For OB it's just a little toy for 1yr+ (and I mean little like match box size), a old mag, uhh $200 off photo session (which will apparently cost you at least $300 with the discount anyway) umm dora colouring in book and I think that was it... Oh $20 off at resene when you spend $50
What was in the Treasures? I wanted to subscribe but spend my $$ on a highchair instead!  But their goodie bags looked impressive!

$24 for Treasures and $28 for OB.
From memory I think the lady said the Treasures GB was worth $200.

the goodie bag from treasures was worth $85.
It had magazine, night cream for mum, licorice roll, biscuits, air freshner, loads of vouchers, nappies (1 for a newborn) wipes x 2. and loads of other stuff.

DH was disappointed there wasn't much there for Dads  I guess he was hoping they'd be gadgets of some kind.
Show was ok - a lot of stands selling the same stuff though - photographers and financial advise neither really relevant to us.
I preferred the Kids Fair to P&C. Lots more fun and things to do and activities for the kids.

I really loved the Playcentre gift bag, it only had a balloon, magnet and some pamphlets but one of the pamphlets was about dads for dads and had really nice pictures and quotes about being a dad today kinda thing...

Oh there is a change table there, not that any of the staff or anyone tells you that. It's in the womens toilets which is at the start of the stalls.

There was a big room in the corner with 4 couches, free nappies, a microwave for heating bottles and about 10 change tables, was quite well signposted! Big Parents room signs.
I got lots of freebies. Felt it was def worth going.

Wow you did alright Bam.
We got a placemat which was cool and the bath thermometer thingy.
Was good to see the LLL people and we did buy a highchair from Mocka, but they are having the same deals on their website so didn't make it worth the trip down anyway. I didn't feel there were any good deals there that you couldn't get online or at stores anyway.
I definately won't be going back. We were in and out within an hour and a half and I stopped to feed and change DS. Wish I had of seen the timetable for the seminars before we went down as we missed any of the talks we would have been interested in.

yeah we got the placemat too but not the bath thing, not that i was bothered coz i already have a teddy one that has a temp reading on it.
was guttered the BFing seminar wasnt on sun tho as i wanted to go to that one
ya cant see everything in the pic lol but i definately think i did pretty well, far more than what i was expecting with what some of you guys were saying...we might go back next time but might just depend on what stores go and the seminars more as there was definately more for pregnant mummas and newborns

Wow BAMN08, how did you manage to get all that stuff.
I thought it was SH*T. I got nothing for a freebie.
I've been about 5years ago, and you got a goodiebag when you arrived. But this year nothing.
SO not impressed.
Yes, there was a few good stalls, but overshadowed by the crap stalls.
Took my sister and a friend. And none of us will be going back.

I saw some people walking around with 'Parent and Child Show' bags that had stuff in them, but maybe they ran out or something?

The Parent and Child Show bags were for sale where you bought your tickets ($3). They came empty though, so what people had in them was collected from the stalls
