All I Want For Christmas: Part 2
The only night kids are willing to go to bed early is Christmas Eve, because, you know, there’ll be much wrapper-tearing, squealing, and jumping up and down the next morning! That’s only if you parents get their wish list right, though. So here we go!
An oh-so-fluffy unicorn (we blame Despicable Me) might be what they want, but we think you can’t go wrong with this life-size (for the tinies, that is) Dalmatian Plush to snuggle up with. This might also be the first step to getting a canine friend for the littlies.
If you can’t separate a little one from their dolls, then go the Barbie Gift Set. At least, this one comes with 4 other different outfits, with cute sticker add-ons to accessorize, which should keep ‘em going for a long while! But if the munchkins have got other dolls that need a good home, we love My First Dollhouse, which features a balcony, sliding doors, and loads of space to create four rooms.
Happy feet, rejoice! These Holster Jeweled Supermodel Sandals are sure to put a skip in any little girl’s step. Super cute and glittery, these bright sandals are sure to be the envy on the playground. Don’t worry, they make them in mum’s sizes too!
Snuggle into a good read with a kid-friendly tale of friendship through turbulent times. Oliver Jeffers’ Lost and Found will brighten up story time and make a good bedfellow for the older kids.
Everyone loves LEGO. Animal lovers would love Heartlake Vet, where they get to play pretend after building up the veterinary, from the LEGO Friends range. A Y Glider 3-in-1 Scooter is perfect for the high energy kid – and after all, balancing is an essential life skill!
The Natural Play Makeup Kit (with mineral powders and lip balms) from Aussie brand Pure Poppet is perfect for dressing up, and creating characters. There’s nothing better than watching the poppets have heaps of fun, and doing it safely!
Be too cool for school with Cath Kidston’s Big Spot Satchel, perfect for school days and library visits. Cool enough even for teens, this bright bag helps your mini me lighten the load, especially on days that start out spotty.
We just can’t get away from Disney Princesses, even when we think the kids need an educational tablet for learning. The LeapPad2 Explorer Disney Princess Bundle comes with a custom-decorated filigree LeapPad2 tablet, protective carrying case, 7 exclusive wallpapers sticker sheets, and 5 included apps – everything with Disney Princesses stamped all over.
Here’s a gift for the littlest of littlies. Hopewell’s Watercolor Quilt is besotted in colorful dots, making it’s unisex appealing to parents-to-be who haven’t quite discovered the gender of their bubba. Light and airy, this quilt is perfect for tropical environs, and its design grows with kids’ tastes, too.
On the other end of the feminist spectrum, the older Katniss Everdeen and Princess Merida worshippers would be delighted to receive this Nerf Rebelle Heartbreak Bow. They’re only lethal to your pocket, ‘cause you definitely need to spend more on the darts.
Forget the fort building and take cover with Ferm Living’s Kids Tent. This striped stunner in monochrome comes with two windows, so watchful parents can keep an eye on activities inside. What’s special about this tent is how easily it stores behind a door when not in use!
Got an aspiring fashion designer on your hands? We were quite impressed by this rather sophisticated Draw Evening Gown Fashion Workshop, which is good for kids aged 9 and up. If tinkering and making pretty things are more up your kid’s alley, gift them this Safety Pin Bracelets set – she’ll definitely make one for you!
Stylish kids know that no any festive outfit is complete without the right accessories! Little fingers get to twirling with this cute MYO Indie Bangles Kit, equipped with everything your budding jewelry designer needs to steal the scene.
