Today’s post written by Miki

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

If you’re struggling to think of what to get the kids for Christmas, if you’ve been searching through toy catalogues with no lightbulb moments, or if you’re on a tight budget (aren’t we all!) then I have good news for you: Haggus & Stookles – www.haggusandstookles.com.au – have created a whole category full of brilliant Christmas present ideas from top brands like Djeco, Tiger Tribe, Bobble Art and more. And the best bit?  Everything in there is under $40!  In fact, prices go as low as $4, so there really is something to fit every budget in here. How brilliant is that?!

And just to make everything that bit more affordable, Donna at H&S is offering KidStyleFile readers FREE Christmas giftwrap and tag, and 10% off store-wide! Enter ‘KSF-XMAS’ at checkout and then select the wrapping and tag of your choice until 16 December 2009.  Christmas doesn’t get easier than this!

So what to get?  Well, there’s a whole host of hip and functional insulated lunchboxes, drink bottles and backpacks from Tiger Tribe, Stephen Joseph and Bobble Art which are perfect for the kid who is excited about starting school in the new year, or an upcoming holiday. The new styles from Thermos are selling like hotcakes, and I also love the great designs available from Envirosax (these make great gifts for adults too).

There’s also a wide array of games, puzzles and activities, all of which are great for travelling.  Never again will you have to listen to whinging from the backseat if they’re set up with Tiger Tribe Magnetic Playbooks, or an Alex Toys Car Valet.

New & Hip – The Hip Infant Rules: Dwellstudio, Alimrose, Ella & Otto, Teeny Me, WeeGo, THI Collection + GWP Offer and 10% Discount for KSF readers

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Want something fresh and summery to put a smile on your face today?  Go straight to The Hip Infant – www.thehipinfant.com.au – where Mel has been stocking up her ‘What’s New‘ category with loads of new goodies for our purchasing pleasure.

Mel at THI doesn’t take her foot off the accelerator when it comes to sourcing beautiful new products for her store, and this season is no exception. Of particular note is the adorable Summer fashion collection for little girls, with rompers, dresses and bloomers in pretty lightweight cottons.  I especially love the Red Cherry Spot Romper (below at no. 5): what an adorable summer basic for a baby girl!

I’m also thrilled that The Hip Infant now stocks the Ella & Otto interiors collection.  I first came across Ella & Otto at the Bubble trade show in London earlier this year, and believe me when I say it’s one of the nicest ranges of cot bedding I’ve seen. Crisp 100% cotton fabrics and modern/retro-inspired prints make for a winning combination. I’m so pleased to see it available in Australia!

Sit yourself down and have a browse through the whole ‘What’s New‘ category to see what else has just hit the shelves at THI, because I don’t have room to even begin to describe it all here!  Just quickly: the Teeny Me flip flop sofas are actually a stylish fold-out toddler sofa – hallelujah! a toddler sofa I actually want in my living room! – and there are new textiles from DwellStudio and Alimrose, among others.  Also have a look at the super funky Gourmet Getaway bags from BuiltNY, and the WeeGo glass bottles are fast becoming a necessity for parents who want to avoid BPAs in their baby’s milk.

Spend $70+ at The Hip Infant until midnight 30 September 2009 and you’ll receive a FREE Haba clutching toy valued at $12.95. You can also use the exclusive code found in Shop4Kids magazine and the weekly KidStyleFile Deals & Steals newsletter to take 10% off your order of $65 or more for a limited time only.

Baby’s Got Style for Christmas, for Summer, for Everyone!

Posted: December 17th, 2008

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

Dear Santa

I have worked hard this year, loved and cared  for my children, family, and friends, and tried very hard to be *good*.

I think you’ll agree it’s only fair that I now deserve to receive *everything* over at Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au!

He he…well, I can dream!!

Seriously though, there’s not a lot that I don’t want from Baby’s Got Style!

One of the truly remarkable things about BGS is that they never stop moving – head Style Baby Daniela was born with a mega style gene – and there’s always something new and beautiful awaiting me alongside the timeless classics.

