1. Circle my favourite picks in the Christmas Radio Times magazine.

19. Spend all of Boxing Day watching Christmas movies and eating the leftover turkey sandwiches.
20. Stick on the Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special because it is the best.
December is finally here, time to get out the fairy lights and Christmas tree. Wrap up those presents for loved ones and add them underneath the tree. This time of year is just my absolute favourite as I love gift giving and decorating the house. Here is my to do list for the month...
1. Have a few festive baths using some of my Lush favourites like Magic Wand and Shoot For The Stars.
2. Snuggle up in the evenings with some delicious snacks. I love to have some Terry's Chocolate Orange along with a hot cappuccino with sprinkles of chocolate and a splash of peppermint syrup. Pop on a Christmas film and pull out the soft blanket.
3. Pick up the Christmas Radio Times magazine and circle all the things I don't want to miss - does anybody else do this?
4. Get out my party wear for the festive outings for drinks and food. I recently bought this jumpsuit from Monki. It's silver metallic and it has a pretty back. Can't wait to style this with some colourful heels, maybe red.
5. Paint both my toe nails and finger nails with a sparkle red.
6. Help out the animal shelters and food banks. If you have a little time between now and Christmas, head down to a food bank or an animal shelter and give something this year to them.
7. Buy myself some Wintery pjs. I have my eye on these ones from ASOS.
8. Put the ASDA Christmas duvet on the bed along with the cotton fitted sheet from Primark to get all warm in the nights ahead.
9. Meet up with my friends to give out our secret santa presents.
10. Defrost the Micheal Buble Christmas Album and play it on a loop.
What are your plans for this month?
Time for a gift guide for the ladies. I've added a few dreamy bits in that I love and that I think every girl would enjoy.
Starting with some beauty things, I love the Urban Decay 'Naked 2' Basics Palette as it is travel friendly and the shades are so pretty. This would be a great gift for someone you know who travels around a lot and wants to carry a gorgeous palette with them. I thought I would add a set from Glossier and it is their Cloud Paint Blush Set which would make a great gift to any beauty lover. All the colours are heavenly! (you can get 10% off your first order here.) I had to add a Christmas special from Lush and I decided to pick The Magic Wand. It is a deliciously scented bubble bar that gives you many bubbles that you can sink into and makes your skin soft too!
Homesense is my favourite place for the homey bits and bobs. I recently came across this dreamy mug in one of the stores and it was only £3, was a bargain! They did have other colours and matching bowls but all I wanted was the mug. I will try and find one similar somewhere else and link it below.
I love this Leaf Photo Holder from Oliver Bonas. I like to add a polaroid photo on the top and add it to my bedside table.
For the readers out there, I had to add The Life - Changing Magic Of Not Giving A F**k. It's one of those books that every women needs to have on their bookshelf to read.
Lastly, a fragrance that I have been obsessed with ever since I received it and it is 'Dream' by Ghost Fragrance. It is a beautiful fragrance and the bottle is just so dreamy. I did write a full review on this if you aren't so sure just yet. You can read that here.
Some of my top picks are below :
