Christmas Gift Ideas

Christmas is getting closer! This year I have found myself slightly less organised than I usually am when it comes to organising presents for my family and friends, probably due to the fact that I am now working full time as opposed to last year when I was still a student and had more free time to plan presents! I think I am pretty much sorted now but if you aren't ready don't panic! There is still time!

I have compiled a few categories of different gifts you could go for, hopefully this will help you come up with a great gift. Whilst these gift ideas are typically more suited to girls the headings can be applied to males too. :)

1. A Themed Gift

My best friend absolutely loves penguins so this year I decided to buy her a few gifts with the theme of penguins! Haha.

Penguin Cushion - £5 Asda
Chocolate Penguin containing Smarties- 50p Tescos
Cuddly Penguin- £9.50 Mayther

Penguin Statue (It lights up different colours) - £3.50 Marks and Spencer

2. A Beauty Gift

I feel a gift most girls would love is this cute glittery nail varnish from Barry M.

Now I am not a massive fan of glitter but this glittery nail varnish just caught my eye. I feel it is beautiful, festive and would be a great little Christmas gift. The nail varnish itself is red and silver with a few tiny silver stars in there too! I also love the packaging with the shiny red lid.

This is from the Barry M Christmas 2014 Limited Edition Collection, it is in the shade Moonlight and was only £3.99 from Boots.

I just think this is such a cute little gift. I had to get one for myself too. *Wanting one yourself is always the sign of a good present ;)* I must say I am very excited to try this :)

3. A Bath/Shower Gift.

- A classic gift at Christmas -

I personally think that you can’t go wrong with a bit of Soap and Glory, the products just smell so lovely! At Christmas they usually do such great variety boxes and this year is no different!

My favourite this year is the gift set named "Soap For The Best", which is £10 from Boots.

The set includes:

- The Righteous Body Butter 50ml

- Clean On Me Shower Gel 75ml

- Hand Food Hand Cream 50ml

- The Scrub of Your Life Body Scrub 50ml

- A Body Polisher

This set would be the perfect set for someone who has yet to try Soap and Glory or even for someone that already loves the brand and scent as these are some of their most popular products!

4. An Edible Gift-

If in doubt... buy them chocolate.

Carton of Dairy Milk Chocolates- £2 WHSmith

Santa - £2 WHSmith

Milk Chocolate Buttons- You can get these in most supermarkets but I picked these up in Boots for £1

Who doesn't love a bit of chocolate around Christmas? :)

5. A Cosy Gift

Be this a comfy jumper, a cosy throw or my personal favourites fluffy socks… this gift is something you can rely on. Who doesn’t like to be in their comfies around Christmas?

Red Throw - The Range £15 (This is so soft! Although they don't seem to have this one in stock anymore)

I bought these fluffy socks last year in Asda and I believe they cost £3.50 and were in a pack of two, they have some similar ones in there this year so have a little look.

If you are interested the duvet was actually given to me last year by my best friend but I know it was from Asda. I absolutely love this cover! Although I haven't seen the same one this year, there are some great Christmassy duvets out there this year, I saw a great one in Matalan for example, and you can always try Primark. :)

So there are a few ideas, I hope you liked them.

Merry Christmas :)
