It's less than seven weeks till Christmas and as the shops fill to the brim and the frantic pace steps up a notch, I'm intent on keeping it simple. My children will be gifted something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read but I needed inspiration and I'm guessing you would like some too. So I contacted some of my very favourite companies and asked them if they would like to suggest one or more of their much-loved items for a gift guide. Before long, I was organising a giveaway! Once again all the companies involved have been incredibly generous - thank you. Because Christmas is all about giving and sharing it seemed only right that I divide the gifts into three beautiful packages. There will be three winners. Gift Pack One includes: 1. Purdey Bonnet by Dover & Madden - a handmade 1970's inspired ski bonnet featuring a bubble design sized from 3months-36months. Winner will choose size and colour - $41. 2.

Yeow! Thanks for including NZ :) I love your gift guidelines! "something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read" and I think we will stick to this as well!
Oh my goodness, count me in! I like to keep it simple at Christmas too, it can get way out of control & really quite overwhelming for little people otherwise..x
Beautiful array of goodies....fingers crossed (for the prize and a simple, peaceful lead up to Christmas) x (follower - find that so funny to write sometimes!)
I have followed the same mantra of gift giving for many Christmas' past and it really has helped to keep things simple and real. So many wonderful ideas here for things to fill my little one's stockings (although those bonnets might just have to hang on for Easter when my littlest one arrives). x
Am a daily reader of C&F via iPhone and when I can - luxuriating on the computer. Happy to be a part of your community. Have now extended the love and invited others. xo
Wow! What generous folks to have shared so many amazings products with you! Thankyou for giving us the opportunity Jodi :) I am a regular visitor to your beautiful space and am also a "follower" :)
Ok Jodi, I live in Germany but I am technically an Australian reader AND will be moving home next year and have a posse of family/friends who could ship these goodies over if I was lucky enough to win. xx
Morning, Che & fidel has been my introduction to blogs, I am now addicted to an afternoon cuppa and read of yours and now a handful of others. Thank you.
I have also shared your competition post on facebook.
Hey Jodi, I'd love to be entered! I've already liked you on FB and have blogged about too. :) Thanks for putting this generous (and beautiful) giveaway together and good luck to all whom enter! Luna U. x
Thank you for the opportunity to win one of these beautiful gift packs, what lovely generous supporters you have. I know a 4 year old grandson who will get many giggles from the "farting monster"
My eyes went straight to the shoes in each giveaway pack. I cannot keep up with how fast Jarvis's feet grow. I would love for him to have a pair of stylish shoes like in either giveaway one or two. Oh, but the fart book! If you ever slept a night with my son you would understand how much this rings true, we call him our fart machine. Amazing giveaways!
There is something in each of the packs for all the gorgeous babes in our lives, our two fellas, nieces and a nephew and along awaited new baby boy for friends. Such beautiful treasures as always Jodi, thanks for the giveaway :)
