I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions as to places i might find LADYBIRD products for DD2 for kinder next year.
She has asked for a ladybird drink bottle, lunchbox and backpack (no idea why but she's got her mind set) and they don't seem to be the IN thing at the moment.
I don't want a HUGE bag as she's still so little but something big enhough to hold spare clothes, her paintings and said lunchbox etc.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, also on size etc would help.
Not sure if they have ladybugs, but have you tried the mooo website? Not 100% sure of the address but I'm sure you can google it. They do personalised lunch boxes etc but might have something like you're looking for. There are a few similar sites too.
Otherwise, eBay? What about those places that embroider hats and shirts etc - do you think they'd embroider a bag or fabric lunchbox?
Could you also get a plain lunchbox/drink bottle and decorate it with ladybird stickers? (I know they won't last as long) Or transfers for a fabric bag? Or something you could stitch on? If you're crafty, could you use fabric paints and draw the ladybugs yourself?
Thanks, all great ideas.
Checked mooo but not sure about paying $50 for the backpack... Will look around.

Yeah, I know it's $$$ (DS got his as a gift!).
Occasionally I've seen animal themed stuff in $2 shops. Spotlight? I suppose what you really need is someone who's actually seen them to tell you where, don't you?!
google Kinder Kaboodle.........they have a stainless steel lady bird drink bottle and a couple different lady bird lunch boxes. Not sure about backpack.
Unfortunately I don't think you'll find any of those 'trendy' colourful themed bags/lunchboxes, etc for much less money than what you've mentioned. They are usually good quality though and last for a long time.
The quality of the mooo backpacks is outstanding! I got one for DS2 for preschool this year and there is hardly a mark on it! they are really durable and well made. But like Ausgirl said, all of that stuff is usually around that price mark. Also check out Bobble Art and Penny Scallan's stuff as well.
I just seen some lady bird school bags in Kmart for 9 bucks what a bargain. Hope you can find them
Do cafepress make that sort of thing?
Kmart have a ladybird bag for 9 dollars my DD has one and she loves it :-)
Is it a ladybird shape or a backpack?

I love bobble art stuff. Jack has a back pack and a lunch box and they're pretty awesome quality for a reasonable price, i think. I don't know if they have lady bugs but they have garden themed back packs, lunch boxes and water bottles.
Its a kids backpack but looks like a ladybird. Ummm i could post a pic for you in a min.

its not overly huge fits all her kinder stuff and it was cheap but still seems like it would last a while
hope this helps and you find what you are looking for
Stuck on you do bags and lunch bags now. Also Penny Scallan might have something?
Kmart did have lady bug lunch packs last year, they might have them this year too. They were very cute, they had big googly eyes.
Try Etsy! My go to place for anything unusual and not available in Australia. Most sellers ship to Australia, and you'll be supporting a small business and most likely a SAHM's business. They seem to have a few but not sure what you're looking for. (Just remember that American's call then "ladybug's" if you do a search. Good luck!
this one is so cute if you want a tin one

Thanks everyone, mum ended up finiding the $9 one at k-mart and bought that for her... if it doesn't last then she can pick a bigger better one for 4yr old kinder next year.
Will be looking for drink bottles and lunch boxes but we might just have to find some red ones and put stickers or something on.
the site I mentioned previously has two lady bird lunch boxes for sale and a drink bottle.
I saw a super cute ladybird lunchbox.... I'll pm you the link!
It's REEEAAALLLYYY Cute!!! :D It's got a flower on the zipper and all!
