Don’t Be A Banana, Get To The Metro Mum Crazy Monkey Sale: Up to 70% Off + An EXTRA 5% Discount For KSF Readers

Posted: January 15th, 2012

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

One of the first stores that I came across as a first time mum was Metro Mum – www.metromum.com.au. Despite the obligatory new mum sleepless haze, I knew that I had found a gem in this online boutique. Metro Mum helped eliminate the guesswork out of being a first time mum by providing me with modern, quality choices for all my baby needs. It is so much more than a baby boutique though: from mum and dad, to babies and bigger kids too, Metro Mum has a stylish and innovative range of products for the whole family!

Right now is a stellar time to visit Metro Mum because their Crazy Monkey Sale is currently in full swing. With savings of up to 70% off a huge range of quality items, this is the perfect time to stock up. If you have new baby on the way and are on the hunt for a quality pram then take a look at the Mimi Xari Pram. With its patented “carrycot inside” system, the seat can be easily converted into a carrycot by simply unzipping the seat unit – perfect for transporting your baby with minimum disruption. It was $1099.00, but if you move fast you can pick it up on sale for $879.00. If you are looking for a newborn baby gift, check out the Alimrose Design range. These coveted baby toys have all been heavily discounted at Metro Mum as part of the Crazy Monkey Sale. Reduced by over 50% to a tiny $12.50, the Alimrose Bobby Bunny Toy Rattle represents excellent value for money and makes a cute little newborn gift for friends.

Thanks to our monkey friend at Metro Mum, another 5% off has been peeled off all Crazy Monkey Sale items already reduced by up to 70% just for KSF readers. Simply enter BANANAS at the checkout to receive a further 5% off already reduced items. You will have to move quickly because the extra discount offer ends midnight 20 January 2012, and all sale items are strictly while stocks last. Metro Mum also has a fab competition running at the moment: catch the cheeky Golden Monkey who has been misbehaving and has now gone into hiding to win a $200 Metro Mum gift voucher. If you want to beat others to the reward then ‘Like’ Metro Mum on Facebook for insider information on how to track him down!

I am seriously enamoured of the beautiful and classic Le Toy Van Wooden London Bus w/ Driver which will allow for hours of fun for the kids and look stunning as a decor piece in between playtimes. Monopoly Christmas-opoly will give slightly older families a chance to sit down and spend some Christmas quality time together, and the Il Tutto Neon bags are a present every mum will love – they’re high on my shopping list but I still can’t decide which colour I like best!

Bubba Funk Massive Pre-Christmas Sale: 40% Off Storewide Including Sale Items Already Up To 50% Off

Posted: November 27th, 2011

Written by Miki

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

Christmas has come early this year – it really has!!! I just got news of an *incredible* sale and once you scope it out I’m sure you’ll agree with me.

Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – is giving KidStyleFile readers a whopping 40% off store-wide (excluding il Tutto, but don’t despair; read on). The code to use at checkout is KSF40off, but be sure to use it by 1 December 2011 as this sale is only for a very short time. The discount code can even be used in Bubba Funk’s sale section where you’ll find loads of products already discounted by up to 50%.

The one brand the discount code doesn’t apply to, Il Tutto, has an offer all of its own.  Buy any Il Tutto product, and spend at least $200 in that transaction, to receive an Il Tutto Monster Teddy key ring in your choice of red or cream.  These luxe key rings are gorgeous – I received one as a special gift a couple of years ago and I use it as an identifying tag on my suitcase when I travel as the large red monster teddy makes spotting my bag on the carousel a breeze.  I love the new Il Tutto Neon Mini Bags, especially the Berry colourway; it’s high on my wish list this year!  The size is perfect to take out and about with a toddler or preschooler as it  fits the essential items I need anytime I leave the house with the kids: eftpos card, iPhone, spare undies (for them, not me – honest!), muesli bars and a couple of little toy cars for distractions in bank queues or cafes.

