We are excited to introduce the adorable Budster to our fans on Facebook.  Budster is a cute & cheeky little character that likes to play games & hide from us.Â

Each time we let him go out & play, he’ll hide somewhere & we can’t find him.  Can you find him?  Check out our Facebook page for more details, clues & a chance to win great prizes if you’re the first to find the Budster !

Professional baby photographer, Jill Runciman of Shutterbubs, will make your babies look like little stars!

Photo shoot date:  Monday 22nd Feb from 9am to 11:30am at Balmoral Beach, Sydney.

What’s in it for you? You’ll receive a softcopy of all images taken on the day for your own use, you get to keep all the clothes your baby wears for the shoot and you receive a $50 babybuds shopping voucher too.

Interested?  Then post a photo of your baby model on our facebook page or email kathy@babybuds.com.au the photo or any questions.

I am a very practical person so I like all of the gifts I give to not only by stylish and have a “wow” factor but also I like them to be a practical item that a person can appreciate and use. In keeping with our development of our green policies this year it was also important that the gift I gave the staff was consistent with our movement forward to make babybuds more environmentally friendly.

I was thrilled this year to find these great water bottles.  I keep reading more and more research about the leaking of chemicals from plastic bottles which concerns me.  These bottles can easily be refilled, maintain the cool water temperate and you don’t have to worry about them in the heat leaking any chemicals.  They came in a great range of colours and designs, something a little more stylish than the average block colour.

The staff seemed to love them and I got an extra few for myself, they are a great idea to leave in the car, in the office etc to make sure we get that extra water into our bodies each day.

These ones are from a company called Wild & Wolf.

Congratualtions to the winners of our Away We Go Promotion.  We hope you enjoyed the movie premiere for one of the latest Universal Pictures films  -  Away We Go – for those who haven’t seen it here is the trailer.

Congratulations to:

Each year we donate Christmas Gift Hampers to the Exodus Foundation based in Sydney.  We are very fortunate to have great suppliers like Kate Finn and Vandoros who donate stock each year to help us make up our hampers.  Our staff also bring in lots of baby items like wipes, nappies etc and babybuds also donate lots of baby clothes and toys to make up these hampers.

If any of our customers would like to donate items to the Exodus Foundation Christmas Hampers feel free to drop them into our warehouse at 71 Dickson Ave, Artarmon before Friday 11th December and we will include these items in our boxes.

No one feels like doing any work now, but not long to go until the end of the day!

Have been having a wonderful time in New Zealand visiting our  Auckland office. 

Here is a photo of Jeni and Sharon, it was great to spend time with them and hear about how things are going in New Zealand and the different types of products that are popular and sell well in New Zealand. We also spent time planning for the coming year, comparing marketing activities and discussing future strategy and product development.
