What kind of gifts do you love to give?
Families all have their traditions and ways of doing things at Christmas… including gifts. Some families carefully search out a special something for everyone, or pick names and have a spending limit, some have a themed gift exchange with specific stealing rules, other’s try to win the award for the ‘crying gift’ (giving the gift that is so touching, it makes the recipient cry)… the traditions are endless. No matter your tradition… its time to start thinking about it.
You may not have thought about Norwex when you were making your gift list… but Norwex products make a perfect gift. We all have stuff to take care of and clean… Norwex is in the business of offering superior products that help us take care of what we own in a way that preserves it lifespan and cares for the environment at the same time. Norwex also offers amazing personal care products that are gentle, effective and protective of our skin without any chemicals. Don’t those sound like things people should put on their Christmas list?!
Holiday Helper Specials
This package makes a perfect gift for those who love their vehicle. It includes a Car Cloth that is made of tightly woven microfiber that works with water to leave your vehicle streak free, shiny, without a scratch. The Car Vent Clips and Essential Oils are designed to replace artificial, chemical-laden car fresheners with natural essential oils. The Purifying Blend has a warm and inviting scent of spicy cinnamon, cloves, sweet orange, eucalyptus and a hint of rosemary. Just place a drop or two on the ceramic Car Vent Clip and enjoy. This gift will remove the need for chemicals car cleaners (that often get into our waterways) and chemical car fresheners (which get inhaled by the ones we love).
Towels for Christmas??? Absolutely! This beautiful Grey Chevron Towel Set is even better than the fluffy ones you get in the spa. They are thicker than the regular Norwex towels which means they are even softer and more absorbent (can you believe it?). Norwex towels are made from microfiber containing the self-purifying properties of their Baclock™ agent. This allows you to launder them less often… doesn’t that sound like a luxurious gift?
This gift set is perfect for those who are looking for environmentally-friendly solutions for their kitchen. The Square Bakeware Silicone Lid (9″ x 9″) is made of food-grade silicone and is perfect for covering baked goods (not only to keep them fresh, but also make them easily accessible 🙂 ). The Eggplant Chenille Hand Towel is perfect for those days spent baking or cooking Christmas dinner when you are constantly washing your hands. It is made of super-absorbent, nubby chenille microfiber and has Baclock™ agent to self-purify. The FREE Steel Grey EnviroCloth (Yup, free!) will beautifully maintain your counters as you prepare for Christmas, leaving them streak- and bacteria-free.
Did you know that? Every piece of plastic every created, will be on this earth forever. Mahatma Ghani said, “be the change that you wish to see in the world.” So with that in mind, I asked my team of consultants what their favourite Norwex product was and why. I was excited to see that the Bakeware Silicone Lids were one of the favourites… “Definitely the silicone lids (round and bakeware). They have cut down so much on our use of plastic wrap and tin foil” ~ Stephanie Jones. “My second favourite is the Silicone Lids. I don’t use tin foil when I bake anymore” ~ Shauna Wing. “Silicone lids and snack bags (no longer available). We use so much less plastic wrap and baggies!” ~ Nickey Heidebrecht. I love how making small changes in how we do life, can really impact the environment and our health!
Best Gifts Ever
Christmas is a wonderful time of giving! But sometimes we forget that even the decisions we make at Christmas, even though our hearts are in the right place, do affect the environment and our health. This year, consider how you can bless those you love by considering how your gifts impact the health of the environment and health of your loved one.
Has your family ever done a Green Christmas? Have you ever considered giving untraditional gifts that aren’t made of plastic and require batteries?? Have you ever thought about giving the gift of time or adventure instead of material things?

Do you love a clean car? Isn’t it the best when it is all shiny like new?
Did you know that with a clean car comes some costs to our environment?
First, there are so many products available for the care and cleaning of vehicles. From soaps, to shammies, to scrubbies, to dashboard cleaners, to window cleaners, to tire shiners, to chrome cleaners… the list goes on. These are full of chemicals that eventually make their way to our rivers, streams, soil and even drinking water. Did you know that any water (or chemicals) that get dumped down the street drain, do not go through the water sewage treatment plant? It is assumed that run off is just rainwater or melted snow and therefore does not require any “treatment”. This untreated water gets dumped into our rivers and the chemicals make it into our drinking water system.
