This super cool collection is the debut of Melbourne-based label Goosebumps, whose founder, Inga, we were fortunate to meet in person last month.

Goosebumps reversible kids Jungle quilt cover, pillowcase and sheets, available from www.indie.com.au.

Jungle Pillowcase (intro price AU $35.10), Plain Grey Pillowcase, Jungle Single Quilt Cover (intro price AU $143.09), Plain Grey Sheet (Flat Single intro price AU $67.50, Fitted Single intro price AU $62.09) from indie art & design.

Mix and match quilt covers, pillowcases and sheets with mad animal prints and gorgeous, vibrant colours. Since all Goosebumps quilt covers and pillowcases are reversible, you can have a multitude of looks even from a single set. The punchy colour palette used throughout looks great against the plain fitted and flat sheets which are available in mint or grey. Our Mr 4 chose for himself the Roar quilt cover and pillowcase along with mint sheets. (We were delighted since we'd secretly already chosen Roar for him!)

Goosebumps reversible kids Mint Paw quilt cover, pillowcase and sheets, available from www.indie.com.au.

Mint Paw Pillowcase (intro price AU $35.10), Mint Paw Single Quilt Cover (Intro price AU $143.09 and same design in Cot size is "Cot Spot"), Plain Mint Sheet (Flat Single intro price AU $67.50, Fitted Single intro price AU $62.09) from indie art & design.

You might be surprised to learn that the Goosebumps range of quilt covers comes in both Single Bed and Double Bed sizes! This makes it all the more versatile, literally covering kids who sleep in a king single - as well as little bubs like ours who will soon graduate from a cot into their very own double bed. (I must admit too, that if I still had my double rather than our current queen bed, I'd be sleeping under that Jungle print!) With unisex prints, you can also mix and match prints between your little boys and girls.

Goosebumps reversible kids Grey Paw quilt cover, pillowcase and sheets, available from www.indie.com.au.

Grey Paw Pillowcases (intro price AU $35.10ea), Grey Paw Single Quilt Cover (intro price AU $143.09), Plain Mint Sheet (Flat Single intro price AU $67.50, Fitted Single intro price AU $62.09) from indie art & design.

We fell in love with Goosebump's individual take on the "animal print". I'm such an animal person and this collection was a must-have for our online store :)

Goosebumps baby cot sheets, available from www.indie.com.au.

Cot Pillowcases - Tot, Spot, Hot. Cot Sheets - Spot, Dot, Hot, Tot (intro price AU $44.09ea). From indie art & design.

The smallest of the small aren't left out either. Goosebumps make cot sheets too which are sold individually, so if you use sleeping bags, you need only purchase the fitted sheet. The leopard print design is available in four colourways for babies.

Goosebumps reversible kids Zebra quilt cover, pillowcase and sheets, available from www.indie.com.au.

Zebra Pillowcase (intro price AU $35.10), Zebra Single Quilt Cover (intro price AU $143.09), Plain Mint Sheet (Flat Single intro price AU $67.50, Fitted Single intro price AU $62.09) from indie art & design.

GIVEAWAY: We are also offering a giveaway for a single quilt cover and pillowcase of the winner's choice through the brand new Australian design blog, We Are Scout. Rebecca Lowrey Boyd (of Wee Birdy) and Lisa Tilse (of The Red Thread) have collaborated to launch the beautiful and inspirational We Are Scout, and celebrated with a first week of giveaways! The indie art & design giveaway is open until midnight tomorrow (17.3.2015), and you can enter here.
