Coastal Kidswear Story

Spoilt for Choice – But That’s a Good Thing

Shopping for kid's lunchboxes can feel overwhelming. With so many shapes, colours, sizes, and features on the market, it’s no wonder parents often feel stuck asking, “Which lunchbox is best for my child?”

At Coastal Kidswear, we know how confusing it can be, because we have been there too!  But here’s the good news: being spoilt for choice means there’s not just one right answer—there are lots of fabulous solutions. The trick is knowing which one is going to work best for you, your child, and your lifestyle.

Our Story – A Mum’s Dream Come True

Twenty-five years ago, when I became a first-time mum, I bought a nappy bag from a brand that’s still around today, so when they released a lunch bag range I didnt hesitate to add them to our range.  You will still find it stocked right here at Coastal Kidswear. That’s because quality products stand the test of time.

Fast forward to now, I’m the proud owner of Coastal Kidswear, an online store based on the Sunshine Coast that brings together trusted brands, honest advice, and fast shipping for Aussie families.

My mission is simple:
✔ To take the stress out of choosing.
✔ To offer products that I’ve personally tested with my own two girls, nieces and nephew.  Listened to feedback from our customers. 
✔ To create a shopping experience that feels more like trusted advice from a friend.

Why Choice Matters

Being spoilt for choice is not a bad thing—it means your child can get something that suits their needs and their personality.

Maybe your child loves unicorns, pastel pink, or dinosaurs. Maybe they need a big bento box to hold a hearty lunch, or something lightweight for kindy. Choosing something they genuinely love makes a huge difference—it’s a little confidence boost they carry with them every day.

Think about how rewarding it feels to buy a gift in your best friend’s favourite colour. That small detail matters. That’s exactly how your child feels when they open their school bag to see a lunchbox they picked (and adore).

One of the things I’m most proud of is the community of loyal customers we have built over the years. Many of you have placed more than 20 orders with us—that blows me away! On the tough days, when small business feels like a juggle, it’s your kind words that remind me why I do this.

Parents often tell me that my passion for helping has been life-changing for their families, and I can’t tell you how much that means to me. 💛

Through my own parenting journey, I’ve come to understand the real challenges parents face every day.
