Gift ideas from Lactivist – Mugs promoting breastfeeding, babywearing and cloth nappies!

Lactivist mugs are nicely sized and dishwasher proof – they are made in Eastern Europe and printed in Bristol.
The images are heat pressed so the artwork is embedded into the ceramic mug. They won’t fade and they are dishwasher safe. They have been tested for months in a dishwasher with no deterioration in quality.

Stock levels are pretty good at the moment but I’m unlikely to get more printed before Christmas so get them while you can! I’ve got the ever popular Breastfeeding Bingo in stock as well as the classic Keep Calm and Carry on Breastfeeding or for babywearers Keep Calm and Carry your Baby.

There are very small quantities of the Kate Evans special mugs in stock too which along with her book ‘The Food of Love‘ would make the most wonderful present for any breastfeeding mum.

Mugs are £9.50 including postage and the come packaged in sturdy post proof boxes.

Blasts from the past! Pictures from the Lactivist archives.

Lovely Lactivist customers have been sending in photos of their children in their Lactivist slogan t-shirts for some years now. I was just sorting out my computer and I came across this batch from about 5 years ago. Back then I was doing transfers on t-shirts but I’ve changed over to more hardwearing screenprinting since, that’s why some of the designs you can see in the pictures are not for sale anymore.

My son (who is now 8) is in there, can you spot your children?

What are your favorite Lactivist breastfeeding badges? (poll)

Lactivist has stopped selling badges individually – it cost me money when people bought just one but I am selling them in lucky dip packs of 50.

I could bring them back in packs of 5 but if I do, which designs would you like to see? You can choose 5 options.

Which are your top 3 Lactivist pro breastfeeding designs?

I’m going to discontinue a few designs, I need to make Lactivist easier to run in order to keep it going. I just don’t have the time to keep it going like this – I spend hours a week running it voluntarily and I need to use that time to earn some ££ :-)

So please help me by choosing your top 3 Lactivist T-shirt designs so I can kill off the less popular ones. They will still be available through Cafe Press, I’m just setting up a site to point to them but in the meanwhile there is a list here: www.lactivist.net/?p=2871

Shopping Bags
On organic cotton and big enough to hold a laptop (and some biccies!).

New Organic Bags with breastfeeding twins, a baby and full term breastfeeding

This beautiful design is by the very talented Sarah of www.inkworths.co.uk – she also makes Fizzy Lizzy Fairies and Lactivist is very lucky to get her to design for us.

The design is based on a drop of milk that contains a mum breastfeeding a baby, twins and full term breastfeeding.

Organic cotton is farmed without pesticides, using natural methods. This means that it is better for the health of the farmers and their communities, and also better for the environment.

These bags are big enough to fit a laptop into. They measure 44cm accross the top, 34cm from top to bottom. They have a rectangular base so they stand up.

The straps are 62cm long so they are comfortable to wear over one shoulder.

And they cost a fiver at www.lactivist.co.uk
