Miki and her two boys, aged 2.5 years old, and 2.5 months old respectively.

Hard to believe it’s only a few weeks ’til the jolly fat man in the red suit slides down the chimney, isn’t it?  I’m sure I’m not the only one who is astonished at how fast this year has flown by!

2009 has brought about some quite large changes for my little family, not least a temporary move to the UK, my elder son’s second birthday, and a new addition in the shape of my younger son, now nearly three months old.

All year I’ve been looking through beautiful online children’s boutiques (can I just say here how much I love my job?!) and the whole time I’ve had Christmas in the back of my mind.  It’s hard to narrow down the enormous range of choices, but here’s what I’ve decided on for this year. These fit our bill to perfection!

• An Alimrose bib and matching handsqueaker for my baby boy – the bibs are beautiful quality, and I love the noises the handsqueekers make.  They’re the perfect size for little baby hands.
• A Radio Flyer Ranger Wagon – this is actually the gift from the boys’ doting grandparents, who wanted my suggestion for a great toy the boys could share and enjoy for years to come.
• Mooo personalised wooden name puzzles for each of them – educational and lots of fun!
• The Plan Toys Sorting Cone – both kids will enjoy playing with this, and like all Plan Toys it’s beautifully designed and made.
• Their big present from Father Christmas – a matched pair of Wheely Bugs, the large size for Master Two and the small size for the baby (who will grow into his during the next year).  I can’t wait to see them tearing around on their Bugs together!
• I wanted to get them something quintessentially English to mark their first, and probably only, northern hemisphere Christmas – so what else but a Harrods bear for the baby and a Harrods musical snowglobe for the two-year-old?
• Their present from Daddy – Star Wars themed long-sleeve tees from Well Spotted.  (Yep, I married a geek! But, actually, I think they’re pretty darn awesome, too ).

1. Alimrose Designs Soldier Bib, $16.50; and Handsqueaker, $15.95 from Baby’s Got Style
2. Radio Flyer Ranger Wagon, $249.95 $220.00 from Where Did You Get That?
3. Mooo Personalised Wooden Name Puzzle, from $24.95 from Mooo
4. Plan Toys Sorting Cone, $40.95 from Little Posssums Toys
5. Wheely Bug – Large, $110.00; Wheely Bug – Small, $90.00 from Green Goat
6. Harrods Small Christmas Bear, £14.95 from Harrods
7. Harrods Musical Snowglobe, £24.95 from Harrods
8. Well Spotted Long-Sleeve Tees, $40 each from Well Spotted

It might not feel like it when you step outside, but summer is well and truly underway at our style mecca, Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au. Even when the weather is crapola outside, just looking at all the beautiful summery things at BGS puts a smile on my face. So break out the sunnies, throw on your favourite shorts and slip into those thongs; we’re off for a little tour of the newest summer arrivals!

First stop for the summer party train is none other than Oobi.  No longer content to ‘only’ make the most adorable baby and toddler clothing in Australia (twice voted KidStyleFile readers’ favourite baby and kids designer), Oobi have now branched out into sweet children’s homewares, with a pair of vintage-inspired quilts.  Trucks for boys, tulips for girls, and a really lovely patchwork design make these quilts this summer’s must-have room accessory for your kidlets.  Have a baby under 12 months so can’t use the quilt as bedding?  No probs – they also make incredibly stylish playmats to put down on the floor.  Also new from Oobi are the melamine spoons, which come in sets of four with colours for boys and girls. You’ll be looking for any excuse to feed your tot in public with these!

Rock Your Baby have a fantastic new array of hair accessories for the little girls in your life. Headbands and bow clips in everything from delicate lace to fun fruity prints to flirty florals, these clips will really put the finishing touch on any outfit your junior fashionista cares to put together.

While we’re looking at girlswear, if you have daughters you simply must look at all the incredibly pretty new dresses instore.  We’re talking brands like BIG by Fiona Scanlan, Three Little Trees, Baobab and Ivy Designs.  There really is something there for every girl, whether she loves to lounge around in comfy gear (in which case she’s a Baobab girl) or dress up in pretty frills (hello BIG by Fiona), is a modern miss (Three Little Trees is right up her alley) or has a penchant for vintage (Ivy Designs couldn’t be more perfect).

Don’t worry if, like me, you’re a mum of boys – there’s plenty instore for them too. Bonds has some great new sets for little lads – the Bonds Stretchies are wardrobe staples in my house, but do go up a size when ordering.  Ouch have fab tees and shorts for everyone’s taste, plus Small Paul and Well Spotted have done some great new tees too.  I particularly like the new ‘green themed’ Well Spotted organic tees – cool and topical, he’ll create a stir when he wears these!

Looking for something to top off your son’s outfit?  The range of hats from Goorin Kids has me drooling; it’s incredibly hip and there are so many that I want for my boy it’s just not funny!  I’m currently tossing up between the Lil Buddy Straw Cowboy Hat and the Baby Oliver Plaid Fedora.  Perhaps I’ll just get both…

I’ve been indulging myself in one of my favourite pastimes just now.  I made myself a cup of Earl Grey, I snuck a chocolate biscuit (ok, fine, two), and I sat myself down in front of the computer and went straight to Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au.

I’m sure by now you all know about the divine range of goodness that is BGS.  You’ll know all about the ever-continuing range of hot new products that Daniela and her team work tirelessly to source, and you’ll know about how you can win a $200 BGS voucher every month simply by signing up to their newsletter.  You’ll already know all about the vast range of boutique brands stocked (see below the image collage for the full list), and you’ll probably have placed enough orders to know about the spectacular customer service provided.

It’s little wonder it’s Australia’s premier baby and kids online boutique really, isn’t it?

