Mothercare has a renowned reputation as the ‘go to’ place for all things children, mother-to-be and baby which started back in the 1960s in England. Alshaya Group is responsible for bringing the brand to the kingdom and right now it is holding a sale of up to 50 per cent off, in all locations.
If you are looking for some sleep-sets for your wee ones head Mothercare’s way because they are selling a variety of pyjamas in all the popular licenced brands. Children love mimicking their favourite characters so make bed-time a little more exciting and pick up a set. I spotted Ben10, Superman, Mr Men, Spider-Man and Smurfs for boys and Cinderella, Tinkerbell and Minnie Mouse for the girls all (regularly priced at BD11.5) on sale up to 50 per cent off. The best deal I saw was the three-pack summer sets for boys in sizes 1 to 10 years, all part of the sale with a regular price of BD11.5. You can choose a pack of T-shirts in lovely muted shades like mustard, pumpkin or olive green in solid or stripes. To match there is a 3-pack of drawstring shorts that look so soft and comfortable for their tender skin. Starting at BD5.5 you can purchase a 5-pack of underwear for boys and girls that come in a range of child-friendly colours and designs. While in Enma Mall my boys and I stopped in Adidas because they were looking for FIFA World Cup gear. My son Aiden found a cap with his favourite team, Argentina, for only BD6.5. As he contemplated spending his well saved allowance I reassured him that he would be glad he purchased this keepsake. I think I saw him roll his eyes as he handed over the crumpled wad of cash to the sales lady. They still have a supply of caps sporting Italy, Germany, Argentina and Brazil in your choice of yellow or green. We found only one FIFA shirt in the whole store, however, not a team of choice, so we carried on. Our stop this week will be in Centrepoint because I have been told they too have supplies of the much-sought after FIFA-branded merchandise. Stay tuned.
