Cocoon Couture – www.cocooncouture.com -  is all about cuddles! This very thing inspired designer Ingrid Daniell to create her initial range, which was quickly embraced by enthusiastic customers and has now developed into an extensive collection of  unique bean bags, totes, backpacks and room accessories.

Late last year I began the search for the perfect bag for Master R to hold his sheet and pillow in for preschool. I wanted something unique, bright (so it wasn’t lost amongst the others) and washable. The Cocoon Couture Kindy Bag was the prefect choice, and I snapped one up! While the pictures of these bags are nice, the bags are even better in real life. Made from a 100% cotton fine pinwale corduroy, they are fully lined in the 100% cotton calico Cocoon Couture signature print and have a printed backing which is also 100% cotton. That’s not to include the awesome appliqué design of your choosing! Choose from Bouncy Bunny, Cheeky Squirrel, Early Bird, Dreamy Owl, Mini Monkey, Mr Whale, Timmy Tiger or items from the Monster Couture range.

We are also a fan of the Cocoon Couture beanbags in this house: kids love a place where they can go and snuggle up and read or watch a spot of telly, and these bean bags are IT!

Of course, I am not alone in my fanship of Cocoon Couture: Ingrid and her team won a Home Beautiful Award for their stunning Enchanted Tree, and Cocoon Couture products are sold all over the world!

Ingrid at Cocoon Couture is giving  KSF readers a virtual cuddle: until 31 March 2010 purchase any bean bag through your favourite Cocoon Couture stockist and receive a FREE Early Bird or Sleepy Owl Library Bag valued at $15.00. Awww! <<<<hug!>>>>

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. To redeem this great gift, just enter ‘KSF’ in the ‘Comments’ section at checkout.

Green Goat also have a wonderful Rewards Program, so you’ll accrue points to receive great discounts on future purchases, and when you subscribe to the Green Goat newsletter (see the Green Goat homepage) you’ll automatically go into the draw to win a $100.00 Green Goat Gift Voucher. If you’re a Facebooker and not already a Fan of Green Goat, then head on over and join the crew: Melissa will be giving away a $100 voucher when fan numbers reach 1,000.

1. MiniMi Birth Details Print $23.00 (Including postage)

Christmas time at our place is all about the boys. We have 3 gorgeous sons aged 8, 6 and nearly 3, so I am always on the look out for stimulating and fun toys that they will love and I will enjoy looking at.

In an effort to get organised I have been cruising the net looking for cool things to cross off the list.

My ‘nearly 3′ seems to be getting more and more active every day so first thing on my list for him is the truly unique Bilibo. Requiring no batteries and no instructions this is an open-ended toy designed to stimulate the imagination and improve motor skills (read Angela’s review of the Bilibo here).

Also on the list is the Oobi Hopper, perfect for bouncing out all the excess energy after lunch, some Pirates for the bath tub, and because he is currently in love with Spot the Dog, a few new Spot books for bedtime.

Mister 6 seems to be easiest to buy for this time, he loves indoor games and is a natural at making his own imaginary games with toys and Lego. This year I have a theme going on and it is all about Knights, Castles, Legends and Chivalry. Hopefully he will enjoy playing in these worlds and maybe one day he will grow up to be a knight in shining armour himself! My favourite finds are this castle these dragon stencils and knights stickers, and these Schleich knight figurines.

My 8 year old is definitely an outdoor kid – he loves sports – and is very into science: he is currently planning to be an ‘insect scientist’ and have his own ‘insect room’ in his future imaginary mansion.

I was recently chatting to a friend who is a Steiner teacher and she was telling me that at around age 8 they start to teach children construction and building things, which helps them gain confidence in their ability to become more independent. With this in mind I am heading off to the hardware store to pick up a tool box with some real tools and everything he needs to build a billy-cart or a box.

Also for my eldest son is this cute Dumpling Dynasty Explorer Kit, and “Blast Lab” Why Don’t Insects Get Fat?‘ – sure to be a winner based on the title alone -  a fact-book-with-insects written by Richard ‘Hamster’ Hammond from Top Gear Fame.