But have you dropped in lately and seen what’s new in store?  Personally, I’m really excited by the Purebaby Essentials range: an incredibly well-priced everyday organics range, which looks fantastic (as you’d expect from Purebaby) but also washes beautifully and feels absolutely divine (as you’d expect from Purebaby). There’s a good range of colours which can be matched or mixed according to your mood, and the cut looks so comfy (as you’d expect from Purebaby!) that I find myself wishing they’d hurry up and make an adults’ range!

Another new line instore are the Lovestamp necklaces; simple and elegant, these silver necklaces stamped with your child’s name – or children’s names, you can easily add extra tags – are an incredibly special keepsake, and would also make a beautiful gift for a grandmother, godmother or special person in your child’s life.

Baby’s Got Style have a competition running at the moment where you could win a Lovestamp Silhouette boy or girl necklace, personalised with your child’s name and valued at $99.95.  It’s easy – all you have to do is email Baby’s Got Style (with ‘Lovestamp comp’ in the subject field) and tell them in 50 words or less why you would like to wear the love.

1. Blabla Handknitted Beanie – Monkey, $39.95
2. Well Spotted Tees – ‘Talk To My Agent’, $30.00; and ‘The Force’ tee, $34.95

My daughter’s wardrobe might be bursting with shades of pink, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love a good rock’n'roll tee when we see one (especially with a tutu skirt). Here’s a rundown on tees that rock (and that Daddy might want, too!)

I just saw this hilarious new tee from Children of the Revolution at Baby’s Got Style. Too true, too true. And, let’s be honest, who hasn’t at some point many years ago been caught singing that song at 2am after a few too many? (Just me? Oh…). While you’re at BGS, pick up other cool designs like The Strokes (tees $33.95), and don’t forget the most rockin’ bedtime story ($29.95) ever!

Of course, it’s always hard to go past Rock Your Baby for cute and funky prints. This super cool stripey Badges tee ($26) is very rock’n'roll (get them some skinny jeans and a waistcoat or little blazer), or if you’re going down the AB/CD route, you can’t go past one of the original versions ($24).

Ministyle stock Amplified Kids, who cite music as their ‘absolute inspiration’. Right on, man! Girls can indulge in some retro pink with a Blondie tee, or you could pick up a classic Rolling Stones lick tee ($49.95 ea).

Bellabambina also have a good range of Amplified, including a purple version of Blondie and the inspiration behind a thousand bad hairdo’s, Guns’n'Roses (also $49.95ea).

I found a UK website called 8Ball which has – wait for it! – 207 styles of kids and baby band/slogan tees. O-M-G! If it’s not here, it probably doesn’t exist! They even have a Rick Astley tee, which is so uncool it’s waaay cool! As you might be able to tell, I spent a good portion of this evening browsing though here having a chuckle, especially at this “Keep Metal Heavy” tee. If your M is for Metal book hasn’t quite worked, try a funky onesie like B is for Bob (not of the Builder variety). You’ll also find classics like the Ramones, Kiss, and even The Young Ones (not music I know, but still cool!). Prices start from about $25, plus shipping.

Closer to home, on ebay you’ll find Bondi Top Sellers with a huge range of rocking tees (and the occasional skincare regime). From The Vines to Wolfmother ($34.95ea), they also have punktastic tees from Monster Baby and cute slogans from Well Spotted.

And after wanting to rock’n'roll all night and party every day, as the song goes, try a soothing Rockabye Baby cd from the Hip Infant ($33.95) to lull them softly off to sleep…

Please check individual store sites for shipping and delivery details.

Dear Santa

I have worked hard this year, loved and cared  for my children, family, and friends, and tried very hard to be *good*.

I think you’ll agree it’s only fair that I now deserve to receive *everything* over at Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au!

He he…well, I can dream!!

Seriously though, there’s not a lot that I don’t want from Baby’s Got Style!

One of the truly remarkable things about BGS is that they never stop moving – head Style Baby Daniela was born with a mega style gene – and there’s always something new and beautiful awaiting me alongside the timeless classics.

Here we go with my fave picks from Baby’s Got Style for under the tree this Christmas.

Munchler lunch bags from Built NY are such a cool pick – literally! Munchler bags are insulated food storage bags made from toxin free food-safe polypropylene, that unfold to become a placemat too! These are bags are light as a feather when empty, and come in a choice of three characters.

Also on the food front, Airfork One, a fork in the shape of a plane, gets major smile points, plus it’s extremely practical.

For little babies, perfect Chrissy gifts include the delightful BGS wooden pull-along toys (see the elephant below), and Manhattan Toy Co. ‘Skwish’, guaranteed to keep your babe amused for hours with it’s transmutable squishy shape.

Parents of babies will also thank you for this clever Tommee Tippee inflatable bath duck. It tells you the temperature of a the water -  a great safety feature – is small, and portable so storage won’t be an issue, plus it’s super cute, and the beak quacks when squeezed, so it has its own built-in entertainment! Built NY change mats are also great pressies, for Mums and Dads on the move.

For older kids the wooden tool set is a huge winner with wanna-be Christmas elves, along with the great selection of books at Baby’s Got Style.  ‘Hello Greenpeace’ is a lovely story of a child and a whale, and features real letters to take out and read. The Lark Designs 70’s kitsch bookplates are the perfect accompaniment.

Kids of all ages will enjoy the Small Paul Julius sock monkey in pink, blue or red. At 30cm with lanky long limbs and a friendly demeanor, every home should have one (we have two!)

For casual Christmas day attire that will have your tiny charge looking great and feeling comfortable all summer, you can’t go past Well Spotted’s ‘The Force’ tee, and Rock Your Baby Day dresses in great retro prints.

For decor delights for the kids rooms check out Cold Coffee wall stickers – I’m loving the chandelier….for me! Gift wrapped, please Santa
