You know you’re the cool kid when your parents buy you Smiggle, I
remember it was the best feeling ever when my Dad used to buy me Smiggle gear.
There range is forever changing and forever growing, I am always eager to see
what is new in store (or my inbox.)
Now lets get down to Christmas talk J
When I cannot find that perfect gift for a child or have no ideas left I
always turn to my trusty Smiggle store at Epping Plaza, but when I do I ALWAYS
end up walking out there with gifts for myself haha (the kid in me will never
leave.)
So I thought I would pop together my top 5 Smiggle Gifts for Christmas.
The First of these items is
Penguin Electric Sharpener- $19.95
This little guy is a must have
for any desk, easily sharpen pencils in a flash. 7cm x 7cm. Height 10cm
Where you see Christmas you will always see super cute penguins, so I
thought that this was more then fitting. If I was going to give it as a gift I
would put a Christmas Ribbon around the box and I would be done.
Next year I face the first ever experience of school and having to deal
with all the stationary. I do remember as a child though mum dreading having to
sharpen all our new pencils and grey-leads, so I know this will make my life so
much easier (so thank you Smiggle and Michele :-P)
It also is not strictly Christmas and could be used any time of the
year, not just in December.
Shake Me Up Rocket Lamp- $14.95
Pull the
plastic tab from the base, give it a shake and watch it light up like a disco
and see the glitter sparkle. Batteries included.
4 colours
to choose from.Blue, Green, Yellow and Pink
Now I remember having a lava lamp when I was a kid and then mum taking
it off me as she heard of experiences where they would warm up too much and
explode. So luckily there is nothing to worry about with this super cute Rocket
Lamp that you shake up and watch the pretty silver glitter float around in the
lit up water. We were actually given one of these super cute lamps and I have
caught my daughter getting up to the toilet holding the lamp like a candle
guiding her way. It is not a big lamp at all and perfect for them little girls
and boys.
Pencil Case- Bubble Spot $14.95
Bright, cute and super
durable, these spotty bubble hardtop pencil cases are lined with felt and
feature two mesh pockets.
I love how compact this Pencil case is and how it has just the right
amount of spaces to put them pens, pencils and other accessories.
There are some really cool colours and there is the even a cute pack
that comes with the accessories in there and is only $29.95, and well worth
your cent.
Buying your child or someone elses child a present that will help them
get creative to productive is much better then sweets or something that will be
thrown out in a few months.
I actually went down and bought myself one so that I could use it with
blogging and take them necessities with me to events to take notes and what not
(maybe a sneaky signature here and there.)
Watch Treats- $19.95
Complete your Smiggle treats
look with these cool analog time display watches(batteries included). Floating
graphic elements with silicone band and graphic features.
This one is for them older kids or those that like to be on time and not
loose track. I know when I started high school I would almost always be late
for a period of school as we weren’t aloud to check our phones in school and
that was my only means of time. Plus this is a great treat to teach the
children how to tell the time properly and even learn numbers. We already have
a digital clock in the girl’s room so I can often ask Hayley what the time is,
in the hope she will get the hang of it and help her to learn how to tell the
time. Perfect for a filler or to find a gift for that some little body that is
all too hard.
Glow Light Up Ring- $4.95
Motion activated light rings.
Pull out the tab and watch it light up as you move! internal diameter of 15mm.
This is a common children's ring size and recommended for ages 4-12 depending
on the finger.
This is a perfect stocking filler or great for those little girls that
have behaved them self and deserve a treat. I used to look for lollies at the
shop when the girls behaved themselves, but now if they don’t get three crossed
up near their names then I will take them down to Smiggle to find their self
something small, or sometimes it is The Reject Shop.
Both my girls love this ring and I even wear it on my pinky finger and
watch whenever it is tapped it lights up with a bright white light and giggle
like a child.
It is only a little plastic kids ring but can bring a lot of joy to a
little ones life and bling them out (literally.)
So that is my top 5, from the more expensive to the cheaper gift I hope
I have given you some Smiggly ideas.
My love for Smiggle will forever grow and if you have never been into a
Smiggle store I would more then encourage any parent to have a look (even those
bigger kids.)
