We’re not ashamed to say that here at Sassy Mama we’re fond of a little spot of shopping. There is nothing quite like a bit of retail therapy to lift a dull mood and provide some much needed ‘chill out’ time; you could say it’s almost cathartic.
With little ones hot on our heels however, the opportunity to spend a leisurely afternoon trawling the shops hardly ever rolls around anymore. Bored kids and cantankerous toddlers never make for a pleasant shopping trip!
Luckily for us though online fashion and lifestyle store, Jooix provides the perfect outlet for shopping deprived mamas to flex their fashion muscles. Providing a highly curated mix of jewellery, beauty, fashion, and lifestyle products, as well as gift ideas and a well stocked sales section, there’s plenty here to keep mama online for hours (once the littlies are in bed of course!). We’re so enamored in fact that we thought we’d share the Sassy Mama team’s top picks from Jooix. Call it inspiration if you will…
If a Laduree candle is anything like their scrumptious macaroons I want one for every room in my home! An added bonus, Laduree packaging is always divine.
I am a sucker for silk and anything with lots of colour so this adorable lightweight scarf is a must have. I would style it as a funky headband or use it for a little extra cover in any indoor restaurant in Singapore! Brrrr…
This precious pink mobile is the perfect addition to my besties nursery and the ultimate baby shower gift for any expecting mama. Classic and chic!

A good friend on the Sassy team is expecting her first baby in October, and I’m on the hunt for a non-gender specific gift for the bub (yep, she’s being annoying and not finding out what she’s having!). I love gifting soft dou-dou’s and no one makes more lovely soft cuddly things than French brand Moulin Roty. Cuddle!
I’ve had to retire my beloved hoops now that my littlest daughter is in full-on grabbing mode – ouch! These sweet little studs are just what I’ve been looking for to add a bit of prettiness to my everyday mama look.
I’d love to introduce my kids to this classic toy that I remember well from my childhood (and it was vintage then!). What could be more simple and fun? And unlike all the plastic stuff I force into storage boxes, this is pretty enough to be displayed!

I’m sure if I brought this home I would spend more time fighting my son for it, then getting to use it myself! These super cool wooden balls are bound to provide endless hours of amusement for my puzzle loving 3 year old, as well as some much need hands-on relief for this tired mama.
A recent trip to Australia has seen my 3 year old come down with a dry cough and a case of the sniffles; nothing that a little chest balm couldn’t fix! A mix of aromatic essential oils, I’d much prefer to be rubbing this on his chest every night than any store-bought chemical filled cream.
A sucker for an arm party, this lovely little piece would add nicely to my burgeoning collection of bracelets. Simple and understated it’s sure to add a bit of interest to my boring practical t-shirt and shorts mama uniform.

I love the simple design of this bowl and adore the added splash of colour. This is how my kids will be served their morning oatmeal from now on. Microwave, dishwasher and shatter proof! Questions anyone?
My main problem with recycling (call me a sucker, but I do love to recycle) is the empty bottles piling up in my kitchen. This bag is chic and waterproof, which makes it ideal for stylish bottle collection as well as recycling runs.
Another classic toy from Moulin Roty that reminds me of my own childhood. Their clean yet colourful design appeals to both mama and minis alike. I would probably gift this one however; it is a Xylophone after all…
