It feels a little early to talk Christmas but in this house we’ve learned our lesson and realise we need to think ahead.  Not only because of Christmas but also because it’s my daughter Anya’s birthday just a little before Christmas.  Which means more gifts, a party and a very busy time for me.  This December we’ve decided that we’ll give her a big gift for her birthday and then just little stocking fillers for Christmas.  My usual style is to go tearing around at the last minute but this year I am determined be a lot more organised and so, I started buying her stocking fillers about a month ago (I know, I can’t believe it myself!).  Also this helps spread the costs over a few months and I don’t end up getting desperate and buying stuff just for the sake of it.   I thought I would share my finds in case they gave you some ideas and inspire you to start planning ahead if you’re a last minute type too:

1.  Bow hair clips…  2.  Sparkly bangles (from India but you can get similar at Accessorize)…  3.  Elephant placemat…   4. Sonny Angels
