Scruffy Bunny No comments yet

Sometimes it just isn’t good to be a tidy little creature.  Just look at Scruffy Bunny from Unique Kids.

Isn’t he cute?  He has little squeakers in his hands and feet which will amuse babies.  He is soft, cuddly and squishable.

He would make a great gift for a newborn but I think he is good looking enough to sit on my bed and wait for me.

See?  Scruffy can be comfortable.   Click on the Unique Kids link below to find out more.

Are you a 24/7 maid?  Are you the one who does the cooking and cleaning and puts up with all the tantrums without being able to throw your own?

  2. The 24-7 Maid (She’s your Mum, not your slave)
  3. Real Mums Love To Salsa (Real Mums love to Dance)

I need a hit! No comments yet

Some days nothing works as well as a coffee to get you up and going.   It is such a known fact that coffee is idolised by our nations.  Don’t believe me?  Look here.

Coffee- Scrumptious drinks and treats.  This is from Tonic Gifts.   Feed your addiction and drool over the pictures at the same time.

 

 

A little warning is a good thing,  I think that, in all fairness people need some advance notice of your passion.  Let people know your coffee state of mind in something like this t-shirt from T-Shirt Magic.   

 

“Behind every successful woman…is a substantial amount of coffee.”

Blue Zamboo Sample Boxes 2 comments

I love getting product samples to try, don’t you?     I mean, why spend a fortune on a product until you know if it will work for you?

What about a good book? No comments yet

Winter is setting in here and at night all I want to do is to curl up with a good book.  Luckily Rachel GIbson has a new book out called “Not Another Bad Date.” 

What does a gal have to do to get a good date in this town?

Adele Harris can’t even begin to answer that question. She’s had so many lousy dates that she’s sure she’s cursed. Why else would every man she goes out with suddenly act like he’s lost his mind—and his manners? Adele thought life couldn’t get any more confusing . . . until she learns the marriage of her seemingly Miss Perfect sister is on the rocks. So she goes back to their hometown to give her a shoulder to cry on, only to run smack into Zach Zemaitis . . . the one who got away.

A nice, romantic piece of chick lit to while away the evening.  Available fromFishpond

Don’t Eat Me! No comments yet

I am not food!  I am soap!

These soaps look just like cupcakes and they are part of a new gift pack from Funky Soaps.  Two delicious and edible looking cupcakes soaps are packaged with a recipe book specialising in cupcake recipes.  Isn’t that a great idea for a gift?  See the soaps, start to wish for a real cake and, hey presto, the recipe book is at hand.

Other packs in this range include the Chocolate Gift Pack (aren’t you glad I didn’t show you that one?) and the Dessert Gift Pack (Look, Ma,  no calories!)  Each comes with two decadent soaps and a matching recipe book.  These are excellent kitchen teas and housewarming gifts. 

The P-Pod No comments yet

A while back A Good Sort posted some suggestions on gifts for mothers day.  Amongst them all I found this little treasure called a P-Pod.

The P-Pod carries all your essentials in a safe and clean little pod.  Don’t you hate it when you have to scrabble around in your handbag to find your pen?  Or when you finally find that stray mint only to find that all sorts of lint and crumbs have become attached to it during its vacation at the bottom of your bag?

The P-Pod comes complete with lip balm, refreshing wipe, moisturiser, hairband, tampon, sewing kit, antiseptic wipe, plasters, mints, comb, tissues and a pen.  Perfect!

It is for sale from A Good Sort.

I’m Becoming My Mother. No comments yet

\

This is the title of a funny new book by Anne Taintor.  Anne is famous for her clever matching of vintage prints with witty one liners which she has produced in a range of stickers, notebooks and other essentials of life.

I’m Becoming My Mother is a book which combines new work with some of her best loved images in one volume.  It is the perfect gift for any woman because Anne deals with motherhood and domesticity with her tongue frimly stuck in cheek. As an example, a typical comment by Anne is “Wow!  I get to give birth AND change diapers!”  It would especially suit those of us who are perhaps, shall we say, not very domesticated? 

Available now from Tonic Gifts.

How about a day spa? No comments yet

Reading the blog at Pink Heels definitely made me jealous.  The idea of having a day off to organise myself and bring some balance back into my life is excellent.   I want a day off, too, although one without the work!   I would love to go on retreat but can’t find the time.  Typical!  Still, you have to know by now that what Ms Feet Up wants, Ms Feet Up gets!.

That is when I thought of Wishlist.  Wishlist.com.au - Great gifts, every time.  They have a wonderful gift idea that involves over 2 hours of pampering at a Jurlique spa near you. 

The Day Spa Escape Package combines an Antioxidant Body Polish, or Herbal Marine Body Polish, and Aromatherapy Full Body massage and Aromatherapy Facial. The Day Spa Escape Package is a 2 hour and 45 minute treatment.

Who says that the gift has to be for someone else?
