Who’s keeping count of how many days til Christmas?  I’m sure I’m not the only one, but if I am… there’s SIXTEEN DAYS TO GO!

So this means that if you haven’t finalised all your shopping, it’s time to start thinking seriously about it. I recommend doing what I’ve done this year, which is to do all my shopping online. It’s ever so much easier than fighting your way through crowded shopping centres, and with stores like Paperartzi Boutique – www.paperartziboutique.com.au – you know you’ll be getting the most stylish gifts and outfits around.

Paperartzi Boutique stocks the creme de la creme of childrens brands, including Fred Bare, Oobi, Mamas & Papas, BIG by Fiona Scanlan, Alimrose Designs and dozens more. But that’s not even close to all you’ll find in store, because there’s also a wonderful selection of fashion for the yummy mummy including the much coveted Seraphine maternity jeans, American Vintage, Juicy Bear and Hudson Jeans.  Mums will also be keen to note the divinely high end nappy bags from il Tutto and Jooki – go on, treat yourself or pointedly send your husband or partner the link.

You really can’t go wrong here for kids gifts either. I think the new freestanding puzzles from Artiwoods are absolutely beautiful – the kind of thing you’ll want to leave on display once it’s done, rather than packing it away, and there’s a great choice of designs.  I also have to point out the Wheely Bugs (my boys will be finding these under the tree this year), and the ultra snuggly teddy bears from (minimink): awwwwww.

Drop-dead bargains? Paperartzi has those too, big style: be sure to stop in at the Clearance Section where you’ll find fine designer kids clothing on sale up to 75% off.

There’s no doubt about it: decorating kids rooms is *fun*!! With tastes and needs changing as fast as you can say DIY there are boundless opportunities to flex your decorating muscle….if only there was the time!!

Wall stickers provide a fast and effective solution to bringing your childs room up to date and Little Chipipi Moveables have a great selection to suit every situation. As the name suggests, these wall decals are moveable: you can take them off the wall and reposition them to your heart’s desire.

There are pirate ships, fluttery butterflies, chirpy birds, brmmm-y cars, whimsical flowers, roaring rockets and the sweetest little baby animals to bring life, colour and delight into your life.

I’m loving the new baby animals design, and am imagining them adorning a crisp white room with splashes of sea blue, burnt orange and fresh lime, dotted with birch furniture, with soft muslin curtaining draper luxuriously. Ah, perfection!!

There are up to 42 stickers in each gift-boxed Moveables pack and prices range from $59.95-$84.95.

Check the Little Chipipi Moveables website for all product details then make your purchase online from stockists here.

PS Scope the stockists, then check the KidStyleFile Current Offers page for any opportunities to get a great deal on Moveables wall stickers.

Please check individual stores for postage charges and delivery information.
