Gifts for the Girly One

Gifts for the Girl One


For those with the ever popular iphone a Phone Case is an easily attainable and cheap stocking stuffer or secret santa gift. I brought one for a friend the other day on ebay for only 98p which was a wine glass with liquid that moves, very cool! Jewelry suits a recipient of any age and any budget, H&M do really pretty jewelry for great value, or you could got to a fancy jewellers if you're looking for something a little more upmarket. Perfume is always a safe bet for anyone really, though it can be quite hard if you don't know what scents they like or wear. If you know what perfumes they do wear, staff in places like The Perfume Shop can help you pick out a similar one. Keep ing to the theme of smells, Yankee Candles are a great gift idea, some safe scents that everyone would like are ones like strawberry buttercream, christmas cookies or vanilla buttercream, though my favourite is black cherry. A cute Wintery Bobble Hat  is the perfect gift for the current weather and they're great for hiding a bad hair day too. Another great gift for helping a girl survive the British weather is a sturdy but also pretty patterned Umbrella like this Parisian themed one (I may very much want this one myself). Another item that suits the weather is TV Box Sets because who doesn't love curling up to watch their favourite show when it's raining outside? A little pamper night gift with a nice box of Chocolates, a Lipbalm and Hot Chocolate Set would be another great universal gift, perfect for a secret santa gift, friend, sister or colleague. If you don't fancy putting your own gift set together, you can get them ready made at Lush. If you're looking for a more expensive gift for a loved one, High End Makeup from brands such as Chanel, YSL, MAC or Charlotte Tilbury would be appreciated by most girls who wear makeup and like pretty things. Which means most girls I know really!

Two more gift guides left now, aimed more at the parents, so I hope you found this one inspiring...

De-Stress Gift Idea



It was my friend's birthday at the beginning of November and since she is so stressed all of the time, I thought I'd theme her present around relaxation to help her de-stress.  It started when I saw 'The Mindfulness Colouring Book' on offer at amazon as they have a brilliant 3 for £10 offer on paperbacks and I was already buying two  books for myself at the time. To go with that I also got her a nice pack of pencils so she'd have something to colour in with and a journal for her to write in when she couldn't sleep from the Book Depository (Great site for books with free UK delivery). To help her unwind I bought her some Radox Bubble Bath in Feel Relaxed which is on offer at Boots for £1 and an S candle for her name from Asda. Then finally to finish it off my mom had brought  her a massive tub of flying saucers as they are her fave so I drew a little 'Chill Pills' label to stick on to fit the theme.
I really love putting together themed gift baskets for my friends and sharing them on here, I have at least another 2 planned before Christmas. They obviously also make great Christmas gift ideas too!
