Picked by Poppins
When you’ve got young children at home, getting to the shops isn't easy.
Finding an online store that offers a good selection of quality products and
excellent customer service isn’t easy either. Hong Kong based online retailer
Picked by Poppins, however, offers both. With a name inspired by the ultimate
nanny, Mary Poppins, and her magical bag that can provide the best of
everything possibly needed for child care, a visit to the Picked by Poppins
website offers mother, baby and child products from all your favourite brands
specially selected by owner (and recent mum) Madelaine Lambe. Become a
member and your purchases will be rewarded with Poppins Points to be used
towards additional purchases. The website also has competitions and articles,
making it a valuable resource for parents. www.pickedbypoppins.com
