Christmas has crept up with no chance of compiling Christmas lists for our loved ones as it has been a mucky few months in terms of childcare (although things are now looking up – phew) so here is my December Edit with a few bits that I would have included had I done them!
A Mini Filled Christmas Stocking For Your Child’s Teddy or Doll £10
This is such a cute idea and all for a good cause too. Buy a stocking for your little one in either pink or green and leave it for their favourite teddy when they wake on Christmas morning. £2 goes to Refuge Crisis Appeal. Email Carina ministockings@gmail.com for more information.
Moonstruck £D Fiber Lashes Mascrara £23 Yoonique
Being a staunch mascara wearer, I was over excited to try this 3D mascara that would give you a false eye lash effect without the effort of ‘real’ false eyelashes. Eek. I am in love. I slightly look like I have a daddy long legs stuck to my eyes as it works SO well. (I think this is a good thing!) Special wipes are included as once its on, it ain’t going anywhere. Perfect before a big night out!
Personalised Embroidered Basket £22 Edit 58
Personalised? Tick. Help keep things tidy? Tick. Original? Tick. Good value? Tick. Need I say more.
NB. And as the kids are on holidays, I don’t have time to say more, although I have really perfected one finger left hand typing whilst keeping tot at bay with right hand. But it takes longer than I would like!
Superhero Scootearz £12.99 Scooterearz
These keep little hands warm without the headache of looking for/misplacing /losing gloves each day, not to mention the effort to put them on the right way!
Leather Clutch Bag £30 Davina Mulford Millinery
This little combination would be a perfect gift for a sister in law or mother. Davina also sells beautiful fedora’s!
Character Embelished Skirt £15 Next
There are some high street shops that you can’t give as a present. Next isn;t one of them. They have upped their game recently and there smart simple styles could often be mistaken for … designer! Here is a classic example. A cute charcoal gathered skirt with grosgrain ribbon and applique little animals on it. I’m not into emblems, motifs or applique for that matter but this is charming (and it has a little red robin on it – a cheeky nod to Christmas). Alas, I had to ask the assistant to take it from my hands and place it back on the rails. My daughter doesn’t ‘need’ any more winter clothes!
Snowcap Beanie reduced to £38 Anthropologie
This popped up on my Instagram feed from a fab fashion blog I follow Wearing It Today
A lush take on the the mainstream Pom Pom Hat!
Hope you are enjoying the fun festive frivolities this week. Hope you go get some rest before Christmas so you are fresh for Father Christmas xx
