Last minute gifts for hosts

Picture it, you’ve got all of your Christmas shopping done, it’s all wrapped and you’re feeling glorious about it all, you’re sitting on the sofa planning which outfit will look nice for Christmas Day as well as have enough room for the amount of food you’re planning on eating. When suddenly you realise you haven’t got your host a small gift to say thank you…

Okay, now story time is over let’s get onto the quick ideas to get you off the hook so you can get back to that sofa.

First up, people always love flowers, in Tesco this year they have some gorgeous Christmas bouquets, some even with a nutcracker on a stick decoration, very cute.

Next you can always find gift sets in shops at all times of the year, from wine and a glass, to miniature bottles of whisky, have a quick scout around the end of the drinks aisle and you’ll find some!

And whether you find them tacky or cute, singing Christmas toys are a must in any household! (And you can never have too many…)

I hope that gives you some inspiration for quick gifts! Let me know what you like to take!

Favourite Blogmas bloggers of 2017

Not only have I been doing blogmas for this month, I’ve been reading some blogmas posts from bloggers too. In a way it’s been a way of inspiration for me to carry on and get through blogmas.

So with just four days left to go, I thought it would be the perfect time to share with you a list of people’s blogs I’ve been loving.

First up we have Loula Belle Rose, I love reading Lauren’s blog in the evenings with a cuppa, it’s definitely worth catching up on some posts from the month!

Next is Cheryl Wong, Cheryl and I started following each other on Twitter at the end of November, so I checked out her blog in December and have loved reading some updates, from beauty to travel and everything in-between she’s worth a follow!

Abby Clare, is next. I found her blog by using the Twitter to search for #blogmas, we share some of the same loves, from yankee candles to books. When reading her blogs it’s like I’m talking to a friend, go check her out!

Next is Rand0mg4l (also known as Hannah) she’s done intermittent blogmas posts and I think she’s done what she wants and done it well, we’ve had some very similar posts go up which I didn’t realise as I discovered her a few days ago when writing for this post, but you should have a wonder over to her blog.

Lastly is Lifestyle, Beauty and Fashion blogger It’s Bethan’s Blog, I like her blogs as she’s honest and won’t just tell you what she thinks you should hear.

The best Christmas jumpers of 2017

I have two Christmas jumpers, one very cute one with a penguin on it and one that is of a Star Wars scene that my boyfriend bought for himself without realising the pattern was made out of tiny little hearts…

But you can never have too many jumpers right? Here are seven of my favourite ones from this year;

Primark men – it’s cute and can totally be styled out to be an oversized women’s one if you wanted!

Christmas Nail Art

Christmas nail art is a fun thing to do throughout December, whether you go full Christmas Santas and all or if you stay to festive sparkle, there are plenty of ways to get your nails ready for the festive season.

I like to use a mixture of Barry M and Ciaté London nail varnishes but realistically if you invest in a good base coat and top coat then you can use any nail varnish you want (no matter what the price is).

There are so many types of designs you can go for, including cheating and going for fake nails and nail wraps.

Here are my favourite 5 nail designs from Pinterest that I will be using on myself and my family this Christmas.

A Very Pinterest-ing Christmas

Pinterest is a great tool for any occasion, I use it to plan, for inspiration and just to escape from classic social media sometimes.

It’s an app that you can be sucked into and realise that the 2 mins you were going to be on it turned into a 2 hour endless scroll through pretty pictures…
