Exactly a month before Christmas! (wasn't it September about a week ago?)
For the last couple of years, I can't say I've felt too Christmassy, and left the shopping, wrapping and all that until the very last minute.. But this year is a very different and more festive matter!
I've already got part of our shopping done and dusted, in a very relaxed and casual manner, and so let me give you a little hand with yours :)
I didn't want to cop out and do an affiliate 'boutique' but perhaps ought to have split things up into different posts for the sake of my sanity creating these really-quite-time-consuming Photoshop collages, but alas, I've squished in over 180 ideas here for you, many of them my personal favourites; for him, for her, for the little ones, for the home (and just like last year, ideas for filling up those stockings), I hope you find something you love! xx
GIFTS FOR // LOVERS OF STYLE
I'm pretty surprised and pleased with myself that so many of these pieces are entirely affordable! I suppose I'm subconsciously giving myself the green light to treating myself aren't I? ;)
GIFTS FOR // THE BEAUTY OBSESSIVE
Just a little window into what's wonderful out there in the beauty world at the moment. I've included some of my favourites from the year like Lixirskin and my favourite sheet masks, makeup bags and perfumes. Christmas is always a great time to snag yourself a value set and save some pennies too, so please do feel free to treat yourselves as well as your loved ones ;)
