Australia's Going Disney !

Has anyone noticed that Australia is going absolutely crazy over 2 adorable mice and their friends - Thats right I'm talking Mickey ! I am one of those nutty people ( and bonus Walt Disney is born on the same day as me !) so today I thought I would share with you all the cool places that have started selling Disney + Mickey Mouse Products!

1. Typo - yes that's right disney stationary !
Typo over the holidays and should still now have mickey mouse products + all his fellow stars like Alice and Bambi! I have gotten all my exercise books + my pencil case from Typo and LOOVEEE IT! Every time I look at it, it reminds me of disneyland !




2. Mickey Mouse + Friends Pillow Pets
Obviously Big W Don't have a massive disney range - BUT they have Mickey Mouse + friends Pillow pets! I almost had a 'magic attack' when I saw them !( get the joke , although it's lame :) ) And of course me being disney nut decided to buy it ! I believe they're $24 or something like that - probs one of my favorite disney products !

3. Mickey Mouse Pj's
Peter Alexander also have adorable Mickey + Minnie sleepwear ! They've even got a Mickey mouse ONESIE - I am still to buy mine but thought I better share it :) check it out at https://www.peteralexander.com.au/shop/en/peteralexander/catalogue



4. Mickey Mouse Clothing
Jay Jays also have started selling Mickey mouse clothing ! I cannot wait next time I'm at a shopping center as I really want to buy the Mickey mouse original sweater ! I've attached the link below :)

5. GET CREATIVE !
A few weeks ago I was really bored so decided to get a little creative with disney + Mickey ears. Off the internet I printed a few Mickey mouse templates bought some nice paper from Smiggle + Typo and just started cutting out these Mickey templates onto the nice paper and made some really cool mickey ear decorations. I then got some fishing line - and hung them up!

Gift Card Ideas

The easiest, quickest type of gifting besides money are gift cards. You can practically get them ANYWHERE these days - everyone is buying them these day and they've become too ordinary. So how do you make your gift card stand out ?

1. Peter Alexander Gift Card

Peter Alexander gift cards work like any other gift cards - there's nothing really special about the thing itself - but the packaging is amazing. Note: PEOPLE ARE PACKAGING SUCKERS - packaging is what makes it! Weird but true!  At Peter Alexander for free they will package the gift card in an ever so cute box! Then you can add things like a bow - and a matching card to make the ordinary gift card extra special ! You can buy Peter Alexander gift cards at any store or online !




2. Load And Go

I received one of these a few years back ! So far it's been the best gift card i've ever been given. it opens so many opportunities as to what you can buy ! You can use the Load and Go card in a store or what I love ONLINE! there are so many things that myself and i know others have been like " i saw this online - but can't get it in australia in store". The load and go gift card enables you to shop online , in a way which is safe !



3. Colour Code Gift Cards + add ons
Colour coding can make all the difference ! When ever buying a gift card - always think colour wise! This will make it easier for you to add add-ons. For eg. Pink Gift Card + Pink pen + Pink Card. Little things for around the value of $2  will definitely enhance gift cards - yet keep it's value!
