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!
