Blogmas #2 / Girls Gift Guide

1. Socks (£5) - Let's be honest, it wouldn't be Christmas without receiving socks or underwear. Am I right? And who could resist them when they are presented in a very festive bauble? It would be a small, cute gift to give to a friend, co-worker, or along side another gift. 

2. The Fault In Our Stars (£10)- There are many DVDs out at this time of year that you can change up to suit the girl you are buying for: 22 Jump Street, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Frozen and there is always an offer on the Disney films which is a bonus! (Don't forget those essential Christmas films either)

3. Clutch (£12) - When I saw this scallop clutch, I think I fell in love, and for £12 its a steal. I would possibly buy this for one of my girlies and put a few smaller surprises in the clutch too. 

4. Clarins Lip Collection Gift Set (£19.50) - As soon as October you can find Christmas gift sets hitting the shelves, and it is the most exiting thing to see when you walk Boots and you can have a peruse around decking which ones to get. This set from Clarins is one of my favourites this year. It includes miniatures of a lipstick, two of their lip perfecters and a lipgloss. As a lip product fan, I would be thrilled to receive this. It is something that would be suitable for a range of ages too. Other gift sets I have seen that deserve a worthy mention are: The Fearne Collection from Boots, This Works from TK Maxx, Prada Candy from Selfridges and Liz Earle Christmas Skincare from John Lewis.   

5. Bathroom Guest Book (£12) - Everyone needs a jokey present, something that they didn't know they needed or wanted. This Bathroom guest book is just that perfect type of present. What would you do with it? I'm not sure, other than proudly display it in your bathroom for people to enjoy while they are on the toilet. 

6. Ryan Gosling Calendar (£9) - I couldn't go a post without mentioning Ryan Gosling, sorry. If your friend, like the rest of the world, is in love with Ryan and are terribly upset that he is someone else baby daddy then this is the perfect present. Your friend can just stare at his beautiful face all year round. She will love you, I promise (of course other men are available).

7. Ciate gifts (£15-30) - When I was Christmas shopping last week I stumbled into TK Maxx and found a wall full of Ciate sets. They were selling previous years advent calendars and Ciate nail polish baubles that were all super cute! Even though they are last years products, they are half the price that they would usually be. SCORE.

8. Taylor Swift's 1989 (around £11) - If they haven't already got this incredible album from Taylor Swift then you can bring a bit of fun and pop into their life. It is the perfect album to dance around your room to or sing as loud as you can in your car. If they want something a bit different you can always go for a bit of Sam Smith, AC/DC or if maybe even Take That if they are into it?!

I hope you are ready to put your helmet on and raid the shops! Its every man for himself out there at this time of year. Haha. I hope this helped you out with some gift ideas for the wonderful women in your lives. Of course I forgot to add in books and gadgets gifts, but hey, head down to the shops and check out whats around. And if me, you love to give a sentimental gift, do it. It is much more memorable and a lot more thoughtful.
