Gift guide for him

It's only six days until Christmas! How exciting is that? I reallycan't wait! But, you might be stressing out because you didn't buy a gift for your loved one or your friend, don't worry, I'm here to help you! If you're buying a gift for your boyfriend, I know how hard it is! I had all these crazy ideas but they were all just too expensive and since I'm not rich, I went for a cheaper alternative and he absolutely loved it! I got him a sweater, a chewbacca onesie and a phone case and he couldn't be any happier. So don't worry, it will be okay! You don't have to buy one big present, you can buy seperate gifts and he will love it! Okay, enough rambling, let's begin!

Jumper, I bought one for my boyfriend and he loves it! (at least that's what he tells me) It doesn't have to be a Christmas jumper, but if your (boy)friend loves Christmas, a Christmas jumper is perfect! But for those who don't want to walk outside with a crazy Christmas jumper, there are as I call them 'socially acceptable Christmas jumpers'
Btw, has anyone else noticed Primark has a lot more christmas jumpers for men than for women?
This is the one I gave my boyfriend
PRIMARK
Pyjama's  I know, you've thought about this a few times but everytime you thought 'no, that's stupid' believe me, I've been there! But honestly, it really isn't! So go ahead, buy those checkered pyjama bottoms you've been wanting to buy him since the beginning of December!
You can even steal them if you want to!
TOPMAN
Boxers, and you can get really creative with this one, because a lot of brands have christmas edition boxers and I absolutely love them!
Don't judge, I love them
ASOS
Speaker your (boy)friend wouldn't be human if he doesn't like to listen to music, so what better to buy than a mini speaker? He could take it everywhere with him and it just looks adorable!
ASOS
Fragrance, we all like to smell nice, so boys do too, and some fragrances are more expensive than others but they are definetely worth it!
FEELUNIQUE
Concert tickets, is the band he has been raving about coming near you and didn't he get any tickets yet? Perfect! This the opportunity to buy them and surprise him with them! Or do you guys have 'your song' and is the artist of it performing near you? Even more perfect! He will never see it coming but he will love it!

Cinema tickets, have you been talking about 'that film you really need to watch' ? Buy some cinema tickets and go watch it! 

Something personal, every relationship/friendship is different, there are things you two have talked about a lot and things like that, so just think and maybe you'll find the perfect gift that describes that person or your relationship, doesn't have to be expensive at all, if it has an emotional value, it's the best gift someone could've ever imagined!

Okay, those were all my ideas for gifts for him, I hope I gave you a little bit of inspiration so your christmas shopping is a little less stressful! Good luck with the hunt for the perfect gift! You'll do a great job! Let me know in the comments what you are gonna buy your (boy)friend for christmas or just gifts that popped in your mind that you think others will find useful!

Gift guide for her

Earlier today, I was planning a shopping trip with one my friends and she was like 'you'll have to help me find some gifts for christmas because I really don't know what to buy'. And she probably isn't the only person with that problem, so I thought, why not help some of you out by writing a 'gift guide'. Today it's gonna be one for women but later this week, there'll be one for men, so don't worry. Let's begin shall we?

♥ Christmas jumper, if you've got a Christmas party a few days before Christmas and you're friend is a Christmas fanatic aka someone like me, she will be thrilled to receive one of these! You can basically find them everywhere! But be quick because they are selling out very fast! 
Next
'Spa kit': buy her all kinds of skincare products, body lotions, face masks, bath bombs etc... This might seem like a very lame present but honestly, I would LOVE to receive one of these because sometimes you just really wanna relax and go all out with the products.

