On the 3rd of December I took a trip overseas to New York City. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Every single avenue and shop was decorated Christmassy and I loved every moment. I am going to share some of the pictures I took with you.

Whether it be a dad, brother, boyfriend or granddad, we are probably all buying for someone special this Christmas. I have made a list of a few gifts that you could possibly get them, and some of these I will be giving myself.

1. Headphones-

headphones are a great buy because you know that they will use them. There are many headphones out there, but my brothers favourite are Dr. Dre beats. These are quite expensive so could be a special and indulgent gift for someone you love. They retail around £130.

2. Aftershave/ Fragrances-

you cant go wrong with getting aftershave for a man, as long as you know what scents they like. This tom ford noir fragrance retails at around £65 for 100ml and is perfect for a sophisticated and professional guy. Its quite an indulgent scent with vanilla, patchouli and oud wood.

3. Miscellaneous-

For the man who has pretty much everything you could get him weird little gifts like these. These are all from the website IWOOT and they have lots of different items for really good prices. I will probably be ordering one of these items for my dad as he likes this type of thing.

Sorry this was a short post, I find that theres not much you can get men for Christmas except for the basic things.

I hope this was helpful in some way,

If any of you are struggling what to ask for for Christmas, then I'm hoping I'll be giving you some ideas. Here is my Christmas wishlist. This is a 'wishlist' and not a 'wantlist' so I'm not expecting to receive all this in any way.

Everyone loves a good Christmas song, Christmas songs make me feel very cosy and well, Christmassy. So I'm going to share my favourites with you. 




1. Baby it's cold outside - Idina Menzel and Michael Bublé
2. Mistletoe - Justin Bieber
3. All I want for Christmas is you - Mariah Carey
4. Santa tell me - Ariana Grandé
5. White Christmas - Michael Bublé
6. Santa baby - Michael Bublé
7. Fairytale of New York- (idk who sings it lol)
8. Do they know it's Christmas? - Band aid 30
9. Christmas - the one that goes 'CHRISTMAS the snows coming down'
10. Sleigh bells ringing - idk but it's the one off 'Elf'

Hope you enjoyed this post, comment below your favourite song.

We all have an important girl in our lives, whether it be a sister, mum, nan, auntie or girlfriend. So here are some ideas for what you can get them for Christmas, if you're struggling or not.


Lush gift sets-

1. Its the most wonderful time of the year- there's something about listening to Christmas songs that makes me feel so festive. Just listening to these whilst doing your work or tidying up makes you feel so cheery and happy. Its so weird how something so little like a Christmas song can boost your mood.

2. Fairy lights, fairy lights and a heck load of fairy lights- decorating the house could be my favourite part of Christmas, but then again I'll probably say that about everything. Fairy lights make your room look so cosy and warm, especially if they are warm white coloured lights. Putting the tree up is another favourite, all the family come together to put the bulbuls and lights on the tree, and although it takes a while, seeing the end product is worth the wait.

3. Christmas is a time for giving- don't get me wrong, I do love opening presents and seeing what people have bought for me. But I much prefer giving presents. Just seeing the expression on their faces, if they like it or not, and seeing all the hard work that went into buying/ making that gift pay off. Christmas is a time for family, so why not show that you love them?

4. Shopping till you drop- going shopping at night time has always been one of my favourite things, especially at Christmas, when all the lights are on and every store has Christmas displays. And what makes it better? the fact that every store has Christmas music playing and you just can't help but sing along.

5. Baking a whole load- baking cookies, gingerbread, cake and mince pies (ew) is another fabulous thing. You have a large variety of things to bake, gingerbread is a family favourite of ours, and the rest of my family love mince pies, even though I hate them, so I make some for them. I have some good ideas for Christmas cookies, which will be a blogpost coming soon.

I hope you enjoyed reading what I love about Christmas, this isn't everything as if I wrote everything you would be here till Christmas (fun pun).

Thank you for reading,
