Wellington, New Zealand, April 13th, 2009 - Eco-Friendly Merino Apparel For Kids - Unique Packaging to Be Reused and Re-Imagined, Not Thrown Away

Kids are being given the chance to try the Icebreaker range of beautiful, silky soft New Zealand merino wool garments that were a huge hit with grown-ups in previous winters.

As part of its ongoing commitment to the environment, Icebreaker has developed packaging for its Kids range that can be not just re-used, but re-imagined.

For Fall/Winter 2009, Icebreaker’s Kids products are inspired by the sheep stations in New Zealand’s Southern Alps where the merino fiber for the garments is grown. The line includes Icebreaker’s new Bodyfit+ crews and leggings, which feature whimsical all-over prints for boys and girls.

For older girls, the Bodyfit+ line offers graphics of New Zealand animals and birds, while boys will look sharp in a camo print that features a stylized map of New Zealand’s main islands.

“Youngins often don’t tell us when they are cold. Bodyfit is a nice way for parents to have alternative options,” says Sandy La Rowe, Icebreaker VP of Product Design and mother of Teagan and Raiden. “Icebreaker Bodyfit and Bodyfit+ were designed to be worn as tops and leggings around the house or as long underwear outside on cold days.”

Merino is warm, renewable, biodegradable, fire retardant, and offers excellent protection against the sun. Parents love their kids in Icebreaker because the garments are machine washable, and dry in a flash.

Icebreaker’s Sport line of active mid layers, hoodies and crews offer bright colours, giving girls and boys the warmth they need to stay active in cold weather.

Memorial weekend is always a good time to shop. Most places are clearing their inventory to make room for new summer items. So to avoid the in store frenzy check out what is happening online. Here are a few of the promotions I’ve gathered…

REI Memorial Day Savings up to 30% on selected outdoor gear, clothing, shoes and more. Check out the Great Gear Deals for bike trailers and accessories, youth backpacks, and shoes.

BACKCOUNTRY is offering up to 30% off as well. They have a huge selection of clothing, shoes, and jackets. Also check out the sale on family gear where you can find a good selection of backpacks, tents, strollers and more.

ALTREC is having a Spring Fling sale offering a 20% coupon.They also offer free shipping on all orders over 45 dollars.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner. It will be here sooner that you think and if you are like me or my husband (wink, wink) you’ll be scrambling for a gift idea. So here are some suggestions or perhaps things to add to the wish list…

A new tent for the up and coming camping season. Now that we are new parents the good old two person “snuggler” just wont due. Check out the new Marmot Limelight 3-Person Tent. It’s a 3 season tent that includes a foot print and gear loft. Here are the stats: 10-square foot vestibule, 43-square foot interior, 41 in height, 3 pole set up with pole clips that make the Limelight Tent quick and easy to pitch, weighs only 5lb 14oz,Marmot added mesh panels to the walls for increased ventilation, and a lifetime warranty.

What Mom doesn’t like accessories? How about jazzing up the stroller with some nice conveniences for the stroller. Like this handy little BOB Single Jog Stroller Handlebar Console. Complete with two water bottle holders and a zippered storage compartment for keys, phone, wallet and what ever else Mom needs.

Here is a fun one the whole family will benefit from the Camper’s Dream Ice Cream Ball. Simply load ice and rock salt in one end, and ice cream ingredients in the other end. Play with the ball, rolling it around for 20 min. and, voila, you’ve made a pint of delicious ice cream! Or you could go big and opt for the Camper’s Dream Mega Ice Cream Ball. It makes a whole quart. Now that’s more like it.

Finally, how about some fun family games. REI has a great selection ranging in all kinds of prices. My favorites would be The Great North American Bird Watching Trivia Board Game and the Wham-O Glo’N the Dark Air Darts.
