A Xmas Less Ordinary: My Top Five Picks

December 9, 2014 By jbmumofone 8 Comments

It is that time of year again when many of us are scratching our heads trying to get away from the usual boring Xmas gift ideas.  Never fear I am here to help with my top five picks this festive season so, before you buy another box of smells or another pair of socks take a look at these:

 

The Very Hungover Caterpillar

The first would make a lovely stocking filler.  “The Very Hungover Caterpillar.” is a really cute parody of the classic children’s tale except this time it follows the quest of one man as he attempts to shake off his hangover, eating whatever he can get his hands on and annoying his family along the way.  This is available on Amazon for £6.99

 

James Hance: 'Luke Said Be Still'

I may have mentioned the wonderful James Hance just once or twice before but I cannot resist including him again.  We are totally in love with his “Wookie The Chew” range of prints but now he has also given ‘Where The Wild Things Are” a Star Wars twist.  I love this one.  ‘Luke Said Be Still’ is available from his UK site for just £10.

Mary Berry Cake Plates

For those obsessed with all things baking I love these pretty cake plates from Mary Berry available at The Handpicked Collection.  A set of four costs £24.95 and you can pick up matching forks there too for £14.95.

 

The Handpicked Collection: Proud Fox Doorstop

We were lucky enough to be sent this gorgeous Proud Fox doorstep, also from The Handpicked Collection which is sure to brighten up any room and retails at £19.95.

Olivergal.com: Elvis Mugshot

 

Finally, a bit of an investment but a perfect gift for art and music lovers alike.  I am in love with this Elvis Mugshot Canvas from Olivergal.com.  It retails at a hefty $159 but I think it is just awesome.  You will find many other celebrity mugshots at this site and is well worth a look.

So there you have it.  My top five picks this Xmas.  Anything take your fancy?  Do let me know below.

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
