Every Tuesday is Choose Day at Yopie’s Store: your day to choose… which would you like to win?
A bright, affordable, yet super practical Nappy Bag, that doubles as a Buggy Caddy for your stroller or pram. Wear it as a handbag, or attach it to your buggy – this small and lightweight nappy bag is perfect for carrying your baby essentials when you’re out and about.
Affordable and Practical Nappy Bags
Well, some cool parcels arrived at my door today (I looove parcels!) and they contained a heap of awesome new gear that I am slowly loading up to the shop.
The first goodies that I have unpacked are these Nappy Bags NZ$47.95. I was really keen to find affordable Nappy Bag options for New Zealanders – as you may have seen, all the flash ones cost $150 – $400 each!
You can wear the bag like a handbag with the strap or you can attach it to your buggy using the elastic and velcro. They’re small and lightweight so perfect for your out-and-about essentials when you’re travelling with babies and toddlers.
Four pockets are perfect to store: 2 nappies, 1 pack of wipes, a change mat or toys, and a drink/bottle. This is the bag for active mums and dads who want to travel light with kids and not carry around the kitchen sink to all of their outings – park, beach, playdates, etc.
Aaaand it’s made of neoprene (like a wetsuit) so it insulates drinks, is machine washable, and doesn’t scratch or stain easily.

Woo hoo! I’m out of time to load up the rest today so there will be more new things added next week.

Just found this gorgeous neutral and white baby’s nursery. If you’re having a suprise baby (ie you didn’t find out the gender!) then it may be hard to pick a colour scheme!

Ice Bat Awarded UglyDoll of the Month – July 2012
Ice Ice Baby – Ice Bat has been awarded Ugly of the Month this July! Everything he touches turns to ice… I think he has been doing the rounds of New Zealand recently!
Ice Bat is half price during July 2012: Go here to meet him and his friends >
“Ice-Bat lives in an Ice Cave inside an icebox. Anything he touches turns to Ice… yet he warms your heart! Ice-Bat is lookin’ to chill with you. He wants to sit next to your computer (which is also frozen) and hang out. Ice-Bat wants to go with you. Why? He thinks you are cool. Ice-Bat wants to hang around with you… and he would like to hang upside-down too if you have the space.”
