From Hobby to 'Family' Business
As the first few of her fourteen children came along, our founder Jane Anne McAllister found that store-bought clothes just didn’t have the quality she wanted for her babies. They also lacked the strength to endure being passed from one baby to the next and still look good, or even stay intact. So she sourced the best fabrics and began making her baby clothes, lovingly embroidering each item by hand. That was the start of Dimples. Founded in 1992, today, we still dedicate the same care and time that Jane gave to those first garments. We’re one of the few clothing companies that still manufacture in NZ, which lets us make sure each garment is of the highest quality. It also means that our manufacturing is inherently ethical – no unknown, offshore factories with little oversight of working conditions, wages or environmental issues. So who makes our clothes? Our sewing machinists are part of our family, and all highly-skilled craftspeople. Karen has been with us for about seven years, putting her five decades of experience into every garment. Meet Karen – a Dimples sewer As a teenager, Karen finished school in December and reached school-leaving age in January, with dreams of training as a hairdresser. Her parents had other ideas – the hairdressing job didn’t start until mid-February, and they weren’t having her underfoot with nothing to do all that time. “I had to do what my parents told me to. So they marched me into town and got me a sewing job, and that’s where I stayed. I started in the city – 50 years ago. Yes, it was a craft.” ‘Made-in-NZ’ – an endangered species Back when Karen started her working life, a trained machinist could walk out of one job and into another almost immediately. That’s changed now. Textile, leather, clothing and footwear manufacturing make up only 5% of New Zealand’s manufacturing sector, down from 8% in 2008. [1] The number of jobs filled by paid employees in the clothing and knitted-product manufacturing industry fell nearly 60 percent – from 9,550 to 4,120 between 1986 and 2012 [2] . Taking pride in the quality As a professional machinist, Karen says the shift towards international production might make clothes cheaper, but they’re often very poorly constructed. The difference, she says, is that she was trained to complete a whole garment rather than doing piece-work. International garment factories tend to have a group of people just sewing collars, cuffs or hems, for example. “Everything’s done on the big stitch, no back-tacking. Within weeks the seams come apart.” At Dimples, we can turn out high-quality garments because we employ craftspeople like Karen – they have very high standards and the skills to back it up. Karen, in particular was known for her precision and was often used as a sample machinist. “Everything had to be spot on. It was an example – then other sewers had to make it exactly like the sample.” The Dimples family The inclusive culture we foster at Dimples helps our engaged and committed staff produce their best work in a happy, supportive atmosphere. Karen truly thinks the Dimples ‘family’ are lovely people to work for. “I’ve worked for a lot of people, and some of the other bosses were terrible. But Jane is just fantastic. When my grandkids were born, I got a beautiful gift for each baby. At Dimples, they care about you. They’re just nice people.”

Encouraging play time with your little one
Encouraging play time with your little one Playtime with your children is one of the most powerful ways to contribute to your child’s development. It is so important to have these playful interactions with your little one early on in the Newborn stage. To build a connection between you and your Newborn this form of interaction doesn’t require much more than using your face, voice and body to keep them entertained. You will begin to learn more about one another and start to see you baby’s personality come to light. You may feel in the beginning as if this form of play is a little one sided, however through these interactions you are helping with their cognitive and sensory development. They are beginning to build connections in their brains which will help them to understand different words. Beginning by making funny faces and smiling, singing, telling nursery rhymes, and reading to them are all the simplest and most effective ways to interact with baby. Introducing your baby to new materials that they can touch and move around is another great way to stimulate their brains. Allowing them to do things as simple splashing around water during bath time is a great way of helping them to explore their senses. During these early stages of development you are the most important tool for your baby’s entertainment however Dimples also sells a range of interactive toys in various forms to aide when it comes to play time between you and your little one. Toys to add when it is play time. The Jelly Cat books follow delightful little characters through a variety of different stories. Story time with your little one is a great way to interact and stimulate their mind. Changing the pitch and tone of your voice will help with baby making different connections in their brain. Play time can require a lot of energy for baby so you will notice they can quickly get tired. Baby will signal they are getting tired by looking away from you, they may become disinterested or even grumpy. After your baby is rested, they will signal when they are ready to play again by looking towards you, making noises as well was wiggling their arms and legs about. Evolving play time as your child grows As baby grows up, they are learning more every day. They are beginning to develop new skills therefore it is important to evolve your playtime routine. Between the ages of one and two your toddler will begin to explore the world and will begin to gain more of an idea on how things work. During this age it is great to have a balance between structured and unstructured play. Unstructured play is allowing your child to explore what strikes their own interest. It is through unstructured play where you will learn the most about your child and what they are attracted to. Here it is best to take a step back and watch your little one’s imagination grow. Structured play is a great way for you child to learn in a more organised setting, this may involve activities such as swim lessons, musical groups, dance classes. Structured play will help to broaden your toddler’s knowledge and physical skills, this often takes part within a group setting. Play within a social setting is important as it helps to develop social and communication skills as well as teach them about sharing. It is a good idea when buying toys to keep you little one entertained to consider buying toys that are educational, therefore you are ensuring that not only are they having fun but they are also expanding their knowledge. Dimples offers a range of educational yet entertaining toys to make sure you little one’s mind is always learning. The Stacking Ring Tower from Mushie is made from 100% non-toxic BPA and phthalate free plastics, they help to refine bubs organisational and motor skill all while being fun for them to play and engage with. Screen time is an important factor to be aware of. Putting your child in front of a screen is an easy solution when needing to keep your little one entertained so you can get certain tasks done. However, it important to consider balance when it comes to how much screen time you are allowing you child to have. Screens only show a two-dimensional world, it doesn’t offer the same sensory experience that you child will gain when they are out and about. Play time away from the screen allows your child to explore all five senses and use their imagination, you will notice their knowledge broadening quickly the more they venture into the world.

