I love a little bit of cyber shopping/browsing and have a nice little folder in my browser for all the fab sites I come across. One site that I was introduced to recently is hardtofind.

hardtofind. is like an online shopping centre with little boutiques offering a cool and unique range of goodies. The first thing that grabbed me about the website, is how it is set out. You can shop by categories such as home and garden, travel, gifts, women, men and kids and these categories are then further broken down so you can narrow your search. There is also the option to shop by brand. I love this option – it makes it very easy if your looking for something that goes together.

If all this wasn’t cool enough, most of the products have FREE shipping and gift wrapping! hardtofind. let’s you know if the shipping is free right on the products information page so there’s not disappointing feeling when you get to the checkout.

So, would you like to know what I’ve found on my travels around the “mall”???

I love Print Art. This “Play Room Art Print” by Milk n Honey Designs really caught my eye. I love the wording and the fact it can be ordered in a stack of colours means it will work with any decor!!A cool gift idea I found was this “Scrabble Mug” by Shop Until. Just imagine what you could have spelt out on your coffee table :)

Now if by any chance you’re hunting for a gift for me, you can pop this “Oilcloth tote bag in Doilie Berry” by Dandi on you list. Very, very cute!!

If you’re after a gift for a new little bub, this little”Dribble Bib” by miss lilly is gorgeous!!!!!

Now, before you leave me and pop off for a spot of cyber shopping, I have a little giveaway for you. For your chance to win a “Lunchskins sandwich bag” in a cute little

lizard design from Pukekos in Gumboots, as shown above, simply leave me a comment telling me about an awesome product you have found on hardtofind. For an extra entry, share this blog post via Twitter and/or Facebook and let me know as a comment. This giveaway is open to Australia residents and will close on Friday 23rd of March 2012 at 8:30PM EDST. The winner will be announced on my blog on Saturday 24th of March 2012.

The finer details of this challenge can be found at Aussie Mummy Bloggers. The gist of the $20.00 Kmart challenge is simple – I have $20.00 and a Kmart catalogue for inspiration, what items would I buy? After having a good look at the online catalogue, which has the title “everything for kids at low prices”, I decided to let 5 year old Jacob loose on this challenge.
He carefully scrolled through the catalogue declaring he didn’t need the “girl stuff” or the “baby stuff” and ooohing and aaahing over all things Ben 10 who is of course his hero! He quite proudly stated “I have that t-shirt – I picked that the other day” to the Ben 10 shirt on page 21.(I have also grabbed the Spiderman one and put that away for Christmas, – sssshhhhhh!!!).
 
So after a lot of thought, Jacob has decided with his imaginary $20.00 he will be buying  a 17” licensed skateboard – Ben 10 of course for $15.00 on page 15 And a new T-shirt to wear to kinder – the boy one NOT the girl one – for $5.00 on page 1
Honestly, I thought he may have been swayed by the great priced lollies on page 17. But my clever little man had a different plan for those. Since he did all this “work” for me, he should be rewarded with a packet of snakes for $1.00 on page 17!!!
