Christmas gift inspiration
Is that a collective groan I hear?
You know you can't escape it - the decorations and tinsel are already up in the shops, and soon we'll be getting bombarded with carols even when doing the grocery shopping...
I realised I was a little smug yesterday saying I had nearly finished all my Christmas shopping. So I thought I'd share a little gift inspiration with you.
Kamersvol Geskenke (literally, Rooms Full of Presents) is an amazing market that is being held for the second year in Irene, Pretoria after starting out in the Cape winelands. Think beautiful handmade gifts, fabrics, ceramics... It's a really lovely morning out and is being held from 29 November - 3 December with tickets from Computicket.
If anyone is looking for a gift for me this year, you are more than welcome to head over to Skinny LaMinx who makes beautiful fabrics and turns them into scatter cushions, tea towels, table runners and more, and get me anything, absolutely anything! (But especially one of these, please!)
I must admit that that I have done loads of gift shopping at Yuppiechef this year.
If you have a cheffy-type person in your life, I cannot recommend the Microplane Zester highly enough. It's indispensable for garlic, ginger and Parmesan cheese and once you have one in your kitchen you'll never go back.
A very cute site I came across recently, especially if you are buying for little-ies is The Crazy Aunt Company. They make hand stitches clothes for kiddies, and have some very sweet dresses and onesies, which are especially cute if you are looking to get a little something small for a little one overseas.
In Good Company started out as a party supply store, and now stock lots of lovely gifty things at their new shop in Parkhurst. Lovely stocking fillers too!
And last, but not least, if you are really stuck what to get someone...you can always get them one of these...
Yes, that is a BIG FAT hint.
Happy shopping!
