Gifts4Kidz – ww.gifts4kidz.com.au – has always been a little larger than life. Owners Marina and Sanya simply like to do things BIG: their range is enormous; they stock sizes ranging from birth right up to 14 years (designer tween and teen fashion? Check!); every purchase is beautifully packaged and their current end of season sale is no exception – in fact it’s massive!

Right now, while stocks last, you can take a very large discount of 50% off all kids clothing, sleepwear, swimwear and shoes at Gifts4Kidz.  Head straight to Kids Clothing (as pretty well everything listed in this category is included),  enter the KSF discount code ‘KSF50‘ at checkout until 14 February 2010, and watch with pleasure as your selections are reduced like magic to half the rrp! What did I tell you? Massive!

Have your children grown this summer? Two of my three children celebrated birthdays this month and I’m not sure if it’s all the birthday cake they’ve eaten or  just that I closed my eyes for a second – but oh my, there have been some major growth spurts this summer! Down at the beach yesterday I realised that my boys shorts really are short shorts!! I to need to shop – and fast!

I’m shivering my way through an English winter at the moment.  We’ve had record snowfall, a couple of weeks of temperatures never getting out of the minus figures, heavy frosts, fog, you name it.  But all I need to do to virtually feel the sun on my face and a warm breeze in my hair is look at all the beautiful summer collections in Australia’s best online childrenswear boutiques. It never fails to put a smile on my face and always acts as an antidote to homesickness. One of my very favourite online boutiques to banish my winter blues is 5 Little Monkeys – www.5littlemonkeys.com.au.

Ange at 5 Little Monkeys runs the store from her idylic home in Bremer Bay, Western Australia, and she really understands what makes great summer fashion, and 5LM is absolutely packed full of stunning desginer pieces for babies and kids. Try Ouch, Two Belles, Tommy Rocket and Three Little Trees, Miatom, Oobi, Baobab, Wilkie, Nurtured by Nature, x&y threads, Blissy, Wild Things of Noosa, Redsand, Boxdale, run Scotty run, Mon Tresor, Flirty Bird, Baby Legs, Baobab, Aden & Anais, L’il Fraser, Alex & Charli, Hess-Spielzbeug, Keptin-Jr, Rush, Bobble Art, Walnut Melbourne, Holster Sandals, Cocoon Couture, Ikaboo, Kaboosh, Tiger Tribe, Honky Tonk and Gertie & Me on for size!

To crank up the heat a few notches 5 Little Monkeys are running a hot summer sale with up to 50% off store-wide. To reward KSF readers for being so darn cool, Ange at 5 Little Monkeys is giving us all an additional 10% off! That brings the goodness in at up to 60% off!! Use discount code ‘KSFS10′ at checkout to redeem this offer until it finishes at midnight on 31 January 2010.

While you’re throwing cheap-as-chips bargains into your shopping cart, keep an eye out for all the hot new stock arriving at 5LM too.  For example, the Ouch Baby Denim Pinny (no. 11 below) is a new arrival and it’s the perfect trans-seasonal piece for a baby girl.  Wear it as is on hot summer days, and layer it up for cooler weather, it’ll go with absolutely everything. The new T-Bar Sandals in hip metallics from Walnut are hot to trot too, love ‘em! I also love this very rock n roll tee from Tommy Rocket for boys; too cool for school.

The prices below are valid using the code ‘KSF10′ until 31 January 2010.

a. Three Little Trees Butterfly Dress, $55.95 $35.95 less extra 10% = $32.35

It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas. Case in point: over the weekend, my suburb seemed to suddenly (almost magically) light up with dazzling lights in preparation for -  wait for it  – *24* days time!

You too will light up once you see the great offers at Design Child – www.designchild.com.au.

Design Child have just revealed a great selection of Dwell Studio items for your delight this festive season. The Picture Book Collection, just added to the line which is most famous for its inspiring decor, uses images from their kids fashion lines to tantalise your baby’s every sense. With a farm visit over the holidays, I can’t go past mentioning the Touch and Feel Farm Book which I think is a great introduction to some of the animals we will see.

