Christmas is my favourite time of year, I love giving and I especially like receiving. I love how Christmas just brings everyone together, almost everyone has time off work and you get a great family spirit that I just adore.
I love talking about Christmas to see what different people love about it and what gifts they are asking Santa nicely for!
I know from talking to some of you, that you are so good and don’t really want anything, just looking forward to some time off work to spend with loved ones- I admire that, and while that is one of my favourite things about Christmas, I do love the presents. I also absolutely love buying gifts for my family, I get so excited that I usually can’t wait until Christmas to tell them what I got them- yes, I am one of those people. My partner already knows that he is getting an Apple iWatch and that’s the only present I have bought so far!!!
Ed use to be so good at keeping things a secret but I think I’m starting to rub off on him as I generally know what I am getting before I get it- this is also because I like people to clearly know what I want. Ed doesn’t like this about me, but wouldn’t you rather if someone was going to spend money on you, that it be on something you want?? That’s how I see it anyway; no one wants that lairy Christmas jumper that you have to make a special ‘gift face’ for, you know, the one that says “wow! How did you know, I love it!”
So, I absolutely have been planning my Christmas shopping list, I know what I am buying everyone now… I think! When I go shopping I can get distracted and may come back with something completely different than planned! I can’t tell you what I have planned as some of my family read this; however, I am going to make a gift guide blog because I have found some great buys!
I have also just found out that for Christmas, my boyfriend is taking me to Paris for the weekend- how lucky am I?! So we will be hitting the Christmas markets there as we are going before Christmas.
My wish list has been etched in my memory for a good few months now, I just couldn’t tell anyone that because it would probably not be classed as normal behaviour! Now I think, is a suitable time to share my wish list with you and perhaps give you some inspiration and for my Santa’s that read my blogs, here are some hints *wink face*:
- Victoria Beckham handbag- this has already been checked off now and my parents helped me as part of my Christmas present, but as I contributed, I get to use it now, cunning I know!
- Make-up brush case- I’m starting to get a big collection of brushes and I have so many places they live, it would be nice if I could home them all together and I have seen this lovely one from The White Company – currently with 15% off
- Olympus PEN Camera- I don’t expect anyone to buy this for me, but any money I receive I will put towards this… It’s for the good of the blog!
- This cosy New Look jumper- it seemed to be sold out everywhere, but now it's back!!!
- Dune leather mock croc boots- every girl needs a pair of boots like this in their wardrobe
Love Life,
