HUGE Ladies Christmas Gift Guide

If you hadn't already noticed, my blog has been all about the Christmas gift guides recently. I'm completely obsessed with browsing my favourite websites and finding some lovely gifts to share with you all so today I'm here with the final of my gift guides and I've saved the best one till last. I've been collecting all the products featured in this post for the past couple of months now and I'm SO excited to share all these goodies with you as there's some total gems and products in there that every lady would love this Christmas. Whether they're a hair fanatic, beauty junkie or gym bunny - this gift guide has got you covered. 

Before I get into it, I just want to put a little disclaimer out there and say although I did buy or already own some of the products included, I was also sent a lot of them / gifted them at events for review consideration and for that I'm very thankful as I wouldn't have been able to put this post together without the help of all the amazing brands who have contributed. However, what I do want to say is that I've been collecting all of this stuff for a good while now in order to put a great gift guide together. I wouldn't feature something I wouldn't personally love to receive so you can take my word that these are all gorgeous gifts. With this being said, lets get into it! I've popped links to the products featured below each of the images so you can click on those and shop the post! I hope you enjoy and it gives you some last minute shopping inspiration ...

Christmas Gift Guide | Non-Beauty Gifts

As much as I love beauty products and always have a never ending list of products I want to try, sometimes its nice to get different gifts for Christmas and something that you wouldn't buy for yourself. Whether that's the latest hair tool, some headphones or a new handbag, gifts like this are always exciting to receive at Christmas time. The selection above are all things I'd be over the moon to receive as gifts (that Michael Kors bag though) as they're things I wouldn't necessarily go out and buy myself. 

I'm just a bit obsessed with those Mango boots - drool worthy or what? I'm also a sucker for Pandora jewellery and the Frends headphones and Olivia Burton watch are just too pretty for words. The ghd Curve has been on my wish list since the day it was released too so I'll definitely be treating myself to that with my Christmas money! 

Harrods 2015 Diary, Starbucks Cocoa Hot Chocolate Duo, Kate Spade Set of Three Sticky Note Pads, Frends Layla Headphones, Nutribullet, Pandora Leaves Ring, Olivia Burton Watch, GHD Curve Soft Curl Tong, Monki Lucy Lace Bra, Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Perfume, Kate Spade 'Seriously Darling' Iphone 5 Case, Disney Frozen DVD, River Island Tartan Blanket Scarf, Michael Kors Grey Selma Handbag, M&S Spotted Mug & Mango Ankle Boots

Which is your fave?

Christmas Gift Guide | Pamper / Relaxation Gifts

One this I love to do over the Christmas period is have a good old pamper. Its that one time of year I can completely relax and whilst the weather is miserable outside, there's nothing nicer than running a hot bath, lighting some candles, slathering myself with lotions and potions and getting into my favourite pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers. I just love it! With this being said, I thought I'd put together a gift guide of my favourite relaxation and pamper gifts - all of which I'd be thrilled to receive on Christmas day. I think all of these gifts would be perfect for any ladies in your life whether its your mum, nanna, sister, girlfriend or daughter! Lets face it, who doesn't like to feel relaxed and pampered, not only at Christmas but all year round! With that being said, enjoy having a browse through the links below ...

Christmas Gift Guide | Beauty Stocking Fillers

Happy 1st December everyone! Today is one of my favourite days of the whole year - I get to open the first door on my advent calendar and put up my Christmas decorations. Its today that I really begin to feel Christmassy and I now can't wait to bring some festivity to my blog, kick starting with one of my many gift guides. Its a bit of a tradition for bloggers to put these posts together at this time of year but I can completely understand why - putting these inspiration collages together is so much fun! Even if I do now want everything I've included in them - oops!

I thought I'd kick off my series of gift guides with beauty stocking fillers. After all, I am a total beauty junkie and opening my stocking on Christmas day still totally excites me, even if I am 24 and no longer a child! However, as well as stockings, these cute and affordable gifts would also make great presents for a friend, your sister or even a secret santa at work. As I said, they're all really affordable so no matter what your budget, one of these cute beauty gifts should have you covered. I've popped links to everything below ...

