Gift Guide
Stocking Fillers!
5 December 2016
I love stocking fillers. I know they're the presents that most people hate because they're generic and usually things you may not want, but I think they can be so fun! Whoever said stocking fillers have to be boring?

TV & MOVIES
20 November 2016
Let's be real here. Because although I always ask for make-up or jewellery for Christmas, the things that actually make up the majority of my presents are probably related to TV or movies. They're such easy things to buy people as most people love one movie or another, and you can probably get something cool that relates to that! You can guarantee that half of my presents will be Harry Potter related in one way or another! So I thought I would share so cool things you could get fellow film and TV lovers!

These aren't released until November 29th. But they're so cool! The Buzz Lightyear ones are my favourite! A necessity for any Toy Story fan (which is everybody, of course)
A little pricey, but if you know a wine lover who is also addicted to Game of Thrones then these would make the perfect gift!
Probably not the easiest mug to drink from, but definitely one of the best!
This is only the coolest keyring you could give any Lord of the Rings fan!
Know any Star Wars fans that also like woolly hats? Or fluffy slippers? Well, you're in luck! Because these Yoda style hat and slippers ss awesome!
These little guys are all the hype lately, and I can see why. I have a quite a few myself (obviously all from the Harry Potter range) but they have SO many to choose from! You're more than likely to find one for the shows you love!
These are a definite must for any Friends fan! The bottoms remind me of series 1 or 2 Rachel, and who wouldn't want to look like Rachel Green?
This has a pretty steep price tag, but on the scale of awesomeness it tops it! The inside even has prints of the dalmatians. I think I need this!
Probably not the most instagram-able calendar, but who doesn't love The Nightmare Before Christmas?!

Christmas is fast approaching and so are all the limited edition beauty sets! I tried to make this a range of high end and drug but it did turn out more high end. Although, I generally think people prefer to splurge a little more at Christmas and buy nicer, more expensive, items!
THE GOODS!
Tanya Burr Manicure - This 'Mrs Claus' manicure set is so cute! The varnish is so sparkly and Christmassy, and it also comes with a miniature emery board!
Anastasia Glow Kit - I'm kind of obsessed with the Anastasia Glow Kits lately. The 'Sweets' edition has such a perfect combinations of colours; nudes and pinks. Personally, I prefer pink tones to some of the more nude tones of the other glow palettes - but they're all amazing!
Charlotte Tilbury Mini Matte Charms - How adorable are these mini mattes from Charlotte Tilbury? Obviously they aren't very big but they're a perfect gift for any make-up lover as you get 3 lipsticks for just £29!
Morphe Palette - SO many people own the Morphe 350 palette, but their Fall into Frost is just on another level! The colours are all so pretty and offers a lot more than your basic nude shades.
Guerlaine Météorites - This loose powder compressed into tiny multicoloured pearls is so perfect. But at over £40 it generally isn't an everyday item that you'd buy yourself, so it's a perfect beauty gift if you want to spend that little bit more!
MAC Nutcracker - The MAC Christmas range is all so pretty; the pink and purple packaging is just amazing and so are the products. Anything from this range is a must for all beauty lovers - but especially these pigments!
Urban Decay Liquid Liner - Everybody loves liquid liner! But sometimes it's nice to ditch the black and opt for something a little more out-there. And these UD liners are perfect for just that!
Barry M Nail Varnish - I don't know about you but I absolutely LOVE Barry M nail varnishes. They come in the most amazing range of colours and they're so affordable. They make great stocking fillers!
Jouer Lip Crème - After seeing a post on Cult Beauty about the Jouer lip crème in the shade Snapdragon I knew I had to have it. It's a beautifully winter shade of pink, perfect for this time of year!

ZOEVA Strobe Gel - The Zoeva strobe gels are the perfect illuminators! Just layer them for a natural glow or intense strobe effect; great for any occasion!
Spectrum Brushes - Spectrum have so many amazing ranges of brushes. The colours are incredible and they're actually great quality. The Glam Clam is probably one of my favourite sets but there are so many to choose from!
Too Faced Melted Matte - The Too Faced 'Melted' range are all the rage! And their new Christmas edition shade Candy Cane is perfect for the season! It even smells like peppermint mocha!!
Milani Powder Blush - At £9 each this blush is a steal! They have an amazing range of colours and the flower design gives it that extra touch!
If you have any more fab beauty finds that you're loving this Christmas let me know!
A Personal Touch
12 November 2016
I don't know about you but I'm SO excited for Christmas this year! I've been in the Christmas spirit since about August and I've already started buying and wrapping presents! I thought it'd be fun to do a personalised gift guide as I love to get gifts that are a little more on the personal side to your generic presents (but don't get me wrong, I love those too!).

Alphabet Mugs - There isn't a Christmas that goes by that I haven't bought somebody a mug! And alphabet mugs are the perfect way to personalise a gift. These from Bombay Duck, M&S, and Anthropologie are probably my favourite, although there are a lot of different options out there!
Engraving at Boots - I don't think this is something that's in every Boots store, but in my local they now have an engraving station. This means you can buy a product and get it engraved; from perfume to make up brushes! It's such a nice way to personalise a gift you were probably getting anyway!
Baubles - Ok, so these may be more of a Christmas eve present because they need to be hung on the Christmas tree, but they're so cute! You can get quite a range of styles and colours to personalise as you wish! They'd look great on the tree!
Photobox Calendars - I don't know about you but literally every year my mom asks for a calendar! I got fed up buying Bon Jovi calendars year after year so took to Photobox. It's amazing! You can personalise them as much as you want and it gives a really personal touch to something the could be so mundane!
Photo and Frame - One of my favourite presents to buy somebody is a photo frame with a photo in. It can be a photo of anything: a pet, a holiday snap, a childhood photo, etc etc. If I get somebody something like this I usually buy a frame from Paperchase as they're so pretty!
Disney - I don't know about you but I love Disney! And you can personalise loads of items in the Disney store; like this Christmas sack! I usually buy somebody something from Disney so it's a nice way to add an extra special touch!
Thorntons - Everybody loves chocolate! But instead of buying a boring selection box, how about you get one of Throntons personalised options? You just take it to the counter and they can write whatever you want on the chocolate!
For more personalised gifts you should always try Etsy or Not on the Highstreet; they both have amazing selections of items that can be personalised in one way or another!
