haiku winners and gift suggestions

bursting with excitement for the "Chriiiiimas Holllllldays"

...otherwise known as a very random Christmas-themed post. 

Firstly, haikus. Let's just say that you're an eloquent and rather poetic bunch. I loved reading through all the giveaway entries and I must admit, those three-line poems really did spark the Christmas spirit within. A few of my favourites included:

#8 - jobungalow
We put our heart in
To the gifts that we create.
Thanks! With love from us

Celebrate the King
born - a silent, wordless babe
the good news for all.

#48 - Olivia
She asked for beauty
"Be that beauty," they whispered
and her wish came true

#91 - Rachel 
Pavlova lusting
leaves jolly hips less trusting
Rudolph is amused

A red dust toddler
Only sees 'beach' in a book
Get excited, little one

But the contributors were unanimous with their votes and the two very deserving winners are:

Eucalypt and pine
hot music of cicadas,
I'm full to the brim.

#21 - samantha
Sounds of their laughter
echo through our sunlit home
Now, the house is warm.

I've ummed and ahhhed about creating a Christmas gift guide and with all my procrastinating I've realised that it's only two weeks till Christmas and time is, most definitely, running out. 

Breathe. It all becomes a little too much at times, doesn't it?!

A lovely design featuring beautiful products was out of my reach so I have simply listed some gift suggestions below. There are products that I've purchased for the children this year as well as gifts that they've been given in the past (and some that I've added to my list of "maybe, one day, I'll keep it in mind"). You'll notice that many of the links go to my sponsors but this is, in no way, a sponsored post. 

Without further ado...
...and now it's cup of tea time!

I hope you find this list helpful. Tell me, what are your children getting for Christmas?
