The joy from receiving that one thing you hoped for under the tree on Christmas morning is totally euphoric!

For You & Me
Buying for others brings us joy, but buying for ourselves can also be a fabulous feeling!
"Everyone smile!"
We’ve all got that one person we know who captures everything on their worn out smart phone camera, and sends it to you later over email which isn’t really the best quality but we accept it anyways to be nice. It doesn’t always have to be like that. Why not gift them a nice handheld camera like the Canon EOS M50 available at Harvey Norman, which takes fabulous photos!
On the rocks
A good set of tumblers is essential in any home. Whether they’re kid-friendly for your ever-growing family or big and tall for the drink enthusiasts, there’s a classy glass set for even the most refined palette. Drink in these Malibu Tumblers that come in a set of 4 from Pillow Talk, with palm tree detail that’ll be sure to give that fancy summer feel.
Pair of palms
Who really can’t resist some tasteful wall art that can go anywhere? Art is a great option for people who aren’t fussy and who love decorating. The Sabah Frame Canvas Wall Art from Pillow Talk is a nice pair of palm tree art that is sure to bring that summer feel right indoors.
For the Masters of Play
There’s no one who is more excited than your children on Christmas morning, ready to open up all of the presents under tree! These three gifts will be sure to rock their Christmas!
School holidays are full of travelling and awesome family adventures, but we know for the little ones their attention span can be challenged a little too much. Chucking on a movie on the portable car screens is a major win, but also, we don’t want to be hearing all the crazies of kids shows. These JBL 300BT On Ear Headphones from Harvey Norman won’t only isolate the sound to your kids ears, but they come in all different fun colours to make your child feel extra special!
Decorating a kids room is easier than you think! Incorporating colour, patterns & some fun characters that your child is interested in is the perfect recipe for a fab kids room! They might never even come out! We love this Rainbow Wall Hanging from Pillow Talk that will be sure to bring a cheerful smile to whoever looks at it.
Beach trips are a classic family adventure in summer but we know that heat and the distance can sometimes be a bit too much for the littles. Bring the sand and water into your own home – don’t worry, it won’t be too messy! The Keezi Kids Table and Chair Sandpit Set from Harvey Norman is a great addition to your backyard for your kids to play at to keep them busy.
