WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP!! That’s the sound of a big loud siren, combined with flashing red lights, alerting your attention to a sale at Chic Kids – www.chickids.com.au!

Grab your mouse and click on over, because this is one pre-Christmas mark down you don’t want to miss.  You see, not only is Denise at Chic Kids giving KidStyleFile readers 15% off store-wide until 22 November 2009, she’s also marked down the entire Playtime section by 10%!  Do the maths, people: that’s 25% off toys, just in time for your Christmas shopping! How’s THAT for great timing?! Enter the code ‘CHICKIDSKSF’ at checkout to redeem this super-great offer!

There are loads of goodies just waiting to be snapped up in the Playtime section, including adorable Kate Finn soft toys (I gave a Kate Finn horse to my friend’s newborn daughter just recently, they’re really lovely gifts), and some fantastic wooden toys from top brands such as Brio.  Also notable are the traditional Russian nesting dolls – I had a set like this as a little girl and absolutely loved them, plus they make a stunning room accessory for a little girl when lined up along a shelf.

Also part of the Playtime category are a range of children’s musical instruments including maracas, tambourines, wooden recorders and wrist bells.  The kids will have a great time making music with these things, and they’re all so inexpensive that they make for excellent stocking stuffers too.

The 15% off discount can also be put to very good use on Chic Kids’ range of fashion from primo labels, not least of which is a huuuge collection of Bebe by Minihaha. Baobab also puts in a good showing, along with Freshbaked, Marquise and NZ boutique brand Dolly Up.

And just quietly, don’t forget to have a look in the Delicious Discounts section to see what discounted goodies you might like to reduce by another 15%

There are certain toys that really connect with kids, and wooden toys are high up in this select group. Quality timber toys do have a beautiful weight and hand feel to them that is hard to match with any other material, and they are very durable, which means they have great longevity.

BRIO and PlanToys are two timber toy manfucaturers at the top of the tree (pun intended!).

BRIO toys, started production in 1908 in Sweden, and are still made of wood (now in China) and designed in Osby, the village where it all began. The quality lacquered finish of BRIO toys makes them highly coveted by adults, and much loved by kids (including mine!)

Thailand-based PlanToys is a most impressive company which operates under a code of social and environmental responsibility. The timber finish is often left natural, and the range of designs is constantly expanding. We have an extensive collection of PlanToys products in our house that bring constant enjoyment.

Take the opportunity to get your hands on BRIO and PlanToys products 15% off at Little Possums Toys – www.littlepossumstoys.com.au – until midnight, 2 September 2009.

Also, don’t miss the Little Possums Specials section for great deals on quality brands. Check back regularly for fresh discounts on top selling toys, and sign up for the Little Possums Toys newsletter to stay in the loop.

I’ll freely confess to being a ‘dog person’.  I had fur babies long before I had the human variety, and I still think there’s nothing like a dog for giving unstinting and constant affection while being as un-demanding as you could expect a living creature to be.

Luckily for me, my two-year-old son agrees – he loves dogs and anything with a picture of a dog on it.  Ange gave him a large Brio Dachshund for his birthday which he adores, and so I’ve gone on the hunt for other cool kids products with a canine theme. Turns out there’s loads out there, and it’s all so cute! Dachshunds in particular are a hot design theme right now, which I intend to make the most of.

Below are a range of my favourite doggy products for discerning tots, both from Australian sites and some of the best of overseas. Enjoy!

