Christmas just three short weeks away

It is certainly heating up at Infancy ( or is that just that the general temperature !) as we continue to stock and refill the shelves with great toys and gifts.

With just three weeks until the big day it certainly seems that the crazy Christmas rush has begun!

Organised shoppers are definitely getting the pick of this years popular gifts and for others sadly some items are now long gone.

Today our windows focused on “Baby’s First Christmas”.

We have featured fabulous products such as wraps and swaddles, baby play gyms, baby’s first toys and some of our lovely cuddly toys.

Today is Tuesday- Make it pretty day!

Another grey day, another line full of wet washing! I know, I know, I have a clothes dryer. I can use it, but I’m trying to save the planet here! So, this afternoon I decided to ignore the towels getting progressively more sodden, light some scented candles, curl up on the couch with a blanket and turn the heater up to high!

My colleague Holly, however, was busy scooting around our Infancy stores on her zippy little scooter making everything in our stores look pretty. Here are some photos of her travels.

This week's window looks as good as it tastes, Strawberries and Cream! A symphony in pink!

London Buses and Melbourne Trams are back in stock!

It's all soft and cuddly at Rozelle this week, with plenty of Flatbears, knitted toys and Cuddly monkeys to go around!

And she even managed some store transfers for us, despite the limited boot space! What a hero!

The perfect fit!

Finally a sunny day!

My gosh, I never thought it would stop raining! I go to sleep, its raining. I wake up its raining. Touch wood we’ve got a day to dry off! The oval across from my house is like a lake and the children’s play equipment is like a swimming pool. Thank god for tumble dryers! Our house looks only mildly like a 19th century wash house.

Rozelle's selection of gumboots. You never know you might get lucky.

On the rainy side of things, I wanted to let you guys know that our stores do still have some rain gear left. Rain coats from Penny Scallan, sizes 2, 4, 6,a handful of kids umbrellas and some gumboots sizes about euro 25-29. I would recommend calling the store you wish to visit to check what sizes they have before arriving as we can transfer stock between stores if someone else has what you need. Newtown 9565-2866, Annandale 9660-7992, Rozelle 9555-5080.

Last week I reported on some new arrivals from Ouch for girls and here they are. Pants in sizes 3-7 years. Grey cords, pink cords and some seriously stylish slim fit cargo pants in dark khaki. Very grown up.

This weeks window features some of our more old fashioned toys, like Snakes and Ladders, Pin the tail on the Donkey, Pick up Sticks, Marbles, Spinning Tops, Flash cards, Jack in the Boxes, Shape Sorting and good old fashioned wooden blocks. All great activities for a rainy afternoon.

One last thing, I wanted to share, we have a new Baby Journal in stock. It is in the Allison Jay range, and features her divine illustrations! What a beautiful new baby or baby shower gift!

 

Time to snuggle up with Alimrose

Well, I am snuggling, as we speak. Despite my physio’s recommendation that I should use my computer at a table and not on the couch… It’s just too chilly for that kind of sensible behaviour!

New styles of reversible cot quilts have arrived from cherished Australian brand, Alimrose. We have 3 colours, all made from super soft 100% cotton, 100cm x 120cm, perfect for cots, or for use as a throw or play mat.

Krazy for Kido!

I knew I was going to love them before they even arrived. And I do! The new Aeroplanes and Tugboats from Kido… tada!

We get asked all the time for planes and these are perfect. Great design, durable, vibrant colours, and complete with spinning propellor. The tug boats are also set to be a real hit as they are great for playtime and bathtime!
