I'll be honest, by this point i have normally done 95% of my Christmas shopping, but this year.. well i've barely scratched anything off the old Christmas shopping list, with one thing or another (work, illness, general business), it just hasn't happened. But i am about to get busy and shop shop shop!
Have you managed your Christmas shopping yet?
I've put together this little gift guide for all the ladies in your life, some lovely items for any lady, whether that be a mum,mother in law, daughter, friend or sister.. These feminine items are bound to please, and that's a personal guarantee as all these items are handpicked by me and i love love love them 😀
I've filmed a vlog of this as well as this blog post so feel free to watch or read (or both?) And i would love if you could subscribe to me YouTube channel too!
1. The one of a kind Purse
I love the idea of giving one of a kind/ limited edition pieces, especially if you have someone in your life that likes things that are different to the norm, quirky and gorgeous.
The Haruka Purse is fantastic. The quality is gorgeous, the designs are all different and they make pretty wonderful gifts. Be sure to check out their amazing scarfs too... pure luxury and supporting small brands!
2. Feels like clouds for the Feet Slippers
If im at home i will always always have my slippers on.. always. I love slippers and wear them to death. These pink beauties from Morelands of glastonbury are literally the nicest things that have ever adorned my feet. If you have a lady in your life that loves slippers i highly, highly recommend these. I've been wearing mine non stop since October and i will definitely buy a new pair once i've worn these out (which i will imagine will be some time as they're excellent quality). If you know someone who usually likes a Ugg slipper, try this instead this year, they come in an array of colours and choices of slip on or loafer and they cost less than uggs too!
3. Pjs for a Princess
These royal blue Joules pj's are the softest most beautiful pyjamas, a lovely luxury pj gift is always a good idea in my eyes. Who doesn't love smart pj's? I have another of joules and they're still going strong 4 years later. Great quality and make great gifts.
4. Smells Like Christmas Candle
Have you ever shopped at Amara? They're a life, style and living brand that hold some of the nicest things for gift shopping. Among those things are candles. Is there any one who doesn't like a great smelling candle??? (Seriously is there?) There candle selection is dreamy. I went for the christmas scent and it is festive perfection.
5. Super Stripey Sweater
As soon as i saw this sweater i knew i had to include it. I love it for lots of reasons, personally i can't wait to wear it, the colours are fun and vibrant and the quality is a soft cashmere blend. The other reason i wanted to include it is because i think this jumper would work for so many different ladies; Mums, sisters, Nan's all types of ladies, this jumper would look brilliant!
Laura Ashley makes some fab knits, be sure to check them out if like me, you love a new jumper for Christmas!
6. Ladylike teacup and saucer
To drink tea from a lovely tea cup and saucer is just such a delightful treat, wouldn't you agree? I love to give pretty and practical things that can be used all year long and not just for chritsmas. The Pip studio collection is one of the prettiest sets i've ever seen. And drinking tea out of such a pretty cup surely makes the tea even better.
The other thing is, the sets are such great value for money and exquisite in design, the teacup and saucer here looks super expensive but is only £13.00!
7. Dinky Perfume sets
Sometimes, you may not know what perfume to buy some one, sometimes the person my not have a favourite scent, well these small Ghost sets are perfect as little testers to see if someone would like the perfume. For me, i wear Ghost perfume all year round so these make perfect little purse sized bottles to take on the go with me. Fab little stocking filler gifts at just £8.00!
8. The Prettiest Jewellery (that won't break the bank)
I recently discovered Olia jewellery on Instagram and oh my days, i'm so glad i did. Olia stocks some of the best pieces i've seen in a real long time. Mix rose gold and silver or just stick to one type, the site is a veritable mecca for all those magpies who love shiny shinies(like me).
I have earrings, a necklace and 3 bracelets and i'm eyeing up another necklace already.
9. Pretty Underwear
Ahh who doesn't like to wear some pretty underwear huh? It can definitely make a girl feel good! And these delightful french knickers are 100% silk and sheer luxury. Vibrant and fun, Scrumpies of Mayfair is a new brand that really brings a bit of fun to fancy pants.
Let me know in the comments below as i still have a couple of gifts to get and would love some more ideas!
I was really lucky to be gifted some of these items not necessarily for the gift guide, but everything i've included has been handpicked by me and i love love love them all!!
