And what a busy time we had meeting all the new faces who came over to say hello – hardly a minute to step outside and enjoy the beautiful weather! We have our Spanish distributor, Baby Emporium, to thank for making us feel so welcome during our stay in their wonderful country!

This award is in recognition of the wonderful reviews left on the website by PacaPod owners, so we’d like to thank all who took the time to tell the online community what they think of their changing bag!

Spacious, iconic and with a stylish mix of natural fabrics and leather, the Mirano looks set to make a lasting impression for 2012.  Available in classic Chalk to pre-order now, make it your ‘must-have’ bag for the new year!

And don’t despair we haven’t forgotten your old favourites either – the Napier will be available in beautiful Duck Egg, while the Almora dazzles in Tomato!

These cute and colourful Pods are available in Red Leopard (pictured), Navy Zebra and Pink Giraffe, and at just £19.95 they make the perfect travel companion for your mini explorers!

Struggling with what to put under the tree this year?  Let the Baby London Xmas Gift Guide come to your rescue with ideas for all the family, including the perfect pressie for any new Dad – a PacaPod Picos Pack!

But what really fills us with festive cheer is the arrival of gorgeous Christmas catalogues, brimming with wonderful gift ideas for the whole family (but most importantly for yourself!).  The Red Direct team have hand-picked everything from jewellery and bags (including our own Coromandel) to home furnishings and toys for their festive offering.  You can take a look at the catalogue here and get ready to double the size of your wish list this Christmas!

So after some thought (and the help of a great team) we’ve come up with a trio of shiny new videos, demonstrating exactly how your PacaPod bag can make life easier for you. You can watch this on our website or all three on our YouTube channel.

Popcorn at the ready, sit back and enjoy!

Bizziebaby is a website designed specifically for new parents looking for the best products on the market, and awards are given to products that have been scrupulously road-tested by parents, before being reviewed and marked out of 5.  You can read what those chosen to review the PacaPod Napier thought of the bag here.

We’d like to set the record straight.

Contrary to popular belief it does not always rain in Manchester.  And when the heavens do open over this magnificent city, it takes more than a little wet weather to dampen our spirits (get it?).

If you haven’t already guessed, PacaPod’s home is in Manchester, and boy do we love it here.  No congestion charge, great football and Coronation Street – what more could you want from your home city?  We’re also lucky enough to have the support of local businesses and press (Manchester Evening News was the first publication to feature PacaPod – click here for a piece of nostalgia!).

Earlier this summer we found two PacaPod bags beautifully featured in Cheshire Mums Magazine – a first class move by the stylish mag to leave it’s readers spoiled for choice!

After receiving such a positive response last year we can admit to a few pre-show nerves this time round, but we’re relieved to report that the nursery world hadn’t forgotten about PacaPod; there were lots of familiar faces making us feel right at home, and some less familiar but very exciting new faces too!

After 4 days of too little sleep (and one night of too much wine) we returned home to begin the task of sorting all the contacts, advice and information we’d received into some sort of logical order.  Suffice to say this task is still ongoing.

Here’s to next year!

Can you spot your favourite PacaPod bag?
