Every year in honour of Earth Day we hold a sale featuring all of our earth-friendly products: products that are made from renewable resources, products that are organic, products that are sustainable and can be reused over and over, products that support healthy living, products that encourage families to be out in nature, products that support “natural parenting”.

Every year the number of products that go on sale increases as we add more earth friendly offerings. This year when we took a careful look at our store, we realized that virtually our whole store is earth friendly. We make every effort to ensure that what we offer to you is of top quality and therefore, sustainable. We do have some plastic products, but the quality of the plastic is such that it will last through many children and is leach free, BPA-free, lead free etc. And sometimes we order something only to find out from you, that it didn’t hold up well. That’s how we learn. And that’s how we know not to order that product again.

In light of the fact that almost everything in the store (and on our website) is earth-friendly, we decided to put everything on sale.

The web sale begins on Thursday, April 21st and ends on Sunday, April 24th, Everything will be 15% off! The retail store will have two sale days, Thursday the 21st and Saturday the 23rd. We will be closed for Good Friday.

These two days will also be bag-free, so remember to bring your own bags or boxes.

Mountain Baby has just learned that our fall TV commercial on Global Television has won the Honourable Mention (the equivalent of a Silver) award from the Television Bureau of Canada. This was a national competition in the “C” category of populations of up to 250,000. So we were up against commercials made in places like London Ontario, Red Deer Alberta, Saskatoon Saskatchewan and St. John’s Newfoundland

Our commercial was shot right here in Nelson, population 9,258, in Gyro Park, using local kids. It was shot with a very small town budget! We competed against businesses with many more resources at their disposal.

Mountain Baby worked very closely with Dan Caverly of local Global TV. Dan developed the concept, directed the filming and did all the camera work (people in small towns learn to do it all!).

Accordiing to Dan:

(The commercial) was judged by consumers on it’s effectiveness with questions like: Does it give you a good/trustworthy feeling about the store? Does it make you want to buy? Do you understand the product? Etc.
- There are 2 tiers of judging. If the commercial makes it through the first tier with high points, it goes to another group. Then it has to achieve yet another very high score to get an honourable mention.

So we’re pretty stoked about it. Thanks to Dan for his wonderful creativity and for the families that have participated in this, and all of our other commercials.
