What’s with the whole Bamboo Craze?

In the past year, I have been seeing a lot of parents going “gaga gougou” for Bamboo. From clothing to bedding, many prefer bamboo from other types of material.

It has gotten to a point, where I have been to family occasions and the topic of the day amongst parents (especially mothers) is about all the amazing qualities of bamboo. So, I thought to myself why not figure out what the hype is all about and do some research of my own.

It turns out that it offers an extreme organic experience like no other which is the main reason that parents have been trading in their baby cribs’ Plain Jane bedding for bamboo.

Simply put Bamboo material is:

    Super soft, silky & fully absorbent,

    Breathable & Hypoallergenic,

    Antistatic, antibacterial & antifungal,

    Powerfully insulating & is a natural UV protector.

Wedding Registries: A long-term investment

Here are a few statistics associated with the cost of weddings in Canada nowadays.
(Statistics from Weddingbells.ca)
·         Average expected cost of a wedding is $20,129 (up from $19,279 in 2009)
·         During the engagement period, couples buy: (Statistics from About.com)

           $4 billion in furniture
           $3 billion in house wares
           $400 million in tableware
           Average amount spent per guest on wedding gift: 85$- 150$

Over the past few years the wedding landscape has drastically changed.
Brides and grooms are getting married later in life (27 years old and 29 years old, respectively). As a result, more and more couples have amassed a wide array of furniture, house ware, and/or tableware before getting married.
Today couples who need items can simply register at their favorite department store and create their own personal “wish list”. Thus, gone are the days of receiving useless gifts and/ or the same gift twice.

A great idea for brides and grooms to be is to invest in items or products that are long-term assets. The new “it” thing is bamboo; bamboo cutting boards, bamboo sheets, bamboo furniture, etc.  For example, bamboo sheets have a lifespan far greater than cotton sheets (given the proper maintenance) and they carry hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties that can’t be beat. Bamboo sheets of 300 to 500 thread count offer quality that can challenge 1000 thread count cotton. Finally, bamboo can keep you cool on your hottest nights and can keep you warm even when your significant other can’t. What do you think?

Happy shopping!
