If
there is one thing you need to know about me - it’s the fact that I LOVE
Christmas.
Everything
about this time of year is magical. I love everything from cosy nights in
with Christmas films, to buying gifts for friends and family.
My
Christmas feeling has well and truly arrived for this year, and I have a
feeling it all started when I did some Christmas shopping the other week….
Here
are a few of the goodies I picked up for friends and family!
Mandarin Cranberry Yankee Candle – Small Jar, £7.99
I
love candles, I think they really make a room feel warm and cosy in the winter
months. I could have gone for any candle,
but Yankee Candles are a personal favourite of mine because they come in so
many amazing “flavours”!
This
year I have picked up a couple of the Mandarin Cranberry small jars for some friends….
and one for myself…. The Mandarin
Cranberry is one of my favourite scents and really reminds me of Christmas for
some reason?!
Sized to go Fix+ - MAC, £10
I
know Fix+ is a product that is frequently spoken about in the beauty community,
and I have to say I jumped on the band wagon with this one. It is amazing. I use this product to set my make up in the
morning, and as if by magic, it lasts all day…. I believe this is down to
Fix+. Not only is the product really
good, but it is the perfect size for carrying in your handbag, or travelling –
I also think this is a great size for trying out new products.
If
you are on the Fix+ band wagon with me, why not share the secret and give
someone a trial size Fix+ this Christmas?
Red Floral Leopard Print Scarf – River Island, £15.00
This
item is right on the button price-wise. £15.00
exactly, and money well spent in my opinion.
I am definitely a “scarf” person, especially in winter when it’s freezing! I love the colours in it, the reds, oranges,
leopard print and dark green – on paper that really shouldn’t work, but in
reality it does! I actually own this
scarf, and I wear it all the time – it really brightens up an outfit, as well
as keeping you toasty warm!
Cath Kidston Star Mug – John Lewis, £6.50
Who
doesn’t love a cup of tea…. In a mug covered in stars? Whats not to love? I actually plan on giving this to my Secret
Santa at work, along with a variety of herbal teas! It’s the perfect gift for those
on a £10 budget!
Lush
has the perfect stocking fillers. If your
looking to “pad out” presents with something awesome and affordable – this is
my first stop. Lush has loads of festive
items, but I chose the Star Light, Star
Bright Bath Melt as it looked quite Christmassy and I am a magpie when it comes
to glitter! I have purchased Star Light,
Star Bright multiple times for myself, and have always really enjoyed it, there’s
something about a glittery bath that makes me smile!
Cold
days call for cosy nights in. These
slipper socks are so cute – I love the knitted penguin design! Next have a great range of thick slipper
socks this year, but these are definitely my favourites. They are already on my Christmas wish list!
So
there you have it! Some ideas for Christmas 2014!
