Direct from the ever-gorgeous Monkeytail & Wellington – www.monkeytailandwellington.com.au – here’s the hands-down coolest Christmas present idea I’ve seen yet: how about getting your little hero a spectacular Little Hero Super Cape, mask and power cuffs, and a matching Side Kick Sock Monkey (complete with its own cape and powercuffs, natch)?

Now, seriously, what kid wouldn’t totally adore that?  I remember spending hours and hours running around the back yard as a kid with a pillowcase/towel/Dad’s jumper/whatever else I could find draped around my shoulders shouting ‘POW!’ ‘BAM!’ ‘KERPOW!’ as I defeated the evil villains of my imagination.  I can only imagine the pure delight I’d have felt if I’d been given one of these stunning capes and my own sidekick to aid in my adventures.

The Little Hero capes are custom made in the US and feature a silky satin finish and a nice secure snap closure so that they don’t fall off just as the baddie is about to take over the world. They’re fully reversible and the collar can be stood up to add that extra element of mystery.  And if you want more accessories to really complete the outfit, you can also get matching masks and power cuffs!

The capes and accessories take about four weeks for delivery, so it’s a good time to start thinking about ordering now – beat the Christmas rush.  Alternatively, the green/dark green star, pink/yellow lightning bolt and the red/blue lightning bolt designs are in-store at Monkeytail & Wellington and ready to ship now.

The sock monkeys ship within about three days, and are also individually made to order. Standing about 20″ tall, they’re made from Rockford socks (imported from the US) and stuffed with wool – perfect for the rigours of superhero-domm and all the hard work that clearing the world of evil entails. Each Side Kick Sock Monkey wears a miniature Little Hero cape and Power Cuffs in a choice of three designs. If you’d like your Side Kick to match the custom cape you’re ordering for your kid, just contact Vicki at Monkeytail & Wellington to let her know.

If you prefer your sock monkeys to be more about cuddling than baddie-busting, you can also get Sock Monkey au Natural.  What a gorgeous little snuggler he is!

The cut-off date for ordering Side Kick sock monkeys and Little Hero capes in time for Christmas is 15 November.  They’re going to be extreeeeemely popular, so I’d get in even earlier than that if I were you!

I just adore Monkeytail & Wellington – www.monkeytailandwellington.com.au. Owner Vicki has created a wondrous boutique of uniquely creative and exuberant products from passionate local and overseas independent designers, boutique brands and artisan crafted products that inspire me every time, and she’s always adding more new and fabulous things.

If I had to explain the feeling Monkeytail & Wellington gives me, it reminds me of reading my favourite childhood story over again and loving it every time – “more! more! again! again!”. It also tickles my fancy to see what the M&W mascots, the dino and monkey, are up to on each page – it’s just a delight and a joy.

Woohoo! <sound of running feet and front door slamming>

That’s the sound of me heading over the M&W pronto: I’m off to buy some Little Hero capes and accessories, Cutecumber goldfish hairclips (we just acquired some real goldfish, and we love them!), Verve jazz CD (major cred for their musical education), and another Owly Shadow Puppet or two for me to play with for my children’s upcoming birthdays.
