Go Green!

Hannah's Toybox is proud to kick off a new line, Go Green! Go Green! helps you cut down on waste in your everyday chores. The first product in our new line are our Go Green! reusable produce bags. We've long brought our canvas totes to the market like everyone else, in an effort to keep nasty plastic bags out of landfills and save trees. But then we got to the produce department, and tore bag after plastic bag off the roll simply to keep our apples and potatoes together in one place. We thought, doesn't that defeat the purpose of bringing our own reusable totes?

(The answer is yes, folks. YES, it does!)


Our reusable produce bags are made from unbleached muslin, sturdy enough to handle a load of onions, yet light enough not to tip the scale in the store's favor. Each bag weighs only 1.25 ounces! We've added a drawstring at the top of each bag, so you can cinch it up closed so you don't lose your oranges. Each bag is generously oversized - 15 inches long and 13 inches wide, with a 2-inch gusset at the bottom. In addition to being green, we think these are just plain nice bags.

Keep checking back with us for more on our Go Green! line. We have plans to add a water-resistant bag for wet produce, and a rinse-through mesh bag for things like beans and cherries. After we conquer your grocery bag, we'll move on to your lunch sack. Why do you keep spending money on zipper-top plastic bags when you could be using our reusable sandwich bags?

Go Green! items can be found in the "At the Park" section of our shop.

A bubbly good time

Handmade soaps are here! Erin began a bit of a love affair with handcrafted soap about ten years ago, when she was given a couple bars of goat's milk soap as a gift. Ever curious, she wondered how it was one went about making soap. Pioneers made soap two hundred years ago, without fancy manufacturing equipment. Now someone had made this beautiful soap in their kitchen. If they could do it, why couldn't she?

Sunshine soap is a perennial favorite. The scent is bright and mildly citrusy, and we stir in calendula petals for a burst of color.

Our beautifully handcrafted soaps and toiletries are the answer to this question. Handmade soap is naturally gentle and scents are mild as we do not use any chemical fixatives. We are proud to offer nine "regulars" in our soap line: Absolutely Allergic, Apricot Freesia Castile, Buttermilk Lavender Castile, Gentle Me, Lime & Clary Sage, Lemon Kitchen, Oatmeal Milk & Honey, Southern Summer Night, and Sunshine. Erin is always experimenting with new blends and playing with colors, so there will generally be a number of limited edition soaps offered as well. We can also custom-craft a soap for you, if you're looking for a particular scent or formulation that we don't generally carry. Just send us an email to hannahstoybox{at}gmail{dot}com and let us know what you'd prefer. All our soaps are made with 100% vegetable oils; most are vegan, though we do sometimes use milk in our soaps.

Lavender Relaxation bath tea and Buttermilk Lavender Castile soap help you relax and recharge while soothing your skin.

We are also proud to offer handmade tub teas in four complimentary scents: Apricot Freesia, Lavender Relaxation, Oatmeal Milk & Honey, and Sunshine. These tub teas are created with herbs, botanicals, and additives (such as baking soda) specifically to give a spa-like feel to your soak and help you unwind.

Keep checking back with us! We will soon be adding complimentary body powders, lotions, and lip balms.