A piece from the Oobi Summer collection is a must have for Christmas. The gorgeous prints, lacy trims and pretty buttons are sure to glam up your Princess for Santa’s photo, and your funky little dude is sure to look super cool in the cowboy inspired shirts.

There is also a fantastic range of sunhats to protect your kidlets from what is sure to be a glaring bright sun these holidays. A firm favourite of mine are the Bridgette Bardot inspired range, which scream retro glam. Oobi have also branched out to include homewares and soft toys, which all have their distinctive Oobi-licious stamp!

Are you still dropping hints to your partner about possible gifts for you this Christmas? Why not leave the computer open to the iI Tutto range, like me? I’m tossing up between the Artisan Mia Nappy Bag and the Nico Berry Nappy Bag – heck, why choose? I’ll take both, thanks, Santa!

I’ve done nearly all my Christmas shopping now. My parents – check! My inlaws – check! My husband – check! My kids – nope, not yet!  It’s not disorganisation though, it’s strategy: I’ve been waiting for an event just like this one:

Until 7 December 2009, Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au – is offering KidStyleFile readers 15% off store-wide on all orders over $65 (yes, even on the extensive range of Sale Stock already reduced by up to 50%!!!). The code to enter at checkout is ‘xmas’.

Terri at Little Styles has really taken the ball and run with it when it comes to Christmas this year.  She has put together some incredibly helpful ideas, suggestions and categories to make Christmas shopping an absolute breeze.

For example, there’s a very extensive category full of ideas for the perfect Christmas outfit for your little ones.  There’s a wide range of outfits and special occasion pieces in there, ranging from the ultra-adorable Bluebird & Honey Nappy Pant, to pretty Oobi party dresses, to a range of very funky boyswear, plus an awful lot in between.

Also in the Christmas-y theme is a category absolutely bursting at the seams with festive goodies, including stylish wall decals from ForWalls, sweet little felt hair accessories from Flirty Bird, Lark & Friends knitted Christmas decorations and onesies from Annabel Trends, among others.  The extremely popular santa sacks from Cocoon Couture are a given, of course, but they’re selling like hotcakes so snap one up while you still can.

If you need more ideas for gifts, there’s a massive new range of toys from great brands like Sparkle T, Tiger Tribe, Deglingos, Dyles soft playbags & books.  There are also new books and party goodies from Paper Eskimo in the ‘books & stationery’ category.  If you’re on a strict budget,  there’s a truly enormous ‘Gifts Under $25′ category – and when I say enormous, I mean over 300 items!!

As always, Little Styles is offering FREE giftwrapping, next day delivery (which is FREE for orders of over $150), and no fuss returns and exchanges.  There are over 90 brands on offer (more than *1,800* products), all of which adds up to make it a very easy and enjoyable place to shop.

“I said dream..dream…dream a little dre-dre-dream..” plays through my head every time I visit The Little Kidz Closet – www.thelittlekidzcloset.com.au – with their divine collection of delights consisting of designer furniture and decor pieces, as well as fashion and toys

This November there is a plethora of new surprises to revel in at The Little Kidz Closet, from Ruby May Posy Dolls, to new release Walnut shoes, and a whole new organic cotton linen range.

First up, let me introduce you to the new organic kids bedding and linen range IDC Kids. The quilt and sheet sets are made from organic cotton which is the key to allowing your child’s body to breathe freely and not overheat. Organic cotton linen is also recommended for children who suffer from allergies or eczema. All Quilt sets are a 250 thread count organic cotton that is as soft as silk to touch.

I am excited to see a new range of Walnut shoes and accessories hitting the shelves for summer. For many of you, this Melbourne based brand came to your attention over winter when Suri Cruise was photographed in their shoes. They are just delightful! I’m having a hard time deciding between the pink spot and rainbow multi stripe!

Have you seen the latest Zephire Generation collection? Created in Melbourne by the uber-talented Fabio Cattifi, this unique label uses dramatic colours and groovy textures to create both visual and tactile delight. I’m in love with the Shabby Chic pleated blouse and Capri pant set.

The new release cute-as-a-button Ruby May Posy Doll at The Little Kidz Closet, will have little girls queuing up all over the land, so make sure you get your order in now for one of these sweeties for Christmas.

