gift guide: stocking fillers for her

I had never featured a gift guide post on my blog before, until now. Now that there are only three more Mondays until Christmas I have decided to put together some gift guides to help if you are struggling to find something to buy for that special someone in your life. Putting small gifts into a big or small stocking has always been my favourite thing to do when prepping for Christmas. Now me and Sean have started doing stockings this year I have been more than excited. Here I have pulled together some perfect stocking fillers or if you are doing a Secret Santa for somebody, this would be the right place for you!

The Body Shop and Lush are great places for cute pampering gifts. Body Shop do some amazing gift sets which I love to buy my friends or family every year. I decided to pick up one of their Jingle Gel Rock sets which contains 60ml bottles of shower gels which can be a real treat for some people. Lush's Christmas range is just devine, one thing I would recommend getting somebody is the Snow Fairy Body Conditioner which smells of candy floss and leaves your skin feeling super soft after a shower.

One of my favourite things to receive in a stocking is beauty related gifts. For a little festive treat the Tanya Burr Cosmetics Lip Glosses are perfect, especially the shades 'Berry Picking' and 'Champagne Toast'. Or if you are looking for a little body mist then Zoella's Sweet Inspirations is the perfect scent and the bottle is pretty.

For stationary lovers, this Kate Spade Sticky Note Set is perfect for someone to keep themselves organised. Also if you need some fantastic pencils, Tiger have these Kate Spade dupes for just £1!

I have put together a list below of more gift ideas too:

lush haul (10)

Whilst I was in Brighton the other day I decided to go into the one shop that excites me, Lush. I saw all the Christmas goodies and I just found myself screaming inside with joy. I did stop myself from picking up a bottle of the Snow Fairy shower gel as I already have 3 bottles from last years trip. But here are my Lush Christmas picks this year...

So White Bath Bomb - "Crisp apple-scented waters, as pure as the driven snow, fizz and foam, while bergamot oil and rose absolute restore peace and calm." Now doesn't that just sound AMAZING. I really cannot wait to use this as a pick me up on a cold Novembers day.

Peeping Santa Bubble Bar - I love the bubble bars from Lush and I just had to pick up this one up again because It gives you so many bubbles and it smells SO good.

Christmas Penguin Bubble Bar - This is a super cute bubble bar but oh so fragile! One of the staff in Lush said that this paried with Shoot For The Stars will make your bath look incredible. Sadly it wasn't in the Brighton store so I may have to go out and pick it up to try them both together.

Never Mind The Ballistics - Oh my this just smells incredible. The lime and sweet wild orange oils are fresh and peachy on the nose, really shakes up your mood. Could you imagine the colours that would come out in your bath? I think this could be Instagram worthy.

Snow Fairy Body Conditioner - I couldn't just walk away from the skin treats. I have already used some of this this morning and it is so simple to use. Slather this over your skin whilst you are in the shower, rinse and then pat dry yourself and allow the oils to sink in. Your skin will smell of candy/sweets that lingers for hours.

Sleepy Body Lotion - Another skin saviour I couldn't leave behind is this twilight scented, lavender cream which contains skin softening oats and coco butter. No lie, if you use this before you go to sleep, it really helps you drift off. There's something truly magical about this stuff...may have to pick up a bigger pot!

What is your favourite from this years range?

another trip to brighton

So for my 23rd birthday, Sean decided to book us a trip away to Brighton again like I did for his birthday this year. I was so happy to be back at my favourite place.

We stayed at The Kings Hotel which was located near the sea front. Our first morning in the hotel we were looking forward to the breakfast. They had various things on the menu but I went for the traditional breakfast as it looked great. I had this on both days also.
For our first night we decided to go to Jamie's Italian which is our favourite restaurant back home. I had my beloved bramble cocktail, if you go to Jamie's for the first time you have to have it. The food was of course amazing as always.

We spent our Saturday wondering the lanes even if the weather was horrible which is was that day. We visited some new shops that we never went to the last time we was there. George Street is my favourite as it has a lot of pop up shops. There we went to Snoopers Paradise and got our photobooth picture taken again. One new shop that I saw was called Pussy where it had a lot of cute homeware items, a lot of Moomin things.

For food and drinks we visited Choccy Woccy Doodah for a delicious hot chocolate. Before we tried to get a table but it does get very busy so I suggest if you were to go, try and go just before Lunch time starts! We got a table and wow the drinks were incredible. I had a salted caramel hot chocolate with caramel chocoalte buttons on the side while Sean had a white chocolate hot chocolate with biscuits on the side.
We visited The Breakfast Club for Lunch and that is also another place that gets busy so was lucky enough to get a table. Me and Sean tried their juices which contained either beetroot, carrot or apples. They were healthy and so good.
On our last day we went to Angel Food Bakery where they do the best cupcakes and cakes in general. I picked up a box of six cupcakes to take home for my family.

birthday wishlist (3)

I can't believe we are in November already, where has this year gone? I have decided to make a birthday wishlist. Obviously I'm not asking or expecting to receive all of these (I can dream though, right?) I am in love with the mermaid blanket, now winter is upon us I need the comfort to keep my toes toasty and warm. Someone needs to take my card away from me or else I will end up ordering one of everything...
