Now I don’t have any kids but most of my friends have a few mini ones run­ning around. I’m forever on the hunt for decent gifts for them so a recent stumble across Lelu – the Baby Boutique in Kil­birnie, has been a bit of a rev­el­a­tion.

Lelu is oppos­ite KFC near the Pak and Save inter­sec­tion and I’d noted their great sig­nage but nev­er ven­tured inside. But whoa, they have an awe­some selec­tion of cool stuff for mini mid­gets made by a lot of NZ mumpren­eurs and design­ers. The store is run by two friends who met at antenat­al class and the name LELU came from their two daugh­ters names LEonie and LUca. Super cute.

AND they’re open­ing an exhib­i­tion TONIGHT of prints by Weta Digit­al artist Daniel Zettl. They’re inspired by hanging out with his two year old and def­in­itely worth tak­ing a look at. Plus the sale of one of the works will be donated to “Izzy”, a wee girl with Bil­i­ary Atresia at Star­ship Hos­pit­al. 

There’s also a new nurs­ery range of stuff  you did­n’t know your future or present wee one needed, but now you do.
