Mia (L) & Eva (R) both 20 months old

Christmas last year was a bit of a blur to be honest. I had 10 month old twins who really didn’t know what was going on, and the only thing on my Christmas wishlist was getting to have a shower that day! This year my girls are at an age where for the very first time they might just understand the magic of Christmas, and I look forward to spoiling them silly.

My Christmas shopping list terrifies my husband with its ability to grow daily. Here is a glimpse of how it looks right now:

1. Xick Black Leather Sandals $55.00- from Wee Willie Winkie Because girls will learn from a young an age to have a love of shoes. Made from leather, these shoes are just gorgeous for warm summer days.

2. Rhubarb Birdie Handbag $14.95 – from Stylish Kiddish I need to encourage my girls away from mama’s bags and towards their own, and how better than with this gorgeous birdie bag from Rhubarb?

3. Sparkle T Cupcake Stand $55.95 – from Stylish Kiddish Truly fabulous on the waistline are these wooden cupcakes from Sparkle T. They are great at encouraging imaginative play and the act of sharing.

4. Skip Hop Zoo Backpack Owl $34.95 – from Little Styles (In an effort to encourage a few sleepovers at Nonna’s house) I am loving this cute backpack from Skip Hop – they’ll love it because it will remind them of Hoot from the ABC’s Giggle & Hoot.

5. Old Soles Pavement Tread Red $44.95 – from Cornflowerblue I am a little embarrassed to admit to the fact that my girls now own 10 pairs of Old Soles shoes between them. This pair, however, are for my nephew who will love racing around in them. Everyone knows that red runners make you go faster. I also like this pair here from Mini Chatterbox.

6. Imp Blue Playsuit $49.00 – from Aunty Ollie I love this gorgeous brand; and either one of my babes will look lovely in this on-trend jumpsuit.

7. Janod Chic French Grocery Shop $125.00 NOW $115.00 for a limited time – from Lime Tree Kids Anyone say entrepreneurs? My girls can learn the art of making money young by running their own shop in this tres chic little French grocery.

8. Missie Munster Owlwise Dress $50.00 – from Little Pinwheel My absolute favourite piece for girls this summer. I love – they need!

9. Sparkle T Markham Machine in Pink $9.95 – from Stylish Kiddish To save my girls fighting over my nephew’s trucks they can have their very own. Being pink he isn’t going to want it, and at this price I can easily buy the girls one each.

10. Nursery Rhyme Blocks $34.95 – from Cornflowerblue What a fun way to learn nursery rhymes while also further developing fine motor skills.

11. A Child’s First Numbers by Alison Jay $24.95 – available from Design Child My girls love books and we have almost all Alison Jay’s books – except this one.

12. Contigo Kid’s Autoseal Drink Bottle in Purple $11.95 – available from Where Did You Get That? I love it because it will save me cleaning up spills and they’ll love it because it looks like a big person’s drink bottle. Everyone’s happy!
