Hello lovely Make Cafe lovers - Miriam here barging in with a few wee thoughts. Hi!
So you want to make a world of different to a little person this Christmas? Of course you do. Here are my super simple suggestions for people who have great intentions but need some support to follow through. (That's me!)

I just got a wind up torch from the Warehouse for the box I'm doing with the kids. It was $7 but no batteries required and sure it will bring a lot of fun to the recipient.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to do these collectively!
Not for this years Christmas boxes... but next year the "Back to School" stationery sales at the start of the year are a great time to stock up on notebooks (usually 5c-10c each) and other stationery.