Personally, I think I might use the discount code to buy Christmas outfits for my kids.  I’m drawn to the Woof! Patchwork Check Short in Tomato which might just be the cutest boys’ shorts I’ve seen this season, and look great with the Polka Admiral Hooded Singlet which is already 40% off even before the discount code is applied!  For girls I think the 3 Pommes Collector Dress in Black is hip, and the Fox & Finch Spot Voile Frilly Top would look gorgeous worn with the Three Pocket Denim Short from the same collection.

Making Christmas Easier… And Cheaper! Design Child Offers Great Gift Suggestions + 25% Off Storewide For *48 Hours Only*

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

Need to get organised for Christmas?  Don’t fret, because Design Child – www.designchild.com.au – makes it easy.  They have gift ideas for all the little people in your life, and they’ve even smoothed the path by offering their best gift suggestions as pictured in the image collage below.

Take the new girlswear range from Peggy for example. Beautifully exotic prints combined with classic cuts make for the kinds of pieces that will make your little girl the belle of any ball – or the playground, come to that.  The Uber French ‘Nina’ Doll is another standout gift idea – at a whopping one metre tall she’ll be your girl’s best friend for years to come.  Boys also have plenty to go crazy over, including the many sets of mini suitcases available.  My boys both love putting things inside cases and carrying them around, and suitcases this good-looking can double as decor pieces. Also, have you seen the ingenious Fruut toy storage system?  It’s so stylish you won’t need any other decor in your kid’s room, and so practical that it makes tidying toys up easier than ever before. Each Fruut sack doubles as a playmat, and when the toys are finished with you simply pull the drawstring tight and hang it on the tree!  And even mums and tweens are looked after here – just see the bottom of the image collage for some fabulous ideas, including the OTi 2012 organiser that so many women rave about.

To help you keep the budget under control, Design Child has even offered some suggestions within certain price brackets.  For under $25 they suggest the Owl Bookends which are brand new in-store and are seriously cute for boys or girls.  Under $35 the DwellStudio Farm Stamp Set is gorgeous and will provide for hours of fun – your kids can even create your own greeting cards and wrapping paper using the stamps.  The Uber French Mes Jouets Toy Box is under $45 and it’s fantastic – large, strong, easy to clean and stores flat.

For 48 hours only, spend $100 at Design Child (excluding shipping) and receive 25% off! This offer even includes sale stock – although furniture, prints and special orders are not included. Enter the code KSF25XMAS at checkout to redeem your discount, but make sure you do it before 10am AEST Thursday 10 November 2011, as this offer is very strictly for two days only.  There’s more though – there’s a free gift worth $7.95 for all Design Child Facebook ‘likers’ who place an order of $120 or more.  This offer continues until stocks run out – yay!

Bubba Funk Delivers The Goods: New Season Arrivals *PLUS* 20% off Store Wide Including Sale Items Reduced By Up To 70% Off!!!

Posted: September 18th, 2011

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Today is the perfect day to celebrate the arrival of blue skies, longer days and sweet smelling blooms. Take the kidlets to the park and enjoy the sunshine. With such excitement throughout the day, hopefully they’ll fall into a much needed slumber as their heads hit the pillow and their bedtime can provide you with time to engage in some much deserved retail therapy. KidStyleFile has the perfect place for items for both you and your kidlets, with savings you’ll love. Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – is a mecca for all things stylish from new season threads to yummy mummy delights and even cool daddy items.

Right now my focus is on the new Il Tutto Nico in red for $249.95. I’m barely able to contain my excitement for its arrival at Bubba Funk. With Il Tutto’s famous waterproof lining and the signature monster teddy (I just love the new metallic silver colouring with splashes of red), all the amazing features of much-loved predecessors have been maintained. What’s more, this fabulous bag has been shortlisted for Best Changing Bag in the Junior Design Awards 2011 and is currently a finalist in the Practical Parenting Magazine Awards for Changing Bags. For me, this just reinforces my belief that Il Tutto know exactly what’s needed in a Nico to make it both extremely stylish and totally functional.

