2. Cheryl at Pastel Pink is offering KidStyleFile readers an additional 25% off storewide*!! This offer is good for the next seven days only until midnight September 7 only, so get in quickly! Enter KSF-7SALE at checkout to claim this fantastic discount.

3. Orders of over $150 get FREE SHIPPING!

4. If you’re after Huggalugs, Cheryl is giving you the choice of whether to use the 25% discount or to take advantage of the Huggalugs special offer: buy two, get the third pair FREE!

All of that is guaranteed to have you champing at the bit. Here are some of my fave finds to inspire you further.

I love the Alimrose bibs and squeakers - they’re absolutely perfect as gifts for a new baby or for a baby shower with their sweet designs and lovely fabrics.

There are some brilliant discounts across the range of Gaia Organic Cotton. Mums of boys, check out the Gaia print range - cute, and at these prices, incredible value!!

The Hess-Spielzeug money boxes are a prime choice to snap up now at cheap-as-chips prices and put away for Christmas. Adorable, beautifully made and a neat idea for encouraging kids to save their coins for something special.

Little Chipipi have added to their range of wall stickers with some fantastic new designs! They also come in brand new Little Chipipi gift boxes. See the range here.

Have a look at the already-heavily-discounted range of Mitsy handbags and the Elk necklaces. Something to suit everyone’s taste here, especially at these prices!

New at Pastel Pink are the Aden + Anais wraps and lightweight blankets (I can recommend the wraps, at 120×120 they’re big enough to wrap even the wriggliest baby!), the ever-popular Cocoon Couture and Kiddysac - and don’t forget that you can take 25% off all of this for the next seven days!

Have you looked at the calendar lately? I just did, and Easter is approaching fast! Good Friday is happening on March 21 this year, so you (and me!) only have a couple of weeks to get your shopping done.

We’re in luck though, as rewards are to be had for savvy early-bird bunnies who plan ahead and shop at Pastel Pink - www.pastelpink.com.au

Cheryl at Pastel Pink knows just what we need, and she is offering the sweetest Easter deals exclusively to KidStyleFile readers.

Buy any Gertie and Me Bunny for your child for Easter and receive a FREE Emotion and Kids 3 pack of quality socks (RRP $11) in your choice of Pale Blue, Pink, Navy or Red!! Superb!

The super-soft buns range between $24.95-$29.95. View the delightful selection you have to choose from here.

I highly recommend Gertie and Me. We have both the waffle-fabric toys and the velour bunnies in our home - the velour softness of the bunnies is sooo divine, and the design is just perfect for little hands - and I gift them often (just sent one to Germany); they’re classy, friendly and affordable.

While you’re shopping, why not pick up a pressie for yourself?

Pastel Pink currently has kikki.K products* on sale for 30% off, and if you purchase 3 pieces or more you get to choose a FREE pack of kikki.K Sticky Notes in either the ‘Animal‘ or ‘Fashion‘ designs. *Including kikki-K Recipe Book, Baby Journal, My Friends, My Wedding (all pictured below), and My Dream Home, My Bills, My Receipts, My Pregnancy, My Recipes and Sticky Notes (not pictured).

That’s just what I need to get myself organised as the weather cools. (I’m not too inclined to spend the Winter months cooped inside surrounded by indescribably bad clutter; aesthetically pleasing organisational tools might just inspire me to tidy and brighten up my space).

Pastel Pink’s Summer Sale also still has some Oobi (including the iconic Cable Knit Bear Hat with Ears Beanies and matching Cable Knit Booties for just $20.97 apiece; snap up these and grab a true bargain for Autumn/Winter), and Gaia Organic Cotton separates for the bebes, and Mitsy jewellery and bags for the Mamas (hey, Mother’s Day isn’t that far away either; you can justify it

Pastel Pink also stock David Fussenegger, Elk Designs, Skeanies, Alimrose, Hess-Spielzeug, Cold Coffee and FlatOut Australia etc. Winter stock is arriving soon, so keep your eyes on the Pastel Pink site for regular additions.

Mention ‘KSF’ in the notes section at checkout, together with your preference for sock colour/Sticky Notes, to receive your gorgeous gift with purchase. This offer is available until stock runs out; there is limited availability so binky on over to Pastel Pink to score!
