I know it may not feel like Christmas is around the corner for many of us, but the truth is that it is. October ends this week and once Halloween is over. All everyone starts to think about and talk about is Christmas. I have started seriously thinking of what Christmas gifts I would be getting my loved ones. There are a few items on my list already and I will be grabbing them in the next few days so I have plenty of time to wrap and post them without panicking.

I recently came across this fantastic website – Cocorose London. I read their latest blog post on the Perfect Christmas Gifts for Her and I found the post very timely and it gave me loads of gift ideas.

Great Christmas Gift Ideas for Her

If you are wondering what to get for the special women in your life, here are a few Christmas gift ideas you may find inspiring-

Hoxton – White with Red Stars Leather Trainers

I love the look of the leather trainers here. The red stars paired with white is a stylish design. I am very into trainers now. I find myself wearing them a lot these days. They are quick to wear, easy to style, and very comfy. This stylish pair would make a lovely Christmas gift. It looks amazing.

Piccadilly – Quilted Black Ballerinas

I am forever wearing flats! They are super comfortable and easy to wear. I wear them all year long. You can pair flats with warm tights on cold days and you can wear them with a summery dress on warm days. They are so versatile, which is why a woman can never have too many flats. They are great gift ideas for women like me who love their flats. The stunning quilted black flats here would work great as a Christmas gift.

Silk Face Mask with Filter Pocket and Matching Pouch – Blush

It looks like we will be wearing face masks for some time. This pink silk face mask by Cocorose London comes with a filter pocket and matching pouch. It would work great as a stocking filler or a little Christmas gift. I like the pink colour and the fact that it is made from 100% premium quality, high-grade mulberry silk.

Carnaby – Grey Leopard Print Foldable Shoes

Foldable shoes are so handy to have on you especially on days when you have high shoes you may need to take off after some time. I love that brands now design foldable shoes just for this purpose. Back in the day, it used to be me popping my old flats in my handbag for when I need it but now I can just pop a foldable pair in my bag and it fits in nicely. This would make a great gift.

Christmas shopping is still going on for us. I have wrapped all the presents and I am just waiting on a few items to come in this week, and I am all done. The kiddies are so excited. I had to keep chasing them out of the room yesterday while wrapping presents. To be honest, I am really excited as well. I am looking forward to relaxing and enjoying all what the season brings. I am also looking for to the new year – 2020. It is going to be an amazing year all around.

How is your Christmas shopping going? If you are still on the lookout for little gifts to give out this Christmas, here are some fantastic ideas for you. They are all less than £30 and I hope you are inspired. –

Cosy up this winter with a mug of tea, good book, open fire, and these handmade Nepalese wool socks. Sitting somewhere between a sock and a slipper, they’re chunky enough to keep freezing toes warm on even the coldest of winter nights. These traditionally knitted socks have been hand crafted from 100% natural wool in repeating rows of quirky colours. The ankle end is ribbed to create a snuggly but stretchy opening. One size fits all! They’ve been designed to embrace your feet like a hug — a perfect symbol of how these slipper socks help to support traditional Nepalese artisans.

Don’t Go Broke for Christmas

December 16, 2017 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 30 Comments

It is now 9 days to Christmas and everyone is going MAD! The shops are filled up with shoppers that won’t stop shopping. Deliveries are coming on very late and the whole world has gone crazy getting ready for the big day. I am trying not to join in with the craziness of it all. I am done with my Christmas shopping and wrapping. Just waiting on a few deliveries to come in and wrap some last minute gifts, and that is it really.

I am trying to enjoy the countdown to Christmas and not get carried away with the madness. Which brings me to this post. Many of us get carried away with the Christmas cheer and spend a lot more than we planned to, just because Christmas. It is all well and good if you can afford to buy the presents you buy. Christmas is a season of giving and receiving, so good thoughtful gifts are expected. But that doesn’t mean you should rob Peter to pay Paul. Let me explain…

Many of us spend way more than we can afford. We get carried away with the amazing gift ideas around and go way over our planned budget. Then January comes, and we start to panic with the empty bank accounts, maxed credit cards and bills to pay. Does this scenario sound familiar? Here are ways you could ensure you don’t go broke for Christmas.

 

Start buying Christmas Gifts Early

I started buying Christmas gifts in October and that is late. I usually start earlier than that so I have an upper hand. My aim is to target sales and shop around calmly without the Christmas rush. That way I can spread the cost of the Christmas gifts and shop in peace.

 

Have a Budget

This should go without saying but many of us still walk around shopping without a budget. Having a Christmas shopping budget for every person on your list ensures you don’t get carried away with the amazing options out there. And trust me, there are.

 

Buy for those that Matter

I don’t shop for everyone I know and I don’t expect Christmas gifts from everyone either. I only buy gifts for close family members and teachers. If I don’t see you on Christmas Day, there is a high chance I won’t be buying you a Christmas present except we are tight. I don’t think it makes financial sense buying Christmas gifts for every member of my family.

Buy Only What you Can Afford

Many of us result to using credit cards and store cards to shop for Christmas gifts. That was normal for me some years ago but not anymore. I have seen the light and it makes zero sense to buy what you cannot afford. If you must use store cards and credit cards, make sure it is interest-free, and you make repayments before the interest-free period ends.

 

Focus on the Reason for the Season

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, so I like to focus on the reason for the season, with my family and take it all in. As we count down to Christmas, we spend our spare time relaxing with Christmas programmes, singing along to Christmas carols, reading Christmas books and just enjoying the season. My kids are quite contented with staring at the Christmas lights all day if I let them.

 

These are the ways I make sure I don’t go broke for Christmas. Do you do any of these things? Please share your Christmas shopping experience in the comments section below.
