Did some Christmas shopping at Smiggle for my niece over the weekend. There is a lot of variety on offer and I'd actually never ventured into a Smiggle store before. I was pleasantly surprised at the different items on offer. It all seems to be pretty good quality and in plenty of different, enticing colour options.

I did find the pricing a bit over the top. But, being Christmas, I felt justified in splurging a little. I bought a hard pencil case, some scented pencils and a large eraser, all of which will delight my 8yr old niece who is keen to show off her name brand stationery at school next year!

The girl who served me at the counter was lovely, smiley and warm. I left feeling happy with my purchases and my experience there.

Approximate cost: $25
