Friendsmas lunches, work parties, kids' recitals and family events - it’s the most wonderful but certainly the busiest time of the year! Before you know it, you’ve remembered Elf on the Shelf but forgotten to organise gifts for your girlfriends, your in-laws and your significant other! Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered: from stocking stuffers to secret Santa surprises, here’s what I’m gifting this Christmas! 

 


With three little ones at home, we’re making the most of the Christmas magic while it lasts! House of Bimbi is my one stop shop for anyone who still believes in Santa. I love their carefully curated neutral essentials for expecting and new parents and cant go past these cute summer must-haves for poolside parties 
Christmas can be a challenging time of the year for some families, but it is also a chance to spread hope and generosity, if you are able to do so. This year, we’ve partnered with Lighthouse Care to help make a difference, and we invite you to support their incredible efforts too! From now until December 15th, you’re welcome to drop off toys and non-perishable foods at our James Street store to support Brisbane families in need. Find out more about their life-changing work here!
