Yesterday on the 10th November I was invited to attend the annual unveiling of the Myer Christmas
animated window displays in Brisbane's CBD. I have in previous years taken my family in to see the
displays, however I have not had the chance to explore the past two years since having my youngest,
my life has gotten a little crazy, so it was nice to be able to wander around with my two toddlers in
tow .....well mostly, mostly my two year old, Rory just kept on wanting to run away from me and
explore on his own! Yep fun, NOT ALWAYS, just trying to make it through without losing a child
and keeping my sanity (To which as my sister who kindly tagged along with me said 'I think my
sanity is still at Myer.' Yep, mine too!

The event begun at around 11am where we were greeted upon an inviting display of personalised

jars of Nutella and gift bags. As we lined up I spotted mine right away and I have to admit, it was

a pretty cool thing to have my own name displayed on my very own jar of Nutella! Oh YUM!

Nutella was not the only personalised gift available throughout Giftorium. This year Myer has

thought outside the box and really done a great job at making this Christmas something extra

special. Who doesn't love their name on a keyring, xmas stocking or mug? If you want to give your

loved ones something extra special this Christmas, be sure to check out the range of gifts you can

have personalised with their name or initial for that added touch!

If you have little ones who need a photo with Santa, even though you pay a premium price, I think it

is worth it as I took my eldest for her first two Christmas photos and they far stand out from the

more convenient/cheaper ones we have had since. The whole experience isn't just waiting in line for

a photo with impatient kids in tow. There is a whole room dedicated to the kids when you go to meet

Santa at Myer. You can now even book your time with Santa in advance to skip the queue! YES!

The set up is full on and is really magical including Santa's Express train FREE for the

kids to ride over and over again and the staff are really fun and make the whole experience really

enjoyable for them. There is also a photographer there to take pix which you have the opportunity

to purchase if you like or even instead of a Santa photo if like mine now they are a bit older get a

bit freaked out when it comes to sitting on his knee. A really fun (scream free) alternative! :)

Rory (2) & Imbi (4) have got their golden tickets & are ready to ride the train!

Don't forget to check out the spectacular Christmas window displays down at Myer's Queen St Mall

if you're in Brisbane. This years animated theme is based on the children's book 'Little Dog & The Christmas Wish' by Corrine Fenton and illustrated by the mega talented Robin Cowcher.

You won't be disappointed! You can shop the book here.
