Swedish company Nowa Li is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. They are best known for integrating sock and shoes to make a very comfortable easy to care for slipper.

While the company has grown tremendously since its inception, it has remained true to its roots, moccasins that are practical and comfortable. In 2009 Nowa Li won several awards, including the iParenting 2009 Outstanding Products Award, the National Parenting Center Seal of Approval and the Family Choice Award.

We just added a new Frog design moccasin to our line-up. The original cable-knit moccasin is available year-round, every year.

I am very happy to Introduce Dropper Stopper to The Boy’s Store infant boy accessories line-up; such an ingenious idea/item.

Dropper Stopper was founded by sisters-in-law, Nicole Williams and Meredith LaMirande. Mom Inventor, Nicole, was determined to help moms across the world solve an irritating problem. The two developed a product that incorporates a mother’s need for cleanliness and safety, along with a desire for convenience and style.

Dropper Stopper is perfect for use in the mall, restaurant, amusement park, airport and everyday life. It keeps cups and toys clean and close. You can use either end to secure items. Perfect for bottles, stuffed animals, teething rings and more…

The elastic design allows the stretchy ends to secure around your baby boys items. The opposite end is attached to a secure location such as a stroller, highchair, baby carrier… How could you not want to use one and stop the pick me up game? What a great reasonably priced gift it would make for any new mom.

The best part, you can machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle and line dry it. It comes in a variety of patterns so that you can mix and match. The Boy’s Store will be carrying two styles until more “boy designs” become available.

Wayi logoWayi products are hypoallergenic and are a good option for the chemically sensitive. Wayi chooses to support sustainable growth and production by providing natural products that have minimal environmental impact. Bamboo naturally repels insects making the use of pesticides unnecessary. They use AZO free dyes (free of hazardous chemicals) and meet strict European environmental standards. In short, Wayi is encouraging health and healing through the use of environmentally and people friendly products.

We are delighted to introduce a small selection of Wayi bamboo socks for purchase at The Boy’s Store. Bamboo socks absorb four times more than cotton and unlike cotton the more a bamboo garment is washed the softer it gets. It is a natural bacteria inhibitor so bamboo socks will stay fresh longer and no bleach will be needed when washing them. Just a little cold water and a line to dry them. You can use your dryer is you prefer just remove them promptly. I bought a pair for myself to get a real feel of these socks. I now wish I had splurged for more than the one pair.

A little about bamboo. It is one of the world’s most prolific and fastest growing plants. It is widely grown throughout Asia. More importantly it is grown without pesticides in “plantations”. These plantations were set-up to cultivate bamboo in such a way as not to interfere with the Panda habitat. It can grow as much as 18” over night and takes in 5 times as much green house gas and produces 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees. Continue reading »
