‘Tis the season to be merry! Nope, I’m not talking about Christmas, I’m talking about the post-Christmas sales!  There’s a lot going on at the moment, but one of the best is at Design Child – www.designchild.com.au – where top branded clothing is up to 35% off!

Yes, that’s right folks, up to 35% off (and in some cases more) brands such as Baobab, mill&mia, Aravore, Neige and Albetta!  You don’t need a code, prices are on sale as marked, so get in before everything goes because that’s bound to be soon.  (Note that the sale excludes Peggy brand clothing, and footwear.)

There are also some new products to check out: canvas prints from Sydney company Urban Nest Designs which are absolutely beautiful; peaceful, nature inspired, slightly Scandinavian looking and very, very stylish. There’s a stunning pair of alphabet prints included in the range (one for a girl’s room, one for a boy’s) which are my favourites.

Also new are Pediped shoes which I can personally recommend, my older son having had several pairs. They’re soft soled shoes, as recommended for babies and new walkers by pretty much every health professional out there.  The soles are lightly padded though, which makes it more comfy for little feet especially on uneven surfaces.  The uppers are incredibly soft leather with easy close fastenings, making it easy to get them onto wriggly feet.

So head over to head over to Design Child and make the most of the fantastic sale and the heavenly new products pronto!

It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas. Case in point: over the weekend, my suburb seemed to suddenly (almost magically) light up with dazzling lights in preparation for -  wait for it  – *24* days time!

You too will light up once you see the great offers at Design Child – www.designchild.com.au.

Design Child have just revealed a great selection of Dwell Studio items for your delight this festive season. The Picture Book Collection, just added to the line which is most famous for its inspiring decor, uses images from their kids fashion lines to tantalise your baby’s every sense. With a farm visit over the holidays, I can’t go past mentioning the Touch and Feel Farm Book which I think is a great introduction to some of the animals we will see.

A piece from the Oobi Summer collection is a must have for Christmas. The gorgeous prints, lacy trims and pretty buttons are sure to glam up your Princess for Santa’s photo, and your funky little dude is sure to look super cool in the cowboy inspired shirts.

There is also a fantastic range of sunhats to protect your kidlets from what is sure to be a glaring bright sun these holidays. A firm favourite of mine are the Bridgette Bardot inspired range, which scream retro glam. Oobi have also branched out to include homewares and soft toys, which all have their distinctive Oobi-licious stamp!

Are you still dropping hints to your partner about possible gifts for you this Christmas? Why not leave the computer open to the iI Tutto range, like me? I’m tossing up between the Artisan Mia Nappy Bag and the Nico Berry Nappy Bag – heck, why choose? I’ll take both, thanks, Santa!

Before I move on to Design Child’s piece de resistance, let me quickly mention that the Baby Bonkie range is back in stock. These functional and gorgeous inventions take the guess work out of wrapping newborns, and make wonderful gifts.
