When I was contacted by buysterbedroom.com.au and was offered a choice of some products to review from the entire buyster catalogue, I immediately headed for the kitchen section because I had browsed this site before but just hadn’t had a chance to purchase anything. Bill had mentioned a few times that he wouldn’t mind getting a pasta maker so he can make fresh pasta for our meals. We ... Read More
Bill and the kids have done a great job over the years when stuffing my stocking. Bill does sometimes ask if there’s anything in particular that I want. One particular year, I really want to try some acne treatments that were being advertised, so that’s what was in my stocking. In case he asks again this year, I thought I’d list a few things: bed ...

Bill has got to be the worst person to buy gifts for! There’s no use asking him what he wants because he’ll either say he doesn’t know or he doesn’t want anything! But I found a few things that might be fun gifts for him: Bottle Opener T shirt from Dad Shop; Kokoda Silent Soldiers Figurine from Dad Shop; Golf Shoe Slippers from Top Gifts. ... Read More

Make your own Lip Gloss from Gifts Australia; Friendship Bracelet ... Read More
William (DS17) is probably the most difficult to buy gifts for. He has a strange sense of humour and while he likes ‘useful’ gifts, he also still likes gag gifts and nick-nacks. So I kept this in mind while I was searching for gift ideas: Multi Coloured Soccer Ball from Simply Gifts; Stainless Steel and Black Cord Bracelet from Gillett’s Jewellers; Brat Distressed ...

If I see things throughout the year that I think would make great stocking stuffers for Christmas, I buy them and put them away in my gift closet. While going through what I’ve already bought I noticed that I didn’t have a lot for the toddler’s stocking. So I did some brainstorming about what else I could fill her stocking with: bubbles ...

I like to keep the magic of Santa alive during Christmas and it was all good in our old house because we had a fireplace with a chimney that Santa could come down. But in this house there is no fireplace so we had to think of another way that Santa could come in on Christmas Eve, put the gifts under the tree and enjoy the cupcake and ... Read More
Having one less thing to worry about at Christmas always helps because it’s such a crazy time of year! So I take advantage of the pre-paid Christmas hampers that Chrisco and Castle offer. This year’s delivery will be the Traditional Hamper which has everything that we need for Christmas Day. My only problem is that I need to make room for it all in our freezer and pantry! ...
