Looks like it may be fair weather (if not roasting) for Easter this year. Hope you’re all coping ok with the heat, and feeling well prepared for Easter gifting and a nice break.

I have found THE most perfect things to gift for Easter, and beyond (or even before, as is my case!) this year. They are the Paul Frank ‘Small Paul’ products at Minifashionista - www.minifashionista.com.au.

In case you haven’t come across them before, Minifashionista caters for boys and girls aged 0-4 years, and carries an impressive range of brands that deliver individualistic styling for babies and kids.

They stock the coolest baby and kid brands including No Added Sugar from London, egg by Susan Lazar from New York, Small Paul by Paul Frank from California, and great Indie Australian labels including Two Little Banshees, Dick & Dora (who I love! I think I have just about everything they’ve ever done!), Posh Print Designs, Oscar Blue and Little Chipipi.

I am a sucker for cool softies, and the Small Paul Sock Monkeys are just divine (and affordable at $19.91 each).

I was going to save these goodies until Easter, but I was spotted ripping open the parcel, and I couldn’t resist early gifting :} I’ve never seen my kids bond so fast to a softie!

These large-sized sock monkeys are a delight; amiably friendly, and great quality for a good price. Their soft, long lanky limbs and tail invite easy holding, and they cut and archetypal scene, as the bounce and bop all over the house, in the grips of two lightening fast little people.

I also bought the Small Paul 3 pack of socks (also $19.91), as the tiny feet are rapidly turning into mini-surfboard sized feet.
My kids each wore all three pair of socks at once - a surprisingly inspired look. The quality is great, and they are a generous length; great for colder weather.

I managed to squirrel away these Little Chipipi Fridge Magnets, ($24.71) but I did open them and test them (after B1 and B2’s bedtime and they are so great! I am so glad I popped them in the order. They way exceed expectations.

I expected a traditional flat, shiny surface. Instead, they have a matt stippled surface (a bit like 3M mousemat surface; feels like dolphins!). These magnets have a lot going for them: the designs are very sweet, the quality is great and the magnet itself is highly functional, with a nice strong pull. They come packaged in a cute little top-opening box too. Neat-o!

I also couldn’t resist the Small Paul Trucker Cap ($19.91) for my nephew, who will be two in a couple of months. Yes, I love to be prepared!

It must sound like I’m spending spending spending all the time, but I always bag a bargain. Always.
