Well, we’ve been having a lot of fun with our progressive sale. And I know a lot of you have too! A large part of why I started Clementine NW is that I truly believe in choosing fun, organic, safe, sustainable products especially for the most vulnerable of us all.

The biggest silver lining in the decision to close the business is being able to provide more people with the option to choose and eco-friendly product that they might not otherwise. I hate that so many fabulously designed products made with fair labor and with a focus on protecting our babies and the environment is cost prohibitive for so many. But, as in so many things, you get what you pay for… unless it’s on sale (everything is still 40% off)!

I also love giving away things for free!

So to get to the good stuff…

We’re going to be giving away a whole lot of great stuff that we’ve collected. We’ve got some Kathe Kruse baby toys, Yes To Carrots body butter, Born Free glass bottles, a fun Boogie Wipes gift basket, and a ThinkBaby bottle with sippy conversion kit. We’re also going to be giving away several free shipping coupons!

So here’s what you need to do to have a chance to win.

You must:

1. Leave a comment on this blog post with either your favorite eco-friendly product or best tip for going green with baby. Be creative! (1 entry)

Optional:

1. Make a purchase after Feb. 4 on Clementine NW and leave 5 comments here with your order number. All purchases WILL receive a little something extra. If you win a free shipping coupon you can choose to have your shipping costs refunded from your Feb. purchase or use for a future purchase. (5 entries each purchase)
2. Share our sale/giveaway and leave a comment describing how you did so with any appropriate links. Use twitter, Facebook, blogs, e-mail, message boards, etc. Please do not spam. (1 entry each method, up to 10)
3. Make positive change in your community and leave a comment sharing how you did so. (1 entry for each action, up to 10)

Please be sure that we have a valid e-mail address for you. We will be giving away something every week for the rest of the month of February, so keep those comments coming! Then watch your inboxes each Friday!

We’re starting our New Year celebration a little early. We will be having a progressive sale throughout the whole month of January, starting today. Each week prices will be marked down further from the previous week until we can go no lower! It’s a risk to wait as quantities for many items are extremely limited, but may be worth it!

Watch out for special surprises throughout the month as well. We may offer a special price, a special offer, a giveaway, or some other kind of surprise altogether. Our specials will be featured here on the blog, on Facebook, or on twitter. Suggestions for surprises e-mailed to info@clementinenw.com may be considered.

We would be honored if you spread the word about our little sale. One of my favorite things about having Clementine NW was introducing and offering some amazing products for mamas and babies. I would love for people to be able to get them at great prices.

Thank you all.

It’s the last day of our after-Thanksgiving sale! Shop now for amazing discounts on all of our sale items. Plus, we are still offering a coupon for 30% off any regularly priced items with code: THANKS

Isn’t it nice to have a holiday dedicated to giving thanks and celebrating family? We hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with friends, family, good food, and good fun.

Of course these days it isn’t Thanksgiving without Black Friday. As much as we are not fans of the consumerism of the season, we want to give you the opportunity to stay home and still get great deals on some of the best eco-friendly products for baby (and mama too!). Why fight the crowds and the crazy when you can relax at home with your pumpkin pie and glass of wine?

Clementine NW is going to offer a 30% off coupon on all regularly priced individual items. Every single item on our site at 30% off with coupon code: THANKS – Plus, we will be marking down our sale items too, no coupon code needed!

The best thing is you can shop throughout the week at Clementine NW and when you register, it will save your shopping cart. Then on Friday morning, just enter your coupon code and reap the rewards! Just remember to be quick, it’s not yours until you purchase.

And don’t forget to check out our new Mystery Boxes! These are a fantastic deal and give you a little element of surprise. Our Mystery Boxes are guaranteed to be a fantastic deal and may even include products you can’t find on our site yet, or anymore! How fun is that? (These are not included in our promotion.)

See you Friday!!

Do you love secrets and surprises? Do you love luxurious organic baby blankets, amazingly soft organic baby clothing, safe and soothing organic skin care, and funky baby shoes (plus a whole lot more)? We’ve got some fun little mysteries waiting for you for a very limited time… Clementine NW is offering Mystery Boxes filled with a selection of our best eco-friendly products for mamas and babies.

You are guaranteed to get some great products worth far more than what you’re paying, perhaps even more than double, plus a little mystery package in the mail is always a fun treat!

Here’s how it works. Clementine NW will choose a fun smattering of products for your mystery bag that is worth much, much more than the small price tag. You just need to tell us:

- your baby’s age (or due date)

- whether you desire girl or boy friendly, or unisex

Then you’ll receive your fabulous package full of green goodness! Our Mystery Boxes will be available for a very limited time, so scoop one (or more) up now!

Spread the word about our Mystery Boxes, e-mail us at info@clementinenw.com to tell us how you did that and you could win a Mystery Box for your very own!

On some surprise Fridays we are going to offer a free gift with purchase. This week we are featuring the Earth Mama Angel Baby teas.

Wise women through the ages have looked to medicinal plants and herbs to support mamas through pregnancy, natural labor, birth and baby! They well knew the herbs that were useful during pregnancy, as well as which herbs were to be avoided. Generations have handed down their knowledge, just as science has rediscovered these natural gifts from the earth to help modern mamas through all the stages of pregnancy, childbirth and beyond.

Earth Mama Angel Baby’s natural pregnancy products combine ancient wisdom and contemporary knowledge to help comfort women through pregnancy nausea, heartburn, hemorrhoids, pregnancy anxiety, swollen feet, stretch marks and more. Whether a shower or blessingway gift, or just comfort for yourself, Earth Mama Angel Baby products honor pregnancy as a completely natural process that can be supported – naturally!

Make any purchase today and get an Earth Mama Angel Baby tea for FREE! Choose from Earth Mama Heartburn Tea, Earth Mama Morning Wellness Tea, Earth Mama Third Trimester Tea, or Earth Mama Milkmaid Tea.
