They sell adorable organic cotton clothing and accessories for babies/toddlers/pets with simple graphics (sweet pea, pumpkin and lion are my personal favorites). All metal closures are nickel free and they utilize fair trade manufacturing standards.</p>
<p>But what makes this company truly stand out is the packaging! See, when you purchase a <a href="http://www.kee-ka.com">Kee-Ka</a> item it comes housed in this nifty little brown box crafted of recycled paper that is ready to be mailed in three simple steps. No digging for wrapping paper, no searching for tape, no &#8220;This looks like my kid wrapped it&#8221; thoughts. Nada.</p>
<p><!--more-->You just fold down some flaps, address and stick some stamps (they even help you figure out how many to apply) and you are good to go. Just in time for that baby shower, birthday or &#8220;just because&#8221; gift. I swear, they make it so easy! And talk about the perfect way to introduce organic products to a friend or family member.</p>
<p>Why should you support the organic cotton business? Cotton crops comprise less than 3% of the world&#8217;s agriculture, but use 25% of the <strong>world</strong>&#8217;s insecticides, according to <a href="http://www.theorganicexchange.org">The Organic Exchange</a>. Yikes!</p>
<p>Write that little stat on the bottom of the <a href="http://www.kee-ka.com">Kee-Ka</a> box and you&#8217;ll be swapping green tips with your stubborn buddy before you know it.</p>

They sell adorable organic cotton clothing and accessories for babies/toddlers/pets with simple graphics (sweet pea, pumpkin and lion are my personal favorites). All metal closures are nickel free and they utilize fair trade manufacturing standards.

But what makes this company truly stand out is the packaging! See, when you purchase a Kee-Ka [2] item it comes housed in this nifty little brown box crafted of recycled paper that is ready to be mailed in three simple steps. No digging for wrapping paper, no searching for tape, no "This looks like my kid wrapped it" thoughts. Nada.

You just fold down some flaps, address and stick some stamps (they even help you figure out how many to apply) and you are good to go. Just in time for that baby shower, birthday or "just because" gift. I swear, they make it so easy! And talk about the perfect way to introduce organic products to a friend or family member.

Why should you support the organic cotton business? Cotton crops comprise less than 3% of the world's agriculture, but use 25% of the world's insecticides, according to The Organic Exchange [4]. Yikes!

Write that little stat on the bottom of the Kee-Ka [2] box and you'll be swapping green tips with your stubborn buddy before you know it.

    <description><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" src="http://feelgoodstyle.com/files/2008/05/eco-me-lg-cropped.jpg" alt="Eco-Me Home Cleaning Kit" />The &#8220;green&#8221; cleaning products on the market are great, but they can be pricey. You <em>know </em>you should mix all your own house cleaning solutions, but it can be a hassle, and who knows if you&#8217;re using the right ingredients in the proper amounts? Finally, we found an easy way to make all the healthy &#8220;green&#8221; home cleaning products you need, all in one handy kit.</p>
<p>With the <strong>Eco-Me Home Kit</strong>, you provide the white vinegar, baking soda, olive oil, and water, and you&#8217;ve got everything you need to make an all-purpose cleaner, a wood polish cleanser, and a scrub cleanser, too &#8212; at a fraction of the cost of most store-bought non-toxic cleaners.</p>
<p>The <strong>Eco-Me Home Kit</strong> contains:<br />
2 spray bottles for mixing spray cleaner and polish<br />
1 jar for mixing scrub cleanser<br />
1 natural bristle scrub brush<br />
1 handy mixer<br />
1 microfiber cleaning cloth<br />
1 bottle Eco-Me Home Cleaning Essential Oil<br />
1 natural fiber storage bag<br />
Easy to follow instructions on how to mix ingredients (right from your own kitchen).</p>
<p>The essential oil contains tea tree, lemongrass, rosemary, and lavender pure plant oils, and helps purge surfaces of mold, mildew, grime, and water stains (plus it smells great!). The kit is available at <a href="http://www.ezoetic.com/p-791-eco-me-home-kit-make-your-own-natural-cleaners.aspx" title="Eco-Me Home Kit">eZoetic.com</a> for $26.00, and you&#8217;ll also find an <a href="http://www.ezoetic.com/p-794-eco-me-baby-kit-make-your-own-natural-products.aspx" title="Eco-Me Kit">Eco-Me Baby Kit</a>, <a href="http://www.ezoetic.com/p-796-eco-me-cat-kit-make-your-own-natural-products.aspx" title="Eco-Me Kit">Eco-Me Cat Kit</a>, and <a href="http://www.ezoetic.com/p-799-eco-me-dog-kit-make-your-own-natural-products.aspx" title="Eco-Me Kit">Eco-Me Dog Kit</a> there, too. Now it&#8217;s easier than ever to &#8220;green-it-yourself!&#8221;</p>
