When I was backpacking in Europe and had no cashola/space for a Christmas tree, I simply cut out strips of wrapping paper, interspersed with rows of lollies, and blu-tacked them diagonally on the wall of our flat in Edinburgh.

Little did I know that our improvised wall art (which, by the way, looked pretty cool and was also edible, always a bonus) was actually the height of what’s hip in decor.

Wall stickers/art/decals or whatever you like to call them, are an inexpensive and easy way to update a room (and they’re not just for kids!) Removable – renters, rejoice! – and without the long-term commitment of a new paint job, there are SO many designs out there it can be a bit daunting. So here’s the KSF lowdown on the hippest buys you can nab online.

Mooo wall stickers are made from “a strong fine-weave adhesive fabric that doesn’t stretch easily and will stick to almost any surface including, brick, glass, and painted walls.”

Mooo have a huge range including these delightful Chalkboard Stickers from $15 a pack. Imagine your kids’ delight when they’re told they can write on the walls!

They also have a huge range of absurdly cute sticker designs, all with a plethora of colour options, from $60 for a pack of 48.

I found these For Walls Chalkboard decals over at the The Hip Infant and immediately fell in love. This little owl ($29.95) is possibly too cute to draw on, but he’d look so adorable perched on a wall! THI have a large range of For Walls stickers – look, I found elephants! – suitable for baby, boy’s and girl’s rooms.

Monsters or Robots look totally cool for little boys, while girls will love the pretty Shimmering Butterflies or Magic Tree designs.

For Wall Sticker packs start at $39.95.

Over at Urban Baby, a wide range of Wallcandy kits are just waiting to adorn your walls (or chairs, or tables, or wherever!).

Imagine how cool the Candy Factory ($119.95) would look, and how much fun to use – the kit contains 5.5m of lawn and 12 lollipop flowers for you, sorry, I mean the kids, to ‘plant’!

The Rococco Chalkboard ($49.95 inc chalk) would look equally at home in your kitchen, or try the beautiful Season Elements kit ($49.95) in the nursery.

Quite frankly, I’m lusting after them all!

Ekidna Kids stock wall art by Bosco Bear and My Munchkin Home, and you’re spoilt for choice: each and every design is just sooo cute! My picks? For the nursery, this giant mint Giraffe (on sale for $71.96) including dots to add as you like; for little girls a magical giant Fairy Castle (on sale, $103.96); or a herd of roaring Dinosaurs ($89) for little boys to play amongst! Bosco Bear also do a great range of seasonal decals (like this chic Christmas tree set, $89) so you can totally get into the spirit of the season, without necessitating a total renovation!

You’ve probably seen the gorgeous designs by Little Chippi floating around quite a few of your fave online stores – Shop House stock them all plus some cute Little Chippi Gift cards – and there’s a good reason this brand is so popular: the designs manage to combine cuteness with chic, and they’re Australian made.

I can just imagine a little boys room being suitably adorable with the Drive Time set ($82.95) and I’m seriously contemplating the Red Robin ($82.95) for my daughter’s room…if we can make space around all those elephants and owls…

Surfing around in the name of research, I also found the Wall Sticker Company, based in Melbourne and stocking designs for the home, office, kid’s rooms as well as a custom design service.

Check out this cool Elephant or Giraffe Custom name design (perfectamundo: “Charlotte” on an elephant, my search is over!) for $75, or imagine those most magical of words, “Once Upon A Time” ($55) tucked into your child’s favourite reading corner. These cute Jungle Animals ($65) are perfect for a nursery, or delight little boys with these cool Monsters ($65)! While you’re at it, add a calming influence to your work or study space with this gorgeously simple Blue Wren ($50) or consider inspirational quotes to add a point of difference to other rooms (from $65).

Please check individual sites for shipping details.

Attention Shoppers: I have some superb news for you today:

All you have to do is enter ‘KSF72′ at checkout to claim your discount but be warned: you’re going to have to be quick to claim this one: this discount expires at 9am on Wednesday the 19th of November. Don’t miss out or you’ll be kicking yourself!!

Even better, everyone who spends over $50.00 using that code (not including postage) will receive a FREE Drop Buddy, valued at $9.95

Ekidna Kids is a great place to get sorted for Christmas (even without the discount), as it’s packed full of brilliant gift and decor ideas to really make the season sparkle.  You can also take advantage of the FREE gift wrapping service!

Ekidna Kids also has a new Loyalty Program: for every dollar spent (excluding postage and applicable discounts) a point is earned.  Each point is worth $0.05 and your points are automatically redeemed against your next purchase.  Sweet! So time to get shopping

Limited on space, can’t be bothered spending hours putting the faux fir tree together or don’t want to spend the festive season sweeping up pine needles?

My pick for the day is Joanne’s fabulous range of Bosco Bear wall art, in particular the Christmas tree decals of which there are several to choose from.

Just stick one of these super-stylish tree decals to your wall and voila!  You’re all set for a chic and hassle free Christmas, while still feeling festive and – all importantly – there’s still somewhere to put the presents!

Bebe by Minihaha is well represented at Ekidna Kids, you’ll be glad to know, with the full range of new season’s gear for girls and boys. I love Bebe’s twist on vintage and the exquisitely soft fabrics they use.  It’s a deliciously giftable range – if you can bring yourself to give it away!

Looking for a ride-on for your little tacker? The YBike is a sure-fire winner for kids from 18 months – 5 years.

For gorgeous stocking stuffer ideas, Ekidna Kids has some great products all ready to go.  Anamalz are a favourite with everyone, and the Accoutrements tins of designer bandaids (of course!) in pirate and cowboy designs will be great in the stocking and will patch up and scrapes or bruises on the day.

You can get lots more ideas for gifts and Christmas decor by visiting Ekidna Kid’s Christmas 2008 section.  The well-stocked Specials section is always worth a look as well; I’ve spotted many an amazing bargain in there.