Second, car washes and even washing your car at home requires gallons and gallons of water to get your car clean.
Norwex has a short list of items for the big job of keeping your ‘baby’ looking her best!
Car Wash Mitt
Car Cloth
Leather Shine
1. The Car Wash Mitt is an amazing 2-sided cleaning mitt, with nubby chenille microfiber on one side and sponge layer microfiber on the other. The thick, plush, super-absorbent fibers hold the dirt away to reduce any scratching and give you a cleaner result. The fibres in the mitt are actually microfiber and therefore have a larger surface area for cleaning.
Always start cleaning the top of the vehicle and work your way down as it gets dirtier as we get closer to the road. Wet the mitt with water and wring it out well. The mitt only requires water, therefore is no residual chemicals left behind on your vehicle or leaching into the environment. Usually one bucket of water – unless you have been 4x4ing through the backcountry (you would need an extra bucket or two) – and this mitt will clean your whole vehicle!
Tip: This Car Wash Mitt can handle all sorts of grime. So don’t forget to wash your oily wheel rims and tires too.
2. The Car Cloth is used in conjunction with the Car Wash Mitt. This microfiber cloth has extremely fine fibers that are tightly woven together to prevent the cloth from holding dirt that could scratch your vehicle. It works similar to the window cloth accept that it is designed with a car’s dirt in mind. It quickly dries and perfectly polishes your entire car, including: windows, mirrors, glass, chrome and other smooth surfaces without leaving a scratch.
Tip: Wash your car in smallish sections. First clean the surface of your car with the mitt and follow by polishing your car with the cloth before the water evaporates. If your car dries quickly, use a spray of water to enhance the power of the polishing Car Cloth.
Tip: Make the Car Cloth slightly damp to create streak-free windows, mirrors & chrome.
3. The Leather Shine is for dressing your tires and polishing leather. It is made with pure Bee and Carnauba Wax, is chemical-free and is perfect for making your tires shiny & black. Ensure that you have cleaned the tires well using the Car Wash Mitt and then using the black side of the sponge applicator wipe the black wall of each tire. They will look like new!
4. Don’t forget to clean the surfaces inside of your vehicle. After drying and polishing the outside your vehicle, the the Car Cloth will also a great job wiping down the dashboard, the console, the odometer, the stereo, the leather seats and the chrome surfaces inside. Make sure your cloth is well-wrung to ensure a streak-free clean. And don’t forget to wipe down your steering wheel… it harbours lots of bacteria from our hands.
I know that there are lots of Dads out there who love a car clean and are impossible to shop for! Maybe this could be the greatest Father’s day gift yet. Dads are often hard to shop for, but this June, you could get him something he will actually use. The Norwex car wash products will let him keep his car clean without negatively affecting the environment… and at a fraction of the cost. These cloths are also excellent for washing your favourite toys including; sea doos, snowmobiles, boats, ATVs etc…
I gave my dad a Car Cloth as a gift. He was super skeptical of Norwex to start. He said he decided he would give his car a routine clean, but was still using the ‘other stuff’. He had sprayed something greasy that splattered on the driver’s side window. He tried windex and paper towel to start – but it made a bigger mess. Then he tried just the Car Cloth and water – it worked like charm. Grease free. Streak free. Point for Norwex!!!” ~ Kathrine VanWeerthuizen
The Car Wash Mitt worked great on our snowmobiles. They got covered in salt and muck from the messy roads and looked like a huge job to wash them up and get the salt off.
I took a pail of hot water and the Norwex car wash mitt and it took everything off super easy. I was impressed how easy everything came off the machines so easy without soap or high pressure washing. Would definitely recommend it for washing your car. ~ Dawna Kroeker
Keeping your car clean is a worth-while investment to maintain the exterior & interior of your car!!! Norwex’s car washing products are fantastic! They help you maintain your vehicle that without hurting the environment by using cleaning chemicals & gallons of water and they save you money & time by not having to go to the car wash. Sounds like a pretty awesome father’s day gift!!!
