The stylish team over at Pastel Pink – www.pastelpink.com.au are adding to their already outstanding line up of items this week with some great new products, and they are out to make all things retro new again!

First up for introduction is The Magic Klorofil Tree. If you are a child of the 70′s, chances are you had first hand experience with the orginal verison of this toy. The Magic Klorofil Tree has been bought up to date for our tech savvy children and once again set to become a favourite for a whole new generation. Now electronic, when the tree is opened up you hear the sound of birds singing and a running river…But what hasn’t changed are the endless possibilities for children to use their imaginations, role playing and creating from the simple things of day to day living.  Pastel Pink will have limited stock arriving December 1 – so if you want this magical toy under your Christmas Tree this year, make sure you pre-order now to avoid disappointment.

If you are a regular KidStyleFile reader, I’m sure you’re up to date with the very famous ‘Sophie’ the Giraffe. This delightful teething toy has taken the world by storm and become a must have item for yummy mummy’s right across the globe (celebrity or not!). What you may not know is that Sophie has friends!! Oh yes!  Like Sophie, ‘Chan’, ‘Pie’ and ‘Gnon’ (‘champignon – get it?) are made in France from 100 % natural rubber and non toxic paint.

Sophie is in residence at one of my girlfriends houses, and my little girl just loves to get her hands on her if she can! These toys are easy to grasp and grip and make a very happy squeak when squeezed.  If you have a baby in your world to buy for this year, I would seriously consider one of these delightful toys from Vulli.

And the last introduction of today is from top brand Envirosax. Because they have so many fans (of which, I am one) it would be hard not to have heard of Envirosax before.  But you may not have seen the brand new collection designed with stylish mums in mind.  Check out the new pouch featuring designs La Boheme (pictured below at #3).  This pouch would make a stylish and practical Christmas gift this year.

On a mission to help educate our kids about the benefits of re-use (especially at Christmas-time when we all tend to get a little gift wrap happy), Pastel Pink have a great offer on Envirosax: purchase any 3 x Kids Series bags and Pastel Pink will give FREE Kids Pouch. Because they are used over and over, Envirosax make a great little gift that just keeps on giving!  And because they are so stylish, you could even consider putting presents inside and using them as wrapping paper!  To get your free pouch, simply select your three kids Envirosax and then add the FREE Pouch to your shopping cart.

Breast cancer.  Two words which send shivers down my spine. It’s real. It affects so many Australian women and their families every day. We all know, or know of someone, who it has directly affected, and indirectly it touches us all.

Today is Pink Ribbon Day, the Australian Cancer Council’s major fundraising activity to raise money and awareness for women affected by cancer, and to draw attention to the importance of early detection.

Pastel Pink- www.pastelpink.com.au – is supporting the cause all this week and will donate $1.00 from every order placed until midnight 31 October 2009. By supporting this initiative you’ll also receive 20% off store wide and FREE pink gift! Enter the code ‘KSF-PINK’ at checkout to redeem.

If you’re in need of booties for your little one take special note of the new SKEANIE ‘Love me’ shoes. These shoes were especially designed for the McGrath Foundation, which supports breast care nurses in rural and regional Australia and educates young women to be breast cancer aware, so when your little blossom wears these shoes, not only will she look stunning, but she will be helping others.

All orders that include the SKEANIE Love Me shoes will automatically receive free shipping on the total order until midnight 31 October 2009.

There’s a huge range of fashion, toys, and accessories to choose from for babies, boys and girls, as well as yummy goodies for mums too (jewellery, bags, throws and toiletries) in all the colours of the rainbow, but the colour of the week is most certainly pink so I have prepared a spectrum of shades for your perusal.

As of May 4, South Australia blazed the trail for Australia by being the first state to ban lightweight checkout-style plastic bags. With this initiative there will be almost 400 million less plastic bags in South Australia.

Many countries around the world have moved to eradicate plastic bags due to their damaging environmental impact, and I am sure that the rest of Australia won’t be far behind South Australia.

Australian company Envirosax are a world leader in light-as-a-feather, robust, go-anywhere eco bags, and they offer a smorgasboard of beautiful designs for every taste. Retro? Botanical? Chic? Kiddy-cute? Why choose – have one of each! Starting at a mere $9.95 each (or $42.95 for a five-bag pouch) you cannot go wrong.

Cheryl at Adelaide-based Pastel Pink – www.pastelpink.com.au – got on board early with Envirosax, and is offering KidStyleFile readers a very special opportunity to snaffle up some bags and save a buck or two while also saving the planet.

Here’s the deal:

• Buy an Envirosax 5-Bag Set with Pouch and enter code ‘KSF-ECO’ at checkout to receive FREE shipping
  Buy 5 individual Envirosax and enter code  ‘KSF-ECO’ at checkout to receive FREE shipping
  
• In addition, the first 15 orders of the above products who enter the code as above will receive a FREE Envirosax in addition to the free postage – very nice, Chez!
• End date for this promotion is midnight Friday 15 May 2009.

Also, don’t forget to sign up to the Pastel Pink Newsletter and place your first order to join ‘Club Pink’ and receive 15% offall subsequent orders (before postage is applied). If you have placed an order with PP before all you have to do is make sure you are signed up to the newsletter and you’ll get 15% off automatically – woo!

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!
