If it was down to me, I'd have all of their houses but I've only negotiated for one in our toy strewn home. This is my round up of eleven super-hot playhouse buys that you'll not want to hide away. We'll be getting either no 6 or 7 from Habitat - Habitat have managed to pull of the most gorgeous wendy house ever! Looks better than anything I had back in my 'youth'! The hot buys start from just £6.99 for the Igloo.

Looks like this is the advent calendar that'll be making it into our home. Featuring designs on two of the sides with the other two sides ready for you to customise, it comes with the wooden sticks to feed through as little handles for display on the fireplace or shelves, or they can be strung up as a garland to hang on the wall or around the tree. There's hardly any left after they were sold out after Bodie and Fou mentioned them on their blog. Definitely one to take out year after year.

I love Panduro Hobby! Imagine your Ikea catalogue and swap the contents with crafting, hobby and decorating goodies and think heaven. As far as I’m concerned, everyone with a penchant for make-your-own and wallet friendly decorative touches should have one of their catalogue’s on their bedside table. Or, hotfoot it to their site.

They have wool felt (you know I have a thing about felt), wool for felting, spray paint, fabric paint, stuff for making jewellery, oodles of paper goods, so you could, for instance, make your own cards, Christmas decorations, big letters made from wood and papier mache, blank gear to print on (aprons, bags, clothing), stuff for decoupage and scrapbooking – sweet jaysus the possibilities are endless and if that weren’t enough, there are handy tips and tutorials too. Oh and they even have unbelievably well priced wall stickers – see an example of an owltastic one on Bambino Goodies! If you’re planning to be doing a spot of make-your-own for Christmas or want to add personal touches to bits and pieces around your home, this place is brimming with ideas.

I am ordering up some papier mache letters for £4.50 each after seeing the fabric covered letters by Flares and Fountains at Anthropologie recently for £12 each at the Regent Street store and I shall be making my own and featuring on here very soon!

Panduro Hobby has been around for years and yet it seems to be one great Swedish secret – well not anymore it’s not! Get 15% off until 18th November 09 when you enter the code PJP01. Click, click!
