Mummy’s BIG Favourite: Hurry to save up to 70% - Extended until 31 July!

Posted: July 5th, 2008

Post written by Miki
………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It’s bloody hard work being a mum.

For starters there are no coffee breaks, no lunch break, no sick leave and no pay. You’re on call 24/7, you don’t get annual leave or statutory holidays (if anything they mean even more work!) and there’s a constant niggling worry in the back of your mind that you smell of baby sick. You can’t even go to the loo without a small person bashing on the door and crying because you won’t let them come in with you!

Stands to reason then that mums deserve to be spoiled every so often. And if no-one else spoils them then they should darn well take the initiative and spoil themselves!

Mummy’s Favourite - www.mummysfavourite.com.au - makes it very, very easy to spoil yourself or another mum you know. They have the most beautiful range of luxe, gorgeous products from Alimrose Designs, Mor Cosmetics, Oobi, Anamalz, T2 Teas, Esprit, Pratten, Fish Lilly, Cocoon Couture, Euro Trike, Glass House Candles, Be Genki, Gertie and Me, Noonoo, Willow and Finch, Smirk, Bubbaroo, Laikonik, Milk Wrap, and Whisk and Pin, so you’re guaranteed to find something - a lot of somethings - that you just can’t live without.

What makes it even better is that Mummy’s Favourite have their up-to-60% off mega-sale on! PLUS KidStyleFile readers get an extra 10% off!!

Use the code ‘KSF’ at checkout to claim your extra 10% off until July 5 extended until 31 July.

Hop over there to peruse the fine goods on offer and score huge bargains.

To find the items on sale, look for the titles flanked by pink stars. They’re in virtually every category so go hunting - and don’t forget to take an extra 10% off those amazing prices!

Some items are perfect presents for a brand new or prospective mum, including the milk wrap, $34.95 $31.45 - wish I’d had one of these when I was struggling to learn how to breastfeed in public without flashing everyone! - and the stunningly beautiful individually handcrafted Laikonik ‘Once a Year’ album, $69.00 $62.10. These are such a great idea, all you need is to add a new photo of the child once per year with a brief update so it’s very easy to keep up to date and makes such a lovely record of the child’s growth and development.

And for the mum to toddler/s, what she really needs (besides a few extra hours in the day) is a bit of an indulgence. What about some T2 teas from $7.50 $6.75 - a refreshing and invigorating range of black, herbal and fruit teas which come in very funky signature orange boxes and tins. Or there’s the delicious Glasshouse range with beautiful candles to scent your room, body lotions and potions and divine body bars. What a way to unwind once the kids are in bed!

Speaking of the kids, they aren’t forgotten either. With lines such as the Wheely Bugs, Anamalz, Alimrose toys, Oobi Timorous Beasties, there’s a great range of toys for the munchkins too!

Have a look below at some of my favourites from the amazing range:

KSF Weekend 2 Part Special Feature: Decor and Accessories - Accessorise, darlings!

Posted: May 24th, 2008

This weekend, Miki delves into some of the finest decor and accessory products available for babies, kids and mamas. Today, plan your child’s birthday party, shop for winter footwear, find the perfect present, or indulge in some retail therapy just for you!!

Pop in tomorrow for Part two of this Special Weekend Feature.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Giggle ‘n’ Groove
I have a problem with Giggle ‘n’ Groove www.gigglengroove.com: there’s just too much that I want! And it’s all so perfect for presents too, but how on earth do you give it away?

I’ve yet to meet the little girl who wouldn’t go gaga over the GNG Princess Charm bracelet. It’s so feminine and sweet, and yet not too much, just in the right quantities. Mums don’t miss out either - there’s a fab selection of earrings and other ‘mum’ jewels, and don’t miss the hair section (what I’m really coveting is the ponytail clip pictured below).

And if your boy has yet to discover the manly joys of wearing bling, fear not! G’n’G have name bracelets for boys that are funky and, yes, masculine too. The G ‘n’ G jewels are handcrafted and beautiful quality - see Angela’s post on how much she loves her Giggle ‘n’ Groove purchases.

Great gift ideas, so even (or especially!) if it’s a gift for yourself, go nuts with my blessing ;-) And don’t forget to use the special code in this month’s My Child magazine to receive a free pair of Classic Bows with your order!

Betts Kids
I’m a long-time devotee of Betts Kids www.bettskids.com.au. Almost all my shoes came from then-Betts & Betts when I was little, and now my family is into the second generation to wear Betts kids shoes. Betts Kids have their lovely shiny new website up and running now, so it’s easier than ever to get great quality shoes for little feet.

While my little munchkin is still in pre-walkers, I do love to nosy around the ‘big kids’ section, and there’s plenty to nosy at here, believe me. Actually, don’t believe me - go and look for yourself! There’s a huge range of all sorts of kids shoes; school shoes of course, but also casual and dressy and sporty… not to mention the rather fabulous gumboots pictured below and some very cute slippers too. You’ll never have to wrestle your toddler or child through a shoe fitting in a store ever again!

Betts Kids have FREE SHIPPING AND RETURNS on orders of $69.95 or more until 8 June, and don’t forget to enter their competition to win one of five Little Chipipi wall sticker sets! See here for more details.

Imprintables
If you’re looking for cool stationery then go no further than Imprintables www.imprintables.com.au. For invitations themed for pyjama parties to pool parties, from garden parties to baby showers, there really is something for everyone here, not to mention plenty of stylish generic invitations. My son’s first birthday is coming up and I’m torn between ‘roaring birthday party’ and the vintage-inspired ‘pinwheel’. And have a look at the adorable ‘icecream’ invitation for a little girl’s party!

I also think that the playdate invitations are such a great idea. Playdates are a wonderful way for kids to cement both new friendships and old, not to mention allowing the mums to get to know each other too! There are three different designs and each pack of five includes the invitations, envelopes and seals.

Roaring birthday party invitation and Icecream invitation, $4 per set + $20 set-up fee (set includes invitation, printed envelope and thank you tag)
Paper plane play date invitations and Bobbin stick play date invitations; $15 for a set of five, includes invitations, envelopes and seals.

Mummy’s Favourite
Here’s a site which we have recently discovered at KidStyleFile: the incredibly beautiful Mummy’s Favourite www.mummysfavourite.com.au. I’m going to break with KSF tradition in this segment and show you accessories for gorgeous Mummies rather than kids, because why should the kids get all the good stuff? (Just so you know, though, Mummy’s Favourite do have loads for the littlies, including toys and decor from two of my favourite brands, Oobi and Alimrose - check ‘em out.)

So if you have the post-Mothers Day blues and need a little pick-me-up, browse through the huge range here. Whether you want beauty products to pamper yourself with or an accessory for taking out and about or putting on your desk at work, you won’t be disappointed.
