Does it get anymore adorable?!!!!…read more I don't even have kids, yet every time I'm in The Deparment Store I find myself browsing the clothes at Nature Baby and creating excuses to buy something. I mean who can resist baby pink sheepskin booties? Not me, that's for sure. Today I bought some for my friend who only 20weeks pregnant. Although it's called Nature Baby, they also have another line called Nature Kids, which they stock at this store too. The sizes go up to 4yo but it's a pretty small range. On top of this there's a small selection of toys and beauty products too. I love that everything is natural and made from sustainable materials where ever possible. They do have bigger stores over the other side but this one is my favourite - any excise to go to The Dept Store really...

Bambina is a special boutique baby shop which stocks things for 0-5 year olds. They have so many…read morecute things that I just wanted to buy everything, there are clothes, shoes, dolls, toys, hats, bibs, books, plates and utensils and many more. The point of difference is that everything they sell here is special and they have a range that you wouldn't find at the big stores. For that reason they are a little more expensive but often have specials. If you are looking for that special something for either a friends baby, your granddaughter or son or your baby then be sure to go to this shop or you can also order online.

Cashing in on a current market trend; this store stock stylish things for children, or more exactly…read morefor the children's parents. I am not convinced that baby will feel all that more loved and cherished if mum wraps him up in a $100 blanket compared to a $20.00 blanket. Or that everything in his room is carefully colour co-ordinated. There are some nice things in this shop, particularly aimed at infants, however also expect to pay a hefty price. The sales rack means nothing over $20.00. The service actually was a bit off putting as well, slightly attentive but not friendly or welcoming; everyone has a bad day, so I will cut them some slack, but if it happens again I won't be inclined to go back. Service is important, not just the stock on offer.

Oh to be a kid again! Upon walking into this store I really wish I was…read more 'Urban Kids' specializes in furniture designed with kids in mind. All that rough and tumble, play fighting, all the usual things that kids get into are made a design feature in the way this furniture is produced. All furniture is fashioned with smooth edges, countersunk bolts and gliding drawers so its inherently safe and durable. I was accompanying my auntie on her excursion of buying my little cousin a new bed as he was really outgrowing his old one, selection was made really simple as all the furniture in-store has been arranged in themes relating to a child's age group from babies through to teenagers. We went straight to the little boys area and were immediately taken by this single bed on a red racing car frame, we knew that my cousin would go crazy for it (he is obsessed by the movie 'Cars'). The 'car bed' itself even has working headlights, I kinda wanted one for myself but my feet hung over the edge. It was on sale too, bonus! The store itself is New Zealand owned and operated, and they made everything including the delivery of the bed super easy. My little cousin couldn't be happier with his new bed and I couldn't be more jealous!

The lovely Korean ladies who work in this store are just bubbly and happy, and this surely brings…read moreme in from time to time just because of that. I usually will let my son out of the push chair to run around the store and look at all the goodies. I have purchased a few warm leggings in the past from this store during winter, and find that they have all sorts of toys and games to keep the small child entertained for a bit. One thing my little boy loves is Thomas the Tank engine, and they have a bunch of merchandise dedicated to the cheerful tank, which we usually pop in to buy or play with. A great store to look for gifts, and they have some fantastic preschool to primary bags and lunch bag's to purchase. I always walk out with something that's fun for the kid.
