Ava & Yves
We’ve long been a fan of the gor-geous character cushions that Ava & Yves make and they just keep getting better and better. Make sure you take a look at their por-celain range too. The little cups would be the perfect milk holder for little hands. Our favourite is the fab ‘supergirl ‘ mug.

Karen Brost London
The new home and accessories range is an exciting addition to Ka-ren Brost London this season. This feather print quilt and pillow and horse print cuddle sack would bring a touch of luxury to a new nursery. There is also a bespoke designer gift box collection which allows you to choose from a selection of add-ons for a truly special Christmas gift.
Little Mashers
These fun and in-teractive placemats make dinner time that little bit eas-ier when out with young children! Made out of soft calico, these cool placemats come in 4 different designs and include a little bag of chalks. They can easily be tucked into a bag to take out for a peace-ful and enjoyable meal out with the family.
Love Frankie
Super cool interiors and accessories brand, Love Frankie make the most ex-quisite lampshades out of gorgeous contemporary and retro fabrics. Wheth-er you love a bit of mono-chrome or prefer a bit of colour in your life, you’ll find the perfect lampshade amongst the huge array of
choices. We love these gorgeous pompom fringed shades. Team with a contrasting neon lamb base to go ‘far out’ funky or opt for a simple white base for a toned down look.
63
Funky Feet Fashions
Best known for their range of soft and cute baby shoes and slippers, Funky Feet Fashions also sell a range of gorgeous clothing, accessories and homeware, many of which can
be personalised. Their fab Christmas home range includes fantastic cushions and lambskin fleece bean bags as well as blankets and bunting. What a brilliant gift idea to create a cuddly space to play with all their toys on Christmas day.
Bisou de Lou
You can find the most del-icate wall-hangings, toys and cushions made from beautiful fabrics in the softest of colours at Bisou de Lou. These super cute and contemporary cre-ations are lovingly hand made using luxurious in-terior fabrics that not only look good, but feel good too. We love these stun-ning Kites and dream catchers, perfect for a nursery.
Lulu & Nat
If you’re struggling to re-decorate older kids rooms, look no further than the amazing Lulu & Nat? It’s so difficult finding bedding that is grown up enough for their taste but young enough to still be a childs room. We love these new star print and rose print du-vet sets. The perfect answer!
64
Turner & Cox
We love a bit of vintage and at Turner & Cox, they source a fantastic range of vintage and industrial furniture and toys for the whole home. We love this rocking horse and range of wooden sledges. Perfect for winter!

ValuabletipsforstockingfillersA good stocking filler toy has at least one of the following attributes: size, application, value, and style. The perfect stocking filler has all four and, collectively, cleverly delivers two more…distrac-tion for them and self interest for you.
SizeAll mums know size is important. You need the gift to look impressively big yet still fit in the stocking thus inflating your true generosity at this early stage in the day!
Miller Good-man Mini Face-maker wooden blocks game will fit into any stocking with-out ladder-ing! It’s heavy so feels like a proper gift, appeals to all ages and has good attention span. Early brownie points gained here.
T o y e l l aCarl Shaw, head honcho at the multi-award winning toy retail-er, Toyella, knows a thing or two about toys. He has shared his expertise and given us some tips about shopping for stocking fillers. There’s an art to buying the perfect gift... read on to find out how to get those big smiles on Christmas morning!
66
StyleTrue gifts look special from start to finish. From
the gift wrap to the packaging and during the unravelling. Before reaching the toy itself the more ‘wows’ and cools!’ heard is good news for all.Toyella is all about style and originality as well as value and application. Fillers like Stick-lets, Tegu, Eyecatcher, Flip Dolls or Oogis have all the above qualities but also a layer of uniqueness that lasts
past 6.am, past Christmas day and beyond.
Get close to these four levels and the stocking filler time of day suddenly becomes the foundation of a glorious holiday season! Merry Christmas.
Visit Toyella for loads of inspiration for Christ-mas.
ApplicationA normal lie in may be past 7.30 for many. On Christmas morning get-ting past 6 a.m. would be considered a success. In-crease your chances by delivering stocking fillers that keep them absorbed and distracted. The Plus
Plus sets have an amazing capacity to put children in an almost t r a n c e - l i k e
state. They can be kept busy for literally hours. Not only that, it’s a totally scalable block set so it sets you up for an easy solution to future pre-sents…the kids will actually ask for more Plus Plus!
ValueA good stocking fill-er remains a long term gift. Low cost toys often fail on that front. Con-sider a Mox to reverse the trend. Mox is the ultimate open play toy for children’s imagination. Make Mox talk, pull faces with Mox, juggle Mox, fidget with Mox, balance mox, fit marbles as eyes. Mox is a dura-ble and endearing distraction toy - a long term toy for the children, suits all ages and at £4 is an original addition to any stocking. At the same price is Snap - a finger powered propellor that will have the whole family trying to show off their flight skills during the day. You may even coax them outside with this toy! A m o m e n t ’s peace.