Here we go with my fave picks from Baby’s Got Style for under the tree this Christmas.

Munchler lunch bags from Built NY are such a cool pick – literally! Munchler bags are insulated food storage bags made from toxin free food-safe polypropylene, that unfold to become a placemat too! These are bags are light as a feather when empty, and come in a choice of three characters.

Also on the food front, Airfork One, a fork in the shape of a plane, gets major smile points, plus it’s extremely practical.

For little babies, perfect Chrissy gifts include the delightful BGS wooden pull-along toys (see the elephant below), and Manhattan Toy Co. ‘Skwish’, guaranteed to keep your babe amused for hours with it’s transmutable squishy shape.

Parents of babies will also thank you for this clever Tommee Tippee inflatable bath duck. It tells you the temperature of a the water -  a great safety feature – is small, and portable so storage won’t be an issue, plus it’s super cute, and the beak quacks when squeezed, so it has its own built-in entertainment! Built NY change mats are also great pressies, for Mums and Dads on the move.

For older kids the wooden tool set is a huge winner with wanna-be Christmas elves, along with the great selection of books at Baby’s Got Style.  ‘Hello Greenpeace’ is a lovely story of a child and a whale, and features real letters to take out and read. The Lark Designs 70’s kitsch bookplates are the perfect accompaniment.

Kids of all ages will enjoy the Small Paul Julius sock monkey in pink, blue or red. At 30cm with lanky long limbs and a friendly demeanor, every home should have one (we have two!)

For casual Christmas day attire that will have your tiny charge looking great and feeling comfortable all summer, you can’t go past Well Spotted’s ‘The Force’ tee, and Rock Your Baby Day dresses in great retro prints.

For decor delights for the kids rooms check out Cold Coffee wall stickers – I’m loving the chandelier….for me! Gift wrapped, please Santa :)

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

You know what I love best about winter?

It’s not the hot chocolates with marshmallows melting gooily in them. It’s not the chill in the air that puts colour into my cheeks, it’s not the open fires, it’s not even the winter fashions, although I do love all of those things too.

Nope, what I love best about winter is that it always means the End of Financial Year sales begin! And do I have a doozy for you today :)

he lovely Mel at The Hip Infant – www.thehipinfant.com.au – has just announced their End of Financial Year sale and it’s oh-so-fab:

Up to 70% off selected items, and as an extra special bonus for KidStyleFile readers there’s an extra 5% off store-wide! Do the maths with me – that’s up to 75% off! Also, you have the jump on the sale, as it doesn’t officially start until Monday 16 June!

Enter ‘KSF‘ at checkout to receive an extra 5% off your order. Discount code is valid until 30 June. All other discount codes are suspended during the sale period. (Head straight to the sale section to start shopping.

In fact, if it’s stylish and to do with kids then I can’t think of much that The Hip Infant doesn’t stock!

The Hip Infant has everything from baby slings (check out the fab discounts on Aka Pipik and Peanut Shells) to nursery bedding (discounted David Fusseneger, anyone? Ooh, pick me!!), toys to clothes to decor and wall art, ad infinitum.

Also, check out The Hip Infant’s very own product range, including babygrows: The Hip Infant Basics (so popular, the first shipment has already sold out! Keep your eyes peeled though, more landing soon!), and pre-walker shoes: The Hip Infant Sneakies.

Also, I can’t let the moment pass without mentioning the huge discounts on nappy bags (I’m a wee bit notorious for my nappy bag addiction by now, and The Hip Infant is doing nothing to help me get over it I have to say!).

Anna & Sally Chic nappy bags are down to $89.95 from $129.95 and Fleurville Baby Bags – oh how I love Fleurville! – are reduced by $50.00, bringing them down to $148.00! Those are incredibly good prices.

I just have to show you some of my favourite sale items; check ‘em out. Don’t dilly dally too long though, at these prices stock will be gone in a flash! Head straight to the sale section to start shopping.
