Birthday & Christmas

    Christmas week has been a busy one for my family and I, those of you who know me in person know it was my birthday on the 24th and then Christmas the day afterwards. Quite a few people have already uploaded their Christmas post but I thought I'd include my birthday and Christmas gifts together. Now to go through the stupid but necessary jargon of "I'm not showing off what I've been bought, I'm simply presenting images of said gifts to you etc etc." I do know some people are less fortunate than others but these selected photos are a combination of two heavily gifted events, so I hope you can enjoy what I've been bought (I know I will) and maybe see something you want to pick up yourself. Links will be provided under each image!

INTERVIEWED || Megan Jane Lillie

    Now I haven't done an interview with somebody for quite some time now, so I thought I'd have a little look around at who's blog has taken my fancy recently. Over the past 2 months or so, I've occasionally spoke to Megan through Twitter and Instagram so I thought why not interview this lovely lady? I'll leave all of her links down below after the interview, if you guys want to check her out!

Christmas Presents For The Whole Family Under £25

Top Row - Jones Clock £22.40 || Cream Flowers £22.40
Bottom Row - Lilac Candle £4.80 || Cream Block Calendar £16.00
    
    The first photo set would be for the woman of the house, not every woman wants a several boxes of chocolates off their family members. I feel these pieces can be adapted to your home interior extremely easy as 3/4 are neutral white / cream shades. The 'Carol Lake' candle is available in a variety of different colours but I felt the lilac shade would bring some colour into the home, for the New Year.

    All these items are quite simple but can be the difference of a chic look to your kitchen or a more relaxed and comfortable feel to your lounge area. These presents would also work very well with girls in their later teens (17+) as they could have a strong love for interior design or be heading out to university next year. 

Top Row - L'Occitane After Shave Balm £16.57 || Burberry Scent £22.68
Bottom Row - Chunky Knit Socks £7.00 || BaByliss Grooming Set £20.00
    
    As you've probably guessed, the next photo set is for the male in the house. With 'Movember' ending this month, I'd imagine some men may of kept the facial hair as it's quite cold right now in the UK. So why not treat them to some new blades and after shave balm to treat that rough skin. Ladies should know how damaged your skin gets after shaving your legs numerous times especially over the winter period, so why let his facial skin suffer the same punishment. 

    They'll have no excuse to be smelly anymore with thick cable knit socks to not only keep their feet warm but trap the smell inside. As well as that, the Burberry scent will keep them smelling sweet with a warm masculine under tone in time for the New Years Eve party and long afterwards.     

Top Row - Nurse Kit £9.10 || Hamster & Fun house £11.00
Bottom Row - Superplay House £20.00 || Flitter Fairy £14.00

        All little girls under the age of 11 would love everything and anything from this photo set, they may be simple toys but a child's imagination can go far with the littlest things. They can pretend to cure everybody of their winter flu, or care for that hamster they've always wanted. Which ever it is, there's a diverse variety of toys for little girls this year.

    You don't need to pay crazy prices do treat your little girl to something as simple as a toy house or a magical fairy princess with sparkly wings. This way you can buy more and more gifts with the money you're saving through these cheaper Christmas presents. 

Top Row - Fire Engine £14.00 || Mini Racer Cars £12.50
Bottom Row - Mike The Knight ABC Book £16.00 || Magic Trick Kit £4.99

    Lastly it's the little boy's turn to be spoiled rotten on Christmas for under £25. You can never go wrong with buying a young lad numerous amounts of toy racer cars, let them think they're racing in the F1 championships. If they're into service cars that make load noises, the fire fighter engine is the perfect present. Being larger than toy cars they can feel like they own the street, as they speed around their bedroom saving their toy figures.

    If fast cars doesn't appeal to them, why not introduce them into the magical world of illusion with the simple 12 piece magic kit. You never know, it may set them off for a long successful career into magic. (It's how Derren Brown started out) If they're a little younger, you can get them the musical alphabet book with 'Mike The Knight' and they can learn with their favourite characters from the TV show.

TAG | Christmas Questions

    I thought I'd do something different today and answer a few questions from the Christmas 
Tag that's been floating around peoples blogs. I wasn't tagged by anybody, but after reading Megan Lillie's (http://thumbelinalillie.com/) it got me thinking of what my answers would be. So without further a do, my Christmas Tag.
