When news of a new bundle of joy reaches my ears, when I receive an invitation to a kids birthday party, or when I feel a little gift is deserving for no particular reason, my mind goes into overdrive. What can I buy that is unique, awe inspiring and affordable? The quest for the perfect gift will often consume me for a few days as I scour the Kidstylefile listings for inspiration.  How excited was I to find Green Goat – www.greengoat.com.au – whose compact online shop reveals the cream of the crop in babies and kids gift potentialities.

Recently, on my summer beach holiday, Master R, Miss N and a handful of their cousins experiemented with a box of Gelli Baff Bath Goo. We filled their beach buckets with water and added the contents. The hesitant little hands that finally squelched the contents through fingers was met with squeals of delight. What followed, was squishy squashy fun as their feet had a little go too. It was the perfect reward for excellent behaviour throughout the day, and for me – so easy to clean with a packet of included ‘dissolving powder’.  With four great colours – we chose ‘Magic Swamp Green’ – every child will have a favourite.

Peek-a-Boo Bags are the gift that just keeps on giving. For anyone that travels, this quirky idea is a tactile version of ‘Where’s Wally?’ that is certain to entertain the kids and give you a little time for relaxation (or to find the way on your map).  It is the perfect size to fit in your handbag to be pulled out when boredom strikes, and is made from corduroy fabric on one side and a see-through vinyl window on the other. The attached tag provides a list of all the things you can find inside. It’s on my gift list this year.

Australian-made personalised prints from Minime – available in four great designs – Funky Alphabet, Alphabet, Birth Details and Initial is for…. – are a great option for gifting to parents of a new arrival, and you can’t go past books for an enduring gift.  Green Goat has created Read with Me themed kits such as Find me a Pet and Jungle Adventure.

Green Goat have recently developed a new improved shopping cart and checkout system to make your experience with them even better, and would love you to test it out. As a reward for shopping, Melissa at Green Goat is gifting all KSF who place orders of $50+ a FREE set of Roloblox (rrp $15.95) while stocks last, until 14 February 2010.
