Christmas - Coming Atcha!! – 11.11.2010

I’m always amazed at how the holidays just sneak up on all of us. We are just going along our everyday things, la-de-da, one day you hear someone humming a little Christmas tune on the tram… soon after, a sign or two about sales, in the shop, you hear people talking about stocking stuffers, and buying multiples of little gadgets or playthings. You think nothing of it until one day, Blam!

I came home a few days ago to see my stay at home writer husband Josh, sitting at his desk in his boxers wearing a dollar shop elf hat, felted red and green, with giant pointy elf ears poking out the sides.

Oh my god, The Holidays are here! I mention the boxer shorts, as this is pretty much his daily uniform in house during summer. And the hat? He found it stuck under the junk drawer in the kitchen while searching for pencil leads. It was a treasure from our first holiday in Australia, before I knew how hot summers could be, and I tried to stuff him into a reindeer sweater on Christmas morning.

So, begrudgingly it is time to hike up those boxers, get like an elf, and get ready for the holiday season. This newsletter is filled with all new goodies, from the stocking to the stuffers.

For those of you Nearby, we will be part of the MARKit @ Fed Square in a few weeks. Here we’ll be toting special deals on our best items, as well as the coveted mystery bags for 20 bucks! We will share the Atrium with over 30 other designers and shops, so if you want to get things done quick, come and see all of Melbournes greatest design shops under one roof!
