Elizabeth at La Toriana – www.latoriana.com.au – has really let the festive season go to her head! I’m not sure whether it’s too much champagne or if she’s just feeling incredibly generous, but she has decided to give readers the most enormous pre-Christmas discount yet.  Are you ready for this?  Are you sure? Are you standing by with your credit card ready to pounce?

Because get this: Elizabeth has decided to mark down all full priced Oobi, Deshabille, BRITT, Miniwhisk, Thurlby Farm, Dolly Up, Huggalugs, Nanny Pickle and Penny Scallan by an extraordinary 35% (excluding sale items already reduced by up to 85%, and Tummy Bear). Use the discount code ‘Rudolph’ at checkout. Alternatively, you can get FREE shipping (with no minimum purchase amount) using the code ‘KSFpost’ at checkout. Both of these offers are valid until 10 December 2009 only, so go wild: they’re the last ones before Christmas!

There’s an awful lot to love at La Toriana at the moment, with some truly stunning labels on showcase.  There are the eternally popular Princess Ratbag pettiskirts, for example, which are adored by little girls all around Australia and fly off the shelves faster than the human eye can track!  And while we’re looking at pretty things for little princesses, take in the exquisite Tea Princess collection, which epitomises vintage chic.

I’m also quite taken by the range of aprons and tea towels by Ogilvie Designs.  High quality cotton and fun, eyecatching designs make these a winner, especially if you have a family BBQ on Christmas or Boxing Day.

If you’re looking for stocking fillers and bargains, make sure you look at the Specials section which is updated every Monday. You have to get in quick, considering that products in there are discounted by up to 85% off, they won’t last long! Cheers to that!

Lately I have scoffed at the lyrics to some of our favourite Christmas Carols. Initially, “Silent Night” made me giggle – certainly wasn’t written by a mother with a new born.

Yahoo! It’s the weekend, and it’s time to kick back, relax, and PLAY! There’s no better place to have a frolic today than Millie’s Playground – www.milliesplayground.com.au.

Millie’s Playground stocks baby and kids fashion, accessories, and toys for babies and kids from birth up to size 4 (soon to be up to size 8: stay tuned!), and can be found in bricks and mortar format nestled in the bucolic surrounds of the Huon Valley in Tasmania, and also now also online, which means the contents of this delightful store are now within reach whereever you may reside. (Don’tcha just *love* that?!!)

Millie’s Playground proprietor Taneall has throughtfully selected a great selection of brands for you: choose from Alluring linens, Annabel Trends, Baby Ka-Boosh, Babykids Australia, Beauty and the Bees, Bobux, Classic Pooh, Giimmo, Humphrey’s Corner, Johnco Productiions, Ka-Boosh, Little Beetle, Marquise, Max and Tilly, Milestone Press, Natures Purest, Ninth Moon, Noo,  Pure Earth, Soon Melbourne, Sugar booger, TTot, Tea Princess, Tiny Minymo, Toyslink and Vanchi.

Hot picks are Tiny Minymo from Denmark, with fantastical prints and colours to zap the grey of winter right out of the picture (stay tuned for Summer 09/10 stock, due by the end of July), Marquise; among the best, most tasteful and affordable baby clothing you’ll find, Nature’s Purest organic toys and linens, an extensive range of Bobux pre-walkers and shoes, maternity fashion from Ninth Moon and Soon Melbourne on clearance, drastically reduced, and Beauty and the Bees skincare for mums and babes, including Botty Butter and Mother-to-be Belly Balm.

On a personal note, I was gifted Beauty and the Bees Belly Balm by a friend when I became pregnant. It’s an all-natural formula, and so I happily massaged my tum with it for my entire pregnancy, as much for the connection it gave me with my babies (twins) as anything, but I didn’t end up with a single stretch mark, so I’d say it’s worth a go for that purpose too!

To welcome you to the Millie’s Playground experience, Taneall is offering KSF readers 15% off store-wide, including stock already on sale (heads up: Tea Princess, Tiny Minymo, Soon Melbourne fashion and more!)

More than summertime, more than my birthday, almost more than Christmas, I love stocktake sale time.  It’s so exciting seeing all the big red signs come out in shop windows and wondering which beautiful things I’ve been wanting that I’ll finally be able to afford.

And as you’ll have been noticing, online stores do stocktake sales just as well – and in many cases, better! – than their bricks-and-mortar counterparts.

Take kounia-bella – www.kounia-bella.com.au – for example. Both an online store and a beautiful bricks-and-mortar shop in Oakleigh, Melbourne, K-B are throwing their literal and virtual doors wide open with a spectacular stocktake sale. Just *how* good is this stocktake sale, do I hear you ask?

Well get this: a massively ginormous 35% off store-wide! Yep, sale stock (much of it already at up to 60% off) is included here, so you can walk away with treats from Australia’s most highly coveted boutique children’s brands at prices so tiny you could use the spare change from down the back of the sofa! To claim your 35% store-wide discount, enter ‘0609KSFOFFER35%’ at checkout until midnight 30 June 2009.  Alternatively, Melbournites can visit the gorgeous beautiful shop in Oakleigh.

kounia-bella really do stock the creme de la creme of the kidswear industry. Given that they cover brands like Bebe by Minihaha, Woof!, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, Enfant by Collette Dinnigan, Tea Princess and many, many more, this sale is truly remarkable – when else and where else are you going to see these designers’ current season ranges marked down so heavily?

I just have to mention the kounia-bella exclusive cupcake kits by Sweetiepie Cakes too: with the discount they’re down from $42.00 to $27.30! Making professional-quality cupcakes has never been easier!

The sale category, as I mentioned above, has some serious discounts already in place too: up to 60% off summer pieces from those same sought after brands I’ve just listed, and you can use the 35% discount on top of that!  I’ll let you do the maths on that one, but suffice to say you’re paying well below cost price on sale stock here. Baaaaargain!

With winter right around the corner, it’s definitely time to make sure that your kids’ wardrobes are ready to go with stylish and practical warm clothes.

A new brand at kounia-b is Mon Ange who make gorgeous basics. Their long-sleeve merino tees are the perfect winter layer for boys and girls, and their classic PJs (see below) are adorable!  Mon Ange products are made in Australia too, which is an added incentive to buy them.
