Jasper Junior
You don’t need a wicked witch bearing lollies to lure in the little ones here; this stuffed-to-the-rafters toy emporium offers sweet sustenance for babes and big kids, from well-crafted wood to the odd bit of plastic, but undeniably cute, tat. Local babywear labels Pure Baby and Blink make lovely gifts. There’s also a branch on Bourke St.

Seed
Seed’s range lets small people in on current trends but with a sweet restraint and with beautiful fabrics and finishes. It dresses newborns to 10 year olds. Toys, bedding and books are also well chosen and make pretty presents. There’s also branches at South Yarra and Albert Park.

Poppy Shop
A Carlton stalwart, tiny Poppy is a riot of intriguing toys, decorative objects and other happy-making paraphernalia. From beautiful handcrafted German dolls for a very special dolls house to Marx brothers masks for a few dollars, there’s plenty to keep whole families entertained (if you can all fit at one time).

Big by Fiona Scanlan
The clothes in legendary designer Fiona Scanlan’s bright, bold kids’ shop manage to be bang on-trend while retaining the whimsy that is the under-eight’s due. Parents will wish they still inhabited a world where a tutu teamed with a chunky knit cardie was perfectly acceptable daywear.

Chalk N Cheese
Chalk N Cheese offers a limited range of beautifully made kids clothes (for babes and up to six) with a gently nostalgic style and luxurious (though practical) fabrics. The vintage aesthetic carries through to the colours, which are a rich departure from the usual pastels.

Mill & Mia
Melbourne’s Mill & Mia dresses babes to six-year-olds in sweet cotton frocks, denim and stripy tees, chunky but soft knits. Its stylish bed linen is a world away from evil teds and TV characters: instead a delicate floral here, a woodsy motif there.
