What's New In Store!

I have been busy uploading many new products the past week and here is a peak of what are my favorites in our "What's New" Category:


Fido - Pyjama Bag! I love this dog - he is so cute and super soft. There are many ways he can be used - as a pyjama bag of course but my son uses him as his comforter when he goes to bed. We put a warm wheat bag inside of Fido and he is so warm and cuddly that I even would like to take him to bed (sorry hubby!). He is great just to cart around the house - my son loves sitting on the lounge just hugging Fido while watching TV. So as you can tell Fido is a big hit in household.




Little Hands Chunky Markers and Little Hands Rainbow Chalk - I love these as they are big and chunky. My son has problems with his pencil grip and these are just great because it has encouraged him to want to draw and be creative where with normal felt pens or chalk he is not interested as it is too hard for him. So these get a big Thumbs up from us!!


ABC Blocks Cart - this is an old fashioned toy that has never really gone out of fashion. My son is addicted to numbers and letters and this block cart keeps him amused for hours. It is also great for his fine motor and hand/eye coordination. We love the ABC Blocks Cart..


Who does not enjoy umbrellas - I loved them when I was a little one and I just love the new Iggle Piggle and Upsy Daisy umbrellas from In The Night Garden. They are easy to hold and a perfect gift for any In The Night Garden Fan.

So grab a tea or coffee and go take a look at our "What's New" section to see all the cool stuff we have in store just for you.

Happy Shopping!

Most of the items you purchase from Your Cheeky Monkey will not be seen in shops. Go and have a look around Your Cheeky Monkey to find some gorgeous handmade gifts.

****************************************************

I won this fabulous Cheeki BPA Free stainless steel bottle from Pure Earth Noosa.

Sandy from Pure Earth Noosa shares a passion for natural health products and a strong desire to share her knowledge within the community. Pure Earth care about the environment and care about you that's why you will not find any harmful and synthetic chemicals in their products.

Pure Earth Noosa!


Are you looking for Eco friendly products for your home and family? Well go no further than Pure Earth Noosa!

The lovely lady that runs Pure Earth Noosa, Sandy, shares a passion for natural health products and a strong desire to share her knowledge within the community. Pure Earth care about the environment and care about you that's why you will not find any harmful and synthetic chemicals in their products.

I live on acreage and have septic/grey water system - to be kind to the system as well as the environment we needed to change all the cleaning products we used in our home and have found Pure Earth products to be exactly what we needed.

To start out I purchased their fantastic Gift Packs - you save money and get the best of the products to try out!

I can highly recommend their cleaning products especially the Toilet Cleaner - it smells divine and works wonders - my hubby keeps saying that he has never seen me clean the toilet so often...LOL


My son has very delicate skin and suffers from cradle cap when we use harsh shampoo's - since using Pure Earth's baby shampoo and conditioner his cradle cap has disappeared and I love the baby lotion that much I use it on myself.


If your like me and suffer from dry hands, especially in the winter months, well you have to try Pure Earth's Hand Creme - your hands will never feel the same again!


They also stock the Australian brand 'Cheeki'- BPA free stainless steel water bottles. The kids range is so cute and they are dishwasher safe and freezable. What a great idea for the kids school drinks - fill them up the night before school and pop them in the fridge or freezer and they have a nice cool drink for school. You can even do this with the bigger bottles for work and it is a great way to reduce the consumption of disposable plastic bottles.


So go and check out Pure Earth Noosa's website and see the great range of products they have to offer - you will be pleasantly surprised!

For any Sunshine Coasters - you can find Sandy at the Pomona Markets every 2nd & 4th Saturday of the Month.

If you have any questions about the products or are not sure what products to use - please send Sandy an email or join Pure Earth Noosa's facebook page - Sandy is always happy to help!

Happy Shopping!
