Ok, so maybe I am a little slow – say 49 years or so slow, but I have caught up now! I love Sophie the Giraffe! Sophie the Giraffe has been around for more than 49 years… Since 1961, more than 30 million Sophies have been sold in the world. 830,000 babies were born in France last year; over 710,000 giraffes have been sold! Her success has been huge in Europe, America and in Canada. She just won the ASTRA – Best Baby Toy of the Year 2009 in the USA.

And now – Sophie has made it big in Hollywood, with all the stars now jumping on the bandwagon. Nicole Richie, Naomi Watts, Sofia Coppola, Isla Fisher, Ashlee Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Tori Spelling, Milla Jovovich, Dennis Quaid, Kate Hudson, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Debra Messing all have Sophie the Giraffes for their little ones! But the one I like the most is Steve, (Cynthia Nixon’s husband on Sex in the City), check him out below and Martha Stewart – just goes to show you are never too old for Sophie.

I was lucky enough to make it to Mathilda’s Markets in Sydney on the weekend, and as usual I was not disappointed. Well to be honest I was a little disappointed – in the fact that I do not have a little girl to dress in the absolutely divine girly dresses I saw there. Somehow, my little one year old boy – as gorgeous as he is, would not suit the beautiful hair accessories I saw. As usual the standard of the baby clothing, kids accessories, and hand made toys was absolutely fantastic. Yes it was all just unique, stylish, beautiful kids stuff. Boy I am a baby stuff addict!

What kind of essentials for babies would this site be without the number 1 essential of all – the b.box for kids? This really is a must. I have been caught out a number of times walking to the park without my 9kg nappy bag, and as luck would have it – a dirty nappy on the way. The b.box has now solved these emergencies, and has become my number one accessory. Don’t leave home without it! It’s so handy for those quick trips to the supermarket, in the car, and now grandma has one. At only $34.95, this is the best money you will ever spend. Now for the biggest decision of all – what colour?

Ok daddy’s, this one is for you. If you are anything like our daddy, the idea of going out with baby and taking my stylish Oi Oi Floral Hobo is probably not your thing. So when daddy said, can’t you just throw everything into a back pack for me – I said sure why not! And here it is, this Oi Oi Backpack is a nappy bag in disguise. It includes the usual large padded microfiber change mat, insulated bottle holder, pvc zip top wet purse, and also features the lots of compartments for your wallet, mobile and keys.
Not only that, but to answer the initial question – can’t you just throw everything in for me – we’ve done that as well! So at no extra cost, you will get:

• 5 scented Nappy Sacks
• 2 free Huggies newborn nappies
• 8 Huggies thick and soft unscented baby wipes and
• 15g Sudocrem healing cream.

Now there’s no reason why daddy’s can’t be stylish too – even without the florals!

PS. Suitable for mum’s and grandma’s too!

Enjoy!

Wow! We might be biased but we love speesees! Organic + Fair. 100% certified organic – means no pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Low impact herbal dyes, soft durable and extra comfy! Plus lots of love.

And Fair – we are thinking about working there – surrounded by an organic garden, the speesees factory’s limestone walls create an open, airy ambiance, + chai breaks twice a day make working pretty sweet.
