So, does anyone know how you get a job as one of Santa’s elves? Because I think that is one gig I could really get into to! And if I could create my own position, it would Chief-of-Ideas Elf! I’d have to keep it on the hush-hush from dear old Santa, but one of the first spots I would be going to collect ideas would be 5 Little Monkeys – www.5littlemonkeys.com.au!

First stop for ideas is fashion (of course!). 5 Little Monkeys stock clothing for girls in sizes 000-12, and sizes 000-16 for boys from fantastic brands including: Ouch Clothing, Miatom, Oobi, Baobab, Wilkie, Nurtured by Nature, Two Belles, Tommy Rocket, Three Little Trees and run Scotty run just to name a few.

But what gets this little elf all excited, are the fantastic range of products to be found in the pages titled Gifts and Fun and Accessories! So many delightful ideas to be found in here like the button necklaces from Spotted Giraffe, or a drink flask or two from Alex & Charli.

Children, art and craft are three things that are just meant to go together. So, next ideas to note down are from the fabulous brand Spencil proudly stocked by 5 Little Monkeys, for all things arty and crafty. And then I would happily add one of everything from the range from Tiger Tribe - just to be sure I wasn’t missing out on any of their fantastic ideas.

There are also lots and lots of goodies to be found under $10, making 5 Little Monkeys a one stop shop for filling Christmas stockings this year. Don’t have a stocking? Pick up the perfect one at 5LM in the form of Cocoon Couture’s White Tweet Christmas Sack!

Have you stopped by at ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au – lately? You really should – Bronwyn has really outdone herself with gearing up for the Christmas silly season, and has lots of gorgeous new products in store, and a fabulous offer too!

“A fabulous offer?”, I hear you ask. Well, yes indeedy, and it relates to our all-time favourite beanbag brand – bBuy any Cocoon Couture beanbag before the end of November 2009, and receive a FREE Early Bird or Sleepy Owl Library Bag. Nice one!

While you’re browsing through the all the Cocoon Couture bean bags trying to choose which colour and design you want – there’s so many to decide between! – make sure you check out the creepily cute new Monster Couture gear (a new offshoot of Cocoon Couture). And I should also point out the Cocoon Couture Santa Sacks, which are sure to sell out quickly as we approach December, so get in quickly!

Freshly arrived at ShopHouse is hot brand Moppit, with some seriously funky tees and shorts ready for summer. And have you seen the gorgeous Silverado children’s jewellery? Silver charm bracelets in a variety of sizes to fit just about any kid you know, and a huuuuuge range of charms to collect for them. What a great Christmas idea for a little girl – it’ll become a very special keepsake for her, and she’ll love choosing new charms for it.

I was also thrilled to see that ShopHouse now stocks Sophie the Giraffe – or Sophie la Girafe, as she’s known in her native France. The ultimate teething toy and around since 1961, Sophie is made from 100% natural rubber, making her completely safe for babies to gnaw on all day long, and beautifully tactile as well. She has a very happy squeak when squeezed, and looks so sweet and appealing that she’s bound to become your baby’s best friend in no time. Sophie is a huge favourite in our house, I can’t recommend her enough!

I’d be remiss not to tell you that the famous ShopHouse sale section currently has up to 50% off top brands! We’re talking OshKosh, mill&mia, and the little dog laughed, Baobab, Cuddlefish and Oobi, plus you’ll also find some Cocoon Couture beanbags in there marked down by 15%! There’s a LOT to choose from in this section, and I’m willing to bet you’ll find more than one bargain you can’t live without…

I’m having a bit of a problem at the moment. My two year old saw some of the more gruesome Halloween costumes in a shop last week, and now is terrified of the ‘scary monsters’. It breaks my heart to hear him crying about the scary monsters in his room each night, but until now I haven’t known how to help him get over this terror.

However I think I’ve now found the perfect antidote. How cute are the little monsters on the Monster Couture beanbags and backpacks pictured below?! I’m sure that having one of these friendly little monsters in his room would cure him of his monster phobia for good; they’re just so happy looking!

Monster Couture – www.monstercouture.com.au – are a new cousin of one of our favourite kids interiors brands, Cocoon Couture.

In conjuction with their sons, Monster Couture’s designers Ingrid Daniell and Melanie McLeod have created this new collection with kids who love all things spooky and kooky in mind. With the same high quality as the Cocoon Couture products, these backpacks and beanbags now feature the Monster Couture signature characters: Bat Star and Captain Shaggy!

The beanbags are the perfect Halloween gift, or put one away for Christmas – these make the perfect addition to your little monster’s room, kids looooove beanbags, after all! And the backpacks and library bag are the ideal bags for trick or treat loot, plus they’ll get years of use out of them for school or pre-school afterwards too. I really love this range and can’t wait to grab some of it for my household!

As befits this gorgeous range, Ingrid and Melanie are really getting into the Halloween spirit at the moment: they’re offering a 20% discount store-wide to KidStyleFile readers for the month of October. To place your order, email Monster Couture with your order and mention the code ‘KSFMC09′ by 31 October 2009 to scare 20% off your order.
