New sale category!

2011-02-18T18:00:00.000+11:00

It's been a busy few weeks with master 4 starting at kinder, he has settled in well and is loving it so far. I have also reduced my working week slightly so that I can spend some one-on-one time with master 2 and on a Monday and we have started attending
Mini Maestros which has been a huge success so far.

But... it's still business as usual and I'm really impressed with the new changes that Facebook has made to the business page layout. From my own personal point of view, I am now free to like and support many more business pages which previously I felt were "spamming" my personal newsfeed. I love the fact that I can like pages as my business page and keep my personal and business newsfeeds separate. This is how it should be so good on you Facebook for getting it right for once :)

Finally, I have created a new sale category for the website. So now all products that are on sale can be conveniently viewed in the one category. There are currently 4 pages of marked down items so be quick because they won't last long!

Happy New Year - we are back :)

2011-01-14T13:35:00.006+11:00

We hope everyone had a nice break over the Christmas/New Year period, we had a nice break for a few weeks. It's always a busy time of year as our youngest had his 2nd birthday 2 days before Christmas and I had to plan for his birthday party before I could start on Christmas arrangements! It also means twice the quantity of presents too :)

Our hearts go out to the residents of Queensland who are affected by the awful floods in recent days. As previous residents of S.E Qld ourselves, this is very close to home for us and it breaks our heart to see such a terrible tragedy unfold.
We have made a personal family donation to the Qld flood appeal and we will also donate some clothes, toys and other household items to local charities in due course.

As we start a new year, we have lots of products on sale in the following categories;
Cheeki Drink Bottles - 15 % off the entire range.
Agoo Leg Warmers - discounted.
Plastic Drink Bottles - discounted.
Lunch Bags - discounted.
Plus various other items that are discounted throughout the store.

We look forward to being of service to you in 2011 :)

Merry Christmas!

2010-12-15T19:02:00.002+11:00

Our website and eBay store are now closed and will re-open on Monday 10th January 2011. We are looking forward to spending some much needed family time after having had a very busy lead up to Christmas with lots of orders coming in.

We hope that our customers have been happy with the service they have received and we would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas.

From all the staff at Bluemist Kids.

We have a winner!

2010-12-12T18:16:00.003+11:00

The lucky winner of our Christmas giveaway is....

Christine M of Elanora Hts, NSW.

Congratulations Christine, a $20 gift certificate is on it's way to you and can be used towards any purchase in our store. Enjoy :)

Just a reminder that the website will be closing from this wednesday 15th December but we do still have lots of specials available. We have plenty of Name Plaques in stock, santa sacks are selling fast but we have 2 designs still available, several backpacks are still available and Cheeki bottles are still 15% off.

Christmas updates

2010-12-01T18:23:00.011+11:00

The response to our personalised Santa Sacks has been great and we have now launched them on the website so everyone can view and buy. There's only a few left so be quick if you would like one!

Christmas orders have been flooding in on both the website and eBay which is great, I think this is our busiest year yet! We have been working around the clock to keep the orders going out the door and turnaround times are still only a few days from receiving payments as we like to make sure everyone gets their goodies in time for Christmas. Express Post is available too, for those who don't want to risk it :)
And don't forget that every website purchase earns you an entry into our Christmas Giveaway! The draw date is getting close now too :)

eBay sales have also been high this year especially for our backpacks and some designs have almost sold out. Unfortunately, we won't be re-stocking these until the New Year as they come from overseas.

Finally, we will be taking a short break over the Christmas and New Year period. The websites will be closed from Weds 15th December until Mon 10th January 2011. All orders will be finalised and posted by Friday 17th December so payments must be made by this date, thanks.

This is just too cute! Merry Christmas

Babycupcakes Gifts

2010-11-24T11:43:00.006+11:00

Launched in 2003, BabyCupCakes showcase baby clothing and bedding in colorful floral or food themed arrangements. With a priority for ‘perfect’ presentation and packing, the focus is on the surprise element: socks appear as part of a colorful bouquet, or as sock sushi; bibs are carefully rolled and folded to resemble cupcakes, jumpsuits as soft serve ice-cream or smoothies. Available too are ‘sock jam’ or ‘baby jam’ jars, plus socks and bibs in silicon cupcake moulds.

When I first saw these products I was so impressed with the quality and "uniqueness" of them that I contacted the supplier to apply to become a stockist. As I have mentioned before, I like to sell good quality products that are a little bit different and Babycupcakes are definitely that :)

As a CHRISTMAS SPECIAL for our blog readers we are offering 10% discount off all Babycupcakes Gifts until 31st December 2010. Enter coupon code CUPCAKE in the checkout.

Latest updates and Santa Sacks

2010-11-17T12:35:00.005+11:00

It's great to see lots of sales coming through the website and many lucky people are already in the draw to win the Christmas Giveaway there's still plenty of time to enter... each purchase through our website automatically gets an entry in the draw so good luck!
And don't forget to use the many discount codes that you will find on this blog and on our facebook page to get some great savings through our website!

Just a reminder of our currrent specials - our Deezo T shirts are marked down to $7.95 and our Cheeki drink bottles are on special with 15% off the full range.

Our eBay store is really busy at this time of year too, especially the name plaques which are always popular as Christmas gifts. There will be some mini plaques available through the eBay store soon so keep an eye out for those too, they are very cute!

