Okay people, we’re a week into December now, and that means it’s crunch time.  Shopping centres are manic, department stores are packed to the gills (and don’t even get me started on the girls who squirt perfume at me as I try to get past them), toy stores are full of frazzled mums and screaming children, and just to get to these places you have to spend 45 minutes vying for a parking space.

No thank you very much!  Instead of putting myself through all that, I’m doing all my shopping online this Christmas and where better to start than the iconic Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au.

BGS have one of the largest and most stylish selections of childrenswear, accessories, toys and gifts online in Australia, which means it’s a perfect place to do your Christmas shopping. At any given time there are always loads of new products to browse through which makes it a wonderful online destination. When you add in the stylish packaging and next day delivery, it’s no wonder the site is so beloved of parents everywhere.

At the moment I’m very taken with the new range of tees from Miatom and Little Horn, with hip options for boys and girls. BIG by Fiona Scanlan also have some pretty summer tops for girls with a striking rosette feature.

I am also impressed with the new range of ‘eating out’ accessories from Oopsie, who have released insulated lunch boxes, bottle holders and a very useful multi bag.  What I particularly like about the Oopsie range is how they’ve taken two prints which tend to be fairly gender specific – vespa scooters and birds – and reversed the colours (red vespas and blue birds, rather than the more typical vice versa), making them unique and stylishly unisex. Inspired!

Now what about Christmas stocking stuffers?  Absolutely sorted here, with Giddy Giddy hair clips, wooden board books, a stylish bib or two, or how about an extremely funky Alex & Charli drink bottle?  Personally I’ve just placed an order for the Alimrose Handsqueeker and Bib, both in the soldier design, for my three month old’s stocking and can’t wait to receive them!

In addition to all the fabulous new stock in store you can scoop up some great bargains at up to 40% off in the Baby’s Got Style Sale warehouse. Click here for reductions for babies, and here for and kids pieces. Also, make absolutely sure you’re signed up to the Baby’s Got Style newsletter, as every week they give away a $200 gift voucher to a lucky subscriber! Wow!

1. Giddy Giddy Hair Clips, $9.95ea
2. Tees: Miatom Guitar Tee, $27.95; Little Horn ‘Donkey Kicks’ Tee, $39.95
3. Oopsie ‘Food On The Go’ Accessories, from $20.95
4. French Bull ‘Monsters’ Dinnerware, from $9.95
5. Wooden Picture Book – Fruit, $4.95

Goodness gracious me, I just can’t keep up with all the happenings at Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au.

Not only are there those three new brands instore, but also a whole host of stunning new products from existing labels as well.  You can’t miss the hairclips from Giddy Giddy, new shoes from Walnut, tees from BLiNK design (see below for the Tie Print tee, I’m coveting it for my boys), sweet little charms from Cocoon Couture, and a new shipment from Bluebird & Honey.

Goodness me! When Terri at Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au – decides to mark down her stock for the annual winter clearance, she certainly doesn’t do it by halves!

In fact, I think Terri has read my mind, because she’s managed to generously mark down all the brands I love best at her beautiful, beautiful store:

25% off new season Bebe by Minihaha clothing & shoes
25% off all new season Sooki Baby
25-40% of selected Baobab
25% off new season Purebaby
25% off new season Plum
25% off new season Gaia Organic Cotton
25% off selected Bonds

See? What’s not to love there? BUT, my friends, things get even better for KidStyleFile readers!

Not only do we get those discounts, we can also take an extra 15% off store-wide using the code ‘ksf-take15′ until 26 June 2009. That brings the savings up to 50% off – and don’t forget we’re talking about new season’s fashion in hugely sought after brands here!

On top of these discounts, if you spend over $65 in one transaction (excluding postage) Terri will give you an incredibly divine, snuggly Gertie & Me Bunny valued at $28.95.  The bunny offer is valid only while stocks last, so you don’t want to dally around too much.

New in at Little Styles are some seriously gorgeous gift sets.  They come in a range of prices to suit most budgets, and are such a lovely baby shower or new baby gift! They consist of a range of beautiful and useful products from top brands (including Alimrose and Marquise), and come packaged in adorable little keepsake suitcases – too cute!

I am also really quite taken with some of the other new products here, including the ingenious Bbox – such a nifty idea that I bet anyone who has one doesn’t know what they did without one!  The Giddy Giddy hairclips and accessories are so sweet, as are the Flipsy Flopsy Dolls and the Albetta range.  And the Milk Baby skincare range looks just heavenly, and I do mean ‘looks’ – the packaging is incredibly stylish, and the products themselves sound just wonderful!

