Last Minute Halloween Costumes, Halloween Events & Free Science Exhibition

Hi there

Are you gearing up for an (unofficial) long weekend? We will be taking a trip to Portarlington, only our second ever-trip to this cute seaside town, in order to get some R&R before the silly season starts. I'm looking forward to a huge pot of mussels!

Then I'll be back at my desk, going all in for Christmas. Christmas celebrations seem to be happening earlier and earlier these days!

If you're already in the festive spirit check out what we've already written about LEGO Christmas sets, the new Melbourne's Christmas Wonderland experience and the Christmas Lights Festival in Geelong, to Where to Buy Christmas Trees in Melbourne and where to find the best Christmas hampers!

Are you taking some time off this long weekend?

P.S. Have you started Christmas shopping yet? To help you save time in finding the perfect gift, I’ve curated a list of gifts and experience to please even the hardest to buy for at the Tot: Hot or Not shop.
