Hopefully this Christmas gift guide will save you some time and stress and give you some great little gift ideas for your family and friends!

This year once again I’ve been super organised (*pats herself on the back*) and have created a Christmas gift guide for her. Featuring lots of great little gifts that your mum, girlfriend, sister, or best friend will love.

La Redoute Fashion Bloggers Christmas Party

Recently I've had a fantastic day with not one but two really fun events. I attended a Christmas Meet organised by the lovely Rhianna from Robowecop and then La Redoute's Blogger Christmas party which was my favourite blogger event of 2015! La Redoute held the event at Lamberts Yard in Leeds and all of us Yorkshire bloggers were over the moon.

Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals (Pt 1)

Merry Christmas lovelies!

This is post is very late because I have been very busy all day eating, napping, drinking and burning a hole in the sofa.

Today is really a Christmas celebration part 1 as on the 27th we will have a second postponed Lithuanian Christmas in Ireland with my family.

The boys mum is amazing with her Christmas table decorations so I just had to make some pictures of it.

This was probably the best cooked ham I've ever had, home cooked by Oliver's dad David.

With all the meat, chocolate and cheese it's safe to say that I have probably consumed about a weeks worth of saturated fat in one day. I don't even feel bad about it!

For one of the boy's parents present I bought a custom made Lithuanian Honey cake (Medutis) which tastes absolutely heavenly.

I hope your Christmas has been as lovely as mine!

Festive Love,

It's almost Christmas!!

It doesn't really feel like Christmas Eve, it seems that Christmas has sneaked up so fast this year.

This evening I will be doing the last touches of gift wrapping, playing with the cats, watching Christmas episodes of Friends and drinking lots of Chococinos.

Oliver's parents house always looks stunning at Christmas and this year they have the most amazing real Christmas tree which smells like a magical winter forest.

Sunny the Ragdoll kitten loves Christmas because there are lots of shiny decorations to play with.

Which also means that he tires himself out and then falls asleep on me and pretty much everywhere around the house.

Wrapping Presents

I'm really not very good at wrapping presents and in all honesty and I usually get bored after doing one or two. I've tried to keep myself a little more excited about wrapping by buying some nice wrapping paper on a budget.
The roll of paper below is from Paper Chase and has a really nice crafty look to it.

I bought the name tags from Poundland, they came in a really nice set of 36 cards with 4 different designs and all for a £1! Bargain.

The Blue and Red Polka dot paper are from Primark and I think they were only £1 or £1.50 a roll.

I also bough three single sheets of wrapping paper as I absolutely fell in love with the Blue Sheep textured paper from Clintons, plus they had a buy one get one free deal so I just couldn't say no...

The other sheet I chose was the cat printed one below because, well it has cats on it!

I can't take credit of the packaging for this one.

We bought some hand made natural soaps from the Leeds Corn Exchange Christmas craft market last weekend and the lady was kind enough to wrap it up for us. It took a lot of self control not to keep this for myself.

Another sheet of paper which I think is absolutely stunning is the Reindeer paper which I bought from the Dean Clough Gallery shop in Halifax.
