Support small: Xmas gift guide for her.
Xmas gift guide for her featuring Canadian small businesses
Bamboobino is an innovative and award-winning line of children's clothing & accessories made from soft, sustainable bamboo. Bamboobino is on a mission to provide families with thoughtfully designed and ethically made products, by empowering their choices for sustainable living.
Founded by Sharon Chai, a dedicated mother of two, in Vancouver, Canada, Bamboobino was born out of the pursuit of finding the softest, most practical, and environmentally friendly fabric for her children. Having already incorporated bamboo products into her household for years, Sharon’s discovery of bamboo’s potential in fabric spurred her mission to share this exceptional fiber with other families.
Bamboobino embodies the essence of a small, mom-owned business that places a premium on customer trust and satisfaction. Here are Sharon’s picks for gifts that moms will appreciate:
