There is more to big department stores, latest fads and having the same as everyone else! There is also a huge spectrum of colours to play with besides PINK and BLUE, when it comes to newborn babes and boys and girls!

At beyond pink and blue we strive to bring you unique products, many made by local artists and small labels. We also look for interesting and colourful things that will add an extra dimension to childhood living and play.

Yes, there are some traditional items, even in pink or blue and you may find them when you are out and about. For these products are too good to ignore, so we've included them too!

So enjoy shopping at your leasure, with or without the kids.

By the way... we are always happy to hear from you and if you know of someone who crafts something special or a product you find invaluable, don't be a stranger! Go to our contact page to find the method that suits you.

about me!

Hi! My name is Monica and I am the bossy boots around here. I do have a couple of helpers... still in training on some things, but experts on other things (like the products I offer on this site).

Chai, 5 years old, helps with important product decisions (like what should be pink!)

La, 3 years old, can't help testing everything out (quality control)....they both display such talent, such dedication...I would not be able to do half of the stuff I need to do, if I didn't have their help!

I am forever visiting the local craft markets, sourcing new talented artists that fit into the beyond pink and blue spectrum of awesome stuff. Being an ex-marketeer myself, I value the work that goes into each item I sell in our store.

It is exciting to be able to offer these products to you, especially if you don't live in Melbourne, Australia!

I came to explore the concept of shopping from home on the internet while I was first pregnant with Chai. It gave me the freedom to shop when I liked, dressed in what ever I felt like and the excitement of getting presents in the mail, made it a done deal! Since then, it has been better more so, to be able to access the (virtual) shops at a moments notice (kids asleep!) to buy something necessary, or a gift for another without the planning of going out with babes in arms.

I also have a lot of input from other mums I know and share this special bond with. We have started a product opinion club, which lets the real people in the know share their priceless views on pending new products. A great help to me and it shows me what these experts really want!

So there you have it.... nothing left to do now but shop!

Cheers,

Monica Creedon
