A new baby carrier for spring!

Calin Bleu is opening 2009 with a new selection of colours, cheerful, elegant, fashionable. As usual, the classic colours will suit both mums and dads and will go with very pretty much everything in your wardrobe.
Sure, the most important things in choosing a baby sling are comfort and safety. The 'look' of it is also important. You need to feel good wearing your sling. You will be wearing your wrap day in and day for a long time so keep that in mind when you choose.

The new wraps are even softer than before, the fabric has a slight crinkle which makes them even more comfortable, especially for older children.
We also have a limited number of XL wraps (5.60m) for XL parents and if you wish to carry two children at the same time.

help us name the new colours

We have three new colours coming in soon: red (left), amber and green (below).

We are looking for colour names for our new wraps, rich red or cheerful red? gleaming amber? sereen green or gleaming green? nicely red, truly red, mossy green, if you have any idea, let us know FAST!

They are all dyed now, they'll be on their way to us within a couple of weeks.

We are still waiting for a photo of the amber. If you're in the Glasgow area and have a young baby, email us with a photo of you and your baby.

Cool kind kid clothes make an entry at Calin Bleu

Calin Bleu is pleased to introduce a new range of organic clothing for children. We're not really baby pink and baby blue kinda people, give us funky, nice clothes for our kiddos.

And here comes Arabella Miller!
Their clothing is 100% organic cotton, even the inks are certified organic. The choice of lovely prints makes it a great new baby present!

New colours on the way! Cheerful baby slings

Look at what's coming soon at Calin Bleu. A lovely mossy green, much brighter than the olive without being too bright. Perfect for spring!

Also coming soon is an amber wrap, slightly peachy, the photo will come soon. We're working on that. If you're in Glasgow and you would like to model for us, just drop us an email: infoATcalinbleu.com with the age of your baby and a recent picture of you and your little one.

Grab your cameras and get a chance to win an 'enhanced' shot of your children

Not a sling-related post today but a fun competition to enter with the children. Budding photographers, take out your cameras and have fun!

www.enhance-me.com is running a competition for three new background themes and needs suitable photos of children to work on them.

There are 3 categories, as Vicky explains:

GIRL theme: ‘Popstar’ – For this theme I will ideally need one or two girls standing, taken from a front view – they will need to be full body shots. Feel free to dress your children up for this one in popstar outfits!

BOY Theme: ‘My Robot Friends’ – I will need a good clear photo of a boy taken from a front view - full body shot, seated or standing....possibly with arms out to either side so they could be draped around a robot next to him!

UNISEX Theme: ‘The Wild Things’ – I will need up to two children, a boy and a girl....full body shots - ideally seated taken from any angle....

ALL PHOTOS SUBMITTED MUST BE BETWEEN 500KBS AND 4000KBS (4MBS) IN SIZE and I will also need your full permission to use the completed enhancements and original photos for my galleries and marketing purposes.

Email your photos to: info@enhance-me.com

With ‘January competition’ and ‘Popstar', 'My Robot Friends' or 'The Wild Things ’ Theme in the subject line.

Closing date is 5th of February 2009

The most suitable photos for each theme will be selected, and the winners will receive a completed 8x10 digital version of their enhancement in thier chosen theme.

Also currently running a JANUARY sale, enhancements are being offered at a price of £12.50 for up to 4 children in a theme of your choice - for a limited time only!

Enjoy!

New Babylegs at Calin bleu

I've known baby legs for years and used them with both our children. To keep their little legs warm and also just because they look so cute!
When I opened the packet of these supersoft rainbow baby legs, I couldn't believe how soft they were. When they say super soft, they actually mean super soft.

So here they are now in Calin Bleu (and at a super price as well!)

When the press talks about slings!

Don't just take our word for it, read for yourself what the press has to say about Calin Bleu. Calin Bleu is featured all over the baby magazines this month!

The Calin Bleu (teal) was awarded 4-stars in Junior Pregnancy & Birth. 'The Calin Bleu is wonderfully easy to use thanks to the excellent instructions and seven positions.'
I'm Pregnant magazine featured the red micro fleece wrap in their selection of baby essentials along with the changing bags, saying there's no need to sacrifice style for function!
And the teal wrap (again!) was featured among the Top 10 Super Slings in Practical Parenting.

Now is the time to take advantage of our special offer on the Teal Baby Wrap!
