A hip hop, hippity hop …dance your way to a clearance sale where you will find some of your favourite brands slashed in price, but not in their certainty to add some hip styling to your kidlets wardrobe. Of course we’re talking about The Hip Infant – www.thehipinfant.com.au. Mel and her teams have been delivering hip style to babies and kids online since 2005 now, and with four kids under her belt Mel really know what a mum needs to make life with kids good!

Currently (and I say this as stock is selling super fast) within the clearance stock area, you will find 40% off all Ouch and Plum products,  20% off Pure Baby (excluding the essentials range) and a whopping 40% off Pure Baby sleeveless sleeping bags and 30% off Snugglebum as well as a wealth of other items, with price knockdowns of up to 75% off (more pieces have just been added, too, my eyes are popping out of my head here!!).

New to The Hip Infant is the super sweet label Buttermilk Baby. If you have a wee bub under 1 year you have trumped me, as the range is for infants up to a size 0. *Sigh*. They are just so cute that I’m thinking I’ll have to buy a few of these for some new arrivals in my friendship circle just to get my hands on them. They are truly refreshing, with that just hatched feel, and so easy to mix and match. I can see the current range as suitable for all year round as they are lightweight, yet warm enough to keep the chill off baby.

In addition to the bragains galore up to 75% off  in the Clearance section, Mel at The Hip Infant has a super hot offering to keep the frosty winter blues away: Aden + Anais dream blankets, winter warmth swaddles and hooded towels and all other stock (excluding those identified with New in the product title) are available to KSF readers at a unheard of 50% off simply by entering ‘KSF-wrap‘ at check out, while stocks last until 30 June 2010.

Ok, I admit it…I am a just a wee bit baby crazy! I just love tiny babies and squeal with delight when I hear news of a new arrival in the world.  So today, feel free to squeal with me, because Heather and Raj from Babies and Kids – www.babiesandkids.com.au are proud to announce a new arrival of their own — their new bricks and mortar store in Yarraville, Victoria! Yay!

Since they are moving their gorgeous range from a warehouse to the new store, Heather and Raj are having a big clear out to make room fitting out and showing off all their delights.  So while they do all the hard work – we can have all the fun!

Babies and Kids currently have 10-20% off top brands Bacche, Bright Bots, Max and Tilly, Minihaha, Bebe, Pink Chicken, Uttam Kids, Gaia Organic Cotton dresses, Baobab, Eternal creation, Books To Wear, ohme ohmi, Toetum, Minymo, Tiny Minymo and Yunginz shoes. PLUS on top of this, KSF readers are being offered a further 10% off store wide.  So that’s up to 30% off some current season stock!  This offer continues through until 1 January 2010. Enter discount code ‘santasale’ to receive your extra 10% discount.

If you are looking for a great buy, you might want to check out the new petite pettiskirts from leading brand Opsy Daisy Baby. They are perfect for wearing everyday — even to creche, kinder or school. The petite pettiskirt is lined, and although it has half the amount of fabric of the original pettiskirt, it retains all the softness, swishiness and beauty of the original pettiskirt.  Plus it’s a little more affordable too.

They also stock the very fantastic Peekaboo Bags. I fell in love with these on a family holiday earlier this year.  I couldn’t believe how captivated my little nephew was with this delightful toy – he was busy the whole flight!  The only drama that unfolded was with his older cousins who were whiny because they wanted a turn! If you have some long trips to do over the holiday season, or you need something to entertain a little on in a restaurant  these come highly recommended from me.

Prior to the proper fit-out taking place in January, Raj and Heather are aiming to set up temporary camp at the store (which will be located at 81 Gamon Steet Yarraville, Melbourne) for pre-Christmas sales by Monday December 14.  Contact Babies and Kids by phone on 1300 853 096, or shoot them a quick email to confirm that they are operational before you rock up.

Prices quoted in red below are only applicable with special KSF code (see above) until 1 January 2010.

You’ll be Rockin’ and a Rollin’ all night long with the funky upbeat threads you can pick up at My Baby Rocks – www.mybabyrocks.com.au -  this holiday season. There’s something to dress all the kids in, accessories galore and if you’re already thinking about the new year – some groovy bags for the new term.

Run Scotty Run is an Australian kids fashion label that kids love. Master R always points out their t-shirts when I’m scanning through the My Baby Rocks pages, and Miss N seems to be drawn to their colours.  I just love the tiered lollipop dress this summer, and I think you will too. The teal trim is delicious, and the thick band makes it just the right amount of grown up. Of course the Secret Agent range for boys is a must, especially with Sherlock Holmes coming once more to the Big Screen.

Bebe by Minihaha is another Australian kids fashion label that makes my heart flutter. The whole range is so sweet! I have always been a huge fan of the fabrics that breathe so well in the summer heat.  Bebe shows that blue can look fabulicious on a girl too, with cute finds such as Woven Peasant dress and Sophie Chambray dress.

New label L’Aurora is one to watch: their pillowcase dresses for girls are stunningly beautiful. Snap them up fast because I predict they’ll be hot property.

Do your kids have Christmas stockings? I can’t remember having them as kids, but of course as a thoroughly sentimental gushing Christmas mummy I have “made” both of my little munchkins one each to hand up for santa. The only problem? What to put in them? My Baby Rocks has that all covered in their Toys and Puzzles area with some great bargains that start at a mere $2.50. With that, I think I have Christmas almost wrapped up!

Mary from My Baby Rocks loves celebrating with a bang, so she has reduced a range of this summer’s stock by up to 40% (and you can nab selected last season’s stock at up to 50% off). What’s more, KSF readers can take a further 10% off store-wide at My Baby Rocks using the code “christmas” at checkout. Don’t slurp back your egg nog yet because there is more: the first 50 sales will receive a FREE novelty Christmas pencil to add to their booty. Be quick, this incredible offer expires on 18 December 2009!

1. Run Scotty Run Tired Lollipop Dress Was $54.95 $44.95 LESS 10% = $40.45
