Happy New Year to all our wonderful customers and supporters!

As we step into 2025, I want to reflect on the incredible journey of the past year and share my excitement for what lies ahead at Innocence & Attitude.

Thank You for Your Support
First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who shopped with us in 2024—whether in-store here in Swan Hill or online from across Australia. Your loyalty and support have been the driving force behind everything we do. From helping families find the perfect outfit for a special milestone to providing seasonal essentials, being part of your lives is an honour we cherish every day.

Reflecting on 2024
Last year was one of immense growth for Innocence & Attitude. Expanding into menswear and ladies ‘wear was a huge leap for our small business, and it came with its fair share of challenges. Long hours, hard work, and significant investments went into making this vision a reality.
I would also just like to mention welcoming many new customers to our store due to the expansion into ladies’ and menswear.

This is such a privilege for me. Seeing families return to us, excited to explore our new sections after outgrowing the kids;
clothing store, has been heartwarming. It’s been wonderful to help you discover cool
styles for every stage of life.

New Brands, New Opportunities
2024 also saw the introduction of some exciting brands. Santa Cruz made its long-awaited debut, becoming the first non-Australian brand at Innocence & Attitude. Its arrival was met with enthusiasm from families who had been asking for it for years.
We also introduced RVCA, the second non-Australian brand in our store. This California-based label offers a unique mix of surf, skate, and streetwear culture. As a design-driven lifestyle brand free from passing trends, RVCA embodies the spirit of individuality and creativity that we love to celebrate.
Another standout addition is WNDRR, a Melbourne-based streetwear brand with an inspiring story. Founded by Brendan Olver, a retailer-turned-entrepreneur, WNDRR represents the bold and authentic spirit we strive to bring to our store.

Giving Back
Giving back to the community is something we’re passionate about. In 2024, we proudly sponsored local events, fundraisers, and sporting clubs, helping to keep our community vibrant and thriving. Our monthly $50 voucher promotion also returned, spreading joy to loyal customers throughout the year.

A Shoutout to the Team
I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without my amazing team. Jess and Mandy bring heart, energy, and incredible customer service to Innocence & Attitude.

Fun fact: they’re sisters, which adds an extra layer of warmth and family to our store.
Our goal has always been to create a welcoming space where kids and parents feel comfortable and cared for, and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved together.

Looking Ahead to 2025
2025 is shaping up to be our best year yet. The new Autumn/Winter styles are already on their way, and I can’t wait for you to see what we’ve lined up. From cool kids’ outfits to stylish ladies ‘wear and menswear, the collection is going to be amazing!
This year, I’m committed to continuing to grow Innocence & Attitude while staying true to the values that brought us here. I’ll keep working hard to provide you with the best styles, the best brands, and the best service—all while being the most present and involved mum I can be for my two kids.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to another incredible year together!
Wishing you all a happy and successful 2025!

As the holiday season approaches, it's time for family gatherings, festive photos, and gift-giving joy. For many, finding the perfect gift for grandkids, nieces, nephews, and family friends can be one of the season's highlights. But a little preparation goes a long way to make this holiday shopping experience smooth and stress-free.

Why Researching Sizes Matters
One of the most essential steps before heading out to shop or clicking & Add to Cart is knowing the correct clothing sizes for the children you're buying for. Children grow quickly, and their sizes may change more than once a year. Updated size information ensures that your thoughtfully chosen gift fits perfectly, avoiding the disappointment of too big or too small gifts.

Benefits of Knowing Sizes Before Shopping
1. Saves Time: Shopping confidently because you know the suitable sizes reduces the time spent browsing and second-guessing.
2. Reduces Stress: People want to avoid navigating busy stores or dealing with multiple exchanges after the holidays.
3. Helps Retailers: Accurate purchases help stores manage inventory better and reduce the post-Christmas rush of returns. They can also help by advising if a brand runs large or small, giving you valuable advice to size up or down depending on the preferred fit for your loved one.
4. Avoids Exchanges: Fewer returns mean happier retailers and less hassle for you post-Christmas.

Tips for Gathering Size Information
 Check-in with Parents: A quick message or call to parents can give you up-to-date sizing for each child.
 Take Notes: Jot down sizes for each grandchild or family member you plan to buy for. Keeping this list handy will save you from scrambling for details later.
 Ask About Preferences: Knowing the kids favourite colours, styles, or themes
(dinosaurs, princesses, sports, etc.) can make your gift even more special.

Shop Early for the Best Selection
Retailers appreciate early shoppers. The sooner you start, the better your chances are of finding the perfect items in the correct sizes. Shopping early can mean avoiding the holiday rush and making the season more enjoyable.

Support Your Favourite Stores
By taking these proactive steps, you will reduce your holiday stress and support your local retailers. They rely on informed and happy customers to keep their stores running smoothly during the years busiest season.
So, before you head out to shop or browse online for gifts, take a moment to research and update those sizes. Your preparation will ensure that your presents bring joy without the post-Christmas headache of returns.

Happy holiday shopping and family celebrations from all of us at Innocence & Attitude!
