1 Grobag
Gro-Clock
How do you get your children to understand when it's time to get up? SIMPLE
“stay in bed until you see the sun!”
This updated version of the Gro-clock uses fun images of the stars and sun to communicate when to go back to sleep and when it's time to get up. Due to popular request, this 2010 version of the Gro-Clock has a new feature allowing parents to choose whether or not to display the digital clock during the usual ‘stars to sun’ countdown. So for older children, they can now start to learn digital time, as well as look for the arrival of the sun!
The Gro-clock also comes with a beautifully illustrated book which helps to encourage children to stay in bed longer, which means more sleep for them and more sleep for you! “No more getting up at 5am!”. It is this combination of the simple glowing images and the bedtime story book which has already made the Gro-Clock a phenomenal success.

1 Baby
Shusher
The Baby Shusher will be the number one tool in every parent’s tool box. It
is the newest peace provider in the New Zealand parenting market that takes the
stress out of trying to calm a crying baby. Its success with calming unsettled
babies the world over will resonate with pregnant women and new
parents alike.
Designed as a practical solution to the fourth ‘S’ of Dr. Harvey Kemp’s, The Happiest Baby on the Block. The Baby Shusher provides a rhythmic shushing sound to mesmerise babies and infants into a sleep state. Even adults find The Baby Shusher relaxing.
It is a doctor-approved and thoroughly tested technique designed to break a baby’s cry spell and engage their natural calming reflex. The rhythmic shush reminds baby of being inside mum, with loud sounds of blood flow and other in utero noises up to 95 dBs, or the sound of a very loud vacuum cleaner.The ‘shush’ sound imitates the sounds that baby was used to in the womb and provides a hypnotic familiar noise for baby to relax to.

1 Brolly Sheets Brolly Sheet owner Diane designed Brolly Sheets in 2006 after she needed a fast and easy solution to changing her daughter Mia's bed in the middle of the night. Mia used to sleep in a bottom bunk and every night she would hit her head on the top bunk as she completely stripped and remade her bed. So she created a waterproof mattress protector that her children could comfortably sleep on. She bought some fabric and PVC and made the first ever Brolly Sheet.

There are plenty of stressful moments as a new parent. Feeding time, changing a diaper, the crying that just doesn't seem to stop…
Why not make at least one part of parenting a little easier?
Introducing the Wi-Fi Baby Camera from D-Link. Sure, it won't change a diaper for you or get your baby to eat its food, but it will give you peace of mind while baby is sleeping.

1 Aden+Anais – Muslin Swaddle blankets, they are large, nearly four feet square, making them much more useful for swaddling. Additionally they are soft, lightweight and incredibly breathable. They also work well to cover carseat or stroller or as nursing cover!
2 Miracle blanket – If swaddling with normal blankets seems a little difficult when it's 3am and you're going on half an hour of sleep you might want to try out Miracle Blankets.
3 Sleeping bags – Sleeping bags add extra warmth without the fear of blankets getting wrapped around your baby's head. Perfect for winter babies, sleeping bags are a worry-free alternative to extra blankets!

Every day, more than 700 children are born HIV positive. Together we can get that number closer to zero. Treatment exists that costs as little as 40 cents a day to prevent the transmission from mother-to-child. 10% of the retail price of every Aden + Anais Special Edition Item will go to the Global Fund to fight AIDS.
One aden + anais (PRODUCT)RED™ can provide up to 12 days of life-saving medicine to help prevent a mother living with HIV from passing the virus to her baby. Together, we can help fight for an AIDS free generation.
