Christmas 2011: KidStyleFile’s Top 20 Gifts for Babies & Kids {Under $25}

Posted: November 19th, 2011

Post written by Miki

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

Besides your own, how many other kids do you need to buy gifts for this Christmas?  Nieces, nephews, God-children, step-children, friends’ and neighbours’ kids, your child’s class Kris Kringle… it all adds up pretty quickly, doesn’t it?

The good news is that there are loads of amazing gifts out there for under $25, meaning you can stay within budget and delight the recipient at the same time. These are also the kinds of presents I like to put under the tree for my own kids; after all, not every gift they receive needs to be huge and expensive.  I sometimes find that they get just as much fun from a $15 bath toy as from something costing ten times more!

I’ve put my top 20 gifts under $25 below, but do have a hunt through the online stores to find other options. Many of KidStyleFile’s favourite boutiques have fabulous categories set up specifically for inexpensive gifts, such as Little Styles (with 11 pages worth!), Dragonfly Toys, Baby’s Got Style, French Bazaar and Design Child among others.

I hope that helps with keeping your Christmas budget balanced, and the special kids in your life overjoyed – good luck!

Babes In Arms Reduces The Prices Of BabyLegs: Up To 60% Off With Prices Starting From A Teeny Tiny $6!

Posted: August 30th, 2011

Written by Leah

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Spring arrives this week, and with it comes a whole new season of gorgeous breezy light fashion garments. BabyLegs are  perfect to partner with spring fashion to keep the early morning chill at bay, and then easy-off when the midday sun shines. One of my all time favourite fashion accessories, I think this awesome little innovation has a plethora of uses: protecting little knees when learning to crawl; easy night changes; perfect with shorts in the morning (simply remove when the temperature rises); the perfect toilet training tool….the list goes on.

Most recently, BabyLegs released the new Newborn range of BabyLegs. Newborn BabyLegs are  made with organic cotton and are latex-free. Smaller in size than the standard BabyLegs, these little gems are perfect for little legs and extremely convenient for quick changes – no need to remove everything! I’m undecided about my favourite as I am having an issue choosing between Lil’ Citrus Dot Organic or Lil’ Rainbow Organic BabyLegs.

Do you have a twirling little ballerina? If so, she’ll just love the criss-cross ribbon design of the Ballerina BabyLegs. Or if your little miss is more of a disco diva – these ones have her name all over them. Boys don’t miss out either, with fire engines, trains, and police cars among the many styles that are sure to catch their eye.

Right now Babes in Arms – www.babesinarms.com.au – is making way for the new season with up to 60% off a range of Newborn and Standard BabyLegs. The perfect stocking fillers for Christmas or baby shower gifts, BabyLegs keep legs (and arms) snuggly warm and fashionably hip. Prices are as marked starting from a low $6.00, while stocks last only until 21 September 2011. Spend over $50.00 to be eligible for $5.00 Express Postage across Australia.

Watch out for the new Spring Collection of BabyLegs that are arriving any moment. See them here first.

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

Be prepared…I am about to do one of those proud mummy outbursts where I proclaim how smart, wonderful and truly talented my daughter has become. Oh yes people, I am bursting with mummy excitement because my little darling has mastered toilet training without any help other than a few no nappy days and a few sets of BabyLegs from Babes In Arms – www.babesinarms.com.au. BabyLegs are ingenious inventions that have continued to move me through some of the most difficult milestones of both baby and toddlerhood including refusal to wear jumpers in winter (add BabyLegs under long-sleeve tees for added warmth); toilet training (no need to fumble with pants or tights); early morning nappy changes (no need to remove any clothing); unforseen cold nights (add a layer with BabyLegs to prevent waking bub) and so many more.

You can march into Autumn with an exciting new range of BabyLegs including the *new* NEWBORN collection. As you might expect, the NEWBORN range is a miniature version of the standard ‘toddler to teen’ range that has been created especially for new born babies. Created in the softest organic cotton, with seven cuter-than-cute designs for boys and girls, and priced at just $12.95, they make the perfect gift and addition to ever newborn baby’s wardrobe.

Babes in Arms are offering all KSF readers a super do0per deal to help you prepare for winter and make those night changes easy peasy. Take 15% off the entire BabyLegs range (*excluding already reduced stock) by entering discount code KSFFEB11 at checkout until 23 March 2011. Want more? Spend $50+  and you’ll automatically receive FREE postage, Australia-wide. Move as fast as your legs will carry you to this fabbo deal!

Boys Rock! A Rock ‘n’ Roll Roundup

Posted: October 14th, 2010

Post written by Leah

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

To be honest, I’ve never really been as experimental with Master R’s wardrobe as I am with both my own and Miss N’s. I haven’t thought through boys accessories or taking risks. He’s a bit of a trackie pants and tee kind of boy, so I’ve been reluctant to change that winning formula.

But, you know what? After finding and falling in love with the The Hipster Mom, aka Samantha Moeller, I’ve realised that my personal fashion philosophy of simply adding a few statement pieces to your staple wardrobe will work just as perfectly for my little man; the formula is think through purchases and work out what you’re channeling: boho, rocker boy; preppie etc.  Using Samantha’s little boy, Fritz, as inspiration I have searched for a collection of ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll’ pieces that will make dressing your boy a whole heap of fun. Don’t forget to always let your little one’s own style flow through – the outcome is always impressive!
