BLOGMAS Day 3- Stocking Filler Ideas For Her

Its that time of year again when all the shops are filled with confused, stressed men who have come out of hibernation to do a spot of christmas shopping for their missus. Dont get me wrong there might be a small minority of men who are organised and have all presents bought, wrapped and under the tree already but i highly doubt that, yes im being a little stereotypical there. So to help some of those hopeless guys ive decided to put together a few stocking filler gift ideas for you to buy those ladies in your life, whether it be your girlfriend, your mum, your sister or your old next door neighbour Betty. Just to make things clear i have got all photos off the websites in which sell the products as i obviously havent gone out and bought all of these things, but however they are things that i would love to receive myself!

1) Wishstrings £2.99

I received one of these on christmas two years ago off my sister as i love and believe in things like this. Basically its just a little string with a bead or a pendant on that you wear on your wrist. On the card it reads "tie on the bracelet and with every little knot you tie make a little wish, then when the thread wears thin and breaks away the wishes will come true so they say!" You can get lots of different designs and colours, i had a red string with a little silver star. I wore mine constantly and it finally broke after a year, i would say that my wish came true in away... 

visit the website and take a look http://www.wishstringsco.co.uk/

2) One Line A Day Diary £11.99

One Line A Day Diary is basically what it says in the name. Its a five year diary which only gives you enough space to write one line for each day, it basically forces you to condense your days events down to make them as memorable as possible. The great thing about it is that you can easily go back and read what you was upto on a certain date. So if the  lady your buying for loves documenting her life like me then this is the perfect stocking filler. I found this on Waterstones wesite but it is also available on other sites like Amazon.

3) Lee Stafford Chopstick Styler £19.99

Im not sure how long this curling wand has been out for but it seems to be very popular this Christmas! This little contraption helps you create the perfect corkscrew curl which has come back into fashion. What girl doesnt love a new hair styling contraption to add to her collection eh? I found this on the superdrug website but it is also available at argos and amazon.

4) Earings £6.00

Every girl loves jewellery but when it comes to picking the right style/design it becomes tricky, thats why these Silver Tone Sparkly Gem Studs are the right ones to buy. Theyre plain (hence why theyre safe to buy because youre not choosing something outrageous looking), fashionable and down right girly! These are from River Island but im sure other high street shops will have similar styles in if you cant get your hands on these.

5) Gift Hamper 

This is an idea i was thinking about doing for my mum. Buy a little gift hamper basket, fill it with shredded coloured tissue and pack it with lots of goodies. For example my mum loves her moisturisers, bath smellies and scented candles so i was thinking of buying a variety of all of them and placing them neatly in the basket, finishing by wrapping it with a clear cellophane wrap and securing it with ribbon. I found most of the stuff on this page from Hobby Craft all of the items ranging from £2.00 to £7.00.

This is how i imagine the finished present.

So there you have it those are a few of my ideas of stocking fillers for her. I hope this has helped at least one person because then my work as fairy god mother is done. Bye for now!

BLOGMAS Day 2- My Christmas Playlist

Its now the 2nd of December and if you haven't blasted those festive tunes out yet then you really need some Christmas spirit thrown your way! As soon as i woke up yesterday morning i put the xmas tunes on and had a little boogie with my dog whilst making breakfast, its too hard to resist since every music channel is now playing Christmas goldies. Ive spent my morning making and listening to a Christmas playlist on Youtube, because I'm too tight to buy the songs off Itunes... Jokes, i have them all on CD but just cant be bothered to load them all onto my laptop and then onto my phone and Ipad, its much faster to use good ol' Youtube. So i bring to you my all time favourite Christmas songs yay!

I will be adding more songs to my playlist but i wanted to show you my top favourites. As you can see Half The world Away by Aurora is on the top there, since the new John Lewis advert came out i have totally fell in love with this song, i had no idea it was originally sung by Oasis though. So if you haven't already get those tunes on, you can play them while your cooking dinner, in the car, on the bus to college/work, exercising or walking your dog round the park, theres no excuse. ( Oh by the way if you're wondering why I've put the image of my playlist huge its because when i uploaded it any other size the writing was blurred, anyway i guess you get the full effect of my ipad now haha) 

Cant believe Blogmas day 2 is over already, oh well at least Christmas day is getting closer eeeek! See you tomorrow.

BLOGMAS Day 1- The Countdown Begins & November Favourites

HAPPY 1ST OF DECEMBER GUYS! The countdown to Christmas has officially begun and boy am i so excited to begin the holiday traditions. It literally is "the most wonderful time of the year", your geeses are laying and your lords are leaping. Only 24 days to go and so much to do, the decorations need putting up, presents need buying, so much present wrapping, family visits to make and well theres always time to get some baking in there too. So today as i woke up i followed my first tradition... opening my advent calendar, oh how ive missed you. Me and my dog Missy opened our advent calendars together and enjoyed a very tasty treat (Yes we have bought my dog an advent calendar because were such great owners!)...(and shes very greedy!). Ive got a thorntons one which is my favourite, because who doesnt love thorntons chocolate? im very excited because it counts all the way to the 25th AND on christmas day i get an extra big chocolate, wooh. Would you believe me if i told you i was 19?... dont answer that.

Okay so theres a few photos from this morning of my calendar and Missy receiving hers, she loved it bless her! Anyway now onto, drum roll please.......... NOVEMBER FAVOURITES!

My first favourite is these Olaf slipper socks. When in Blackpool last week we did some shopping and i found these little beauties in Primark. I totally fell in love with them as theyre so cute and comfortable AND they match my pjs which are in my October favourites. I think they were only £4 which is an added bonus. Who cant resist Disney character clothing? 

My mum has been buying a lot of these scented diffuser thingys lately as we had a very bad, and dangerous, incident with a candle not long ago so we no longer allow them in our house. Anyway she has about three of these in the house at the minute but this one is my favourite as its a christmas one! It smells gorgeous, its like the traditional cinamonny, orangey scent, its like christmas in a bottle. I think its from the Avon catalogue as well, thats where my mum spends most of her money around christmas time as i must admit they do bring out some good things. 

The temperature has rapidly dropped here in England and so ive had the chance to finally start wearing my new coat. Its the black faux fur trim parka jacket from River Island. It did cost me £115 but it was totally worth it as it is sooooooo warm. Its literally like being wrapped in a furry blanket all the time. The fur trim is optional, you can remove it as its only held on by a few buttons, but i would definitely recommend you keep it on as i think the faux fur trim makes the look of the coat. The only annoying thing about this coat is the buckles on the arms, the left one on mine keeps coming undone and its a pain to keep fastening it every two minutes, if you dont fasten it it just kind of dangles, constantly hitting your arm and jingles when you move, but other than that i love love LOVE this coat. (Oh by the way i have taken these photos off the actual River Island website as i just couldnt get a good one of me wearing it, apologies)

This is a bit random and many of you might not understand as to why ive added this in my favourites but today i have been out and bought a cute little rug for my room. Its a little pink round one and ive placed it infront of my chair and footpuff. Just for records im not like a little old lady with an arm chair in her room, i was offered it off a family member, its reclining and massages you so how could i turn it down? plus its where i sit and work magic for my blog. Anyway ive been revamping my room and trying to make it look and feel more cosy so when i saw this in B&Q i had to have it. Was only £9 what a bargain!

eleah

So theres my November favourites and day 1 of blogmas, i hope you enjoyed it as much as i did. Cant wait to see what this month brings and i especially cant wait to be posting on my blog everyday! Seeyou tomorrow for day 2, ho ho ho.
