A Quick Kitsch Stop Off at Little Citizens Boutique

Schools were closed today in Northern Ireland,  as they were used for polling stations in our elections. Smix & I took a trip to Ikea, and then stopped off in Holywood town centre to visit Little Citizens Boutique.

They have a really great  online store, but I like to call in to the physical shop just to see the quirky & unusual toys and gifts in real life. There are so many items I want for myself!

My favourite designer that they stock is  Meri Meri.

I suppose technically the cute hair clips, brooches and necklaces are for little girls, but with cats & cacti- they are hard to resist for me too!

I already have a set of three felt brooches in the cacti design, and today I bought the matching necklace. 

The store is just packed to the brim with cute & curious gifts, from newborn baby items right up to Michael's age range. 

We saw a really cool watch that you can program via an app to flash different colour combinations- a good starting point for coding skills later on.  Definitely one for the birthday wish list!
