It’s Never Too Early to Think About Christmas Gifts!

​
It may sound crazy, but the time has come - yes, already - to begin ordering lines of Christmas gifts for your store.  With only 3 months til Christmas and delays anticipated worldwide due to supply chain and postal service disruptions, there is no time like the present to get started!

You may not anticipate a huge rush before December, but as an early-bird Christmas shopper myself, I know that the shopping season kicks off sooner than you’d think. In fact statistics show that around 40% Australians have started their Christmas shopping by the end of October.

So, I’m here to help you get inspired and secure your stock early to ensure you present a brilliant, enticing selection to your customers when they hit the streets (or the internet) in just a few weeks time.  Make purchasing Christmas gifts a cinch for your customers, with these unique and thoughtful gifts from some of my favourite brands here at Knee High Agencies!

Christmas Party Outfits & Clothing Gift Ideas

Whether it’s for Santa photos, school Christmas concerts or festive parties - every little person needs a stylish outfit for the holiday season.  Below, you’ll find suggestions which are so singular and sweet that they’re sure to fly off your shelves, from some of Kneehigh’s beloved children’s clothing brands…

• Karibou Christmas outfits

Forget garish bright red, piles of sequins and Christmassy cartoon characters.  The Christmas outfits from Karibou are beyond beautiful; chic, tasteful and exquisite in dark shades of cherry red and forest green.  From babies to kids, boys and girls - this collection will be on every Mama’s ‘must buy’ list this Christmas, so get in early!

• Indigo and Lellow 

Christmas in the southern hemisphere means little party-goers are most comfortable in light-weight, natural fabrics.  Browse Indigo and Lellow’s range of organic cotton rompers and sweet, light-as-air tutu skirts for the kind of easy, breezy and adorable clothes that parents are seeking for summer days.

Stocking Stuffers that Stick Around
Stocking stuffers have a bad reputation as being landfill-in-waiting.  More and more parents are looking to avoid this problem and fill their little one’s stockings with sustainable, useful  toys and gifts which are destined to stick around beyond next Christmas…

• Wild Eyed Press Books.  Christmas isn't Christmas if you don’t receive a book, right?  Parents love to encourage their children’s love of reading, and a bright, colourful Australian picture book is just the ticket.
• Little Woods Twirly Straws.  Plastic straws are becoming a thing of the past, thankfully - but kids still love to sip their juice and milkshakes out of twirly straws!  These ones are made from 100% non-toxic silicone and come in a range of pretty colours.
• Glitter Girl Make-Up & Accessories.  This kid-powered business brings us a bounty of glittery yet planet-safe products year round, but they really come into their own when parents are shopping for stocking-fillers for their sparkle-lovin’ little Miss or Master.

​All Wrapped Up: General Christmas Gifts
Last but not least, are the ideal mid-price-range gifts that parents seek as something extra for their own children, or a gift for a cherished little friend or cousin.  I’ve also included some gorgeous ideas for grown-ups, because let’s face it; after all this Christmas organising, we deserve a beautiful something pretty damn special too!
The following brands have smart ideas which hit the sweet spot for wider gifting, retailing for between $15 and $50.

• Poppy and Daisy Mini Kits.  Sweet, unique, sustainable and fun, these DIY kits that are designed to encourage creativity with natural materials!  The starter pack is a fantastic option for Christmas ordering, with a selected quantity of top sellers across the range, that come with a free wooden mini stand for display. 
• Truly Amor Journals.  A great gift to stock which enables parents to help older children to start a mindful habit in the New Year with a pretty journal created just for kids.