1. BRIO Dachshund Pull-Along Dog – Small, $29.95 and Large $159.95 from Entropy
2. Urban Elk Dog Print Sweater Dress, $89.95 from I Want Fabulous
3. Ride-On Dog Moonhopper, NZ$29.00 from Pipsqueaks (NZ) (these are brilliant for toddlers; a friend has one and it’s a permanent favourite with every kid who visits her house)
4. No Added Sugar Blue Sausage Dog Shoes, $43.95 $34.92 from Minifashionista
5. Snoffs Red Dog Blanket, $57.95 from Baby Goes Retro
6. Offi Dachshund Light, £52.00 from Nubie (UK)
7. Ej Sikke Lej Doggy Summersuit – part of the Spring/Summer ‘09/10 Collection and hopefully available in Australia soon.
8. Magis Puppy Chair, $119.00 at UrbanBaby
9. Djeco Brownie & Tractor Puzzle, $25.00 $22.00 from The Toy Bug
10. Ride-On Dogs – Golden Retriever and Dalmation, £55.00ea £38.00ea from Red Direct (UK)
11. Fred Flare Hot Dog Tote Bag, USD$26.00 (I thought this bag was too cute to leave out, but tragically Fred Flare doesn’t ship to Australia. You can still get it if you subscribe to a mail forwarding service in the US)

As always, please check individual sites for postage details, and have a look at the KidStyleFile All Current Deals page to make sure you’re getting the best deal on your purchase.

*Miki sings in best Mariah Carey impersonation*:“I don’t want a lot for Christmas, this is all I’m asking for…”

Yeah right – of course I want a lot for Christmas!  I love Christmas and putting together my wishlist, but this year just about everything on it is for Alex, my 16 month old boy.  Who can blame me?  I spend all day looking at stunning kids’ clothes, toys and accessories so it’s little wonder I covet so much of it!

I’ve put together a Top 10 list below of my absolute must-haves this festive season:

1. A Rush lunchbox – I find we’re so often out at Alex’s snack and meal times that we really do need a decent lunchbox to take with us.  This one from Rush fits the bill perfectly, and it’s so cute!

2. The adorably wacky Okiedog Fropper – a ride-on toy that bounces too!  I just wish they came in adult sizes…

3. Trunki Towgo – we’re going to be doing a lot of travelling in the new year, and what better way to entertain a toddler in the airport than with a ride-on suitcase?  Plus it’ll hold all his toys, books and essentials for the flights.

4. The Smirk Vespa s/s tee – simple, funky and great quality, I love the Smirk range of tees and onesies.  He’s going to look so cute in this one!

5. A Foogo Stainless Steel Leak-Proof Sippy Cup – non-spill, unbreakable, keeps drinks cold for up to six hours and has a comfy soft spout, what more could we ask for in a sippy cup?  Oh, you want it to be attractive too?  Check that box, the Foogo range is super-stylish!

6. mylittleseat – Ideal for keeping a wriggly toddler still and safe at mealtimes when we aren’t near a highchair, and then it folds down small enough to tuck into my handbag! This will be another handy one when travelling.

7. And speaking of handbags, why should Alex get all the good stuff?  I love this Louenhide Baby Barrel in Biscuit; it’s stylish, minimalist, will go with everything and it’s roomy enough to fit all the paraphenalia I take with me every time I leave the house.

8. The Hip Infant Wall Graphics ‘Up, Up And Away’ – Now that my baby isn’t actually a baby any more, it’s time to redecorate his nursery and turn it into a cool toddler boy’s room.  Given his obsession with balloons (every time he sees one he shrieks “Loon!! Looooon!!”) I think these stunning hot air balloon wall decals will be just the thing to give his room a new look.  They’re so affordable too!  I might get two packets at this price.

9. Some Brio Classic Wooden Race Cars – which he’ll adore, as his other obsession is cars.  Such a boy.  These ones look stunning, and they’re wooden which just makes me love them more; wooden toys last forever. These cars come in four colours so I might get him the whole fleet!

10. The Moppit Radioman T-Shirt- he’ll be cool as a cucumber in this funky green shirt from Moppit.  I have to smile every time I see the little radioman graphic, isn’t it adorable?

1. Rush Jungle Lunchbox, $24.95 at Kinder Kaboodle
2. Okiedog Fropper, $85.90 $65.90 at Amazing Toys
3. Trunki Towgo, $69.95 at Metro Mum
4. Smirk Vespa S/S tee, $34.95 $29.70 at Frock You^
