10 t h i n g s

so there are a few things that i love about christmas...one is walking through the shops, seeing all the window displays, christmas goodness dripping from every surface.
this year, however,  it's been one of those christmas' that seems to have flown right past me...and normally when all my presents are wrapped and ready for under the tree, they are still in my mind, in list form, ready for a free day to shop...
so, i decided i would put together, 10 things...10 things that i loved, and love, friends who are totally talented, and all of which you could easily order or buy for your friends and family this christmas.
.perfect.




1. the dietrich collection candles.
amazing scents, organic soya wax, and personal favourites of ours!
{in store for purchase}

  



2. 'little poppett' bandana bibs.
seriously if i had babies, they would be dressed in these delightful threads for sure...these gorgeous bandana bibs are a personal favourite, stunning fabrics and perfect for the little sailors or pretty gypsys in our worlds!
{pop into store for these or online www.littlepoppett.com}










3. rituelle organic soaps.
made in australia, organic ingredients, smells like your bathing in floral amazingness! available in lavender and vanilla, and lemongrass.
{available in store}





4. 'seedling' flower press. 
all i know is that when we were growing up, my favourite thing to do on holidays and on weekends, was wander around the garden, picking flowers and pressing them in my mums flowerpress. so for nostalgic reasons i saw these are NEEDED them in my store!
{very sweet you'd agree}





5. poppies for grace journal.

6. christmas hamper.
always a family favourite, we take one of these home every christmas, full of all the things that make christmas, christmas!

7. blacklist studio prints.
this is something close to my heart, something i have written about before, love mercy (www.lovemercyfoundation.org) and blacklist studio (www.blackliststudio.com) have teamed together... with the talented nate and jayne, from blacklist, creating gorgeous christmas prints with all the proceeds going to those in need in Uganda.
