Now you know me dear readers, I only need a whisper of ‘designer fashion sale’ to get me as excited as a kid on Christmas morning. It’s no surprise then that I can often be found stalking the pages of the fabulous Tiny Threads – www.tinythreads.com.au boutique where every item of chic clothing (sized 000 – 8), shoes, accessories and room decor has been reduced by 25% – 75% off, 365 days a year.

This festive season at our house we’re focusing on teaching our kids about the “magic of Christmas”.  Our kidlets are revelling in the new traditions we are creating: on tippy-toes they delicately touch the baubles on our tree, carefully ensuring they don’t break them; Master R hums carols when he’s playing and Miss N keeps trying to find Santa. (Ok, so maybe every concept hasn’t beeen fully grasped as yet!)

Hayley from Little Pinwheel – www.littlepinwheel.com.au -  is one person who really has the notion of Christmas magic down pat. I keenly follow her blog and have stolen her Christmas wreath idea that she wrote about only last week. I’m also a regular at her fine online store, which is stocked with the most gorgeously delicious clothing for babies and kids and a few extras that are just perfect for under the Christmas Tree.

To begin todays fine fare tasting, let me tempt you with some sweet Cocoon Couture santa sacks as a little appetiser. Perfect for organising whose gifts are whose ready for the Christmas Day (or very early morning) present opening, these 100% cotton sacks will last a lifetime of holiday season cheer. Moving onto the entree we have a number of books to inspire your kidlets imagination – see both The Awesome Book (which of course, is totally awesome) and Johnny Joe’s colouring book. These books set the mood for dreaming, enhance your kidlets literacy and are highly enjoyable.

The main course today is a smorgasbord of threads just perfect for the festive season. We have Chalk n Cheese delivering a selection of gorgeous red patterned styles just perfect for this time of year including the Beverly Dress and Nina Jersey Dress; Sudo’s Georgia Maxi Dress with its all over divine print (wish they had it in “mummy” size) and Pirouette’s sugar sweet Pettiskirts which will turn your daughter into a Christmas Angel. Of course, teamed with a pair of Saltwater Sandals - perfecto! (Hayley can even put in a special order in the lime for the kids if green is your scene).

For dessert, savour an item from Itch Design. Funky and fun, these gems bring the Aussie to Christmas this year with modern twists to some retro characters you most probably had in your stocking back when you were a kid. I’m thinking I’ll pick up the Itch Pac Onesie for a wee poppet I know.

For the next 12 days until midnight 17 December Hayley is gifting all KSF readers 15% off all clothing orders and santa sacks across the store (excludes accessories, sale stock already marked down by up to 70% and Saltwater Sandals). Simply enter code KSFXMAS12 at checkout to redeem. All orders will be gift wrapped FREE of charge ready for you to pop under the tree.

The blue skies are happening more and more and it really is starting to feel like summer. I can’t wait until tomorrow when it’s official! Over the weekend I packed away most of the kidlets winter wardrobe and then hung all their new season items up ready for some heavy duty wearing these holidays.  I have a few bits and pieces to find to complete the finishing touches -  don’t tell my DH, but I never *really* finish hunting for additions – and today’s offering is helping me speed that process along.

To help prepare for summer fun and save a fistful of cash in the process, Melissa from Whimsy Child - www.whimsychild.com.au – is offering all KSF readers up to 35% off  Purebaby, Tommy Rocket and Two Belles and a further 10% off storewide *including* items on the clearance rack already reduced by up to 50%.  Enter KSF-10 at checkout to redeem until 6 December 2010.

Now to the important task of narrowing down what to buy. I have scouted through the entire Whimsy Child virtual wardrobe and there’s a lot worthy of your hard earned cash here. Let me start with Itch (#1, #2, #3). Proudly Australian designed, the Itch label is bright, colourful and a little quirky. I love the nostalgic feeling I get when I spot any item from the range, they remind me so much of my own 80s childhood. The Itch Design Sketchy Print Short are my pick from the range.

Three Little Trees (#4-#8) are another Australian designed gem. I am drawn to their colour palette of blues and yellows, and their funky take on style for boys and girls. How cute is the Three Little Trees Collin the Pirate Singlet? Is there a bub celebrating their first Christmas at your house this year?

Let me introduce you to Purebaby (#9-#14). Each and every piece is created from 100% organic cotton of the highest certified standard. It is grown and harvested in an environmentally sensitive way without the use of toxic chemicals. This label is not only environmentally friendly, but super cute too.

Lastly, seasonal favourites Tommy Rocket (#15-#18) and Two Belles (#19-#20) have released a range of super cool tees, shorts, dresses and tops that will provide instant street cred to those that don even a single item from the label. I can’t get enough of this range as I find it very durable with sizing that will take you beyond the season.

Oh and before I forget, jump in and snatch up the Lunch Punch Match & Munch Sandwich Cutters ready for the new school year or holiday picnics. Happy shopping!