It’s a chilly old spring this year, isn’t it?  I’ve just had a look at a weather forecast chart for Australia, and there’s not one capital city without a little cloud or rain picture hanging over them for today.

That’d be fine – heck, we can use the rain! – but if your kids have grown out of last winter’s raincoats and boots, like mine has, you’ll be a bit stuck because they’re hard to find at this time of year.

Luckily for us Kinder Kaboodle - www.kinderkaboodle.com.au – comes to the rescue.  Not only do they stock ravishing rainwear (Smelly Welly, Western Chief and Penny Scallan among others) but it’s discounted at 20% off!

It’s rare to find top brands like this at less than full price so snap ‘em up while they’re hot!  Be smart and buy for next winter as well while you’re at it.

Kinder Kaboodle always stock the latest and best in gear for kinder, pre-school, childcare and school. There’s currently a heap of new goodies to feast your eyes upon, for example the totally adorable new hair clips and accessories from Giddy Giddy – huge range and really affordable.

The new Charlie & Lola range from the popular ABC TV series and the books by Lauren Child will also be a winner – put some of it away for Christmas and you know there’ll be huge smiles on the day.

I think my absolute favourite at Kinder Kaboodle right now is the brand new Bazoongi Kids Mushroom Play House – check it out!  How fantastic is that?!  Boys and girls (and parents) alike will love this one, it’s a great size for mini tea parties and whispering secrets and giggles while being small enough to pack away compactly when it’s not in use.

If you want a 15% discount storewide – including sale items!! – then grab a copy of Shop4Kids magazine for the magic code inside.  If you can’t get hold of the mag, then watch out for the code, included in tomorrow’s KidStyleFile newsletter (if you haven’t already subscriber, do so here).

A German company founded in 1921 dedicated to supporting the inherent healing properties of the human body, their motto is “In harmony with nature and the human being”. Wedela’s focus is firmly on the gentlest most nurturing care of your skin, without compromising nature – sustainability is paramount – and supporting the primary producers they trade with – Weleda contracts until Fair Trade practices. Wedela products are comprised of bio-dynamic ingredients, are free from chemicals, and are never tested on animals. You and your baby or child deserve no less, and with prices between $12-$26, you can well afford it!

To celebrate the arrival of Weleda at Baby’s Got Style, Daniela and the team at BGS are giving every customer who places an order in October a FREE Calendula Nappy Change cream sample.

Onto the fashion at Baby’s Got Style now. And boy, there’s a lot to talk about there!! Over 100 new kids summer styles, and over 200 babies summer styles have arrived in store in the last 2 weeks. Woah, baby! It’s going to be a hot summer!

I’m hugely loving Polka, a new range for girls. I’ve paired their Yoga Bum pants (back view shown: how cool are they?!) with a summery light Fresh Baked top, for a visual splendor of cool comfort, and their ‘Birdy’ dress is to die for. This is Polka’s first collection, and they had a limited run to test the water, which means once it’s sold out, that’s it, so get in quick!

I’m inspired by boys summer pieces too: I’m totally digging the Freshbaked Disco Beats Tee, with Ouch black cargoes and Rock Your Baby Peace Cap.

Onto face fashion now: new at Baby’s Got Style are the the range of kid’s sunnies from Frankie Ray; 100% UV protection with shatter proof lens, super cool, and suitable for the 4-14 set, you’ll be wishing you had a pair!

In the decor section are the most delightful large counting cards from Eeeboo. Simply beautiful!

If you’re looking for a gorgeous gift for a newborn you cannot go past Dwell Studio’s mind blocks. Tactile, visually stimulating and clever these are relevant from birth up until 2+ years.

Finally, as we’re heading into the out-and-about season, you’ll want to be prepared. Pick up a Dinky Diner, and you’ll be able to safely contain your little charge wherever you go – no more contending with icky highchairs in restaurants, or missing out on one altogether. The Dinky Diner folds up and fits right in your handbag. Neat!

In the picks below I’ve specified the sizes each product is in available in. If you’re browsing in general, I recommend that you use Baby’s Got Style like this:  select the ‘Babies’ tab for sizes 00000-2, The ‘Kids’ tab for sizes 3-8 , and the ‘Mum’s tab for Mums and Mums-to-be.

Also, don’t forget to check out the Sale items in each category. There are over 300 items on sale up to 50% off. Go to it!
