Christmas Shopping? May I suggest....

This is the second post in my 'mini series' of 'Christmas Shopping? May I suggest...' gift shopping suggestions. I have been busily buying gifts all year and when I tell people that many respond with "Wow - I haven't even started mine" so here are some of my purchases (that I am totally in love with and can't wait for the person they are intended for to rip open on Christmas day) - maybe some inspiration for you??

After my parents showed up on the weekend with Milla's kitchen I couldn't believe my luck, only a few months ago I had bought some absolutely gorgeous felt foods from the very, very talented Samantha of Sam McLean Designs, and now these adorable play foods have the perfect home!!
I LOVE the idea of play food for kids and as soon as I saw Sam's items I just had to get my hands on some. So after browsing through her Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Fruit & Veg and even Treats selections I decided on these:


Ice cream cone with 3 flavors


Toddlers who lunch - play set


and this custom ordered Roast Dinner. I think this one is my favorite for the simple reason that even the drumsticks Velcro on and off - How cool is that?!?
Sam's attention to detail is amazing! All the foods look just like the real thing and spark up all kinds of imaginary games to play with my kids! Pop into Sam's shop HERE soon to grab some yummy goodies - I'm sure she would be only too happy to find you the perfect 'menu'. Happy shopping!

Christmas Shopping? May I suggest....

Less than 6 weeks until the Jolly man in the red suit pops by for a visit - Yay!
I've been buying bit and pieces all year long and adding them to the secret gift cupboard in my house but now that we are so close I thought I'd share a few of my purchases with you - maybe sparing some inspiration for your gift list too??

What better place to start than with these gorgeous 'Jingle Sox' from Deekie Belle Designs.


Only last weekend my whole family (we are talking Mum, Dad, my 2 sisters, my brother, my sister in law, my brother in law & 6 nieces and nephews plus my little clan) all were spoilt to a weekend away together by my Mum & Dad. So I was on the hunt for a special thank you gift for Mum and Dad from us all and had decided a Christmas decoration of some sort would be perfect as they would have it time to enjoy it the entire 'Silly Season'.
I finally narrowed my hunt down to a personalised Christmas stocking each so when I spotted the Jingle Sox I just had to have some!!
The very clever, Jenny, behind the Jingle Sox was so very lovely and after all my questions, queries and demands she came up with exactly what I had in mind - I LOVE them. You might not be able to see in the photo but Jenny embroidered 'Papa' & 'Grandma Barbara' on the stockings at my request too.


Mum and Dad were so excited to receive these stockings and are just thrilled with them!!
Jenny has plenty more listed in her etsy shop HERE in all kinds of bright, fun and funky designs. I highly recommend theses stunning Jingle Sox -you won't be disappointed! Happy Shopping!
