Welcome to Olli Ella!
Christmas is fast approaching, and the hunt for the perfect stocking stuffers is on! Every year it’s the same story. Before you realise it, it’s already November, and the countdown begins again! It’s like we blink, and the year has passed; blink again, and suddenly our little ones aren’t so little anymore.
If there's one thing we've mastered since becoming mums who work at a kid’s toy company (dream job, right?), it’s how to make those stockings overflow with magic. When you’re looking for those magical surprises from Santa, a balance of fun and learning is the perfect mix. Whether you’re looking for something for a little adventurer, the animal lover in your family or simply an outfit for their favourite doll, you’ll find plenty of inspiration here.
We’re big believers in sharing, after all sharing is caring is what we tell our little ones - so here’s our top 7 list of stocking stuffers to make Christmas morning truly magical!
1. Binky Puppy
The Binky Puppies are the newest arrivals to the Dinkum Dogs collection, making for an incredibly cute addition to the family for any dog lover! Made from lovably soft fabric and the perfect size for tiny hands, these little guys make for the sweetest cuddle buddies and, as you might have guessed, each comes with its own dummy that attaches to their mouths with a magnet. Complete with sleepy eyes, with three different dogs to choose from and an equally unique dummy colour, they’re one of the top recommendations we have for your little one’s stocking this Christmas.
Binky Puppy Banjo is a staff favourite—Kayla’s son Rocky got his paws on one and separating them has been impossible (we’re talking tears!) Banjo comes with a blue magnetic dummy that attaches to his mouth, adding extra hands-on fun for little ones. Perfectly sized for tiny hands and just right for stocking stuffing, the Binky Puppy will bring big smiles and lots of puppy love.
2. Carrie Convertible Change Bag
For those little ones who love to emulate mum and dad by playing pretend parents, every mini caregiver needs the perfect bag, and the Carrie Convertible change bag is the perfect choice! Designed to be worn as either a cross-body bag or a backpack, it’s easy to adjust to let kids carry it the way they like. Inside, it’s spacious enough for those essential items like their Dinkum Doll’s hairbrush and a change of clothes. It, of course, comes complete with a change mat for those nappy and outfit changes. These bags come in a range of colours that match our Dozy Dinkums and Sollie Strollers (because we know style matters to mums too!). Slip one into their stocking and get ready for this bag to join every adventure. First stop: Christmas lunch!
3. Dinky Dinkums
Of course, these delightful friends made the list! If your little one already has the larger counterpart, our ever-popular Dinkum Dolls, they’ll love the Dinky Dinkums range. These little cuties are the perfect size to slip into a stocking and come with a 100% smile success rate. Aside from being the perfect size for little hands, they’re also suitable for children aged 18 months and up. Keep an eye out on the Dinky Dinkums collection; there’s always a new little family to discover with plenty of limited edition, extra special styles to choose from.
4. Holdie Folk
Pocket-sized pals, Holdie Folk fit perfectly into stockings, even in their adorable gift-ready boxes. There’s a Holdie for every child, no matter their interests! Discover charming Holdie Folk, packed with circus performers. The animal lovers of the world are spoiled for choice, with everything from dinosaurs and ice age animals to ocean dwellers and magical creatures. Palm-sized and ready for play, they’re suitable for all ages too. These whimsical characters may be small, but they bring big storytelling potential. We sometimes find ourselves getting carried away with them, too! Slip a few Holdie Folk into their stocking and watch as the magic and imaginative play unfolds.
5. On the Go Outfit – Strawberry
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that my little one gets more excited about new clothes for their dolls than for themselves! That’s why a new doll outfit is always a must in the gift stash. There’s always something new to discover in our Dinkum Doll clothes collection. Whether you’re treating your little one to a new pair of colourful Dinkum shoes for their doll or a whole new outfit that’ll transform their most-loved doll top to toe.
6. Berry Basket
For little collectors, the Berry Basket is the ultimate treasure-toter! Whether it’s for tiny toys, snacks, or those random bits they insist on carrying around, this basket is ready for it. And for us mums, it’s a sanity-saver when they decide they don’t want to carry their treasures anymore. Perfect for gathering, exploring, and keeping all their finds safe, these baskets are perfect for tiny hands while still being spacious enough for everything from their Holdies to their garden tea party essentials. There are a number of colours to choose from, along with a larger size if your little one needs something on the more spacious size.
7. Dinkum Dolls Brush
Finally, another accessory for your little stylist’s Dinkum doll is the Dinkum Doll hairbrush. Aside from giving them the perfect means of caring for their doll, it’s also a great way to teach them self-care and encourage gentle touch. Designed for tiny hands, it’s made from unbleached pinewood and comes with soft bristles that are ideal for keeping Dinkum hair tidy and perfectly styled!
