There’s always so much in store at Ekidna Kids - www.ekidnakids.com.au - that I never know where to begin looking!  Do I start in ‘New Arrivals’ or the enormous specials section?  Do I look at toys for my son or at nappy bags for me?  Where do I go first?  The dilemmas!! The first the that I do is make a cup of tea and sit down for a proper browse so that I can satiate all my kidswear desires. It’s a two-cup session for me today, because…

There are new styles from Bebe to be browsed through, both for baby boys and baby girls.  The little Laura tie-up shoes (pictured below, no. 1) are just too cute for words, and the Hunter print boys range is quite adorable.

If you have a birthday party coming up anytime soonish, make sure you look at the Alannah Rose stationery collection.  They come in packs of 10, include envelopes, and are really, really stylish!  Kids love them, adults covet them, and there’s a fab range of designs for you to choose from.

Word on the street is that the just-landed Tiger Tribe gear is flying out the door at The Hip Infant - www.thehipinfant.com.au.

It’s not hard to see why: the backpacks, drawstring bags and cool new character dolls (mermaid, pirate, astronaut, super hero and fairy) are hot hot hot!

For little babes the Tiger Tribe best-seller is the Hummingbird Mobile.  I also love the Humming Bird Hanging String for a slightly different look.  Either way, your little bub is going to adore gazing up at the sweet little birds above her cot or change table.

Check out the whole Tiger Tribe range here.

For room decor and wall decoration, make sure you have a good look at The Hip Infant’s own range of Wall Graphics.  Classic, striking designs, these are really affordable and look absolutely stunning.  My pick today is the new Love Tree wall graphics, available in pink and blue.  Team the pink Love Tree (1.4m high so it’s a statement piece) with the Tiger Tribe Hummingbird Mobile mentioned above for a stylish and cost-effective little girl’s room.

Other hot products at THI right now are the Aden + Anais muslin wraps.  In fact, The Hip Infant is the only online seller to stock the entire range so you know you’ll be spoiled for choice.  I love these wraps, I think they’re the perfect size for swaddling and they look and feel so beautiful!

The Funtainers by Thermos - the big siblings of the Foogo by Thermos range - are also hot property, and it’s no wonder why! These insulated drink and food containers are boldly patterned with a butterfly print for girls and multi-sports for boys.  The ultimate Hip Infant lunch-wear!

Here’s some names you won’t forget: Haggus and Stookles - www.haggusandstookles.com.au.

Named for the nicknames H&S’s owners, Donna and Andrea’s kids gave to their younger siblings, Haggus and Stookles equip you to handle every outing with your baby or kids, from a trip to the local park, to a multi-country overseas expedition. You will be oh-so-glad you’ve met them: they will absolutely revolutionise and improve your life!

Donna and Andrea joke that Haggus and Stookles began with ‘a poo in the park’: kids needing to go the toilet at a park with no toilets - who hasn’t been caught out that way when toilet training kids?

Donna and Andrea saw a need for good quality and functional products to handle these sorts of situations, and many others, that parents encounter every day whilst experiencing life with kids. They then searched far and wide for the best products to help make your life easier and more enjoyable when you are out and about with the little ones.

With shopping categories like ‘In the car’, ‘For the pram’, ‘Eating out’, ‘Play on the go’,  Naptime, For bums, ‘Packing for travel’, ‘Allergy Traveller’, and ‘For bums’ (my favourite! I’ll tell you why in a minute!), and an incredible range of top quality products from — hope you’re ready! — 4 My Earth, Aden & Anais, Adore-A-View, Alex Toys, Allergy free passports, Amadeus, Annabel Karmel, Baa Baa Blind, Baby Mel, Baby Nation, Baby Sherpa, Baby U, Bags & Boxes, Bazoongi Kids, Bella Tunno, Boo Boo Buddy, Brolly Sheets, Bubbaroo, Dad Gear, Danish by Design, Design Go, Djeco, Dripstik, Drop Buddy, Easyfeed, Ellaroo, Envirotrend, Fit & Fresh, Fridge to Go, Goldbug, Goober Baby, High Road, Hurphy Durphy, Infantino, Irony Homewares, Kaboodle Bags, Kiddysac, KidsAlert, Kindy Kamper, Kozyepi, Lalapanzi, Lollipop Monkey, Longitude 151, Made by Angie, Made by Mums, Medibuddy, Melissa & Doug, Moochie-Moo, Munchee Mug, My Little Seat, myBagTag, Nest, Oobi, Pigeon, Playgro, Pure Wipes, SIGG, Snug as a Bug, Stuffit, Tantrums, The Mummy Hook, Thermos Foogo, Vanchi, and Woobee, you’ll be set and ready for anything!

Ok, so why is ‘For Bums’ my favourite category? Well, it contains the Potette Travel Potty.

This little item has been a life-saver on many occasions I cannot count. One memorable incident where it came in handy was on a plane, just before take-off, when the on-board toilets were closed, and the seat belt lights were one. Cue a little voice from one of my 2 year olds: “Mummy, I need to do a wee”. Never fear, I whipped out my trusty travel potty, with it’s special liner fitted, and saved the day (and the plane seat!)

This little wonder folds flat, is small enought to fit anywhere - a small handbag, for instance, will save your bacon through an array of toilet emergency locations, and is extremely cheap to boot. This is definitely one for you out-with-kids survival kit!

