Last fall, we received a beautiful bath towel for my daughter. It’s been so useful to us as it has a lot of extra features, but my husband surprisingly was the first to comment that the one thing this towel was lacking was softness. In some cases, it seems like quality goes down in favor of saving money but then what is the point of giving a baby bath towel as a gift if it’s scratchy?
I have found the answer to avoiding scratchy-towel baby gifts, bamboo! Did you know that bamboo is naturally anti-fungal and anti-microbial? It’s no wonder that it’s also odor free. What a great idea for towels – when you think about it, wet towels are a breeding ground for bacteria and odor. It’s great having that extra defence in a bamboo towel, especially in a household with children who leave towels laying on the floor (husbands are included in that statement).
Bamboo is also 4 times more absorbent than cotton, another great feature when dealing with a baby fresh out of the bathtub, or a child who comes out of the shower dripping wet and doesn’t quite get the whole concept of drying off entirely before getting dressed (or is that just my 4 year old?)
A few weeks ago we received a bamboo and cotton hooded towel (60% bamboo, 40% cotton) to review. I know most hooded towel sets on sites are meant for infants so I was happy to see that this towel is bigger than average (30″ x 30″)and was still useful for my 16 month old. I love how soft the towel is and we used it immediately. I actually (gasp!) didn’t wash it before our first use, testing out the antimicrobial features of it.
My daughter, like BabyBam mom-preneur Jody’s 2 children, is allergic to dairy and has sensitive skin as a result. Bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial, preventing odor, allergies and skin irritations. This, to a mom of an allergic child, is huge. I have replaced our usual bath towel with this bamboo one and will be switching to bamboo/cotton for my daughter – one more step to helping her skin in any way I can.
BabyBam Collection also features clothing and bath products for baby, as well as a gift set area. Hooded towels from BabyBam Collection normally sell for $40.00 but for the month of April in honor of Earth Day, they are 1/2 price!! $20.00 for a bamboo/cotton hooded towel is a steal. It’s a good time to get one for your own family or to give as a great baby gift (and no one will know the deal you got, you’re a gift giving superstar!) Also, shipping is free for orders of $75 or more.
BabyBam Collection would also like to offer readers the chance to win a BabyBam Collection bamboo/organic-cotton onesie (available in sizes 0-3m, 3-6m, 6-9m).
