5 Very Last Minute Gifts

Christmas is fast approaching and we all sometimes forget a gift for someone.

Here is 5 gifts that are cute and easy to pick up.

1) Book lamp from amazon.

I've bought this for myself since it gets pretty dark after work and the lamp I have in the living room isn't the brightest.  This is a cute little book that opens into a light, it has different colour settings and is bright enough to enable me to read a book comfortablely.

2) Himalayan salt or crystal tea light holder

They're pretty easy to pick up in shops, however both of mine did come from a Christmas market, if you have one near they'll more than likely have a few. They're perfect for the crystal lover in your life, they look nice anywhere in a room.

3) The Body Shop Japanese face mask

The Japanese Matcha Tea Pollution Clearing Mask is great for anyone who loves a good face mask. As it's in a tub instead of a sheet mask it was last then a while longer and who doesn't want to get rid of the pollution from the day.

4) DrSalts bath salts.

These come in a few different types but I have the sleep therapy one as it's a lovely lavender smell which is relaxing for bedtime. I've used this a few times now and my body does feel a little more relaxed than a normal bath. I picked this up in Tesco but I think Holland and Barrett also sell it.

5) Christmas reads

Both of these are full of short stories set around Christmas time. I'm halfway though both and I'm enjoying them. Not every short story is great but they're enjoyable non the less. Murder at Christmas is a selection of crime stories and The twelve strange days of Christmas is a selection of supernatural stories, they're spooky and fun.

Alternative & Gothic Gift Guide

 

It's almost time for Christmas with only less than 2 weeks to go. Don't know what to buy the spooky lover? As with every year i always ask for something spooky related, i can't help it. It is however easier to shop for these around Halloween, but if you forget then not to worry. You could always buy them something from killstar, I'm always wanting something from them at most of the year, they have a variety of items to gift other than clothes too.

Could always opt to buy them something by sourpuss, i love a lot of their home items but always get around to finding them when they go out of stock.

Any of the items from above i would love to receive, and I'm sure and lot of spooky lovers would to. Heck i already own the moon bag because i couldn't resist it. That bat pin is calling me because it's so darn cute! Anything with a bat on i fall in love with.

And when in doubt some cute dark socks will always do the trick! Along with mugs, who can ever own enough mugs?

Christmas Tv and Music Gift Guide*

 TV and Music Gift Guide

It's that time of year again now that Halloween is over, time to think about what to buy people for Christmas and buying for some people can be tricky as they can be picky. So for me it's easier to buy items for people based around things they like such as TV shows and music. It narrows down what to buy for them and you know they will like it as it's something they enjoy listening to or watching.

With new seasons of every ones favourite shows coming out this year why not buy them something around that. It could be a simple pop funko to items of clothing such as everyone favourite Christmas item, pyjamas! It's cold and who doesn't love getting some new pyjamas to snuggle into? You can change into them the same day you get then, having new PJ's to wear just feels nice. We all know someone who could do with some new ones. Or since Christmas is in during winter why not buy someone a scarf or beanie, they always come in handy for those cold December and January morning. I have a beanie that says "Winter is coming" which is clearly a game of thrones reference.

My picks are based on what i think anyone would like and have some use for. Items that are practical and some that aren't but decoration items are always nice to have.

The Walking Dead:

Everyones favourite Zombie show.

There is always an excuse to buy someone a new cup even if they have way to many already. It's something easy as there is many designs to choose from and everyone will like it. Pop funkos as people like to collect them and they're just look cute!

Game Of Thrones:
Take away the blues of having to wait a year or so for the next season with some game of thrones related items. Found out what their favourite house is a buy them a t-shirt with the house symbol on. Or a boxset of the seasons up to now.

Or is music is more their scene a few new albums have been realised this year. My picks for my loved ones would be;

 Marilyn Manson - Heaven Upside Down 
Marilyn's latest album is fantastic and fans seem to be enjoying it.
If they're a big fan and already own the album you could always buy a t-shirt or hoodie which is related to this album.

Motionless In White - Graveyard Shift
This album came out earlier this year and it's fantastic. The whole album is strong. Again if they already own this album then there is always the option of buying them a t-shirt so they can represent the bands they love.




Winter Warmers;
As i said above it's always great to buy items that can be useful for the winter, not only will they get some use out of the item but you'll get to see them wear it a lot and it will remind them of you. Beanies, gloves and scarfs, are always useful as they can change an outfit and within winter since we wear coats most of the time winter accessories can help with not feeling like you're always in the same things. I know i love owning a few different scarfs so i can change them around to create different looks depending on what I'm wearing.

Safe to say Christmas gifts don't have to be sets of smelly stuff including shower gel etc.

Christmas | Gifts Under £10 [Boots]

Since it's getting very close to Christmas I thought I'd do some Christmas gift posts to get into the Christmas spirit. 
Thought I'd stick to under £10 for this post. All items from boots. 
 They would make some for some nice stocking fillers or secret Santa.
