Celebrate Childhood with My Keiko: Up to 30% off Sale + an EXTRA 20% off Store-wide for KSF Readers

Posted: January 29th, 2010

Today’s post written by Leah

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

For many of you, this week has been a week of firsts.  It may have been your kidlets first day at school, preschool or day care…their first tooth, first step, first time on the potty….or maybe, the first time they slept through the night (I wish!). My Keiko – www.mykeiko.com.au - meaning  ”My 慶子 ” or roughly “My celebrate child”  is true to it’s name, with an abundance of treats to help you everyday of the week.

We often forget the other siblings that are left behind when one of our children begins school. Ruby Makes a Friend Written by Tina Burke is the perfect book to read to a sibling who has bravely waved goodbye to their older brother or sister for the day. The book introduces us to ‘Ruby’ who solemnly watches her big brother go off to school. She creates an imaginary friend to fill the void and has many adventures with him. In no time Ruby starts school (doesn’t it feel like in a blink of an eye they’re off to school?) herself and meets more friends. This book explores friendships, imagination and fun!

When Mister R was born I was given a gorgeous baby book to record all of his milestone and special moments. One of the mistakes I did make, not being a real crafty person, was using a plain old office ink pad to stamp his little feet and place them in his baby book! Baby wipes would not remove the stain on his little feet….even a half hour soak didn’t work! Oh how I wish I had know about Belly Art – Inkless Print Kits.  No stains. Just a precision imprint of bubs tootsies! Many maternity hospitals also use this fantastic kit.

Packing for trips with the kidlets often requires a checklist: water – check; snacks – check; nappies and wipes – check; spare clothes, um….. Yep, for me I often forget to replace the t-shirt I used last week, or the pants Miss N removed from the bag when it became cloudy and her skirt was not warm enough.  If I’m going to forget something, it’s the spare clothes that I omit. Babysparewear is a concept I think would make my life a little easier. Each set comes with a few basic pieces that make a complete outfit, are packed in a slim line travel case and are made with lightweight 100% cotton, jersey cotton or organic cotton depending on the pack.  Watch out – Babysparewear is reduced to clear! Grab your pack whilst stocks last.

Until 31 March 2010 My Keiko is offering all KSF readers a very generous 20% discount off everything* – including sale stock already reduced by up to 30% – store wide. Use coupon code “KSF” at checkout to redeem. You will also receive FREE regular postage on any order over $150. Keep your eye on the What’s New category with new products arriving daily, and sign up to the newsletter to never miss a beat.

KSF Reader Special: 10% off storewide at Kinder Kaboodle brands include Penny Scallan, Feef, Smelly Welly + much more!

Posted: February 3rd, 2008

pscallan-apple-lunchbagjpg.jpgpscallan-carhatjpg.jpgdreamkit-copy.jpgdragonpillow.jpgpscallan-starbackpk-lgejpg.jpgheidiho-hot-pink-hat__.jpg

School’s almost in! Are you sorted yet? Never fear, Kinder Kaboodle – www.kinderkaboodle.com.au – is here!

A new concept store especially for the pre-schooler, school age and creche-going child, whether you need backpacks and bags, drink bottles, sun-wear, rain-wear, art-ware or sleepover supplies, Kinder Kaboodle is the place for you. No more rushing around different places looking, it’s absolutely all here!!

With an incredible selection across brands including Penny Scallan, Feef, Smelly Welly, Vintage Kid, Crocodile Creek, alex & charli, Western Chief and Bobble Art, and the award winning Little Swish Dream Kits, there is something for every taste and need.

Here are some picks close to my heart; we use these in our house, and they are all life-savers:

pscallan-spot-librarybag-extrajpg.jpgPenny Scallan, with her beautiful limited edition fabrics encased in practical easy wipe PVC (we have the Groovy Spot – pictured in Library Bag $17.95 - Paisley and Flower prints going on in our house)

feef-yellowgardensmock.jpg Feef, who make the *best* smocks in existence. I know this from experience; we have literally 10 different kinds, and the Feef smocks are the only ones that don’t soak through. They are a made from a thick, but soft, coated fabric that really protects clothes; no more Napisan-ing after playgroup! Garden Art Kids Smock pictured $34.95 (also comes in Beetle Car print)

starfish-bumpbuddyjpg.jpgKid Cold Packs BumpBuddy; once again I sing the praise of the Starfish Bump buddy; they turn an injured crying child into smiling fully recovered child in 2 minutes flat! Starfish variety pictured $9.95 (also comes in funky flower, dinosaur and soccer ball designs).

4myearth-sandwich-wrap-450pxjpg.jpgA product I don’t have yet, but will be snapping up soon, is the not-a-moment-too-soon 4 My Earth eco-friendly Sandwich and Snack Wraps ($9.95 and $6.95 respectively), an easy and non-toxic product that keeps food fresh and dry. These environmentally friendly Sandwich Wraps can be used to wrap lunches and snacks over and over again, are much easier for little fingers to get open than cling wrap, and reduce landfill and water pollution caused by discarding plastic.

What an incredibly brilliant idea – just like Kinder Kaboodle itself!

To get 10% off the purchase price storewide, simply enter ‘KSF’ in the discount code section at checkout.

Kinder Kaboodle charge $6.00 for parcels up to 500gms and $9.00 for parcels 501gms-3kg, Australia wide. Orders over 3kg will display the charge at checkout. Orders over $120 are shipped free!

Buying for friends…And loving Oobi, BumpBuddy and Anamalz

Posted: December 28th, 2007

martianset.jpgstarfishlightblue1.jpglogo.JPGpatchworktee.jpg

There is about to be a population boom in my neck of the woods. Seven of my friends are pregnant and due in the next six months!!

Are you like me, on a budget, but still want to get your friends something special? Look no further than Fairy Kisses – www.fairykisses.com.au.

They stock a large range of Oobi Baby clothing (size newborn to 3 years) and toys, and are currently offering a free Oobi Bella the Martian hoodie when you purchase a tee (long or shortsleeved: $24) and a pair of footies or pants ($21).

Also, check out the Bump Buddy cold packs a personal favourite must-have-item of mine. These Buddies are a truly brilliant innovation in the world of ice packs; kid sized, freezer friends (as opposed to crazy big bags of peas, which you have to bin after) that can be whipped out to cheer and heal the inevitable bumps and knocks of childhood.

Whenever my kids get hurt they call for ‘the Starfish, the STARfish!!’ and it’s presence always lessens the pain, physically and emotionally.

Also check out the Anamalz. Eco-friendly, affordable and great for kids to collect. FK are currently only stocking a few (kangaroo, hippo and lion), but they are the few that most other stockists don’t have their hands on yet!

To sweeten the experience, Fairy Kisses are currently having an up-to-45% off sale, and offer cheap shipping and a fantastic loyalty program (I snapped up some bargains yesterday, and here they are today in the mail, including my little loyalty member gift. Who doesn’t love GWP (Gift With Purchase??!!); I’m thrilled!
