Hello Everyone,

I LOVE Christmas songs so much so I wanted to do a Christmas song themed post as part of Blogmas but I did a Christmas playlist last year during Blogmas so instead I thought I would list some of my favourite Christmas song lyrics instead today. I hope you like this post.

1. A very Merry Christmas,

And a Happy New Year,

Let's hope it's a good one,

Without any fear

~ Happy Christmas (War Is Over)

2. Once bitten and twice shy,

I keep my distance but you still catch my eye

~ Last Christmas

3. When the snowman brings the snow,

Well he just might like to know,

He's put a great big smile on somebody's face

~ I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday

4. So Happy Christmas,

I love you baby,

I can see a better time,

When all our dreams come true

~ Fairytale Of Newyork

5. All the lights are shining,

So brightly everywhere,

And the sound of children's,

Laughter fills the air

~ All I Want For Christmas Is You

6. Love and laughter and joy ever after,

Ours for the taking, just follow the master

~ Mistletoe & Wine

7. It's the season,

Love and understanding

~ Merry Christmas Everyone

8. And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy,

Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

~ Do They Know It's Christmas Time At All?

9. Have a Happy Holiday,

Everyone dancing merrily,

In the new old-fashioned way

~ Rocking Around The Christmas Tree

10. It's the most beautiful time of the year,

Lights fill the streets, spreading so much cheer

Blogmas 2016 - Day 12 - Present Ideas For Someone On A Budget!

Hello Everyone,

Christmas can be an expensive time of year so today I wanted to give you some gift ideas to help those of you out who are on a bit of a budget this Christmas. I hope some of you find this helpful.

1. Flowers

Flowers can be a really cheap but nice present for someone if you get some good quality, pretty flowers. It's a good way to show someone you care this Christmas without having to spend too much.

2. Chocolates

Chocolates are another really cheap present that you can get for people. You can get selection boxes for as cheap as £2. They can be even cheaper if you manage to get them when they're on offer.

3. Books

You can get some really good books for around £6.99 which isn't much to spend at all on someone for Christmas. This is another really affordable but really nice present.

4. Gift Sets

There are so many really nice gift sets for sale around Christmas for £15 and under in stores such as Boots & Superdrug. Sets from Jack Wills, NYX, Nivea, Soap & Glory and many more are available. I'm sure many people would be happy with these as a Christmas present.

5. DVDs & CDs

DVDs and CDs are also really affordable but still nice Christmas presents. Everyone would appreciate a good DVD or CD so you can't go wrong really.

Bonus ~ Take a look at some of the YouTube videos I recommended on my Christmas DIYs post. Some of them can give you some good ideas of presents that allow you to get creative and save money at the same time.

So there are 6 present ideas for people on a budget. I hope you find this helpful. It is definitely possible to give presents on a budget so don't worry. It's the thought that counts and people will appreciate the gesture no matter how much the present cost.

Blogmas 2016 - Day 10 - Secret Santa Gift Ideas!

Blogmas 2016!

*All images from now on are taken from the internet*

Hello Everyone,

Secret Santa is a great way to give presents at Christmas time if you have a big group to buy for. It is a great way to save money as well. Today I thought I would give you some ideas of what you could get your secret Santa this year.

For Girls

1. A Scarf

A scarf is a really nice secret Santa present because it is something that they are going to use especially been as it is Winter so it will be put to good use. This one from Accessorize is really nice. It's £19 which means it is probably really good quality and is a good amount to spend on a secret Santa present.

2. A Clutch

A clutch is another great secret Santa present because it will always come in handy for nights out. This one from Accessorize is really nice and is only £15 which is really affordable.

                                              

3. Beauty Gift Sets

You can't go wrong with getting someone a beauty gift set at Christmas. Everyone loves them! Soap & Glory (available at Boots) do some that look really good and they're really affordable at around £15.

For Boys

1. A Book

A book is a really good secret Santa present for a man/boy. If you know what celebrity they like you could get them an autobiography. For example, this Phil Collins autobiography is available on Amazon for £9.50.

                                                         

2. Gift Sets

Gift Sets can also be really good secret Santa presents for men. They're also really affordable and loads of popular brands sell them around Christmas time such as Nivea and Lynx.

                                                      

3. PJs

Another nice secret Santa present idea is PJs. If you get some really nice PJ bottoms from Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren I'm sure your secret Santa would love that as a present. This present might be more expensive than the others that I've mentioned but if it's a close friends or family member then it might be worth it.

                                                     

So there you have three secret Santa gift ideas for girls and three for boys. Put these presents with some chocolate and I'm sure whoever is receiving your present would be very happy. I hope you have found this post helpful if you are buying for a Secret Santa this year. Thanks for reading!

Blogmas 2016 - Day 9 - Christmas Outfit Essentials!

Blogmas 2016!

*All images below are taken from the internet*

Hello Everyone,

I hope you're enjoying Blogmas so far. Today's post is all about Christmas fashion and the outfit essentials that you need for Christmas.

1. Coats

It's always cold in Winter so you need a coat that is going to go with every outfit and will help to put an outfit together.

2. Chelsea Boots

Chelsea boots are something that I wear non-stop around Christmas time because they keep your feet warm and comfy.

3. A Sparkly Dress

A sparkly dress like this is perfect for a Christmas party or night out.

4. Scarfs

Scarfs like the one above help to make any Christmas outfit and they're also essential for keeping you warm and cosy.

5. Christmas Earrings

These earrings are really cute for around Christmas time especially for parties.

6. Christmas Jumpers

I would wear a different Christmas jumper every day in December if I had enough. They're definitely a Christmas wardrobe staple.

7. Christmas PJs

As for in the evening at home your outfit has got to be a pair of Christmas PJs.

They are just some things that I think are essentials in terms of outfits at Christmas time. Maybe if you haven't got some of these items you might want to purchase them. These are perfect things to wear at Christmas time. I hope you enjoyed this post.
