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.

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!

Though they are not included in the sale, as the mother of a baby girl after two very boyish boys, I couldn’t help but include the scrumptiously feminine Princess Ratbag Pettiskirts.

Now listen up people, because I have big news and I’m only going to say it once: The Hip Infant’s – www.thehipinfant.com.au – End Of Financial Year sale begins on Monday 15 June, where there will be 20% off store-wide, including sale stock! “Great!”, I hear you say “But I have to wait until *Monday*???”

Ok, I’ll knock off the tease: of course you don’t!! KSF readers are shopping royalty, and Mel at The Hip Infant is opening her sale early for us, with three days of pre-sale shopping all to ourselves!!! YES!!!

Use the code ‘KSF-SALETIME’ at checkout from now until 22 June 2009 to score a juicy 20% discount on everything at The Hip Infant. This is a genuine once a year sale – if you wait for another discount like this you’ll be waiting 12 months, so get out that credit card and hurry on in!

Ever since I first discovered the magical world of online shopping for babies and kids, I’ve been a fan of The Hip Infant – www.thehipinfant.com.au. So given my infatuation with the store, it was only natural that when I found out that I was pregnant with my second baby I did my big ‘setting up the nursery’ shop at The Hip Infant.

Mel, who runs the show, is a mum of four and a former neonatal nurse, so she really knows what she’s on about and it shows in the selection of products she chooses to stock. Whether you want clothing for your tot, decor or bedding for the nursery, toys or accessories, you are guaranteed to find it here.  What I love about THI is that Mel stocks just as much for boys as she does for girls – yay for equality!

Not only that, but Mel designs a couple of ranges of her own: if you don’t own any Coco & Eli or The Hip Infant Basics yet, I’d like to know why not!  I bought the Coco & Eli Cot Bedding Set in Blue Buttermilk Birds (no. 1 below) for my bub, and it is divine: deliciously soft 100% cotton jersey fabric, the colour is just the right mix of sweetly soothing and childishly playful, and how sweet are the little birds?  You can also get baby clothing and wraps in the same print – I recommend the wraps; I bought some of them too and they’re an excellent size. Any mum knows that there’s nothing worse than a too-small wrap.

This sale also marks the biggest discount I have ever seen on the coveted Tip Toey Joey pre-walker shoes. Lap it up! Also pick yourself up a new, limited edition, Tipu Tiger Trunki at 20% off – fabulous!

Have a look at the image collage below to get some idea of the vast range available at The Hip Infant, and check out the massive list of brands stocked at the bottom of this post.  And happy shopping!  Remember, it’ll be another year before this discount rolls around again…

The prices quoted in red below are after the 20% KSF discount using the code ‘KSF-SALETIME’ has been applied. This offer expires 22 June 2009.