Soap & Glory All the Right Smoothes, Sleek Precious Metals Highlighter Palette, Real Techniques Setting Brush, The Original Tangle Teezer, Batiste Blush Dry Shampoo, Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Crayons, Eylure Bedazzle Eyelashes, Soap & Glory Santa Gloss Gift, Topshop Lips in Beguiled Pyramid, H&M Eyelash Curlers, Lush Bath Bombs, Balmi Lip Balm Raspberry, Ted Baker Sweet On You Body Spray Duo, Liz Earle Christmas Star Treat with Signature Lip Colour, Philosophy Peppermint Stick Christmas Bodycare Gift Set, St Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse, This Works Mircacle Cracker, Topshop Mini Matte Nail Polish Trio, H&M Pink Tweezers, Elegant Touch Polished Nails, Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick, You Look Lovely Today Makeup Bag & Maybelline Baby Lips.

I hope you've spotted a few bits and bobs you like! Its safe to say I'd be a very happy girl if I found any of those things in my stocking on Christmas morning.

Christmas Gift Guide | Beauty Edition

  

Hi Ladies! So I thought it was about time I got my butt into gear and did a Christmas Gift Guide for you all. Christmas is fast approaching and with so many lovely gifts in the shops and online, I just had to share my top beauty picks. All of the above are gift sets I would love to receive myself or things I would buy for a special lady in my life. They are all beauty related gifts but if you'd like me to do a 'none-beauty' gift guide or even one for men, do let me know.

1.Urban Decay Smoked 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil Set

My lovely mum has bought me this set of Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners for Christmas and I can't wait to try them. When mum asked me to choose a few presents, this was one of the things I chose after reading so many great reviews on these eyeliners. It's also something I wouldn't normally buy myself and I always prefer getting gifts I wouldn't go out and splurge on myself. I also can't wait to experiment with some new eye looks over the party season.

2.Moroccanoil White Travel Kit with Hydrating Mask

I actually wanted this gift set and tried ordering it as a gift from my Nanna and Grandad for Christmas but it was sold out absolutely everywhere so I couldn't get my mitts on it. I ended up opting for the original bottle of Moroccan Oil in the end which is just as lovely but the reason I wanted to try this set is because it includes minis of the whole Moroccan Oil range which is perfect for those of us who want to try things before we commit to buying the full size. 

3.Origins Morning to Night Gift Set

I'm absolutely loving all things Origins at the moment and I know I have a few of their products coming my way this Christmas. The 'Morning to Night' set features some of their most popular products including VitaZing Moisturiser and the Drink Up Intensive Mask. This would be the perfect gift for anyone into skincare.

4.Benefit 'She's So Jetset' Kit

As Benefit is a fairly expensive brand I think these kits are amazing value for money. This particular one costs £29.50 and includes a couple of Benefits most popular products such as POREfessional and They're Real mascara. They are also great for travelling with. 

5.MAC Guilty Passions: 4 Lavish Rose Lipgloss

I've had my eye on this particular MAC set since their 2012 Holiday collection was released. The only reason I haven't bought it is because I don't have enough money but I would absolutely love to receive it as a gift. It comes with four mini lip glosses, all of which are gorgeous pink and purple shades perfect for this time of year. I particularly love the two deep purple shades as berry lips are right on trend at the moment. Just to top it all off, they come encased in the most beautiful and girly pink box. I don't know many girls who wouldn't love to unwrap this on Christmas morning.

6.Clinique Whole Lotta Colour Chubby Stick Gift Set

Clinique have created a cute gift set of five of their infamous 'chubby sticks'. The blogging world went mad over these recently so I can't think of a more perfect gift for a beauty lover. I know my mum loves these too so they are appropriate for a range of ages.

7.OPI Get Bonded By OPI 3 Piece Collection

I love this limited edition set of OPI nail polishes to mark the release of 'Skyfall', the much raved about James Bond movie. The set contains red and gold shades that are perfect Christmas nail colours, all of which are full size, making it a bargain at £19.00.

Have you bought anyone any of these gifts for Christmas? What are your favourite gifts to receive?

Lots of Love,
