Only one rule for kids at Boardwalk: have fun!
CHRISTMAS is coming early this year with delightful gift and clothing boutiques and big name children’s brands making their way to The Herald First Choice Kids and Baby Expo at The Boardwalk, giving an exciting opener to the start of the spring school holidays from October 2-4.
Visitors to the Eastern Cape’s biggest and best family expo can look forward to a number of new and existing exhibitors launching products with exclusive price offers and giveaways so you can bank on great savings and the added convenience of a multitude of stores all under one roof.
The family event is once again attracting several new brands and products and family health, education and entertainment exhibits.
National boutique Kids Emporium will have designer maternity wear, furniture, toys and gifts, gorgeous clothing and travel systems. There will also be “Sandi Jane Designs” with her magical hand-crafted doll houses, castles and adorable fairy gardens.
New exhibitor and top national optometric group Mellins i-Style will be offering a state of the art vision screening service for children on a first come first served basis. According to this group, more than half the children identified as problem learners have undetected vision problems.
The Zeiss i Profiler takes a “fingerprint” of the child’s eye and parents will receive a results card on the day from the optometrist. Mothers can also win a Zeiss i Scription vision screening complete with designer eyewear from Mellin’s Baywest valued at R5 000.
