‘Tis the season to be merry! Nope, I’m not talking about Christmas, I’m talking about the post-Christmas sales!  There’s a lot going on at the moment, but one of the best is at Design Child – www.designchild.com.au – where top branded clothing is up to 35% off!

Yes, that’s right folks, up to 35% off (and in some cases more) brands such as Baobab, mill&mia, Aravore, Neige and Albetta!  You don’t need a code, prices are on sale as marked, so get in before everything goes because that’s bound to be soon.  (Note that the sale excludes Peggy brand clothing, and footwear.)

There are also some new products to check out: canvas prints from Sydney company Urban Nest Designs which are absolutely beautiful; peaceful, nature inspired, slightly Scandinavian looking and very, very stylish. There’s a stunning pair of alphabet prints included in the range (one for a girl’s room, one for a boy’s) which are my favourites.

Also new are Pediped shoes which I can personally recommend, my older son having had several pairs. They’re soft soled shoes, as recommended for babies and new walkers by pretty much every health professional out there.  The soles are lightly padded though, which makes it more comfy for little feet especially on uneven surfaces.  The uppers are incredibly soft leather with easy close fastenings, making it easy to get them onto wriggly feet.

So head over to head over to Design Child and make the most of the fantastic sale and the heavenly new products pronto!

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.

Dimity at Three Little Owls is helping us celebrate Christmas this year with a great offer for all KSF readers: spend $100 and you’ll receive a $20 voucher to spend on your next order until 13 December 2009. Enter coupon code KSFXMAS at checkout to redeem. You can also take up to 25% off everything in the sale section.

Goodness me! When Terri at Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au – decides to mark down her stock for the annual winter clearance, she certainly doesn’t do it by halves!

25% off all new season Sooki Baby
25-40% of selected Baobab

On top of these discounts, if you spend over $65 in one transaction (excluding postage) Terri will give you an incredibly divine, snuggly Gertie & Me Bunny valued at $28.95.  The bunny offer is valid only while stocks last, so you don’t want to dally around too much.

New in at Little Styles are some seriously gorgeous gift sets.  They come in a range of prices to suit most budgets, and are such a lovely baby shower or new baby gift! They consist of a range of beautiful and useful products from top brands (including Alimrose and Marquise), and come packaged in adorable little keepsake suitcases – too cute!

I am also really quite taken with some of the other new products here, including the ingenious Bbox – such a nifty idea that I bet anyone who has one doesn’t know what they did without one!  The Giddy Giddy hairclips and accessories are so sweet, as are the Flipsy Flopsy Dolls and the Albetta range.  And the Milk Baby skincare range looks just heavenly, and I do mean ‘looks’ – the packaging is incredibly stylish, and the products themselves sound just wonderful!

With winter now well underway, nothing brightens my day like finding new ranges at discounted prices to present to you all.  Today is a wonderful day, because I have discovered that Dimity at Just Ripe – www.justripe.com.au – has a whole heap of new gear in store just for our browsing and buying pleasure!

And to make things even better, Dimity is giving KidStyleFile readers 15% off store-wide until the end of June! Yes, that’s 15% off everything including sale items, and orders over $150 ship for free!!  YAY!!!  Just enter ‘KSF’ at checkout to get the discount – it ends 30 June 2009.

Now in terms of new ranges, there’s lots to choose from but here are some of my favourites:

There are lots of adorable new rompers from Albetta. I think the Bear one (below at no. 10) is too cute for words, and there are some gorgeous florals for girls in both traditional and funky styles. Albetta seem to use a really high threadcount of cotton for their rompers – the ones I’ve had in the past have washed up beautifully and they feel lusciously thick and soft.  I’m eyeing off these new designs big time, believe me!

Speaking of rompers, there are also some divine choices from Britt (see their Bear Face romper at no. 2 below), and I adore the Nurtured By Nature range too; their Cocoon Cotton knit fabric is absolutely delicious to touch and the colours are gorgeous.

But I think the most tactile product range here has to be from Infancy: their cashmere rompers are… oh, words fail me! Try to imagine the softest, snuggliest blanket you’ve ever felt, and then double its softness, and then you’re approaching something like the Infancy Cashmere All-In-One Suit.  And Infancy are also doing a line in sustainable bamboo fabric now, which feels quite a lot like a cashmere blend to touch.

Also new at Just Ripe are ranges from mill&mia, lots of funky and practical Walnut shoes, Bluebird & Honey and Books To Wear pyjamas.  There’s also been a huge new delivery of Alimrose, with loads to choose from – and all of the above is at 15% off! Sweeeeet!! Now go get shopping!

The prices below reflect the 15% KidStyleFile discount using the code ‘KSF’, and expire on 30 June 2009.

1. Nurtured By Nature Cocoon Cotton Multi Stripe Dress – Shell Pink, $54.95 $46.70
2. Britt Romper Teddy Face – Grey/Blue, $40.00 $34.00
3. Walnut Mary Jane – Ballet Pink, $29.95 $25.45

Bibs are one of those things that you can never have enough of. They are the kind of thing where it is a good idea to buy quality and quantity. Good quality cotton bibs are the way to go, they wash well and keep on looking good.

For such a simple concept, the bib can come in so many shapes, colours and sizes: there are the soft small ones for newborn dribble and milk spills, the big absorbent ones for toddler munchtime, there are reversible, plastic-coated, patterned, plain, funny, cute, stylish, and co-ordinated, there are some for home, some for Grandmas, some for the nappy bag ,and some for adding a little colour to their outfits.

No matter what you are in the mood for, there is a bib out there to suit. They are also a great gift for new Mums or 1 year old birthdays!
