Almost two year old twins and post-Christmas sales do not mix well together. Prams are hard enough to negotiate without having to battle huge crowds, plus kids tend to get over-stimulated and grumpy making any worthwhile shopping pretty stressful anyway. I don’t need to leave my home for bargains though, because I’ve heard about a GIGANTIC online sale over at Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au.

Bubba Funk have discounted almost everything storewide by 40%. To access this generous discount offer simply enter the code KSF40OFF at checkout; but get in quick because this offer is strictly while stocks last, and ends 8 January 2012. The only brand excluded from the sale is Il Tutto because they have their own special offer for lucky KidStyleFile readers. If you purchase any Il Tutto product, and spend at least $200 in that transaction, you will receive an Il Tutto Monster Teddy Keyring in your choice of red or cream – for FREE! To redeem just enter iltutto200 at checkout before 8 January 2012. Il Tutto is without a doubt one of the most luxurious baby bags on the market and I’d be happy with any one of them, but I must say that I have my eye on the new Il Tutto Amalfi Beach Bag Black/Clear. Oh yes, I can see myself by the beach looking totes glam already!

With babies being born all around me, now is the perfect time to snap up some bargain new baby gifts. The Funky Parents Box has something in it for mummy, daddy and new baby and comes presented in a beautiful box – plus, with the 40% discount code, it is reduced from $90.00 to $54.00. I also think the Lil’ Fraser Baby Wraps are a beautiful new arrival gift idea. Made from 100% stretch jersey cotton, they come in a range of colours (including gender neutral grey and white stripes) – reduced from $29.95 down to $17.97, they make for excellent value! Don’t forget to use your 40% discount against items in the sale section – with items here already reduced by up to 50%, you are up for some big time savings!

Discounted prices quoted below in red are valid with code KSF40OFF until 8 January 2012, while stocks last. *Il Tutto items are excluded from the 40% discount offer.

Unless you’re one of those spectacularly organised people who has had all their Christmas presents bought, wrapped and labeled since July, you’re probably in full swing doing your shopping right around now.  To continue in our series of gift guides, today I’m covering the $25 to $50 range – you can see our previous Christmas gift guides here, including Top 20 Stocking Stuffers Under $10 and Top 20 Gifts $10 to $25.

There are so many brilliant ideas in today’s price range.  The Quicksmart Scuttlebug Folding Tricycle, for example – it comes in three different colour ways (Bee, Dragonfly/blue and Flowers/pink) and at $49.95 is a fabulous gift choice for boys or girls. For babies you can never go wrong with Sophie the Giraffe who has been tried and tested for decades; my kids were both Sophie devotees as babies. Girls will adore the Rileah Design Pink Sweets Tea Set which will provide hours of role-playing fun.

Christmas has come early this year – it really has!!! I just got news of an *incredible* sale and once you scope it out I’m sure you’ll agree with me.

Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – is giving KidStyleFile readers a whopping 40% off store-wide (excluding il Tutto, but don’t despair; read on). The code to use at checkout is KSF40off, but be sure to use it by 1 December 2011 as this sale is only for a very short time. The discount code can even be used in Bubba Funk’s sale section where you’ll find loads of products already discounted by up to 50%.

The one brand the discount code doesn’t apply to, Il Tutto, has an offer all of its own.  Buy any Il Tutto product, and spend at least $200 in that transaction, to receive an Il Tutto Monster Teddy key ring in your choice of red or cream.  These luxe key rings are gorgeous – I received one as a special gift a couple of years ago and I use it as an identifying tag on my suitcase when I travel as the large red monster teddy makes spotting my bag on the carousel a breeze.  I love the new Il Tutto Neon Mini Bags, especially the Berry colourway; it’s high on my wish list this year!  The size is perfect to take out and about with a toddler or preschooler as it  fits the essential items I need anytime I leave the house with the kids: eftpos card, iPhone, spare undies (for them, not me – honest!), muesli bars and a couple of little toy cars for distractions in bank queues or cafes.

Personally, I think I might use the discount code to buy Christmas outfits for my kids.  I’m drawn to the Woof! Patchwork Check Short in Tomato which might just be the cutest boys’ shorts I’ve seen this season, and look great with the Polka Admiral Hooded Singlet which is already 40% off even before the discount code is applied!  For girls I think the 3 Pommes Collector Dress in Black is hip, and the Fox & Finch Spot Voile Frilly Top would look gorgeous worn with the Three Pocket Denim Short from the same collection.

The prices below are valid using the code KSF40off until 1 December 2011.

1. 3 Pommes Adventurer Shirt – White, $55.00 less 40% = $33.00

4. Fox & Finch Three Pocket Denim Short, $47.00 less 40% = $28.20
5. 3 Pommes Collector Dress – Black, $61.00 less 40% = $36.60

Besides your own, how many other kids do you need to buy gifts for this Christmas?  Nieces, nephews, God-children, step-children, friends’ and neighbours’ kids, your child’s class Kris Kringle… it all adds up pretty quickly, doesn’t it?

The good news is that there are loads of amazing gifts out there for under $25, meaning you can stay within budget and delight the recipient at the same time. These are also the kinds of presents I like to put under the tree for my own kids; after all, not every gift they receive needs to be huge and expensive.  I sometimes find that they get just as much fun from a $15 bath toy as from something costing ten times more!

I’ve put my top 20 gifts under $25 below, but do have a hunt through the online stores to find other options. Many of KidStyleFile’s favourite boutiques have fabulous categories set up specifically for inexpensive gifts, such as Little Styles (with 11 pages worth!), Dragonfly Toys, Baby’s Got Style, French Bazaar and Design Child among others.

I hope that helps with keeping your Christmas budget balanced, and the special kids in your life overjoyed – good luck!
