Quite regularly I receive emails from readers asking me where to find a certain product, I am always happy to answer these questions and if I don’t know the answer I try my hardest to find out (I love a challenge!). One of the latest questions I was asked was about a personalised swim bag, preferably one that wouldn’t break the bank. Lucky for me this was a very easy one as I spotted some very recently at Charlie Bloome.
You probably remember Charlie Bloome from the All-in-One Kindy Sheet Sets, the super practical combination of a top sheet, bottom sheet and pillow case that are connected so you no longer need to search for missing pieces. Charlie Bloome is all about making parents lives easier and they have been very busy extending the range with more handy products for modern families.
With summer just around the corner (so we hope!) many Australian families are gearing up for lots of swimming, either at the beach or pool. Leaving the house with towels, bathers and dry clothes for every family member can be tricky, but coming home with all of it is even trickier! A personalised swim bag will make it much more likely your kids are bringing home their own items instead of someone else’s.
The fully lined Charlie Bloome Swim Bags (they can be used as library bags too) are very generous in size with plenty of pockets and the zip closures make sure nothing falls out when kids swing their bags around. The carry strap is adjustable to suit different ages. One of these great Swim Bags will cost you just $18 and for only $10 extra it can be personalised with your child’s first name and first letter of last name. These are fantastic prices and much cheaper than other alternatives available in Australia.

I like the Betsy Bird swim/library bag. The design is unisex, the material is durable and I also love how you can personalise it. My son is always getting his things mixed up with other peoples, so this is such a great idea.
LOVE the Betsy Bird design the best. It’s such a beautiful colour and has such a sweet design.
Love the Mud Pie Ice Cream Tutu Dress from ‘Outlet Shop for Kids’
Love the navy bag because it would hide all the sticky messes that would find their way onto it in the car or at swimming or somewhere while we are out and about.
I like Ollie Owl, but Betsy Bird is very cute too. Hard to choose they are both so nice.
Betsy Bird is adorable. What little girl wouldn’t love it!

Loving the Pink Polka Dot Pacigrip over at bubzyboo
The garden room wall art over at sticky biz is just perfect for prettying up a little girls bedroom
Love the Baobab Teal Mesh Dress over at budburst kids, so gorgeous
The Dimples Merino Wool Cotton Blend Sleepsac over at sukimama is the best idea for winter for those babies that keep kicking off the blankets!
Love the owl, and because it’s a dark colour there’s less chance of it showing up the dirt!
As we have just been to the zoo and saw an Owl in the nocturnal exhibit, my daughter likes the Owl design best.
I love the owl, because my little girl adores them at the moment

Betsy Bird is super cute and would be my choice. Bird was Miss Fancy Pants’ first baby sign, her favourite colour is yellow. Also, she’s like my little baby bird, constantly chirping and asking for food and she’s super cute as well.
I visited some more sponsors too.
Art Eater- the 12 Image Mini Gallery is a very beautiful idea;
Whimsy Child the Mudpuppy Playscene Room to Play looks like fun.

We are Huge..mungus fans of Hoot the owl so I’m betting my son would love Ollie. With pre-school next year he’ll need a waterproof library bag. It’s mandatory in the NT.
Liked Charlie Bloom on facebook.
Subscribed and loving my weekly emails. Thanks HLO.
We love the elephant storage bin on Rudy and the Dodo. Any storage is great storage but these are so cute.
How gorgeous is the Squid Ink Black Cheeky Chickies Button Up Booties at Sustainababy. I’ll have a new niece or nephew next year and these could be for either.
This looks soooo cool a Herbie the Ouch pack at Shop for Tots. Has a gel pack for freezing and a velour zip up cover. Great. Beats the wet flannel my son always asks for.
How adorable are little cowboys. This Cowboy Checked Shirt at Nelly Jean is great. It is a shame they only have 1 yr old sizing. Might be a great present for my nephew.
I love Ollie the owl as it is very cute! I love the idea of a boobook too- a type of owl- perfect for a library bag.

We have a thing for owls at the moment so I think 3 year old Hunter likes the Ollie Owl bag the best. I like it best because it’s a darker colour and harder to get dirty
