It was like a lucky dip, finding the products nestled in the multi coloured box. My room was instantly filled with scrumptious scents of bomb cosmetics.

An Elegant Christmas Gift Guide



I know that we are only half way through October, but I began my christmas shopping early this year for family and friends (adding in a few extra gifts for myself). I find that starting the christmas shopping early doesn't only spread the cost, but it allows you to grab the best gifts before they are all sold out. It also means that come December, you are organised and can enjoy the festive season without worrying about purchasing presents as it is all done, accept a few finishing touches. 



The first presents that I picked up were a trio of L'Occitane christmas bobbles, perfect for a few family members on christmas eve. I also love the Demeter pixie dust fragrance, which i purchased for myself and a few of my girlie friends. With a fruity, sugary scent it will have your family and friends thinking happy thoughts. 




The Pretty You London slippers are so luxurious and princess perfect for any age. They have a wide range to choose from including ballerina, bootie mule & open toe. I picked up the beautiful faux fur octavia white for a friend, Olympa pink for my grandmother and the gorgeous martha pink for myself! 





Bomb Cosmetics have a lovely range of gift sets featuring their bath blasters, melts, soaps, fragranced candles and shower butter products. My particular favourite is the Little Box of Love for £13.99. The Lush fairy magic wand also makes the perfect stocking filler, I love the sweet pink sugary fragrance.






It is the perfect time to shop at Kate Spade, as they are currently offering 20% off select products. The Kate Spade handbags would make a luxurious christmas gift this year, if you really want to spoil a special someone. My particular favourite is the Cameron Street Perforate Candace satchel in blush pink for £358. The grosgrain bow hat, glove and scarf set would also make a beautiful christmas gift. Truth be told, I love everything from Kate Spade and would be over the moon with any one of their products this year. 






Finally, if you want to be really indulgent this year look no further than Louis Vuitton for the most beautiful leather gifts. Certain items can be personalised to make it extra special for your friends and family this christmas. The Emilie Wallet (as seen below) can be personalised in the interior of the purse and comes in a wide range of colours and materials. I love this rose ballerine with the traditional monogram print. For the special man in your life, Louis Vuitton have a sophisticated range of wallets, bags and accessories. 






I hope that you have enjoyed reading my elegant christmas gift guide with a few of my favourites this year. Happy Shopping! xxx
