 Wanna
cuddle? Zubels
adorable, hand-knit toys are soft, safe and snuggly
because they’re made from 100 percent all-natural cotton
and eco-friendly dyes. My kids love the Super Frog and his
flying cape, but don’t miss the other cuties, like the
colorful giraffe and the sailor-boy monkey. $17-21
 Air-kiss
buh-bye to your generic reusable grocery bags—the stylish
new picks from Ityse
are a must-have for a hip, eco-friendly shopping experience.
The small, lightweight bag easily hooks onto your purse with
a stainless steel S-Biner, or you can use the 7-inch coordinating
nylon handle to carry it on its own. For bigger loads, streamline
the process by stuffing your reusable mesh and rip stop bags
into the Ityse. $35