For my gratification our tree will this year be adorned with some new handmade and fair trade Christmas decorations from Lark, and under it will sit some cool vintage inspired Santa Sack from Cocoon Couture to hold all the loot. And because I’m a kid at heart, I’ve selected Eloise: the Ultimate Edition book just for me. Can’t wait to tear it open on the big day…

1. Oobi Hopper, Paperartzi Boutique – $29.95 $28.95
2. Alex Toys’ Pirates in the Tub, Ten Little Indians – $28.95
3. Spot Bakes a Cake, Fishpond Books – $14.99 $13.95
4. Active People Bilibo, Metro Mum – $39.00
5. Djeco Knights Stickers, Where Did You Get That? – $4.95

As a mum of two boys, I’m constantly on the hunt for cool clothing for them.  Until recently, stylish boyswear has been a huge gap in the market, so thank goodness for brands like Munster who make fun, edgy gear for the little men in our lives.

I’m especially pleased today, because I’ve discovered that Raspberry Rascals – www.raspberryrascals.com.au – has just started stocking Munster!  There’s now a select range in store (with more to come in early December), all of it absolutely perfect for an Australian summer with the collection including boardies, funky tees, hats and more.

Also new at Raspberry Rascals is the ever-gorgeous Cocoon Couture, complete with beanbags, santa sacks, bags and wall art. I think the Cocoon Couture beanbags are the perfect present for any child; who doesn’t love beanbags after all?  It’s a comfy spot to sit and read a book or chat with a sibling or friend, and best of all, these beanbags look so beautiful there’s no way you’ll want to pack them off to the kid’s room at the end of the day!

I also am particularly taken with the Cocoon Couture wall art.  It has a unique Scandinavian feel to it, pleasantly woodsy with happy little critters featured. They’re a lovely way to add character to any nursery or child’s room, and with the array of animals, the only difficult part will be choosing which ones!

To make your decision easier Di at Raspberry Rascals is offering KSF readers 20% off store-wide. This is fantastic news for wallets all across the country: save money while you put some seriously hip presents under that tree. Shop in the RR Sale section and scoop yourself up to 70% off using your trusty code, which is ‘KSFXMAS20′, until 30 November 2009.

Goodness gracious me, I just can’t keep up with all the happenings at Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au. Just when I think Terri can’t possibly squeeze another brand into her extensive list (there are already over 90 labels represented at her store!) I blink and suddenly Mon*star Kids, Tiger Tribe and adorable Aussie baby shoe brand Old Soles have appeared!

Not only are there those three new brands instore, but also a whole host of stunning new products from existing labels as well.  You can’t miss the hairclips from Giddy Giddy, new shoes from Walnut, tees from BLiNK design (see below for the Tie Print tee, I’m coveting it for my boys), sweet little charms from Cocoon Couture, and a new shipment from Bluebird & Honey.

The Christmas section has also been freshly stocked with all sorts of festive goodies sure to get you in the mood for the silly season, including Cocoon Couture santa sacks, ForWalls decals and Lark & Friends knitted Christmas tree decorations.

There’s a great competition running at Little Styles for the month of November. To enter all you need to do is be a newsletter subscriber and share the opportunity to subscribe with your friends – that’s it!  And just by doing that you could win a $300 Little Styles shopping spree! Once your friends’ email addresses have been submitted you automatically go into the draw.  The winner will be announced at the end of the month and published in the newsletter.

Just as exciting is the promotion Terri is running: For five days only KidStyleFile readers can take 15% off store-wide!  The code is ‘novfun’ and it expires at midnight on 15 November 2009. Do take advantage of it, as store-wide discounts certainly aren’t the norm at this time of year.

With over 1800 products to choose from there really is something for everyone at Little Styles.  Don’t forget about the FREE giftwrapping, flat rate overnight delivery – FREE with purchases over $150 – and the no fuss exchanges and refunds
