Don’t panic – but it’s only nine days until the official Christmas countdown starts. Have you dug out your decorations yet? If you’re looking for a bit of a revamp this year, then online kids furnishings and interiors store Little Living has a fantastic selection to help you do justice to the season.

Start building the excitement by stringing up the colourful Christmas Advent Garland. Can you imagine the kids’ faces when your Garland goes up each year, each of the 24 pockets bulging with a little gift to be unwrapped each day? It’s guaranteed to become a treasured family heirloom.

The Little “Brother” or “Sister” in a Box is a sweet stocking filler. Each tiny mouse comes with a super-comfy matchbox bed so they can travel anywhere.

For an advent calendar with a difference, try the Pixy Calendar. Clad in light dungarees with cheerful pockets number one to 24, this quirky elf makes a friendly addition to your festive trimmings.

While you’re at it, check out the full range of Little Living’s hall-decking goodies, including Santa sacks, Christmas stockings and ingenious gift ideas for boys and girls aged 0-12. Who knows, you could have Christmas all wrapped up before there’s so much as a squawk from that partridge in a pear tree.

Speaking of wrapping, Little Living is providing free gift wrapping for up to five items LMNOP readers buy in the store, each wrap worth $4.95. Just make your purchases before 15 December and type in ‘LMNOP’ at the checkout.