Another great little innovation is the Design Go Mosquito Bite Reliever. Drug free and effective, add it to your first aid kit; it is sure to come in handy over the summer months.

Fit & Fresh lunch boxes are an essential when you’re on the road, or even for school days, as they keep food nice and cool for 6 hours. No more spoiled yoghurt at lunch!

Sleeping is a major issue, whether at home, daycare, or travelling, and Haggus and Stookles has the perfect solutions.

For little babes, you can’t go past super-stylish Lalapanzi Collapsible Moses Basket. For bigger kids, the Kindy Kamper Day Bed is just the thing. Fully featured with bottom blanket, top sheet, pillow and removable top blanket, it rolls up into a portable swag. (Miki reports it goes perfectly in a portacot, and also uses hers for her son at daycare.)

You’ll also need a picnic rug for outdoor expeditions. The super-luxe Woobee Large Blanket is the way to go! With weather-proof backing, and the snuggliest top layer, it’s great as a picnic rug, a tummy-time blankie, or pram snug.

My super cheap and utterly gorgeous pick of the day award goes to the Envirotrend EnviroShopper bags that Haggus and Stookles are stocking.  They are enviro-kind, incredibly stylish (choose from 4 beautiful designs) and, at just $4.25 each, are an absolute STEAL!

Speaking of steals, have a look at the great range of free activities for kids you can download from Haggus and Stookles, including colouring in pages, dot to dots, travel games and a fantastic travel diary for when you are on holidays. Also, make sure you check out Haggus and Stookles’ Tips for on the Go: there is a wealth of knowledge there on being out and about with the kids in the car, on holidays, international and plane travel and for general outings to the park, shops, toilet training when out and much more!

1. There are discounts of up to 60% off across a big range of products in-store right now. I’m talking about Gaia Organic Cotton, Mitsy accessories, Kikki.K stationery, David Fussenegger, Bebe, Baobab, Elk and many, many more!

2. Cheryl at Pastel Pink is offering KidStyleFile readers an additional 25% off storewide*!! This offer is good for the next seven days only until midnight September 7 only, so get in quickly! Enter KSF-7SALE at checkout to claim this fantastic discount.

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!

Today Miki delivers you some knockout news from the gorgeous Bubba Funk - dig in!

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

Bubba Funk fans (that means everyone), listen up!

Sarah and Mariana at Bubba Funk - www.bubbafunk.com.au - are having a huge winter clear-out with up to 40% off in their well-stocked sale section. They need to create room for new Spring stock, so what’s left from Winter has to go go go!

I was delighted to find one of my best-loved New Zealand brands, Nature Baby, in the Bubba Funk sale section, and at great discounted prices no less. For those of you who don’t know Nature Baby, it’s all organic super-soft cotton and the quality is just outstanding. It’s absolutely perfect as a new baby gift… if you can bring yourself to give it away! My kid has a heap of Nature Baby in his wardrobe; I don’t think it’s possible to have too much of it.

Also in the sale section are items from designers such as Egg Baby by Susan Lazar, Marquise, loads from Moppit, adorable shoes and booties from Beautiful Soles and Britt Baby, plus clothes from Britt Baby too. There’s also a great range of Oobi, both summer and winter stock, and some lovely pieces from Quilt Baby. And as I said before, all of this is up to 40% off! Yow!

But hold on a minute!

Before you go racing off to make your purchases, hear this: the girls at Bubba Funk are offering KidStyleFile readers 25% off storewide*, including sale items! That’s an absolutely outstanding offer!! This offer is only good until August 31, so make sure you get in before then, and I’d suggest right now because that fantastic sale stock is never going to last at these discounts. Enter KSF08 at checkout to get the extra 25% off.

Now, tear your eyes away from the sale section for a moment to consider what else in the store you could apply a 25% discount to. The obvious answer is ‘everything’ of course, but let’s be a bit more specific here.

What about 25% off Il Tutto?! Bubba Funk have a big range of the luxurious, luscious Il Tutto nappy bags, and it’s very rare to find this much of a discount on them. I’ve been eyeing off the Olivia clutch for quite some time - it might be time to take the plunge.

Room decor is plentiful with designers such as David Fusseneger, Luna Ninos, and Aden + Anais, and there’s a massive range of wall decals from Little Chipipi and Forwalls. I love the blackboard decals, I think they’re a brilliant idea for kids’ rooms, but also for playrooms and the kitchen, or even the bathroom! I do my best thinking in the shower, perhaps I should put a blackboard wall sticker in there so that I have somewhere to record my ‘eureka moments’ before they vanish forever!

I can’t even begin to list all the beautiful products available at Bubba Funk, but suffice to say they carry these top designers: Aden + Anais, Annabel Trends, Babu, Baby Brands, Beautiful Soles, Bod, Bod for Bubs, Boon, Britt, Bud by Designroom, David Fussenegger, Egg Baby by Susan Lazar, Fish Lilly, For Walls, Grobag, Il Tutto, Isoki, John Crane, Little Chipipi, Luna Ninos, Marquise, Moppit, Nature Baby, Oobi Baby, Present Time, Quilt Baby, Ramalama, Vice Versa and Well Spotted.

Here are just a few of my picks:

Britt Baby Cuddles Booties, $38.50 $28.50 $21.38 with 25% KSF discount
John Crane Little Rolling Truck, $35.95 $26.96 with 25% KSF discount
