Online Shopping – KiddieBase

I recently came across a fantastic website called KiddieBase. KiddieBase, is a great site, where I can go and buy what I want for my two little ones clothes wise, bedroom wise, toy wise and anything else I can think of. They pretty much sell everything. From unusual gifts to snuggly car seat covers like this one from Ruby and Ginger.

And these adorable little hand knitted booties. How cute are they? Makes you want to have another little buba, just go to buy these gorgeous items.

KiddieBase is a new online destination for shopping for your babies, children and maternity needs and wants. It has a different model to the usual in that stores actually sell their goods themselves on the KiddieBase website. There are 2 core aims behind the site, firstly to provide a great shopping experience by putting lots of great independent retailers together in one space, and secondly to help small business owners in this sector (who are mainly mums working at home) grow and get their merchandise more visible.

There’s a fantastic range of nearly 2000 products on KiddieBase including gifts, toys, clothes, art and some really different products that many shoppers won’t have come across previously – this makes it a great site for finding good presents as well as practical products for your bump or children. New stores are joining the site on a daily basis and existing stores growing their KiddieBase branches so there is always something new to find on the site.

Typically products are paid for by PayPal directly to the seller – there is a single shopping basket that you can add products to from lots of different sellers and then at the end it groups it all up, adjusts the delivery accordingly (e.g. if you buy multiple items from one seller, you’d usually pay reduced delivery) and you just make one payment to each seller.

KiddieBase also has an information part to the site where they have some great downloads such as hospital bag list, pregnancy nutrition guide, what to buy when you’re having a baby and more. There is a Chrismas Page with some great gift ideas for different ages!

KiddieBase is owned and run by Antonia and Karen, 2 Mums who live in Buckinghamshire but originally come from Birmingham and Bolton. Antonia has 2 boys and Karen has 4 boys, the most recent being born the day after http://www.kiddiebase.co.uk/ launched at the end of September!

I ordered the most amazing clock from them recently, the review will be live tomorrow so come back and check it out. My experience of their website, ordering system and delivery is that it cannot be faulted. The website is easy to use, placing the order was simple, I was able to change my mind, update it easily and it arrived well packaged within a few days. I really can’t recommend KiddieBase enough.

I’ll leave you with another of the cutest products I have ever seen. This Beauty and the Bib item, Blue Strawberry.
