As I write this I have *all* three children asleep – trust me, this is a feat that rarely happens! A lot can be said for silence when there is usually three mini chatterboxes running around. Without the alternating giggles and cries of the 8-month old, the little chatter of the two-year old and the rough and tumble of the four-year old, I finally have a chance to start chatting myself about the fabulous store Mini Chatterbox – www.minichatterbox.com.au.

Mini Chatterbox has a gorgeous array of kids’ clothing and accessories. They make Christmas shopping easy with categories including the What We Love and What’s New category which highlight some delightful pieces from some of our favourite brands. If you are looking for a special Christmas day outfit for your little ones then look to the What’s New category where you can pick up gorgeous pieces like the beautiful, organic cotton Purebaby Shirred Dress in a blueberry floral print.

The On Sale section is a must see for those looking for a bargain without sacrificing on style. The Tommy Rocket No Rude Finger Tank is so cool for little boys on a warm day, and at 50% off it’s a total steal. The Moppit Charity Pink Dress also stands out for its floaty shape and soft baby pink cotton jersey – pretty and comfy. The Alimrose Design Teething Rings also deserve a special mention. They have transformed the traditional gel teething moulds into a gorgeous accessory that any mother would be proud to have their baby resting their gums on; a perfect gift for a little babe.

To help you prepare for the silly season, Mini Chatterbox is offering KidStyleFile readers a massive 20% off all full-priced items, plus free shipping on orders over $150.  And if you’ve been hoping to get your hands on one of the coveted Cocoon Couture Bean Bags for your child’s room, now is the time to buy – a library bag is being thrown in for *free* with each bean bag sold!

An indecisive nature, coupled with raging hormones and the astounding array of baby products  made preparing for my first child a really daunting experience – I just had no idea where to begin.  I could have benefited greatly from the sound advice of Shelley from Lime Tree Kids – www.limetreekids.com.au as she has her finger on the pulse when it comes to getting set up for life with a new child.  I could have relied on her to tell me what I really needed and most importantly what I didn’t need, because I wanted it all! Plus, Shelley has an impeccable eye for stylish products which is evident once you dive into the very lovely pages of Lime Tree Kids.

Shelley has put her own discoveries, and most loved products, on display at Lime Tree Kids in some super helpful sections like the Baby Needs section. This category is filled to the brim with all the things you need for your 0-18 month old baby. Here you will find nursing products, bottles like the cool Natribottle Glass bottles (pictured below in green), burpy bibs, comforters and dummy holders to help get you through those important baby months.

It’s common knowlege that sleep (and lack thereof for parents) is a big part of life with a new child, so Lime Tree Kids also has a special section in store called Sleep time – if only there was more of it in real life huh?! Here you will find swaddle wraps like the very clever Joey Pouch Swaddle,  blankets, sleeping bags and pillows. I really like the Maddi & Dyl range of natural and sustainable pillows which can be washed and never change their shape. In a range of sizes, including the Sookii Babe Pillow which offers day time neck support for babies, these pillow last for 5+ years.

For one week only, baby preparations are made easier for you thanks to these Lime Tree Kids special offers: you can go ahead and take 20% off any of the products you like in the Baby Needs, Sleep time and off *all* of the items in the Sale section, where some items are already discounted by up to 64% off!
