Advent Calendars. Time to start planning!
December is still six weeks away, and I'm refusing to start thinking about Christmas just yet (I saw the Christmas decorations up on Oxford street earlier this week and it didn't seem possible! Can it really be that time of year already?!). But... I do love Advent calendars -- it's one of my favourite Christmas traditions. ...

Thoughtful and beautiful gift boxes from The London Gifting Studio
To give, but mostly to receive a gift that was chosen with care, with love, with attention to detail, with just that extra something, is so, so special. A gift that has meaning, a purpose, that is (and becomes) an experience and a memory -- those kind of gifts are the best ones. But which busy parent has the ...

Sweet illustrations, by Laura Uy
Laura Uy is a Canadian illustrator with such a lovely, playful style. Her work mainly focusses on greeting cards and prints, which make great decor pieces for children's rooms. I love that bear in the photo above, so whimsical (the gold stars are hand-painted and make the print extra pretty). Laura's greeting cards have such sweet illustrations with the cutest puns. There are cards for ...

What a fab idea! Couldn’t find it on the Elias & Grace website you mention but just seen it’s available from notonthehighstreet.com. Thanks for the tip-off!
So funny! I read about Maileg Christmas ornaments one year ago in Babyccino and I decided this morning to see the new products in its website and publish a post about what I have seen (so beautiful products!) in our blog (www.bebestilo.com). After that, and like every day, I entered Babyccino to have my daily “dose” of your incredible finds and I saw a post about Maileg! Loved the coincidence! Did you see the Calender Pixy Embroidered Girl by Maileg? It’s another incredible idea for an advent calendar!
So Cute!
I too am planning on doing the Christmas book advent calendar this year.
Such a pity, I can’t find a way to get it in France…help! Anyone know what shop/site has the advent calendar in France??
And how adorable are the dress-up pixie-hats?

I’d love to find someone who stocks those online and ships to the UK.
My daughter adores her Maileg mouse in a matchbox so I have bought her the super-sweet wooden pram for the mouse for Christmas (also bought from Elias & Grace). Lovely!
Hi again! I think http://designerleg.dk (which is the Maileg online concept store) ships internationally, and also spanish online shop Blaubloom ships to France and UK between others, hope you will find this information useful! 🙂
^^^thanks so much Mar, I am going to check the site again, it was in dane I think??
