Paaar-tay! Paar-tay!! <waves hands in the air> Pastel Pink – www.pastelpink.com.au – is turning the big TWO, and the party going on over there totally rocks!

Cheryl’s present to herself (although we definitely benefit!) was to get the whole Pastel Pink site redesigned, and the brand spanking new PP site is a joy and a delight to use.  You’ve got to go and try it out for yourself – it’s easy to navigate, packed with very cool stuff and the new checkout process is easy as pie (trust me, I’ve already tried it out

Chez’s present to us is a bounty of impressive markdowns on covetable brands. Behold:

There’s also a great deal running on Envirosax, where if you buy six Cheryl will throw in an extra one for you absolutely free!! Envirosax are fantastic to keep in your handbag, but they also make absolutely brilliant gifts for both adults and kids alike.

So you’ve been trawling through the shops and you can’t quite find the right present for Mother’s Day.  It might be your mum you’re buying for, or your grandmother, or your mother-in-law, or yourself, or all of the above, and it’s proving problematic and time consuming.

Well I have the solution for you: go to Pastel Pink – www.pastelpink.com.au – and have a look at their range.  Cheryl stocks such a wide range of gifts for mums, including jewellery, pyjamas, accessories and a FABULOUS range of bags, that you’re pretty much guaranteed to find something for every special mum in your life.

I think the Envirosax range of eco-friendly reusable bags is something pretty special.  The bags themselves are incredibly useful, and unlike many useful things they are also stunning to look at!  They roll up to a tiny size, perfect for keeping in the glove box, under the pram or in the bottom of your handbag, and then as soon as you need a shopping bag, voila!  There it is, ready to go and lookin’ hot.

There’s a huge range of Envirosax at Pastel Pink, including the new Candy Pouch and Botanica Pouch sets which are five coordinating Envirosax bags in a pouch together.  No more lugging bulky and unattractive green bags to the supermarket for anyone who has these sets!  Truly, the only hard part about Envirosax is choosing which of the amazing designs you want.  They’re also a wonderfully inexpensive gift at $9.95 each (or $42.95 for the five-bag pouches).

Other great gift ideas at Pastel Pink are the Gingerlilly pyjamas in snuggly new designs.  A long-time favourite at Pastel Pink, these PJs are winners with mums as they’re so deliciously soft, and the range includes many designs which are breastfeeding-friendly.

Another range full of potential prezzies for mums is the Elk Accessories collection.  Their new season’s range features smooth resins, divinely soft mango woods, stainless steel and, intriguingly, felt. The resulting range has pieces which I really think will cater to just about all tastes, and the prices won’t break the bank!

Now listen up: all orders made between now and Wednesday May 6th 1pm AEST will go into the draw to win 1 of 2 $75 Pastle Pink Gift Vouchers, or an Elk Accessories 5 Strand Knot Necklace in Grey worth $44.00. To be eligible for this draw please enter ‘KSF’ in the comments section at checkout. Also, don’t forget to join Pastel Pink’s ‘Club Pink’ to receive 15% off all orders OR use the KSF Shop4Kids code to get yourself free postage. Woo!

Today’s post is all about you. Beautiful, gorgeous, talented, and clever YOU! You give out so much love, and you deserve a whole lot back, so here’s to you, with love, KSF readers: you’re doing a fantastic job: keep up the good work!

Whatever you think of the commercial side of Valentine’s Day, you have to admit it is a nice idea: let the person you love know it for a fact. While I’m looking squarely at you Baby-Daddies in the audience, Baby-Mamas should feel free to go ahead and buy yourselves a nice little gift: stop and give yourselves a little pat on the back and a retail treat for all the hard work you do as a Mum!

V-Day is only one week away – it’s on the 14th Feb – and Pastel Pink – www.pastelpink.com.au – is the store to hit up for the goodies to accompany the kisses, cuddles and kind words.

With the heat wave raging you’re better off to take a break from the fresh flowers and choccies (as nice as they are) and invest in something that will last a little longer. A Louenhide bag, a piece of Elk jewellery, gift-boxed Gingerlilly nightwear (currently on sale 35% off), and a lovely Nesti Dante soap is sure to make your loved one feel special. (I would happily take the Elk Picket Fence Brooch, Louenhide Switch Bag in Red, and Owl-Print Linen Envirosax (hint hint!), or a nice Gift Voucher never goes astray!)

Just a quick aside: on the subject of the Envirosax, now’s the time to get on board with these eco friendly bags, available in a range of gorgeous designs (I heart the Fern Botanic print), as many states will implement bans on placcy bags this year (South Australia starting on 4 May 2009).

Cheryl and Cait at Pastel Pink also have some great offers to sweeten your Valentine’s purchases even more:

1. FREE postage on all orders until 14 February 2009. Enter code ‘KSF-Valentine’ at checkout.
2. FREE Envirosax valued at $9.95 when you spend over $100.00 beforel 28 February 2009.
3. FREE Deluxe Gift Wrapping: please ask for gift wrap in the comments box at checkout.
4. FREE delivery to any home or workplace in the Adelaide Metro area only on Friday 13th or Saturday 14th February. Please phone Chez at Pastel Pink on 0418 811 828 to check if you are in the area.

So there you are, Valentine’s Day, all wrapped up, with love. Happy shopping! xx

If I thought that buying presents yesterday was last minute stuff, then today is down to the last second.  But you can actually still order Christmas gifts online for pre-Christmas delivery!

Pastel Pink – www.pastelpink.com.au – are taking orders right up until 1pm AEST today, provided you live in an Australian capital city.

If you have any queries, I’d suggest calling Cheryl and the team on 0418 811 828.

Now before we go any further, whip out your copy of the latest My Child magazine or check the KSF Deals & Steals weekly newsletter and find the discount code.  It’s well worth having, as it’ll get you 20% off store-wide at Pastel Pink – and yes, that includes sale items!! (View terms and conditions and expiry date here).

You should also take advantage of the FREE gift wrapping – and trust me, the Pastel Pink gift wrapping has to be seen to be believed.

So who do you still have to buy for?

If it’s the kids then you have a huge amount to choose from at Pastel Pink.  How about Eleganter Frog Checkers as a way to keep them quiet, or a funky wooden puzzle?  If you haven’t got santa sacks for them yet, then you’re in luck as the stunning Cocoon Couture Santa Sacks are still in stock at Pastel Pink, and even better, they’re discounted!  Even if you’re set for this year you could still snap them up for next Christmas.

If you’re buying for baby then you’re really in the right place. Baby girls’ toy collections just aren’t complete without an Alimrose Bunny, and baby boys would thrilled to relieve the Alimrose Toy Soldier, not least because it makes noise! (don’t worry, it’s just a pleasant rattly sound) There are also divine David Fussenegger blankets which are perfect both for on the cot or bassinet, and also for lying the baby on the floor.

And what if you’re buying for you or for your own mum or mum-in-law?  What about one of Pastel Pink’s stylish bags?  There is also a great collection of modern, funky jewellery which will turn any outfit into a fashion statement, and – my personal favourite – the most stunning range of luxurious Gingerlily pyjamas.  I think getting new PJs just can’t be beaten as a pressie, and I’m sure I’m not alone there.

Lastly, Cheryl has put together a great section of gifts under $20, so if it’s stocking stuffers you still need then browse through there.  You’re bound to find plenty that the kids would love amongst the 92 items in there!

And don’t forget, the My Child 20% off applies store-wide…

You can take an extra 20% off these prices using the discount code in the latest My Child magazine. It can also be found in the weekly KSF Deals & Steals newsletter.