Looking for a decor update to freshen the house for Christmas visitors? Check out the Urban Nest Canvas which start at $29.95 to add that finishing touch to your room design.

Finally I can’t resist sharing my nostalgia over the EcoCocoon cup sets.  As a child, my parents would take us on exhaustingly long Sunday drives (I appreciate the sentiment now that I’m grown up – thanks mum, thanks dad!). What I remember most fondly about these trips, was the pit stop, where once we had hopped out of the car, mum would pull out a cup set much like the EcoCocoon retro set, and give myself and my brothers a drink. The cool cordial made the journey worth it somehow. Unbreakable, durable, health safe and without taint residue, these are a perfect for the glove box.

Lesley at The Little Kidz Closet has some cheery offers for KidStyleFile readers to help you save and smile until 31 December 2009.

1. Take 20% off the price of Walnut shoes at The Little Kidz Closet. As an added bonus, you will also receive a matching Walnut Hair Elastic. Enter KSFHAIR at checkout to redeem.

My… My… My Mini Moda! I’m getting right into the summer swing this weekend, a whole month early. So too is My Mini Moda – www.myminimoda.com - with a Spring/Summer collection that is embracing the blue skies!

My eye was instantly drawn to the Millie Melisse tutu dresses. Oh my! What a gorgeous collection of fanciful fairy, dance and dress-up tutus for your little girl. The Poppi dress really made me ooh and ahh! – it’s just divine!

Millie Melisse dresses are already reduced by 25%, but in the spirit of Christmas Erin at My Mini Moda has reduced them by a further 15% which is a 40% discount overall. Please use the check out code “MILLIE” at checkout to redeem. This discount cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

This month Lyssy May “Little Miss” handbags have been added to Mini Moda’s selection. They are all handmade and so very very cute. My little Miss N has just discovered the wonders of a good handbag, collecting lots of weird and bizarre objects inside mine which I usually find when Im rummaging through it for a pen during a meeting.  I think the Lyssy May Sweet Suzy Girls Handbag, made from dark blue denim and trimmed on the front with a panel of lilac spot fabric and a pink and green grosgrain ribbon will delight her, and prevent her from further mummy handbag trouble.

Poor Master R’s wardrobe is a much neglected mess as I’ve lately swooned over the gorgeous girl ranges for Miss N (check out the Willow and Finn and Elodie & Elvis dresses!), so to balance things out I am making a pointed exercise of checking out all the boys attire and finding items that will make me increase his wardrobe size to match. Mini Moda is just the place to get this started. I am a huge fan of  WOOF! And think the Woof! Check Shirt and Classic Chocolate Check shorts are an adorable set for a New Years BBQ. I’m also much taken with the Walnut Cruise shoes, in particular, their ease of wear – Master R will easily be able to put these on himself.

To make shopping for summer a breeze My Mini Moda has reduced all Spring/Summer clothing by 20%. To top it off all KSF readers will also receive FREE SHIPPING by entering promo code ‘KSF-FS’ at checkout (not available on Millie Melisse outfits). All offers expire at midnight on 30 November 2009, so get in quick!

Discounted prices below are valid with code (read above) until 30 November 2009.

1. Lyssy May Sweet Suzy Girls Handbag $39.90
2. Princess Ratbag Pink With Red Trim Pettiskirt Was $79.95 NOW $64.95

There are stocking fillers and really a little bit of the best of everything on offer at Design Child. It will have you singing “Fa la-la la-laa, la, laa-la laaa” in no time at all!

Today I have window shopped in style via this fabulously stylish Ezine and here are some of the highlights for me:

Stella Cove swimwear is an absolute stand out for girls swimwear this season (I love every pair!). The dresses by mill & mia are super sweet for a Christmas day outfit and for boys, the More 4 Boys organic tees are a top choice -  the Zebra Tee print is my favourite. Or how about a smart shirt like the Neige ‘Arnie’ Shirt?

Design Child also carry a great selection of the ‘create your own’ range from Seedling. What a winner of a gift to inspire creativity and imagination this Christmas! There are some specific for each gender and then others like the The Junior Doctor Kit that your little one will love, boy or girl.
