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.

The prices below are valid using the code KSF40off until 1 December 2011.

Ooh I love it when Mariana at Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – throws a sale.  There’s always so much good stuff included, and it’s always marked down so dramatically!  The current sale is no exception but don’t take my word for it, check it out yourself!

You see, Mariana has discounted a vast array of current season winter gear by 30% or more, including Bebe by Minihaha, Confetti, Freshbaked, Woof!, Fox & Finch, Bonds and more.  You’ll also find Walnut boots for boys and girls at 30% off, along with the coveted ISOKI nappy bags which are also discounted by 30%.  In addition, the sale section still has a fab array of Summer 10/11 which has all been marked down to half price – I’m planning to grab some bits and bobs to store away for this coming summer and for Christmas presents.

This is the really amazing part though: right now you can take an extra 30% off storewide *including sale prices*  – this means that you can grab *up to 80% off* right now!! All you have to do is enter the the code KSF-30 at checkout!  This code is valid while stocks last until 31 July 2011, so use it well!

This code brings prices down so low it is almost unbelievable.  For example, Bebe by Minihaha hats and booties are now down to $7.35 (nope, not a typo), and Walnut boots are below half price!  For girls I love everything about the Confetti Country Cardigan, and how utterly adorable is the Bebe Polly Swing Coat in lavender?!  Boys are just as well catered for with the classic Bebe Nathan Canvas Pea Coat, and I love that it coordinates with the rest of the Nathan range without being too ‘matchy’.  I’ve also been eyeing off the Polka My Power Knit, and given that it was $79.95 and is now $27.97 after the extra discount, it would be beyond silly not to snap it up!  Into my cart it goes…

The prices below are valid using the code KSF-30 until 31 July 2011.

1. Polka My Power Knit, $79.95 $39.96 less 30% = $27.97
2. Polka Waistcoat – Grey, $79.95 $47.97 less 30% = $33.57
3. Walnut Boys Short Leather Boots – Chocolate, $64.95 $45.47 less 30% = $31.82
4. Bebe Nathan Striped Beanie – Even Stripe, $27.00 $18.90 less 30% = $13.23
5. Bebe Nathan Canvas Pea Coat – Dune, $59.90 $41.93 less 30% = $29.35
6. Bebe Nathan 5 Pocket Denim Pant – Blue/Black, $53.00 $31.10 less 30% = $21.77
7. ISOKI Reversible Saddle Tote Bag – Bohemian, $199.95 $139.97 less 30% = $97.97
8. Bebe Polly Swing Coat – Lavender, $59.90 $41.93 less 30% = $29.35
9. Walnut Girls Long Boot – Tan, $79.95 $55.97 less 30% = $39.17
10. Bebe Kylie Round Hat, $15.00 $10.50 less 30% = $7.35; Bebe Kylie Cuffed Booties, $15.00 $10.50 less 30% = $7.35
11. Confetti Country Cardigan, $79.95 $55.97 less 30% = $39.17
