If you get the cookie creeps from traditional shapes (biting into a gingerbread man is barbaric when you stop and think about it), break the cookie mould and have some fun with your dough. Everyone loves a cookie and whether you’re entertaining or gifting, now you can say it with a cassette or iPhone shaped cookie cutter. Chances are your kids will know their way around a smartphone cookie pretty well, but have no idea what a cassette is. They’ll just know it’s delicious!

Donkey Products Cookie Cutters available from Shop Until – $13.95 each

With its elegant curves and sleek nesting design, this gorgeous Leander stool set has ‘design classic’ written all over it. While it thoroughly appeals to my grown-up aesthetics, this piece has definitely been designed with kids in mind.

The stools have a slight swing effect in the seat which provides an ergonomic sitting position and ensures the chair isn’t pushed out from behind them. As the child grows, it supports their changing centre of gravity and provides sensory simulation. The European Beech tables have plenty of room to spread out and get creative, and when playtime is over the stools slide oh-so-perfectly under the table – not that you’d want to hide this beauty away!

Available in walnut, whitewash or white from Danish by Design – $599.95

If you’re looking for a stroller full of lip-smacking deliciousness, look no further! With a sleek and curvacious design, the new iCandy Strawberry is an immediate attention grabber, but its state-of-the-art features ensure it’s more than just a pretty face.

The Strawberry’s unique one-handed step-and-fold mechanism is a dream and the lightweight aluminum chassis clocks in at just 8 kilograms. Add in a roomy shopping basket, three recline positions, and rear or forward facing positioning … and you’ve got a recipe for a happy baby! The optional carrycot is perfect for newborns, or you can match the Strawberry up with a compatible baby carrier (Maxi Cosi Mico or Titan). We love the gorgeous tea-themed fabric ‘flavour packs’  in pomegranate, elderberry, assam and earl grey. The cosy fabric sets are interchangeable, so you can style your pram to suit your mood, or the season.
