Great stuff!
I just had a baby 6 months ago, and i have been really making "green" changes in our home, I think its important to give my baby the best products and make sure she is exposedto as little as possible when it comes to plastics and chemicals and such

I love the stainless steel lunch boxes with the carrying bag! what a great concept. And the wooden kids dishes are beautiful, as well as functional.
I too want a world without plastic! Thank you for offering products that make us feel good to purchase and use without worry. You are a company after my own heart!

It's definitely cute enough to use whether you want to go all-non-plastic or not, though!
1. That its GREEN!! YAY!
2. That they have so much great info on the front page--awesomeness!
3. That they have stainless steel stuff for kids--I've been looking EVERYWHERE for this stuff!
4. That their site is so user friendly!!
What a cool company! Thanks Bellaziza for the intro! xoxox
So i went and found site and found that they have a genious idea. Living without plastic! I love how they are working on products to make our planet plastic free. I also learned how plastic may have good ideas for practicality ,it may also be harmful.Containing BPA.Keeping my son safe is my most important responsibilty.
I love that they have come up with air tight containers,dishes,utensils,toys,and storage products all free of plastic.To chose a favorite would be the hardest thing to do.I love the vanilla doll made of wool~cotton and bamboo. Since we travel though I would have to pick an airtight product.I do look forward to seeing more fun colors on everything like in the bowls they have. The color and characters of course would be more accepted from children than the regualar stainless steel.

I really appreciate the detail they provide on the product pages. I like to know about the construction, the country of origin, whether it's dishwasher safe, etc. They've paid attention to other details, too, like providing eco-friendly, minimalist packaging. Love that!
thanks,
I love that the site gives you information on plastics and also carries all the alternative choices for you. They have great principles.....
This is a very generous giveaway!

We really could use this giveaway in our kitchen! I really try to be 'green' but I still a little disgusted with all our plastic 'sins' that are hiding in the cabinets!

Thanks to you and to LifeWithoutPlastic for the chance to win some amazing SWAG!
Googled the site to find it.
I really like all the information they provide about plastics. Great to hear that Canada said that BPA is Toxic.
I really like the stainless steel plates. I didn't know they existed. Now I think I might have to get them.
I do love the food storage containers.
Thanks!
Thanks for the info!

The one thing I was a little bummed about was that all of the Water Dispensing containers were so expensive! It can't cost $80-$100 more to make a stainless steel gallon container as opposed to a stainless steel 12 oz. bottle! I could never afford those prices.
I like that you can choose the currency you want to see the prices in but I was surprised to see US$ as the default given the company in Canadian.
Got your new button on my side bar too!

Will be re-visiting the site later as I had a few problems looking at some things, but overall easy site to navigate.
Of course, I love everything about this green company.
There are some drawbacks to stainless steel and wood, though--like being able to heat food in it in the microwave. I would suggest the company carry more glass items, since those can really help round out the "sans plastic" lifestyle.
Website problems (1Sherry, 11monica, 19Melissa, 50Kimberly, 57 LeaneG, 60lace, 79Vickie, 95Louisa): There was a little technical issue related to the links during couple of days of the contest, but that has been fixed. As for any problems with our site itself, we would be grateful if you would send us a quick e-mail ( service at lifewithoutplastic dot com) to let us know the exact nature of the problem you are having. Our website was recently completely renovated, and while the site and ordering process should be working fine based on the extensive testing we have done – but which is ongoing – glitches do arise, and we do our best to deal with them lickety split.
Product prices (8Shea,17Claire, 86Alexia): We do our best to price our products so they are accessible to as many people as possible. Our prices reflect the high quality and durability of the products, and the enormous efforts we put into ensuring they are safe, environmentally-friendly and ethically sourced. Alexia, regarding the prices of the water dispensers, it is actually a lot more expensive to make, import and sell these than the water bottles because of the amount of stainless steel used, the workmanship, the weight, the country of origin (Thailand – distance costs; Italy – labour costs).
Why go non-plastic? (38Mandy): You make an excellent point in questioning 'changing over to all non-plastic stuff'. We are great advocates of doing one's own research before doing anything, and also in taking a precautionary approach. A key element of our mission is to help people decipher the complex plastic world – all plastics are not equal. In our opinion, the research is solid and clear on several plastics – such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate (bisphenol A), plastics with certain pthalates in them – but there will always be more research that can be done on these and all other plastics. At some point, each individual has to decide where the line is for possible exposure to toxins in the environment, be it from plastic or other sources of toxins. Our plastic info section is hopefully a start in helping you decide which plastics, if any, you might wish to avoid. And as mentioned above, we will be adding tons more info to it in the coming months, including oodles of scientific references.
Less heavy messages, more product info on home page (69Brie): We totally understand your point, and selling safe, environmentally-friendly products is certainly one of the core things we do. But another is helping inform people about plastics and plastic news. We need to have the heavy messages on the main page because to us, that information is as important as the products we sell.
Toys (83shana, 106Rachel, 108MegT): Utterly delightful, high quality wooden toys to come in the next few months. We are so excited about these products, which are unique not just in what they are, but how they are made. We'll keep you posted.
So did you read Jay's comment??? SEE!!! As we say every week, our sponsor companies REALLY DO VALUE YOUR OPINIONS SO MUCH!!!
It's so exciting for me to see this interaction, as this type of interaction really and truly is my vision for BellazizasFavorites.com! It is my goal to help educate our readers not only on the best products, but to also inform these companies that are holding such a high standard of excellence of what they are doing right and more importantly, how they can improve!!!
Thanks to everyone and to Jay at LifeWithoutPlastics.com for your time and comments!!!

I look forward to the ice cube tray being available. Many of us make our own baby food and would love an alternative to plastic trays for freezing it!
The customer feedback on your pages is a great touch--it gives the site a more personal feel.
I'll keep an eye on your site as you expand your product line.
I also like that Jay from LifeWithoutPlastic responded to posted comments. That shows a company who really cares about their customer's opinions.
Oh by the way the children's 3 piece green frog dish set with the stainless interior is adorable.