Spring calls for new season arrivals. The Bebe Abby Sleeveless A-Line Dress – Blue Wave is my pick of the bunch  for baby girls to 18 months. For bigger girls, the Fox and Finch Printed Underlay Dress has lovely flower detailing that will catch your eye. Boys don’t miss out, and I must say I am besotted with the Woof! Checked Boardies in Mustard which are ever so cool. Oh yes, a little shopping is on the horizon.

From today, right through until 9 October 2011, the Bubba Funk team are offering all KSF readers 20% off *STOREWIDE* including both new season clothing and sale items already reduced by up to 70%, while stocks last. To take advantage of this great deal, simply fill up your shopping cart, head to the checkout and enter discount code ksf20off. Voila, instant discount!  Now that’s a great start to the week! Note: This offer excludes il Tutto ‘Nico’ bags.

Metro Mum Bonanza: 20% Off Tidy Books & Puj, 15% Off Breastfeeding Products, 10% Off Koochu + 15% Off Nearly All Other Full Priced Products!

Posted: August 22nd, 2011

Post written by Miki

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

It’s my favourite week of the school year: Book Week!  As a kid I adored dressing up as my favourite character, and as a teenager I loved getting to attend workshops and readings from some of the best Australian authors. As a parent I now get to enjoy it all over again by building up the enthusiasm in my household – we’re significantly upping the number of bedtime stories this week, and doing lots of talking about our favourite books and why we love them.

Also loving Book Week are the team at Metro Mum – www.metromum.com.au.  To get into the spirit, they’ve discounted the gorgeous Tidy Books bookshelf products by a whopping 20% (trust me, you very rarely see these discounted *anywhere* and certainly not by this much).  I’ve been coveting a Tidy Books bookshelf ever since I first saw them; I love the way children’s picture books are displayed forwards, making it easy for the kids to choose their favourites, and the shelves look great in nurseries and playrooms. Metro Mum also stocks a lovely range of books for children and babies, so you can buy your kids a bookshelf at a discount, and then use your savings to fill it with books!

When shopping at Metro Mum, I always have to have a look at their nappy bag selection – these girls just know how to choose nappy bags.  Whether it’s Il Tutto (have you seen the amazing Nico in red now available for pre-order?), Isoki, Allerhand, Mia Bossi, Storksak or one of the many other amazing brands of nappy bag on offer, there’s always something – okay, let’s be honest, many somethings - I simply can’t live without. This week’s must-have for me is the Catalina nappy bag by Koochu, which would somehow turn even jeans and a t-shirt into a stylishly pulled-together outfit, and even better is that all Koochu nappy bags are currently discounted by 10%. Dads don’t have to miss out either, as many of the Dadgear Messenger Bags have been marked down to $99 each – bargain!

Also at Metro Mum right now you can save 20% on a Puj Tub, save 15% on all breastfeeding products, and orders over $50 will net you a FREE Mother Minder Bracelet valued at $8.95. Plus the *new* storage solutions from Boon have arrived and they’re just as hip as you might have imagined. The design team at Boon have got to be geniuses, they just get it right every time.

For 48 hours only, take 15% off storewide (excluding furniture, sale items and gift vouchers). The code to use at checkout is KSF15, but it ends at 5pm AEST 24 August 2011 so be quick. You also have the opportunity to WIN a Pixifoto package worth $995 or a Dadgear Messenger Bag valued at $145. See here for details on how to enter. 

Metro Mum Bonanza: 20% Off Tidy Books & Puj, 15% Off Breastfeeding Products, 10% Off Koochu + 15% Off Nearly All Other Full Priced Products!The 15% discount is available with code KSF15, and expires 24 August 2011 at 5pm. All other offers end 31 August 2011. All offers while stocks last only.
