A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh books were quite popular in my house when I was growing up, and I have just introduced them to Master R who has been utterly consumed by Pooh’s antics (who can forget him rolling in mud to disguise himself as a dark rain cloud!).

One of the most vivid characters that comes to mind when I think of the series is Owl. He is the smart one, who always has some great advice for his friends. Multiply these attributes by three and you have Three Little Owls – www.threelittleowls.com.au: they have thought of everything a  mummy could want – just in time for Christmas!

I’m a sucker for bags. I love the smell of new leather and LBB (‘Life Before Babies’) often consisted of weekend shopping trips to find the perfect evening clutch. These days, bags not only need to look good for me to consider them, but need to be highly functional.

Storksak bags fit the bill perfectly, and Three Little Owls have just received shipment of new styles. My favourites are the Elizabeth Nappy Bag in Tan, (it has all the typical nappy bag features – thermo-insulated bottle holder; change mat, individual compartments – but it also fits a laptop!! Perfect for us working mothers) and the new Storksak Suzi Bag, which delivers style and substance at a great price.

Does hubby want something a little more blokey? Something his mates won’t even pick for a nappy bag? He could follow Brad Pitt’s lead and try Storksak’s Jamie nappy bag or try the ultracool  DadGear series which Brad also swings between. These bags have an ultra hip ‘hands free feature’ which means you can feed, play and change the baby without ever having to put the bag down.

If I could have the ultimate wish (besides world peace, ongoing good health and a zillion dollars) this Christmas, at the top of my list would be the eradication of stretch marks and my caesar scar. (I know, I know, they are the road maps of my experiences, but still…) I have fallen in love with the Mama Mio Goodbye Stretch Marks, which aim to minimise the marks. For mums-to-be, they also have Mama Mio Tummy Rub Oil, which can help prevent them to begin with! Thank you Three Little Owls!

This summer I aim to begin the toilet training journey with Miss N.  I searched and searched for training pants for Master R only a year or two ago, and I am delighted that Three Little Owls has introduced Imse Vimse to their catelogue which includes some gorgeous farm and zoo training pants. 100% organic cotton and certain not to let your wee ones (LOL) outer garments get wet, these are perfect for assisting you reach that next milestone.

On the fashion front Three Little Owls have just uploaded Keiki Designs‘ bibs, bloomers, shorts and singlets: the perfect attire for babies and toddlers this summer.

So, does anyone know how you get a job as one of Santa’s elves? Because I think that is one gig I could really get into to! And if I could create my own position, it would Chief-of-Ideas Elf!  I’d have to keep it on the hush-hush from dear old Santa, but one of the first spots I would be going to collect ideas would be 5 Little Monkeys – www.5littlemonkeys.com.au!

First stop for ideas is fashion (of course!). 5 Little Monkeys stock clothing for girls in sizes 000-12, and sizes 000-16 for boys from fantastic brands including: Ouch Clothing, Miatom, Oobi, Baobab, Wilkie, Nurtured by Nature, Two Belles, Tommy Rocket, Three Little Trees and run Scotty run just to name a few.

But what gets this little elf all excited, are the fantastic range of products to be found in the pages titled Gifts and Fun and Accessories! So many delightful ideas to be found in here like the button necklaces from Spotted Giraffe, or a drink flask or two from Alex & Charli.

Children, art and craft are three things that are just meant to go together. So, next ideas to note down are from the fabulous brand Spencil proudly stocked by 5 Little Monkeys, for all things arty and crafty.  And then I would happily add one of everything from the range from Tiger Tribe - just to be sure I wasn’t missing out on any of their fantastic ideas.

There are also lots and lots of goodies to be found under $10, making 5 Little Monkeys a one stop shop for filling Christmas stockings this year. Don’t have a stocking? Pick up the perfect one at 5LM in the form of Cocoon Couture’s White Tweet Christmas Sack!

Looking for great, affordable Easter options? Chez and the team at Pastel Pink – www.pastelpink.com.au – has it all wrapped up for you.

