Agoo was founded with the desire to provide exceptional clothing for kids with active lifestyles. Already a hit with toddlers and tweens, Agoo expanded its product line to include the busy, on- the-go baby. With more and more parents involving their children in recreational activities, Agoo felt that babies deserved clothing that would provide the same important features found in adult attire.

Gold Coast eco-friendly business mum with a winning business idea
Your Cheeky Monkey is one Australian Company that not only thinks about its customers hip pocket, but also the environment, by packaging all their gift packs of gorgeous handmade products in re-usable bags and using NO excess packaging.
Monique Nickalls, the owner of Your Cheeky Monkey, wanted to create baby gift packs that were not only beautiful but practical and environmentally friendly as well.
After having two children, Monique felt she was constantly throwing away most of the gift packs she received in packaging and padding, so that not only was she being wasteful but the gifts seemed to look wonderful but didn't end up containing much at all. Which is disappointing for the recipient and a huge waste of money and resources too.
So upon starting Your Cheeky Monkey in 2008, Monique spent many months looking for just the right packaging for their Gift Packs, and finally came upon the gorgeous Fregie Sack, re-usable Australian Made mesh bags for fruit and vegie shopping which are available in modern funky colors. They worked perfectly!! Each baby Gift Pack from Your Cheeky Monkey contains beautiful handcrafted products made by the owner, WAHM Monique, plus other baby essentials, then appealingly packaged up in a Fregie Bag and tied with a ribbon.
Beautifully presented, containing unique practical products, at an affordable price, with NO wasteful padding and packaging. You really can't ask for more than that!
A fresh unique concept in the baby gift industry, one sure to catch on quickly and be emulated by many others ~ Your Cheeky Monkey is found at www.yourcheekymonkey.com.au ~ a proudly Australian Company.

Oeuf Classic Collection expands
OEUF INTRODUCES NEW ADDITIONS TO THEIR CLASSIC COLLECTION
Oeuf, the New York based design company known for its simple, classic design aesthetic, has continued to expand its offering of furniture that appeals to both the needs of parents and the desires of the child. Its renowned Classic Collection, synonymous with great design and functionality, will now include four new products. There's a new 4-Drawer Dresser that comes with an optional hutch. The hutch, with its three shelves for books, toys and other accessories plus a top cabinet with doors, is the epitome of organized style.
Also joining the Oeuf Classic Collection is a new storage solution for clutter-challenged homes. The "Bin Unit" is an innovative storage system designed to make organization as easy as 1, 2, 3. Kids will be happy to pitch in and clean up as they will be able to reach all the bins with ease. Plus its attractive design makes it a perfect fit in any room in the home - from the playroom to the living room. To top it off, the bins are able to rotate making it even easier to store a multitude of items of varying sizes - from the smallest lego to oversized puzzles and everything in between.
"We like to make products that offer solutions for parents while being functional and fun for kids to use" says Sophie Demenge. "We also believe strongly that people should not have to buy things just because a child outgrows them or they are past a particular stage. We design products that last through various stages of a child's development or that can be used in different rooms in the home - longevity, quality, multi-purpose and functionality is what we strive for in our design."
All products in the Classic Collection are sold in classic walnut or birch finishes with white accents and will be available in Australia from July 2009. Prices start from $329.
Both the Classic Collection and Sparrow collection will be available through selected retailers nationally, including Kido Store, Metromum, Tiny People and Bebe online. For further stockist information contact 3 Feet High Distribution on (02) 9516 0310 www.3feethigh.com.au
