Today, Miki hits The Hip Infant for a shopping spree. If you want a 10% discount at THI grab a copy of Shop 4 Kids mag for the KSF exclusive code. Can’t get to the shops? Email me, and I’ll send you the magic words

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

The Hip Infant – www.thehipinfant.com.au – is an unending source of delight for me.

The site itself is a dream to navigate, it’s beautiful to look at and everything is just so… well, *hip*!

When you combine that with the vast range of brands you can understand why The Hip Infant is shopping heaven for the 0-2 years crowd.

Brands stocked include *takes a deep breath*: AKA Pipik, Albetta, Alex Toys, Alimrose Designs, Anna & Sally, Annabel Trends, Anne Claire Petit, Baby Einstein, Baby Legs, Babylicious, Benny Boy, Bical, BlaBla, Blink Designs, BUD, Built NY, Bump Buddy, Cheeky Monkey, Christmas Ideas, Coco & Eli, Cuddlefish, David Fussenegger, DiddleDumpling, Dirty Laundry, Elodie Details, Eyetribe, Fiesta Crafts, Flensted Mobiles, Fleurville, For Walls, For Windows, French Bull, Gertie and Me, Giimmo, Go_Home JNR, Green To Grow, Haba, Heimess, Hip Stuff, ID Tee, Inch Blue, Infancy, Jazzy Toes, JellyCats, JewelQueen, Kathe Kruse, Keptin Jr, Kid Squidgy, Kiddopotamus, Kipiis, Lima Bean, Limo Basics, Little Chipipi, Little Einsteins, Little Joey, Little Twig, Liz Knits, Milestone Press, Mill & Mia, Mini Glow, Mitty James, Mon Ange, Moppit, Mum To Mum, My Child, Oeuf NYC, OUCH, Peanut Shell, Present Time, Pure Baby, Rockabye Baby, Rondeau Industries, Rush, Sigikid, Simple Gorgeous Storage, Skip HOP, Smirk Kids, Snugglebum, Snugzeez, Teeny Me, Tiger Tribe, Tippy Toes, Toys Pure, Trunki, Vessel, Wall Candy Arts, WalRUs, and Wee Gallery < *gasps for air*>.

You can see why I love it!

So, what’s new on the block at The Hip Infant?

Well, the first things to catch my eye were the incredibly adorable Giimmo nightlights.

With sweet little shapes such as a panda, a monkey, a cat and a stegosaurus which are bound to have everyone squealing “OMG, cuuuuuuute!!” you know you’re onto a winner!

Night lights are great for kids who get a wee bit worried in the night.  How comforting for them to wake up to a soft glow rather than cold darkness. As an added bonus these nightlights are portable, so your child can take them to the bathroom if he or she wants to.

For those of you who are redecorating the kids’ rooms, check out The Hip Infant’s huge range of wall art and room accessories.

Although they stock a big range of For Walls and For Windows, among other top brands, the ones I love most are The Hip Infant’s own range of wall graphics and in particular the hot air balloon wall decals.  Just gorgeous and extraordinarily well priced for top quality wall decor!

Personally I’m particularly delighted that The Hip Infant stocks Green To Grow BPA Free bottles and accessories.  I’ve been using these bottles for ages and wholeheartedly vouch for them; they’re great to use and it’s very reassuring to know that when my little one drinks from them he’s only getting milk and not a host of other chemical nasties.

My picks of the day, represent just a handful of what I love over at The Hip Infant. Head on over there yourself to get the full effect

Ooh yes: me too!!

You can read all my previous posts on Itty Bitty Yuppy here.

To finish, a great example of Itty Bitty Yuppy products in action. See the beautiful little girl in the Pink Chicken Sasha Duck Dress – $82.45 $53.59 after 35% discount – (pictured here on the cover, and also inside of, LMNOP – www.lmnop.com.au – magazine)? That’s Kim’s very own daughter Ella!

I had previously thought that maybe the duck dress was more suited to itty bitty girls, but seeing Ella (heading towards 5 years) in the dress has convinced me that my 3.5+ year olds will look just a treat in it. (It’s the Queen’s birthday, so*someone* deserves a present right? )

Also, if you haven’t seen LMNOP mag before, here’s the deal: it’s an Australian online magazine celebrating the most beautiful children’s design products you ever did see. The content is the absolute height of everything cool, and the production values are superlative. There’s no aloofness here though; the whole package just radiates so much genuine warmth: LMNOP really has heart!

LMNOP is released quarterly and is free to download (it’s in Adobe Acrobat PDF format). What I like to do is open it, let it download (takes 5-10 mins depending on your connection), and then save it to my PC for easy repeat viewing. I recommend this, as I guarantee that you’ll find yourself wanting to browse it again and again!

Have a wonderful day, friends, and see you again tomorrow!

In addition to the previously mentioned clothing brands, Itty Bitty Yuppy exclusively stocks US and Canadian boutique labels Chic Papoose, Fleurville Kids, and My Little Seat, and the cream of overseas brands, including Baby Bonkie, Claesens, Il Tutto, Little Twig, Parisian Ballets, Sooki Baby, Tiny Tribe, and Zoobie Pets.
