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!

 Remember you can take 25% off the prices below when you spend $100 or more in one order (ends 10am AEST Thursday 10 November 2011); enter KSF25XMAS at checkout to redeem.

Welcome to the week, KidStyleFilers! While I know many of you can boast that the first weekend of spring offered you glorious sunshine to play in, I was stuck inside as it literally poured all weekend where I live. It’s no sob story from me though, because as well as converting our lounge room into an enormous cubby, hours of Lego and countless games of Uno, our wet weekend offered this mummy plenty of time to browse through all the happy new arrivals over at Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au.

There is a gorgeous new bounty of goodies to keep your little people up with the latest style for spring and summer. First mention goes to the rocking new selection of girls wear from the likes of Amber, Annika and Peach & Cream and – oh my! – if you weren’t yet dreaming of summer, what these three new labels offer for your little girl will have you there in a flash! Think vintage-inspired cuts, floral fabrics and some lace for finishing touches, and you will be on the page of beautiful and feminine designs these labels have to offer.

Though I wouldn’t expect anything less, what BIG by Fiona Scanlan offers for little ladies this season is big! The new arrivals embrace beautiful fabrics, are so aesthetically pleasing and yet somehow remain so totally wearable. (Yes: like *a lot*!)

There is more fabulous floral from label Peggy who have seriously delivered on style for babies this season. Check out the wee babe pictured below in the Peggy Polo crazy dots playsuit matched with the Polo crazy dots peggy hat – what a cutie pie! New arrivals too for your precious little ones the likes of  Bebe, Pure Baby as well as some lovely new wooden toys and puzzles by John Crane.

While we’re talking about babies, there is a delightful new collection of soft, squeaky toys from Alimrose Designs.will As we have come to expect from this brand, every one is totally adorable, though if you have a pink bundle arriving soon that you’d like to snap one up for – check out the Kitty Cat soft toy who just looks so pretty in her springtime dress.

For boys I think the stand out new items at Baby’s Got Style are from the lovable likes of Little Horn. I love the oodles of fun this label seem to infuse into each garment they design, and my boys always love it too. For some quirk for your little man try the Mo tee or if you have a little guy that seems to be continuously followed by the words “uh oh” then the Little Horn Uh! Oh! Tee be a good match for him!

After a weekend stuck inside, I have fallen in love with the Almond Tree – Family Rules bus roll which is a seriously stylish way to display some family rules. What a beautiful idea!

Huge shout out today as Baby’s Got Style are not only delivering you all this beautiful new style; they have up to 70% off in their sale warehouse, they give away $200 gift voucher every week to one of their newsletter subscribers and – wait for it! – for 1 week only, Baby’s Got Style are giving *you* the chance to win $2,000.00 worth of diamonds!

Suffering a little Mondayitis? Let me awaken your sense of adventure with a quick walk through the latest collections from one of summers hottest online stores around Baby’s Got Style Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au.  Here you will find the most stylish items from all the baby and kids brands you have come to love and more! Daniela’s eclectic mix of items ensure that there is something here for every budget and every style genre. A number of new season ranges have just arrived including Rock Your Baby, Munster, Peggy, Cheeky Monkey, Small Paul, Sparkle T and Precious L’il Things.

I have been waiting impatiently for the latest range from Rock Your Baby. So obsessed with this range, I had already added the Audrey dress, Hanging with my Gnomies,  and Ruffled Short Sleeve T-Shirt to my summer must haves before they were even available.  An Australian brand, I can easily justify these purchases to my Dear Husband by explaining that I am supporting the Australian economy! For me, the colours, patterns and originality of the range, as well as their moderate price tag makes them an ideal addition to both Master R and Miss N’s wardrobe. Ohhh, and I can’t move on without mentioning the straw fedora. Check it out!!

A pre-requisite for any stylish outfit is footwear. Shoes can either make or break an outfit (think of all the Oscar red carpets when some of our favourite actresses find themselves in the worst dressed column as a consequence of their poor shoe choice!). When your toddler is first starting to walk, finding the perfect shoe can be a nightmare. Look no further than Cheeky Little Soles. Not only do these soft soled pre-walkers protect your bubs little feet, they look great too. Both my munchkins have worn these, and I love that they can be washed so easily and are not easily removed by curious fingers! In the spirit of Christmas, Cheeky Little Soles have a special treat for you! Purchase anything from the range and receive a free gift!!

Every year since I have become a mother, I have tried to create personalised Christmas cards for family and friends. It’s the one time of year I make a pointed exercise of picking up a pen and writing something down, rather than typing and pressing send. Baby’s Got Style has taken all the hard work out of this yearly job for me through their own range of personalised cards. You simply choose your preferred style, collect a few images of your family, send them through and then sit back and wait for them to arrive! Voila!

Did you have a favourite stuffed toy growing up? I had a one and he frightened all my scary fears away each night, listened to my dreams and provided comfort during every thunderstorm that blew past. When I saw Small Paul Crochet Julius I was drawn back to that period! Isn’t he just the perfect pal for your little one? I can see Master R cycling around with Julius sitting on the handle bars or getting up to a little mischief together.

For girls don’t miss new brand Peggy. In particular, the Lilac Floral Playsuit has me humming for summer. Made from cotton, with gorgeous smocking and back bodice this whimsical, sublime playsuit will have you packing the car for a trip to the park. With a matching sunhat, you may even find yourself buying a bucket and spade and heading for the beach.

Make sure you’re subscribed to the Baby’s Got Style mailing list, as BGS give away a $200 gift voucher to one lucky subscriber twice a month now once a week!!!
