Hi Loves
Hope you are all doing well and enjoying this wintery week. Seriously how much has the temperature dropped this week, it’s great! Jumpers and Dr Martens at the ready!!!
So……It’s that time of year again, where everyone is panicking, songs start playing, tinsel starts appearing and everyone is muttering the big C word……. Christmas. It seems everyone is shoppingso far in advance these days, and I feel people almost compete with each other to see who has finished their Christmas shopping first. Personally I’m more of laid back Christmas shopper, I don’t overspend or buy tons of presents, as that’s not what Christmas is about to me! I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like receiving gifts, but it’s not a part of Christmas that people should stress so much over, and I know a lot of people do!
I’ve found doing a family secret Santa works really well, as it can take the “pressure” of feeling the need to by everyone and their aunt a present. Also it’s a good way to budget, set a limit AND STICK TO IT!
I’ve been lucky enough to receive a few Christmas releases from various companies. I just wanted to clarify that this is not a sponsored post and I will also be including items I have brought myself, which I think would be brilliant gifts.
1. Mad Beauty Advent Calendar
OMG seriously how cute is this. A beauty advent calendar, this includes a cute beauty treat behind each door. I’ll be doing a rundown on what is inside soon. You can expect body lotions, bath salts, bath bombs etc.
2. Yardley Christmas Collection
I love Yardley fragrances and I wore Violets and Daisy pretty much all through school, they are such good quality for the price. They have released a Christmas package, which includes a rose hand cream, which is packaged in a cute cracker. It is only £4 so ideal for a stocking filler. Hardly have also recently released some body mists, which also would be great stocking fillers.
3. The Body Shop Vanilla Pumpkin Body Butter
I have been raving about this since I received it a few weeks ago. As with all Body Shop body butters this is a thick indulgent consistency and leaves the skin feeling super moisturised and hydrated, also helps it smells amazing!
4. Spectrum Makeup Brushes
I am a makeup brush hoarder, I own 3 Spectrum brush sets at the moment, sure I will own more in the further. They are my favourite brushes, as they are so so soft, vegan and cruelty free. The designs and colours are the best, they are adorable. My fiancée brought me the mean girls set for my birthday and they are no exception. Any Spectrum brush set would make any lady (or guy) happy at Christmas!
5. Eden Vegan Perfumes
Ooooo I love these perfumes so much, they are vegan, cruelty free alternatives to designer perfumes, Eden scent match to famous fragrances. I can vouch for how good the scents are. I have Olympia and Bombflower. You can probably tell what they are dupes for. I really recommend this brand, as the fragrance lasts for hours and they are only £18! For 30ml. Great Christmas presents any animal lover.
6. Candles from Aldi (Jo Malone Dupes)
I have never tried Jo Malone candles, as honestly the price puts me way off, I’d never want to burn them at that price. Luckily I have found some shoes, which are available in Aldi for £3.99 each, they are huge and smell just like Jo Malone candles. Naturally I had to get the full set. These would make amazing Christmas present!
I really hope you enjoyed this post and it has given you a few ideas for Christmas. Have you started Christmas shopping? What presents do you have in mind this year?
As always thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog, means the world to me.
XOXO
