I love the unique; that category of things of which there is nothing quite else like them. Boutique design store Yooneek – www.yooneek.com.au – had brought together a whole bunch of unique designed products into the one location in their fab store. Stocked with great products for kids as well as a lovely range of homewares and accessories for grown-ups this is without a doubt a one-stop shop for Christmas gifting. Scope the brands list and you’ll see just what I mean: Automoblox, Bilibo, Boon, Bucket ina bag, Candela, Danny Cheung, Dekoop, DesignByThem, Doorganizer, Dosh, Driinn, Flux, Innermost, Isa Toys, Joseph Joseph, Kidsonroof, Kipiis, KOR ONE, Lamy, Magppie, mysmartpac, Nanda Home, Nuance, Pension Fur Produkte, Playsam, Plus D, Pulpo, Raplapla, Spike, Tea Forte, The Laundry Bag, The Teaspot, Travelpac Design, Trendform, Trunki, Wall Candy, Wetnoz, Wheely Bug and Wild and Wolf.

Trunki is one of my all time favourite products for kids and I highly recommend you add one to your kit if you’re planning any kind of travel this summer.

Let’s face it, none of us want to stay at home with our kids day in, day out.  The kids would be climbing the walls to say nothing of the parents, and it wouldn’t be healthy for anyone.  But unless you’re properly equipped, getting out and about can be stressful.

Haggus & Stookles – www.haggusandstookles.com.au takes the stress out of leaving the house with your brood. Whether it’s a trip to the park or an international travel adventure, there’s everthing you need to make the experience as easy as can be.

For day trips you’ll need a sunhat for each child (I love the Chick Pea range), a water bottle or sippy cup for each kid, something to put snacks in, a nappy wallet if you have babies or toddlers, and a nice large bag to put it all in. If you’re heading off on a big holiday you’ll need all of the above plus a few extras.  The Trunki is a fabulous way of negotiating an airport with a toddler or preschooler (tried and tested many times by yours personally), and a baby carrier or sling will do the trick for littlies. Pack your child’s own carry on bag with a range of toys and activities to keep them occupied for the duration of the flight, and have a neck pillow handy to help a little person sleep.

Haggus and Stookles is offering all KidStyleFile the chance to be happy on the move for less: take 10% off everything in store – including the Specials section which has sale items reduced by up to 40% – until 24 December 2010 when you enter discount code kidstylefilexmas at checkout.  Happy travels!

Those clever people at Trunki – www.trunki.co.uk – who create ride-on suitcases for little people, thereby saving the sanity of many a travelling parent, have just announced in the addition of two *new* Trunki models to their stable.

Please welcome Freddie the Fire Engine, and Penelope the Princess Carriage!  They come with the many features familiar to Trunki fans: hand luggage sized, ride-on wheeled suitcases, strong enough to carry two kids yet light enough to be easily slung over your shoulder, loads of storage space, and lockable. I could go on, but it’s probably already pretty obvious that I’m a bit of a Trunki fan!

Freddie and Penelope will be available in the UK at the end of this month, but probably won’t hit our shores for a little while after that – we’ll keep you posted.

Say ”Hi’ to Freddie:

and here’s Penelope

Bzzzzzzz….Bzzzzzyyyy…..Bzzzzzyyy……Bzzzzzzzzzz!!!

Do you know what that is? That’s the sound at my excitement at the news of the latest limited release Trunki just about to join the pack! This new striped and honey sweet addition to the Trunki stable is called Bernard the Bee and he is sure to have you swarming to grab him.

Perfect for your little travel bug, Bernard is the ultimate accessory for your trip away or sleep overs. He’s great on planes as he’s cabin-baggage approved for all major airlines, and your kidlet can even ride him, seated on his back gripping his horns for stability, while you wait for your flight to board. (Talk about a ‘board-om’ buster, haw haw!).

The limited edition Trunki Bernard the Bee model is expected to land in Australia in April 2010. He retails at $85.00 and is available for pre-order now from Metro Mum www.metromum.com.au.

Metro Mum currently stock the following Trunki models, from left to right: Trixie, Harley, Tipu and Terrance, with Bernard (top) joining his friends in April 2010.

Metro Mum use Fastaway Couriers and Australia Post for delivery.  Total delivery cost will be calculated at checkout.  For estimated delivery times, international orders and all the ‘how to’ information see here.
