News Brief

Petit was mentioned in the News Brief at James Girone site regarding our exclusive distribution with Bobinette. This is what they had to say -

Bobinette Goes Down Under; Boys' Shirt Line to be Distributed by

Petit (Australia) Pty Ltd
(Las Vegas, NV; August 11, 2009)

Bobinette has signed an exclusive distribution arrangement with Petit for Australia and New Zealand.

Petit introduced the brand to the Australian market at the LIFE In Style show in Melbourne (August 2009), and as a result, Bobinette has opened two new accounts.

About Petit: A distributor/Importer of luxurious range of clothing, accessories and toiletries for children of all ages - babies, toddlers and tweens. Petit's blog www.petitcomau.blogspot.com is all about Petit's products as well as introducing new children's business and reviewing great products and offering giveaways.

Grand Prize Gift Basket

There is a great competition on at the moment with a grand Gift Basket as a Prize. A great business we know of - Templeton's "Timeless Infant Silver" - need our help and Petit is proud to have donated our Petit Amour "Hadas" cologne (for girls) to be included in the Gift Basket, thanks to Baby Swags.

A little about Templeton's first. Templeton's is owned by Neyle and Rhett Templeton who have designed a lovely heirloom piece that will surely catch anyone’s eye. Their pacifier holders have unique, original designs that precious little ones will enjoy for years to come. Once your child outgrows the pacifier, the holder converts to a bracelet for mom, daughter, daughter-in-law, or the like, thus creating a family heirloom and a wonderful tradition for your family to treasure. The highest quality materials and craftsmanship is exemplary. Each item is hand-crafted by Neyle and Rhett.

Now the issue that Templeton's have is this. Playtex Corporation ordered them to drop the “Binky” from their signature product, the Heirloom Binky Bracelet as Playtex have trademarked the word "Binky" for one of their products. So, they need a new product name and fast - and this is where you come in.

Come up with a great product name for their Heirloom Bracelet and be in the running to win this Grand Prize Gift Basket - this competition is open to USA and Australia.

For all terms and conditons please visit Templeton's website.

Good luck everybody.

Kids In Style

We are back from Kids In Style Trade Fair and what an event it was. It was great to see all the exhibitors there as well as meeting new ones.

We had an overwhelming response to our existing and new brands with many new stockists to add to our list.

It was a pleasure to also meet such talented business women who stopped by our stand to introduce themselves. It is always great to put a face to people you know on-line.

Our new brands will be up on our new re-designed site (coming soon)!

Alphabet Street

Welcome to Alphabet Street- a destination for all things kids!

Alphabet Street is a website that is dedicated to providing a comprehensive resource both parents and carers can access and utilise.

As a mum of three, Penny Price - Creator/Founder “what can we do with the kid’s today?” is a question I ask regularly. This question was even more prevalent when it relied upon weather and finances for the activities chosen.

After searching a plethora of websites looking for things to do locally and therefore not leaving much time for the activity, an idea for a centralized site was born to make parents and carers lives so much easier.

Many times Penny would miss going to the certain concerts just because she didn’t know when tickets were going on sale and would have ended up in the nose bleed section with two small children. Alphabet Street will endeavour to bring you this information plus much more along the way.

Alphabet Street is not a parenting website but a centralised information resource for everything to do with kids.

Alphabet Street is also running various competitions and Sponsor Spotlights and we have been happy to be featured:
