Get Ready to Go Back to School!

Posted in 'Baby Gifts and Gifts for Kids' on January 18, 2011, 12:11 am
 
Since it’s time again for tots to head back to school or daycare, we thought it would be a good idea to bring you a range of great online gifts to make the transition for little tykes easier. Whether you’re looking for the right gear for your own child or unique baby gifts or gifts for bigger kids, we can definitely help you find something special. From eco friendly gifts to lovingly handmade creations or charity gift ideas, we’ve got you covered!
 

Fluf Lunch Bags - available in 4 designs: Apple, Milkshake, Robot and Doggy. RRP: $26.95

 
These adorable eco friendly lunch bags will be a hit on the playground or at daycare – kids will become the envy of their friends and all the Mums and Dads will want one too! Washable, durable, practical, easy to use and large enough to fit a whole lunch in, these bags show off fabulous style and promote sustainable, forward thinking design.

Featuring a simple design with snap closure, the lunch bags are kid friendly, easy to carry and easy to care for. They are made of 100% organic cotton using water-based inks and feature a phthalate-free vinyl removable lining. The bag can be washed, wiped and rinsed, and has no toxins, phthalates, BPA or waste.

If you're looking for a unique gift for kids or really cool green gifts, then go further than the funky yet practical Fluf lunch bags. (Although, we must say that the 'Doggy' bag design in particular has also been super popular with adults too. Buy a couple so you won't have to worry about the whole family fighting over them!).

 

Hank and JoJo Retro Tube Socks- sold in sets of 4. Sizes available: Newborn; Baby; Toddler; Kiddie. RRP: from $42.95 to $46.95 per gift set.

 
The Hank and JoJo Retro Toddler Tube Socks look super cool on kids, and have a celeb following to prove it! The socks have been seen on the bubs of style queen Nicole Ritchie and reality TV darling Kourtney Kardashian. New to Australia and exclusive to Kindred Gifts, the socks can now make an appearance on your own 'well heeled' child!

We love that the range of Hank & JoJo Retro Tube Socks make great baby gifts or gifts for kids, and are uniquely designed with no heel patch in order to fit and stretch throughout a kid's biggest growing years. Made from the highest quality bamboo and dyed with AZO-free dyes, kids will love how unbelievably soft the bamboo makes these socks, and parents will love that bamboo has a natural UV protection built right in. These sporty little knee highs are the perfect socks to wear with anything from a soccer uniform to a tutu, and trust us, your kids will want to. Actually, we're kind of wishing they came in adult sizes too!

To add to their cuteness, Hank & JoJo socks also come packaged in an awesome lead-free tin lunch box that is printed with food grade ink, so your big kid can carry his/her lunch, toys, markers and anything else they may currently be obsessed with to school every day!
 
ScooterBees ‘Story Telling’ Baby Shoes- 4 designs available (our favourite is ‘Pirates Ahoy!’); sizes 6-12 months or 12-18 months. RRP: $44.95
 
 
Finding comfortable, safe and eco friendly shoes for babies is no easy task, but we searched the world in order to bring you a better option and finally found a great company making innovative and imaginative baby shoes. We just had to make these available in Australia so now, for the first time, Aussie bubs can experience the joy of wearing super cute, chemical free baby shoes that won’t pinch or squish their sensitive feet.

Using a patent-pending design, each ScooterBees shoe features a different 'storytelling' image to entertain the child, and is designed to easily wrap around your baby’s foot, regardless of whether they have chubby or narrow feet. Say goodbye to squeezing feet into rigid shoes while your baby wriggles – now you simply wrap the ScooterBees shoe around your baby’s foot and use the velcro closure to adjust to the width of their specific foot.

Your baby will be comfortable, entertained and healthy when they get to wear these super cute and ethical baby shoes from ScooterBees. Handmade by shoe artisans in Peru, and using environmentally friendly materials, ScooterBees shoes are perfect for babies at home, at daycare or out and about. ScooterBees also plants a tree for every pair of shoes sold, so buy a pair for your own child or as an ethical christening gift or eco friendly baby gift and you'll feel great about your choice.

 
 
What a fantastic way to start your child’s schooling year - help them learn their ABCs! Both children and adults alike will be amused with finding each letter of the alphabet that makes up this funky robot print. With a deliciously retro appeal and educational benefits, the Alphabot print by Bold & Noble is a great addition to the walls of a child's room, and will provide lots of entertainment (or distraction, if needed!).

We love the gorgeous colour, interesting, educational text and eco friendly material used to create this beautiful print. The print is hand produced using a silkscreen printing process, on 250gsm card made from recycled material. The card is made from 100% de-inked post consumer waste, that uses all by-products from production, which ensures a genuine 100% recycling process and minimises landfill waste.

If you're looking for a unique yet beautiful baby gift for the nursery or a lovely educational gift for kids then this is it!

 
 
 
Perfect to keep kids entertained while learning, this ten minute memory recall game is both FUN and educational. Brain Box Maths is beautifully illustrated, well researched and pure fun!

Players have 10 seconds to study a card before being asked a question from the back, chosen by the role of the 8-sided dice. If the question is answered correctly the card is kept, if not it is returned to the box. The player with the most cards after 10 minutes wins. Brain Box Maths has a box full of questions all relating to maths in some way; some cards have pictures of graphs, money and temperatures. Multi-levels mean that adults and children can play together.

Brain Box Maths is not just a memory game - it also helps children with understanding numbers and simple maths concepts while also having fun. The game is suitable for ages 7 +.

If you're looking for fun yet environmentally friendly gifts for kids, then you can't go past the Brain Box range. Also available in 'Nature', 'Around the World' and 'My First Pictures', the Brain Box games are not only great learning tools for kids but also better for the earth than most other kids' games.
