Shopping for the Kids - here's to character and charm!

With less than four weeks to Christmas - wouldn't you like to be one of those people that can grin gleefully and gloat - 'I'm done with my shopping'?

Well we decided it was time for a little classic inspiration for the kids. Something with true character that they will treasure enough to keep for their own kids. Maybe it's something that (just quietly) I actually want myself? Kids are a great excuse to buy those wonderful, whimsical and unpractical things you just love!

We've trawled many-a-store and come up with some gorgeous picks to help free your imagination and really tackle that kids list.

Ensuring all items ship worldwide is something we've worked hard at, but don't forget to check out delivery deadlines so you're not left with an empty tree and excuses from Santa on the grand day!

You'll find this sweet musical wind-up bunny from TangerineToes here.