Start with an empty Envirosax Kids Bag (new designs just in: I’m loving Marshmallow), or one of the gorgeous new season’s Cocoon Couture library bags which now come with beautiful vintage backing fabrics — try Patchy Bunny, Dreamy Owl, and Cheeky Squirrel for girls, and Mr Whale and Timmy Tiger for boys — or scoop one of last season’s bags at 20% off!!

If you have a little bub, stock your baggie with an Alimrose Designs Bunny and booties, or a super-snuggly Gertie and Me Bunny. For older kids, the Patchy Bunny or Bouncy Bunny Bean Cocoon Couture bean bags are a special Easter treat that will go on.

Top up the bags with a toy or two from Pastel Pink’s lovely little selection – many of the toys are on sale, making this a very easy option for Easter bliss. Place a large choc bunny and egg from your fave grocery store in the bag, and – voila! – you are all done, with time to spare!

There is something so lovely and tactile about good quality toys made of timber and cloth.

The weight and finish of wood is so satisfying to hold, and the cosy-ness of a little friend made of cloth is such a comfort and a joy, no matter what your age.

Both these experiences offer such a richness that plastic finds hard to replicate.

In looking around for some affordable Christmas gifts and stocking fillers for you, I came across a nice little selection at Pastel Pink – www.pastelpink.com.au.

To make things even sweeter Pastel Pink currently have 20% off sale on all toys, and selected accessories including Cocoon Couture Kinder Bags, Kiddy Sac Swim Bags and Wall Pockets, Little Chipipi magnets and wall stickers, and Forwalls wall stickers.

Christmas Gift Wrapping is FREE, and trust me, you do not want to miss Pastel Pink’s wrapping! To claim, just mention that you’d like it in the comments box.

In the softies department the Gertie and Me Ekidna calls out to me (and Princess Mary too, I believe!) with it’s affable demeanor, and grabbable snout.

Another celebrity fave (hello, Sarah Jessica Parker!) is the Flat OUT bears. A clever Australian innovation involving sheepskin laid flat and bearified, it comes in two sizes: big bear, and baby bear, both equally lovable.

Alimrose handsqueakers are one of my all time favourite toys for little babies. The sound that these produce induce instant giggles, and can be invoked by the smallest hands. The new knitted toys from Alimrose in bunny and elephant designs are just gorgeous, and very giftably priced. They are sure to be much loved by every tot that receives them this Christmas.

3. Orders of over $150 get FREE SHIPPING!

4. If you’re after Huggalugs, Cheryl is giving you the choice of whether to use the 25% discount or to take advantage of the Huggalugs special offer: buy two, get the third pair FREE!

5. And if you make a purchase and fill out a brief survey, Cheryl will send you a FREE copy of the latest My Child magazine! Follow the link to the survey on Pastel Pink’s homepage, it’s easy.

All of that is guaranteed to have you champing at the bit. Here are some of my fave finds to inspire you further.

I love the Alimrose bibs and squeakers – they’re absolutely perfect as gifts for a new baby or for a baby shower with their sweet designs and lovely fabrics.

There are some brilliant discounts across the range of Gaia Organic Cotton. Mums of boys, check out the Gaia print range – cute, and at these prices, incredible value!!

The Hess-Spielzeug money boxes are a prime choice to snap up now at cheap-as-chips prices and put away for Christmas. Adorable, beautifully made and a neat idea for encouraging kids to save their coins for something special.

Little Chipipi have added to their range of wall stickers with some fantastic new designs! They also come in brand new Little Chipipi gift boxes. See the range here.

Have a look at the already-heavily-discounted range of Mitsy handbags and the Elk necklaces. Something to suit everyone’s taste here, especially at these prices!

New at Pastel Pink are the Aden + Anais wraps and lightweight blankets (I can recommend the wraps, at 120×120 they’re big enough to wrap even the wriggliest baby!), the ever-popular Cocoon Couture and Kiddysac – and don’t forget that you can take 25% off all of this for the next seven days!
