“Mashala Baby Organics” Complete Infant Massage Kit Giveaway
Whether you have a baby, are expecting one soon, or know someone who is, Mashala Baby Organics has the perfect gift for you. I’ve been checking out their Organic Tradition Complete Infant Massage Set. Massage is an ancient form of baby relaxation and health that moms all over the world have been relying on for as long as they’ve had babies! Baby massage is used to soothe the newborn, relieve colic, heal dry skin on babies of any age, help babies sleep, or clear a stuffy nose or chest. The benefits are endless, but the biggest benefit is the bond that is built between mother and child as they spend a few quiet moments together.
Mashala Baby Organics is an impressive Canadian company that has quite a story behind it. It’s the merging of two sides of a family, both putting an importance on natural care for generations. The recipes, passed down from great grandmother to grandmother to mother to daughter, are the backbone of Mashala Baby Organics. Equally impressive are their all-natural organic products, which feature ingredients such as olive oil, holy basil (a favorite from my Old World roots as well), and chamomile.
The Organic Tradition Complete Infant Massage Set is certainly complete! It includes a 100% organic cotton infant massage pad, a muslin bag filled with four different massage oils, a special sign for baby’s bedroom door to let people know “Shhh! Baby Massage in Progress”, and a beautiful wooden bucket to store the massage oils in. I love the oils - they’re not strongly scented, which is very important for a small baby. Even the Gentle Vapor oil is mild; just enough for baby. This set is a $55 value, and I guarantee any mother who receives this one will be very pleased with it. It comes with full instructions on how to do an infant massage too, so mom isn’t left wondering how it all works.
Ready to enter? I thought so! Let’s get to it. In the meantime if you’d rather just go shopping, you can get a 40% off coupon (wow!) from Mashala Baby Organics. Simply sign up for their newsletter on their home page (left column), and they’ll send you a coupon code.

I found these ORGANIC START™ Baby massage oils set and read all about the baby massage and oils
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:06 am
The ORGANIC START™ Baby massage oils set would be a great gift for the next baby shower I attend. Thanks for pointing me in this direction!

MASHALA BABY ORGANICS™ got its name from the congratulatory blessing -”Mashala!”- exclaimed (with a spit) in her Greek Macedonian tradition by grandparents and elders upon the birth of a child and to express satisfaction with a child’s growth and acheivements. In fact, this exact blessing is used widely throughout areas and across cultures where ancient civilizations once flourished.

And I bet they smell wonderful!
Thank you!

I really like that they focus on just one thing–baby massage. A lot of companies have their hands in everything but don’t do one of those things really well. This massage set is wonderful. What a great gift for new parents. And honestly, $55 is not that much for all of the stuff that comes with the set (plus that 40% off coupon…wow!).
I really like that they are adding appropriate mood music to their store. It goes well with the theme They should add a few book suggestions too, even if they are just linked into Amazon. I’d love to try the Calm and Comfort oil. Thanks for sharing this find.

My sister is expecting next month and He will be my Godchild, I think this is the perfect gift to give to a NewBorn Child.
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:14 pm
I think that it’s amazing that these are good for any age. I have dry skin and unfortunately passed that down to my newborn. It sounds great that we could both use this for our dry skin. I also thought that it was very interesting that you could use it for when the baby has fluid in their ears. It has so many uses. I’m just amazed!
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:33 pm
I think Mommy needs a baby massage with the organic blessing baby massage gift set. I’ll have to get the pillow too and leave it outside my door. Baby massage going on.

I love giving my little guy massages! Right after bath time we do it, then he gets put down for the night. He knows it’s part of the routine, and he really enjoys it too. I think this is such a great company! I always worry what I’m putting on him and strive to make his world as organic as possible, I also like that they are nut free - I like to keep his exposure to possible allergenics to a minimum until he is much older. The organic start baby masage oils set would be perfect for us! Thank you!

i like the Checkered wood massage oil barrel, much nicer than the bowl I use
September 2nd, 2008 at 5:02 pm
I love this site! My daughter has very sensitive skin and I love the fact that the products are dye-free, hypoallergenic, etc. You hear so much in parenting mags about baby massage, but not where to find good products for it. Kudos for the find!
September 2nd, 2008 at 5:14 pm
This is a great way to bond with baby. I like that massage instructions are included.
September 2nd, 2008 at 5:56 pm
I like that they do not use artificial fragrance or preservatives. This would be perfect for either of my DILs….one gave birth last month and the other is expecting her first child. They would both appreciate this wonderful gift. Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!

I love how the “MASHALA BABY ORGANICS™ • CALM & COMFORT™ baby oil” is helpful for colicky babies . . . what a lovely thought, for a natural remedy for such a common malady!

I found it very interesting that these products contain no artificial fragrances, dyes or preservatives, no mineral oil, it is hypoallergenic, and no nut oil. These seem to be really great healthy products, and I would love to be able to try them on my little one.

there are a lot of broken links on the website, and I’d hate for anyone to be too distracted by that to notice how awesome the company really is.

