Good morning everyone and happy Sunday. It’s chilly outside isn’t it? I think I will stay under a heap of blankets on the sofa today. Normally at the end of each month I do a monthly favourites blog but I thought with Christmas coming up, I would share a gift guide. These are products I have personally either used, have or on my wish list. It could be a guide for you to buy for loved ones or if you’re looking for something to pop onto your Christmas list.
First up, for the beauty and skincare lovers I have put together this selection of products. I will link everything at the end (some aff links)
This nail lamp is one I purchased recently and I really like it. It’s got a 2 minute timer option and does the job perfectly. A friend recommended this easy build up gel from Kiki London Nails and it is so good. I have it in the shade ‘Snow Glaze’ but there are lots of different shades to choose from.
A few makeup bits include this lipstick from Maybelline in shade 05 ‘Loyalist’ and this dewy finish fixing spray from NYX. If you or your loved ones love a nude lip and a juicy looking face, these are the one!
Skincare. I have been using all three of these products for a long time now and I can’t recommend them enough. The ginzing moisturising cream from Origins is so lovely and smells divine. The daily microfiliant from Dermalogica (pr) is a must for first thing in the morning and the ESPA body oil…heavenly.
Finally, for those heat loving hair users this protection mist from Lee Stafford is a great little stocking filler. It also smells delicious.
Let’s start with H&M. The cream shacket and cream jumper are just such great staples for any wardrobe this winter. They work well layered over dresses and with jeans and boots.
Talking of boots, these gorgeous leather chunky boots from NA-KD Fashion are perfect for this time of year. I love the zip on the inside too. So gorgeous.
Warehouse have some really beautiful bits in their sale at the moment so now might be time to grab a bargain. This green dress and the black skinny cords are a couple of favourites I spotted and again, they are great pieces for layering.
This dress from L.K. Bennett is just the dream. How stunning are the sleeves? I know I would be over the moon if I opened one of my Christmas presents and this was inside 💖
Last up is this really simple straight fit striped tee from M&S. Their basics are so good and this is such a classic piece for any wardrobe.
Bits for the home at Christmas are always such lovely gifts to open or buy for somebody you love. I mean, who wouldn’t want this gorgeous faux fur throw from John Lewis? We have this in our living room and it is super cosy and looks fab draped over a sofa.
Candles are also a fab present and this one from Iggybox is that perfect winter scent (pr). You can use my code REBE20 on their website on any full price items if you fancy purchasing something for a loved one this Christmas.
It was difficult to pick just one thing from H&M to include as I love it all but I thought this lantern was gorgeous. With a big candle inside, it would make such a statement.
These little vases from Cox & Cox are so modern and perfect for those who love a more Scandinavian interior style – such a cute stocking filler.
Finally, these initial mugs from Anthropologie are beautiful. I have popped one on my Christmas list!
And that’s a wrap guys. There won’t be a December’s blog post for monthly favourites but perhaps a ‘What I Got for Christmas’ blog post if that is of interest to anybody? Let me know in the comments below. I will also leave all the links for everything mentioned in the blog just below. Have a good Sunday.
