Candy Mint Designs: Reader Offer!

If you are after a gorgeous piece of statement jewellery to spoil a special friend, family member or yourself with this Christmas, then look no further! Candy Mint Designs make the most stunning pieces of handmade jewellery. All pieces are made with love by the super clever mamma Tiffany who lives over in Adelaide.

Not only does she have the most divine pieces in her store, but Tiffany is also more than happy to work with you to create a piece to suit your recipients (or your own) tastes.

 

Necklaces are only $20-$25 and the studs are also an absolute steal for only $5! How could you resist the mint?!

 

 

My absolute fave, are the Mummy and Me pieces where you get to share your own necklace design with your little one.

 

Necklaces for your mini me are only $15.

 

 

I absolutely LOVE a bit of matchy, matchy (can't you tell?!) and Miss C was so thrilled to have the same necklace as me, she is refusing to take it off in fact!

 

Reader Offer

 

Tiffany has very kindly offered all Utterly Organised readers the chance to get 20% off their orders. Simply use the code UTTERLYORGANISED at checkout to receive the discount.

 

This offer is valid until 3 February 2017, so there is plenty of time to get your orders in for Christmas and for upcoming birthday's for 2017 (sounds so scary!).

 

The design that Miss C and I have is called Denim and Dots and it is STUNNING! I wear a lot of neutrals and pastels and this works with so many items in my wardrobe. I am sure you'll be seeing this number a lot of my outfit of the day posts...

 

 

 

 

Decorate with Mint Imprint this Christmas! Win and Reader Offer

If you thought the name Mint Imprint sounded familiar, you'd be right! The gorgeous Ally from Mint Imprint is the very same that designed the amazing printed material for Miss C's Minnie Mouse themed 1st birthday.

 

This time Ally is back on the blog sharing some new (and stunning) Christmas themed printed material and goodies that have just been added to her Etsy store.

 

As we all know, I love a bit of glitter and sparkle (especially at Christmas), so this printable wall art is me! This design also comes as an invitation, perfect for those Chrissie parties you have coming up at your house or workplace.

The printed designs also come in a silver scheme if that is more your thing!

 

 This year Ally has her popular felt ball garland kits available in some traditional Christmas colours.

These look just beautiful as an alternative to the old tinsel on the tree!

If traditional is not your colour theme, then you can have the kit made up in a huge variety of shades (32 to be precise!) to suit - this grey, white and turquoise combo is just beautiful.

 

 

Reader Offer

As an exclusive offer for Utterly Organised readers, use the code UTTERLY25 at the checkout in the Mint Imprint Etsy store to receive 25% off your purchase.

 

This offer is valid until 24 December 2016.

Little Raya Sunshine Accessories: Win & Reader Offer!

One of the very first purchases I made when I had Miss C, was one of the gorgeous headbands from Little Raya Sunshine Accessories.

 

 

Gah - I wish she was that little and squishy again!!

Rouba (mother of two gorgeous girls) is the clever lady behind the brand and my obsession with her pretties has just grown (and grown) over the years. I am just excited now that Miss C will FINALLY keep things in her hair! 

 

In addition to their pretties for the hair, they also have this beautiful Emmy Bow Clip Hanger.

Available in 3 different colours, these are an absolute must for any little (or big!) girl who loves her bows.

At only $19.95, these are a perfect stocking stuffer or gift for the little girl that has more toys that she can deal with! They also look gorgeous hanging up in the room too.

If you are yet to enter the Santa's Little Elves giveaway, you can also enter that here while you are visiting! More amazing giveaways coming up next week, so stay tuned!  

Santa's Little Elves: Personalised letters from Santa Claus himself!

Excited doesn't even begin to describe the reaction of my two when they discovered that Santa Claus had posted them a letter from his home in the North Pole! If you want to make Christmas even more special for your little ones, then you have to check out Santa's Little Elves. These guys are responsible for lifting the magic level of Christmas up a notch (or three), with their range of personalised letters and certificates from Mr Claus himself.

 

 

For only $12.95 your children will receive a personalised A4 letter which arrives in an individually addressed envelope (cleverly posted inside a discreet envelope to you). There are 7 individual areas that you can personalise your letter to make it more suited to individual siblings. For example, describe where Santa will leave the presents at your home, what activities your child has enjoyed throughout the year and what Christmas activities they love to do during the festive season. You children will be amazed by just how much Santa knows about them - proof that he really is watching all the time!

 

 

I love that in the letter, Santa invites the children to help him out by joining his team of Santa's Little Elves. As one of 'Santa's Little Elves', children are encouraged to help spread the true Spirit of Christmas by helping those less fortunate within the community. You get to personalise this too, and include a suitable activity such as donating toys or contributing towards the Wishing Tree.

 

Santa also includes a few little Christmas gifts with each letter he sends, so expect a little Christmas sticker, decoration and colouring sheet too.

 

My only word of advice with these letters is to film your little ones as they open their envelopes. I really, really wish that I had of done this as the reactions when they realise that Santa has sent them a letter truly is so priceless!

 

Important Ordering Dates: 

 

To ensure you don't miss out this year, final orders for New Zealand readers are taken on 27th November 2016 with all letters dispatched on Friday 2nd December 2016. If you are in Australia, 3rd December 2016 is your final day to order with all letters heading out on Wednesday 7th of December.

 

 

Reader Offer:

For a limited time, Santa's Little Elves are offering Utterly Organised readers the chance to save $1 off their personalised letters and certificates. Simply pop the code Christmas in at checkout to receive the discount off your purchase. This offer ends on 27th of November 2016, so make sure you get moving!
