In a former life I was a teacher, and therefore painfully aware of how quickly the school holidays seemed to pass. With some parts of Australia starting school in around two weeks, we felt it was high time to do our homework here at KidStyleFile and roundup some of our fave top ‘Back To School’ picks. Today we are starting with just a few of our fave picks for lunch related items.

At the risk of sounding very old, I must admit that I cannot believe how far the humble lunchbox and drink bottle has come design-wise in both looks and functionality! And with more and more daycare centres, kindergartens and schools becoming waste free, now is the perfect time to consider investing in a fab lunchbox and drink bottle. Nom, nom, nom!

For sensational gift ideas this Christmas you need to look no further than the delightful pages of Design Child – www.designchild.com.au, where there are great presents for children of all ages. I’ve been keeping on top of their best ideas via the Design Child Facebook Page and today I’m bringing you my top picks from their divine range.

For a bigger gift under the tree this year a balance bike would be a fantastic choice. Design Child offer popular balance bikes that are well designed, great quality and with a great price tag. Check out the Urban and Missy bikes. I have a little lady who is a big fan of tea parties and teddy bear picnics so I have been eying off a teepee as a lovely option for my little hostess to hold her special gatherings. The sweet Girly Girl Teepee pictured below is my favourite design.

Christmas offers another opportunity to foster a love of reading, and you can do this with a lovely set of bookends from Design Child. They have the gorgeous Owl Bookends pictured below and the Sweet Birds Bookends – both priced at just $24.95. I also love the vintage look of these metal bicycle bookends by Hunters Hut for your little man – they suit a newborn right up to tween.

Boys will also enjoy stylish adventures thanks Automoblox, a little bit of Drummer Boy action with this great drum which also matches perfectly with this set of Soldier Skittles which have been reduced to $29.95 – bonus! Design Child have so much in stock for little girls it’s hard to narrow it down, but I do love the sweet Mushroom Stool and the classic Le Toy Van Baking Set.

I always love to pop a creative project in my children’s Santa sack ready to enjoy over the long summer break. Check out the range at Design Child by top selling brands Seedling and Djeco for inspiration. The Seedling Design your own Tote Bag and Djeco Princess Create a Story look like fantastic hours of fun for summer.

I can pinpoint exactly when I fell in love with kids fashion and developed a serious passion for sourcing the most stylish clothes for little ones. It started a little over 5 years ago when I laid my eyes on an Oobi 50s style party dress whilst on the search for a gift. Shortly after I discovered Master R was on his way, and clicked my way back to the very same site where I was introduced to Purebaby, Little Horn, Rock Your Baby, Cried Wolf, Munster and Itch, to name but a few. Whenever I need wardrobe inspiration for my two, I return to my original fashion stomping ground, and today I am so excited to wish them a very happy 7th birthday.

Cradle Rock – www.cradlerock.com.au – is one of the original Australian online boutiques catering for babies and children. They were here before Facebook, here before Twitter…..even here before KidStyleFile! Proprietor Julie Lemmon learned the art of customer service from her retailer parents when she was a little girl, and knows exactly how to treat her customers; you feel respected and cared for at Cradle Rock. Julie’s experienced eye also sees Cradle Rock with the most impressive fine fashion, toy and accessory brand lineup – it’s all wheat, and no chaff, here!

The fact that a store-wide discount has never been seen before at Cradle Rock makes this event all the more special: in celebration of 7 wonderful years online every single item in store at Cradle Rock is marked down by 7%. Make the most of this event asap: the party ends for KSF readers at 4pm sharp on Tuesday 3 May 2011. No code is needed; prices are as marked.
