Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming...

"Santa Claus is coming,

Santa Claus is coming,

He's not very far away,

Time to hang your stockings up,

Tomorrow's Christmas Day!"
Hi-5

Now, we don't even do Hi-5 in this house, being that there are 2 boys who are not even remotely interested in the singing, dancing phenomenon, but when I heard this song played at kinder today I was so excited! Despite not being a Hi-5 household, I love this song! This song is the only reason I watch Carols By Candlelight at the Myer Music Bowl on Christmas Eve, long after the kids have gone to bed; it gets me through numerous Ray Martin sightings and at least one Dennis Walter song; and yes, I stand up alone in the lounge room and do the actions, don't you?

Hearing it today made it real that Christmas is just around the corner and not in a stressful "better get the shopping done!" kind of way, but in a joyous, "yay, Christmas is here, let's decorate the tree, bake goodies for the neighbours, catch up with friends over juice and bubbles and let's really enjoy it, let's look at it through the eyes of the children in our lives and see the magic and wonder of Christmas again" kind of way. Suffice to say I could go on and on (more than I already have), but I should probably stop, right about...here.

So, for our festive friends of The Bedbug, we have decided to bestow some Christmas cheer on you all and offer a 10% discount on our already low, low prices!

Enter the coupon code XMAS07 when purchasing to receive 10% off at the checkout (excluding shipping charges).

Offer ends 19 December 2007.

We also have some fab character facewashers to give away as a Christmas gift from The Bedbug for the first 30 orders. Use together with the gift or as a stocking stuffer, you can't go wrong!

So spread some Christmas cheer of your own this year, see a child's face light up when they see their favourite character appear as a regular friend in their room and save yourself some Christmas cash at the same time. Oh, and don't forget to sign up to the mailing list for more gems like this one!

Until next time, enjoy the festive season and may your Christmas be full of love and child like wonder...

The Bed Bug story...

Once upon a time there was a mum from the burbs whose little boy was mad about Thomas the Tank Engine. After decking out his bedroom in all things Thomas and seeing the joy it brought him, she thought she might spread the joy and try selling character quilt covers on ebay.

She started off small and made a little extra cash to support her shoe shopping and handbag habit. As word spread of her great prices and fantastic customer service, she introduced more characters and a greater range of products. Before she knew it she had a fully fledged business on her hands! Oh the shoes! Oh the handbags!

The next logical step was to set up her own manchester store. The Bedbug online store was born, offering customers a fun, easy and affordable shopping experience. With an accessible and easy to navigate site and customer service just a quick email away, you have time to browse at your leisure, without interruption. And low overheads mean we can keep the prices down, even lower than ebay! Hurray!

So the shop was launched, the kingdom was saved, the princess found matching shoes and handbag to wear to the ball and everyone lived happily ever after...

In the words of a young man I know “blah blah blah, the end.”