Cosy dressing gown: Nothing's more fun than cozying up in a soft and warm dressing gown and just watching your favourite Christmas film! You can go crazy and buy one with a fun print on it or you can just keep it simple with a plain one
ASOS
ASOS
Slippers:  I really feel like there's a theme going on here haha but hey, you can't blame me. Who doesn't like warm fuzzy slippers? I absolutely love them tbh. You can either stay in the Christmas theme or go for ones they can wear all year 'round
ASOS
Hot water bottle + socks set: once again, a hot water bottle might seem like a lame gift, but if you're a girl and you suffer from 'that time of the month' this can be the best thing you've ever gotten, believe me! And hot water bottles come in all shapes and sizes so there are some really cute ones! And when I search hot water bottle on Asos, most of them come with some fuzzy socks so that's a nice extra 'cause who doesn't like socks?
ASOS
Perfume: If you really want to spoil someone, buy them a nice perfume. I know perfumes can be tricky but if you have to buy a gift for someone you know really well, this can be perfect. I recently discovered the 'Si' perfume by Giorgio Armani and I really like the smell of it!
Feelunique
Make up: If you are buying something for someone who loves to do their make up, this can be a gift from heaven. And a lot of make up brands are making some really amazing gift sets so you don't even have to put one together yourself
Feelunique
Anything from Zoella beauty and I'm not just saying this because I absolutely love Zoe, but because her products really are amazing!
Feelunique

Something you made yourself: if you search for cute diy gifts on Pinterest, I guarantee you, there will be something you're able to do. And I think that gifts you made yourself are very sweet and have that thing that other gifts don't have and that's just the fact that you put so much time and effort in to it.

Something personal: if you are really close with the person you have to buy a gift for, think about what is typical for your friendship/relationship and try to buy something that describes your relationship. 

Those are only some of the ideas I have, but if I would put everything in here you would be sitting here until Christmas. I hope you liked this post and you found some ideas. I love writing posts like these so I hope you love reading them! 
Let me know in the comments what you are gonna buy for Christmas or what you would really want to receive!

Where the hell have I been?!

Sorryyyyy guys, I know in my last post, I said that I was gonna post more frequently and I didn't really do that... But it's one of my New Year's resolution, promised! I have just been really bussy with school and work and life basically,  but I know that's not an excuse. I did think of my blog a lot, but I didn't reall have an idea or plan or idk so I never really did something, until now, yay! In this post I'm just gonna tell you about me, my life, what's been going on etc... Wow that sounds really deep and serious and that's not what this post is gonna be haha. I just thought I'd give you a little update (:

So in September, I started my last year of high school and it's kinda crazy to think I'll be in university next year because I literally feel like I just turned 12 or something. It's crazy to think that this time next year, everything will be different and I'll have so many new friends but I'll also lose some current friends and I don't really want that because I'm quite satisfied with my life as it is right now. So I'm really excited to go to uni next year but also kinda scared, but those are worries for later! Right now, I have to focus on my exams, if you are reading this and you're in the middle of your exams as well, come on, you can do it! Just believe in yourself and before you know it, it's Christmas!
Enough school talk, let's talk about my trip to Rome, holy crap, have you ever been there? It is soooo petty! I went there with my parents and my sister the first week of November and I absolutely loved it! I'm not gonna tell you too much because there is a very big chance there will be a post about that too, if I can ever get my hands on the pictures because they are on my sister's camera (even though I took like 95% of the pictures) But I can assure you, Rome is a very lovely city!
You know what I also did? I found a job, yes I did haha. I was tired of being broke af all the time so I finally decided to send an email to the place where my sister and brothers were already working and I got a reply that I could start there, I work as a waitress and I kinda enjoy it. And not only because I'm making money haha.
I'm thinking of more things I've done but I can't really think of any, that's how interesting my life has been.
But I do have a lot of really exciting things planned for when my exams are over! I've got two christmas parties planned with some friends and I'm going to a christmas market with my boyfriend. I am a really big Christmas fan so I couldn't be more excited! Oh, one more thing, I put up the Christmas tree yesterday and I have to say, I'm pretty damn proud of myself. My parents went to Trier, Germany for two days and I begged them to buy a Christmas tree so I could decorate while they were gone, at first, they weren't really that into it, but they finally had to give in because they realised I wasn't gonna stop asking. So yesterday, when I came home, I put on my christmas jumper, put on some christmas music and decorated the tree. And the result is amazing, even if I say so myseld. My grandparents brought us some food today and my grandpa said 'that's probably one of the most beautiful christmas trees I've seen here' sooo yeah, pretty proud!

Anyways, that was it, it was kinda all over the place but I like reading posts like this and I also really enjoy writing them. I hope you enjoyed this one and I can assure you there will be some festive  posts coming, so get excited for that! See you soon! (hopefully)