Baby Shower Gifting
The baby gifting gauntlet – how to get it right. Bright pops of primary coloured toys, sleek Scandi-style nursery decor, temptingly tiny booties and seriously drool-worthy bibs. It’s easy to get carried away by the abundance of cute when shopping for a new baby, but what do new parents really need? Choosing the perfect baby shower gift to help make the lives of soon-to-be exhausted parents easier and brighter doesn't need to be complicated. Sticking to some tried-and-true, useful items will have them praising you for your clever gift – day and night. Dress for success That adorable tutu with matching headband and ballet-style booties may seem irresistibly cute, but the reality of dressing and undressing a small baby (several times a day) is likely to have overly fussy outfits quickly relegated to the impractical pile. Top points are given for something that delivers on the baby clothing trifecta – cute factor, easy to put on or take off, and easy to wash. Items like our organic cotton romper will tick all three boxes with minimal effort. While it’s easy to be drawn to the itsy-bitsy doll-sized newborn clothing, new parents will appreciate having a stash of larger clothing their baby can grow into (and some babies may skip newborn sizing all together!) Consider shopping for clothing in the 6 or 12-month range, but beware of seasonal variations. Add a gift of your time – it’s truly mind-blowing how much washing a tiny person can create – help a new parent by offering to put on a load of washing, or simply help fold that endless pile. You are feeling sleepy While gifting the (often elusive and always cherished) necessity of sleep to a new parent isn’t usually possible, products that can help on this front are always appreciated. Most parents will find themselves working their way through a bevy of sleep-related products (swaddles, sleeping bags and sleep aids) to find what suits them and their baby best, so complementary products like sleepwear, our beautiful merino bee blanket or the multipurpose muslin swadle make great gifts. Our merino or cotton gowns are a clever way to dress a baby at night, making night-time nappy changes easy. Anything that saves tired parents from trying to match up dozens of domes in a dimly lit room will have them thanking you for making life that little bit easier. And yes, boys can wear gowns too! Add a gift of your time – Offer to take the baby off their hands for an hour post-feed, so they can catch up on a little sleep. Splish splash, it’s time for a bath The delicate skin of a newborn means bath time in the early days is less about colourful bath toys and more about gentle muslin flannels paired with non-irritating skincare. New parents usually have something in mind for larger essentials like a baby bath, but accessories (think an essentials baby pack or a cosy hooded towel ) always go down a treat. Add a gift of your time – Instead of stopping by for tea and a chat, watch the baby for half an hour so they can take an uninterrupted, leisurely shower. The messy business of mealtime Starting a baby on solids isn’t typically on the radar of parents-to-be, and the associated products don’t often feature on new-baby essentials checklists. This makes baby-feeding accessories seriously useful gifts with some longevity. In the first year of a baby’s life, food seems to be more of a fashion item (to be worn) rather than a source of sustenance, meaning a decent stockpile of bibs is essential. Pretty bibs like the this are perfect for catching spills and staying crumb-free while out and about, whereas the more industrious silicone bib offers the practicality of being dishwasher-safe and stain-resistant. Add a gift of your time – bring over a hearty, home-cooked meal that can be easily frozen or reheated. Exhausted new parents will truly love you for it. The days are long, but the years are short It’s so easy for those precious early years to pass by in a blur of broken sleep and nappy changes, which is why a keepsake baby book makes a thoughtful and memorable gift for parents-to-be. Our beautiful monochrome Marlee + Jo Baby Book allows parents to record everything, from their first thoughts when the new babe arrives, right through to favourite memories of the not-so-new babe’s first day of school. Add a gift of your time – Take your camera along to the baby shower and snap away. Compile and print these special memories for entry in the gifted baby book. Still not sure? Dimples gift vouchers are available for purchase online and in-store, and allow new parents to hop online and pick up those forgotten items...all while still in their pyjamas.
