Bubnest Christmas Guide 2018

The holiday season has got to be one of our favourite times of the year here at Bubnest HQ! Not only do we adore the extra time we get to spend with our loved ones, and all the special celebrations, but we also enjoy reflecting on the past year of business growth. As each year passes we are more and more amazed by all the love, encouragement and support we gain from our beautiful and loyal customers. There is no better gift than giving, and it makes our hearts so full knowing our gorgeous baby nests have provided a safe and cosy place for little ones to rest, and have also provided parents with ease to enjoy the magical time with their new bub even more. To show our thanks, and in hope to bring a little more joy into each household this Holiday season, we have a Christmas surprise!

This year we have put together a Christmas Gift guide to help make this incredibly busy season a little less chaotic! Each brand within the collection has one or more core values that align with our own - local, produce handmade and quality items, have a focus on sustainability, ethical practices, the use of non-toxic and organic materials.
That is only one part of the surprise though, the added bonus is we have teamed up with each of these incredible brands and will be doing a Christmas raffle for 14 consecutive days in December. One lucky random customer per day will receive the featured product of that day in their babynest order. Each morning we will be announcing the featured product of the day on social media (Instagram and facebook). The Christmas raffle starts on the 5 December and finishes on the 18 December. 
Below are brief overviews of each of the amazing businesses we have chosen to feature in our Christmas gift guide. We have also included a sneak peek of the beautiful items that we will be giving away over the next couple of weeks. We hope you adore these businesses and their incredible collections as much as we do!