September 3rd, 2008 at 2:10 pm
baby massage oil • GENTLE VAPOR™ sounds great!
September 3rd, 2008 at 2:32 pm
I love the sound of the Gentle Vapor massage oil. When my daughter was a month old she came down with a cold that kept both of us up all night. We sat in the bathroom with the water on hot, so it would steam up the room, for 30 minutes at a time. This would have been a lifesaver!
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:06 pm
“Music has the same effect on babies as it does on adults” - It’s good to know that calming music might be able to help a child settle down.
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:48 pm
I like the complete FAQ they provide on infant massage. It’s certainly eye-opening for me, since I’ve never tried it before, but it looks like a great idea! Thanks!
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:49 pm
i like the infant massage pad
September 3rd, 2008 at 5:28 pm
The best thing is that their products are made using no preservatives, or artifical colours!! Lucky babies!!
Thanks, this would make a great gift for my daughter!
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:23 pm

September 3rd, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Thanks for the site. I’ve been looking for organic baby stuff! Im glad that these are made from natural oils. I dont want to put any chemicals on or next to my baby’s skin.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:30 pm
This is great! I’ve used basic lotion for my baby, but I would love to “upgrade” for baby #2.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:47 pm
I love that they don’t have nut oils in them! That’s a huge seling point to me. Very cool.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:04 pm
I had not heard of this company or these products. I like the fact that they are HYPOALLERGENIC with no mineral nor nut oil. I massaged my children when they were babies and it was very soothing for all of us. I would like to try these products with the grandchildren. very nice
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:49 pm
sounds like great products. i like that they are frag. free.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:50 pm

September 4th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
no preservatives in their products!
September 4th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
I thought that you would have to wait a bit to start massaging an infant, but I learned differently from reading the FAQ. I would love to try this on the new little one who is coming our way in December!!

I learned “that massage nurtures babies’ psychological, physiological, and developmental growth. It fosters healthy self-esteem and increases bonding between parents and their babies. It helps to calm baby and ease muscle pain or pain caused by teething. Most importantly, it is an opportunity to focus your undivided nurturing attention on your baby and show him/her how loved they are.” I found that interesting because I always thought that massages felt good and all but had no idea that they helped with babies’ growth and development. Thanks for the giveaway!
September 4th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
LOVE the Checkered wood massage oil barrel. What a beautiful thing to put the oils in!! FUN!
Pattis last blog post..NO they didn’t…
September 4th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I know that baby massage helped the parent-child bond. I knew that it could reduce pain and stress. But according the FAQ, research also shows that it helps to foster healthy self-esteem. How wonderful to know that there is another long-term benefit to such an immediately calming experience!
September 4th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
These products are mineral oil and nut oil free. They are also 100% natural and have no artificail fragrances, preservatives or dyes. This means that they are safe to use even on newborns which will help develop the initial bond between baby and caregiver!
September 4th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
i didn’t know that massage nurtures a baby’s psychological growth

September 4th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
I like that everything is natural and that these products make it EASY to do infant massage
Think my hubby could use it on me too?! 
September 4th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
No nut oils are used. great beacause, even when my baby was young, we used everything organic but he still kept getting rashes/ excma. We took him to a apecialist and found out he had a nut allergy, organic or not.
September 4th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
The organic ingreadients are USDA certified, not many products in the US are. - they just say organic, but with no certification. I’d use them for my self, let alone my babba.
September 4th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
NO artificial dyes, preservatives, no nut oils - everything we put on our skin gets absorbed by us into our blood stream. Thats the principles behind aromatherapy massage. - All natural and organic is the best way to go with babies.
Even top brand gentle baby products are loaded with sodium laurel sulfate. - whats good for a baby about chemicals? - the environment we live in is toxic enough.
September 4th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
I appreciate how your products contain no artificial fragrances, dyes or preservatives, no mineral oil, it is hypoallergenic, and no nut oil.
September 4th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
I love that they are 100% natural. What could be better for baby??? I am already a subscriber.
September 4th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
This caught my attention as we have a really new little one and these would be perfect for her! Some of the products I liked there were Calm and Comfort Oil and I also saw their Angel Figurine! I will definitely be checking some more of their items out.

I have a beautiful 4 month old daughter so I was curious to learn about these products today. As I was browsing around the website at all the fabulous products I found the Baby Massage Oil • CALM & COMFORT which sounded really great for my daughter. It sounds like a wonderful way to get your baby to relax, feel comfortable and loved, and also a great bonding activity!
September 5th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
i loved the ORGANIC START™ Baby massage oils set
September 5th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
I was surprised at this who concept. I knew about backrubs but the entire set is new to me.
September 5th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
I thought this was interesting: “The NEWBORN baby massage oil is extra mild and great for sensitive skin or dry patches at any stage in life. A rich blend of natural coconut oil (a hypoallergenic seed oil, not nut)derivatives and certified organic olive oil, this odourless blend comes in handy beyond the newborn stage of life during times when Mom wants an aroma-free nourishing oil for baby. Also great for use as ear drops (oil to clean ears). “
September 5th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I like the daily massage oil and the calm and comfort one too. I like that it could be used for the whole family and would be great during the winter months.
September 5th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
I am a subscriber, but I love the mentholated massage oils….perfect for a new baby with a cold, or a toddler with seasonal allergies.
My two year old still loves massages before he goes to bed.
September 5th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
I love the idea of baby massage–after all, babies deserve relaxation too. What I found particularly interesting is that they say you can begin massage on newborns if you use the right natural products free of fragrances and dyes!
September 5th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Can I just say I think this is the first giveaway I have actually drooled over LOL. I think it rocks they plan to carry music for baby massage!
