool, you ask?  Since our best customers are our repeat customers, we decided it was time to give a little bit more back to all of you.  So here it is…

Starting right…now (seriously, right this very second; come check it out), Greeno Bambino is introducing GreenoGreen, the easiest rewards program on any planet in the entire solar system.  (Well, Pluto’s Pocketful of Pennies program is pretty sweet too, but since Pluto’s not really a planet anymore, GreenoGreen still takes the cake.)  Here’s how it works.

From now on, you will automatically earn 1 GreenoGreen point for every dollar you spend on greenobambino.com (excluding tax and shipping).  Every 10 GreenoGreen points earned are redeemable for a $1 discount on future purchases.  For example, 100 GreenoGreen points may be redeemed to reduce a future charge by $10.  (You must have a minimum of 100 GreenoGreen points in your account in order to redeem.)

That’s it.  You don’t need to do anything – other than shop, of course.  No need to activate anything or fill out forms.  Just make sure you checkout using your Greeno Bambino account – not anonymously, that is – and you’ll automatically earn your points.  And hey, if you don’t like rewards programs, just forget we mentioned it and keep shopping at full price.  That’s cool with us.  (If you’d like more information about the GreenoGreen program, just log in to your account and click on “GreenoGreen Rewards Program.”  But really, there’s not much more to it than this.)

One other bit of good news here: The unofficial mascot of Greeno Bambino, our slobbering, sleepy, sloppy English Bulldog Stella, has lately developed an insatiable thirst for snow.  That’s neither here nor there.  But the good bit here is that we’ve realized other creatures – say, little children perhaps – are also particularly thirsty during these dry winter months.  So with a sprinkle of compassion we have temporarily dropped the prices on all Thermos Foogo stainless steel sippy cups and Green to Grow baby bottles to barely above cost.  Come and get ‘em before they get gone.
