Christmas Gift Guide Series #1 - Mum


I cannot believe how quickly 2013 has gone by! It was such a good year for me and I can't wait for 2014. Christmas is quickly closing in on us and I bet most people are in a sweat about getting their friends and families some presents for the big day. I usually end up leaving it all last minute, but this year I amn't going to leave myself running around a few days before Christmas. It's never worth the hassle!

I thought I'd do a gift guide series for you all and hopefully it helps somebody out! The first gift series is for your Mums, Grandmothers, Great Grandmothers, whoever you feel that these gifts suit. I just put together a list of things that my Mum likes and mixed it around to suit the festive theme.

Soap & Glory always put together the best gift sets, their Relax Station Gift Set is perfect for a Christmas gift. It includes a body buffer, shower gel, hand cream, foot cream and body butter - it also includes a shower puff and hair turban. This would be a great treat for the ladies.

I always love receiving pyjamas, slippers and the likes as presents. I think with the colder weather coming in, a nice housecoat or fluffy PJs and some socks would be a lovely gift for anybody! I found a gorgeous Aztec Print Fleece Robe and some Faux Fur Textured Boots. There's so many to choose from on every online site and in every clothing store, if it was up to me I'd be in reindeer socks and a big reindeer onesie! No joke. If your on a low budget these are the perfect gifts because you can pick up great PJs in Primark.

My Mam absolutely loves Yankee candles, they're definitely one of her favourite candle brands. I picked out two Christmas themed choices for the sake of this post. Red Apple Wreath and the Christmas Classics set of three, are all so sweet and Christmassy. They make it feel like it's Christmas day! Yankee candles are quite pricey but they last so long and smell amazing! I'm sure you can get cheaper alternatives as well. Right now they have a 25%-40% off all festive candles and accessories sale on their site, so if you're thinking of getting one, get it now! 

Of course, I had to pick something from Lush for my Mam! She loves bath bombs and I'm pretty sure there's a few in Lush that she hasn't even seen yet. The Christmas ones look incredible! The Melting Snowmen Luxury Bath Melts are just too cute to pass by and the Secret Santa Bath Bomb is unbelievably detailed and the 'Secret Santa' is a little red Santa bath bomb, inside the house! How cool is that?! Lush bath bombs are always amazing and work wonders for your skin. There's plenty to choose from and you will not regret buying them once you've used them. And then you might just get a serious addiction....


There you have it, my 'Gift Guide Series #1'. I really hope this helps anybody who needs a few ideas. Of course there's so many more things you could get for your Mammies! And remember - it's the thought that counts if you can't afford big expensive presents, maybe make your Mam something nice or get her something small - she's your Mam she will appreciate anything you give her.


What are you going to get your Mum for Christmas?

Side note - This is my first post from my new MacBook, I'm so glad I bit the bullet and got it in the end. Everyone who pushed me to get it, thank you! It's definitely going to take a bit of getting use to as it's completely different to a windows laptop, which I have had for most of my life. But, I'll get there in time! Yay!

Loving Cosy Sock Season!

Cosy Socks!


You all must think I've literally gone mad writing a post about socks! But when I came across these socks on the next website, I just couldn't resist sharing them with you. I want them all, but unfortunately my bank account wouldn't like it. 


These bootie style slipper-socks look so comfortable! Lined with fur on the insides and a gorgeous knitted outer design, they nearly look good enough to wear outside, only they'd be ruined.

How could you not want a bunny with glasses on your socks? These are so adorable and there's two pairs, including the ones with polka dots.

Pandas are just the cutest animals. When I seen these I fell in love. Again who wouldn't want either a panda face on their socks or a sock full of pandas? Probably a lot of people, maybe it's just me who's obsessed with animal socks.

More panda socks, bit of a pattern going on here eh? I can't help myself. Fluffy warm panda socks, or fluffy plain grey ones. I'd happily have me some of these.

If you go on to the link, just look at that little face.. How could you say no to that? These socks are ridiculous-ly cute! They look so warm.

I honestly just had to show you these, they have ears! 

Bambi socks, imagine wearing these around your house, they're adorable. To be honest coming up to Christmas, having 'rein'deer socks, that'd be cool.

These don't look like they've much sequins, even on the zoom view. But nevertheless they look so comfy and warm. The bobbles/baubles, (I don't know which one it is, is there a difference?) are an added bonus too. Although I always find they end up falling off. Still pretty though!

Coming up to Christmas, these are a must have for your sock drawer! The patterns are super cute.

I loved the look of these when I seen them, all the different animals on them are adorable. I love the way they match up too.

Anyways, there was way more socks and you should totally check them out on the next website if you're interested. I only picked ten out for this post, but I wanted to pick way more! I hope you enjoyed this post. It's quite a different post for me to do, but I couldn't resist.


Have you any cute fluffy socks this season?
Would any of these socks interest you, or am I crazy?

Love,
