It looks like a new entrant to the Australian online gift basket industry  is coming.

www.giftsbasketshampers.com.au has nothing to see yet, but we’ll keep an eye on them for future progress.

Little Pixie Gifts Review – Part 1

This week we’re looking at the baby gifts range from Little Pixie Gifts.

Little Pixie Gifts have been online for a few years now, long enough to have a solid history of customer service and a well balanced range of gifts for baby. They also offer Christmas Hampers and gift baskets. While the 2007 range of Christmas Hampers seems quite reasonable, the range of gift baskets is very limited – probably in its infancy. The focus of the site is definitely gifts for baby and this where our interest lies as well.

It seems that Little Pixie have concetrated on three main types of gifts. Baby Buds, nappy cakes and baby hampers.

The Baby Buds range of baby gifts – socks and clothes made into arrangements of flower-like bouquets, are very stylish gifts and a favourite for new Mums. They have the style and prettiness of flowers, but the practicality of clothes. The Baby Buds range begins around the $30-40 mark for Summer and Winter Giftboxes or a Teddy with Roses.

In our opinion the extra $10 for a teddy with roses is well warranted. It’s a pretty gift for boy or girl – a teddy bear is always a favourite and the posy of sock buds will be appreciated too. With a nationawide delivery fee of $12.50 and a same day delivery fee for Sydney and Brisbane of $15.00, we can’t fault the value of a quality gift like this – delivered – for around the $50 mark.

Prices increase in reasonable increments to the Blossoming Bucket – a really stunning arrangement for $145 or top of the range gift boxes including Veuve champagne for just under $250.  Most of the range offers an appropriate rise in content as the prices increase.

Next post we’ll examine the Little Pixie Gift nappy cakes and baby hampers.