Usually at this time of year I offer personalised Santa Sacks on the website which are embroidered with a child's name. I was hoping to have them on the website by now but due to time constraints I just haven't had the time to get out the embroidery machine yet! However, it is my intention to start the ball rolling in the next week but I only have about 15 santa sacks available at the moment. There are a few friends and repeat customers who would like one so I will offer to them first and then to my blog readers and facebook likers. If there are any left after that they will be available on the website. I'll post more details here when they are available, so if you are interested please check back soon or subscribe to this blog for further updates.

That's all for now, I hope everyone is getting organised with their Christmas shopping :)

Soft Toys

2010-11-08T21:14:00.011+11:00

I really love bright and colourful soft toys, so my kids have lots of them (probably too many! lol). I think they look great in a nursery or kids bedroom, they are such an inexpensive way to add a splash of colour, not to mention a special friend and companion. On our website we sell two brands of soft toys by Taggies and Baby Boo.

Taggies are unique because they are based on the idea that babies and kids love to rub satin edges, clothing labels and tags. Taggies offer babies and kids a generous assortment of tags, which are designed to be both tactile and visually stimulating. Every tag looks or feels different; no two tags are alike. Each tag has either a different print or texture.
Taggies are available as fun shapes - perfect for baby's stroller or car seat, or in the larger sized Toss Balls - with bells, rattles and tags galore!

Baby Boo have lots of colourful plush toys in many different shapes and styles. We have activity toys for the little ones, cute rag rolls for the girls and the ever popular giant alphabet caterpillars which are a whopping 160cm long! I just love these caterpillars, they really make a statement on a child's bed or tall boy. Not to mention a great way to teach your child how to learn the alphabet!
Baby Boo toys are of a very high quality and meet with Australian standards. My own kids love them too and have several in their own collection.

As a CHRISTMAS SPECIAL for our blog readers we are offering 10% discount off all Soft Toys until 31st December 2010. Enter coupon code TOYS in the checkout.

Name Plaques

2010-11-05T18:40:00.011+11:00

A name lasts a lifetime and what better way to preserve the significance than with a Personalised Name Plaque?
We sell bright wooden name plaques, each can be personalised with a special child's name.
All plaques are made from high quality MDF which is moisture resistant. The paints are non-toxic and they are sprayed with a clear lacquer, which gives them a very durable finish. We can fit up to 9 letters in a row and they have double sided tape on the back for easy mounting.

We have lots of fun colourful designs for boys and girls. Check them out in the store here.
I have been selling the plaques for over 3 years now and first started selling them on eBay. As previously mentioned, I have the exclusive contract with my supplier to sell them on eBay. It started back in 2007 when I bought a boy Bear plaque for my newborn baby son. I loved the plaque very much, it was different to any others that I had seen and was very colourful and well made. At the time I was looking for a small work at home job so I contacted the supplier to enquire about becoming a re-seller for them. I had a store on eBay at the time so after a bit of discussion back and forth we came to an agreement that I would become their eBay agent. I am very proud to have built a good strong reputation on eBay as I am now a power seller with a 100% feedback rating. The plaques have always sold well and I have always enjoyed selling them. I do each one with as much care as if I am doing it for my own child. I also pay a great deal of attention to the packaging, as unfortunately they can easily get damaged in the post. So I have to use a lot of cardboard and bubblewrap and have now mastered a certain packaging technique which I happy to say has significantly reduced postal damage, so I have about a 99% success rate :)

As a CHRISTMAS SPECIAL for our blog readers we are offering 10% discount off all Name Plaques until 31st December 2010. Enter coupon code PLAQUE in the checkout.

About the business

2010-11-05T15:07:00.010+11:00

Our main business is our website Bluemist Kids and the main focus is to offer affordable products for babies and children. I am always looking for exciting and unique products for the store, in particular something that's just that little bit different. I like items that are fun and colourful as I enjoy seeing bright colours around my home and in my children's bedrooms and their toys. So in the store you will find bright plush toys, colourful novelty name plaques for the bedroom door, disney backpackpacks, funky clothing, wall stickers for the nursery and strollers in 2 vibrant colours, to name just a few.
We have also been focusing more towards baby gifts "beautiful gifts for beautiful children" and I have recently added Babycupcakes Gifts to the store. These are beautiful clothing items that are hand rolled perfectly to look like food. I have never seen anything done like this before, so I am really pleased to be able to offer these unique items.

The other arm to our business is our eBay store Cheeky Tots which primarily sells our range of novelty Name Plaques. We are very proud to have the exclusive contract with our supplier to sell the plaques on eBay and have had this arrangement for the last 3 and a half years. Our eBay store also sells some of our other product lines, in particular sale and discontinued items.

An Introduction

2010-11-04T13:42:00.000+11:00

We are a family run business, based in Melbourne, Australia. Founded in 2007 and we are 100% Austrlian owned. We won't sell anything through our website that doesn't meet with Australian standards, in fact, most of the products have been tried and tested on our kids! Our website offers a variety of products such as; personalised items, infants clothing, soft toys and baby gifts. I'll cover all of these in more detail later.

So who are we? Well, there's me Helen (also known as mum) and I'm the owner and main person behind the business. Then there's Greg (also known as dad) who helps out with deliveries, orders and other general duties as required. Next we have our 2 junior members Reece and Alex. Reece likes to work on the computer and assist with packing orders. And Alex loves chatting to customers on the phone when given the chance :)

Here's Reece doing some computer work;
