For those of you who are terribly late at buying presents.


Soap and Glory Body Butters - £8 - Boots
Oh my goodness, these all smell gorgeous! You get three different mini body butters in this pack, which are:
  • Butter Yourself,
  • Sugar Crush,
  • The Righteous Butter.
After all, who doesn't love some Soap and Glory goodies for Christmas? And, if you fancy getting these for yourself, wait until after Christmas when they'll be half price! That's what I did last Christmas!

Nescafe Dulce Gusto Coffee Machine - £45 - Currys PC World
For the coffee lover in your life. I've had this machine for about 10 months now and it's brilliant.

You buy pods, which are available from supermarkets and then pop them in the machine. You flick a switch and then wait for your drink to be made! It really is that  easy, and it's much cheaper than getting takeaway coffees all the time. Unless, like me, you're hopelessly addicted to Starbucks Cappuccinos. 
(Nothing's going to stop me from getting my Starbucks fix, except a nuclear war or something.)

Boots Extracts Strawberry Mini Mix - £4 - Boots, obvs.
Lovely little present containing shower gel and body butter. I got this for my best friend, so hopefully she won't be reading...

Mac Lipstick -  £15.50 - Mac Cosmetics 
If you've not seen me mention this before, where have you been?! It's lauded one of the best lipsticks for a reason and there are loads of different shades on offer! Pictured is Coral Bliss.

Satsuma Shower Gel - £4 - Body Shop
This smells AMAZING. I only stumbled across this last week, when I bought it for myself but had to pop back to get some more for presents. As well as smelling wonderful, it's also soap-free, so it won't dry your skin out, which is brilliant at this time of year!

Note: Your entire bathroom smells of satsumas for hours afterwards using. (Not complaining though.)

If the receiver of your gift isn't that big a fan of satsumas, the Body Shop offer a range of other scented shower gels too!

Just as an aside, I'm not writing a Christmas Gift Guide: For Him, because I don't have very many men to buy Christmas presents for... I don't think I'd be much help in that respect anyway... It'd probably only be socks, ties and beers.

If you're tight, this is the post for you. After some stocking fillers, but don't know where to start? Here are some ideas!



Barry M Limited Edition Glitter Nail Polish - £3.99
(Who doesn't love Barry M? Who even knows who this Barry M guy is? Is it Barry Manilow?)

I picked this up in Boots the other day for £3.99 and it's beautifully festive and glittery. There are two limited edition shades currently on offer to celebrate Christmas: Moonlight (above) and Starlight. 

These add such a lovely bit of sparkle to your nails. They can be used on their own or popped over the top of another colour to give nails a bit of festive sparkle!


Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick 110 - £5.49
This is a bright red, perfect for the party season. I recently mentioned this in my November Favourites, so won't go into too much detail here. (You can read that post here!)

This is almost a dupe for Mac Ruby Woo which costs around £10 more. If you're on a budget and know someone who's lusting after that lipstick, why not get them this instead?


Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick - £6.49
Yes, another lipstick... I'm addicted at the moment. Rimmel are renowned for their great value, good quality lipsticks. This is for those people with dryer lips that don't want to shy away from lippy. It's moisturising, long-lasting and there are a range of colours on offer.

I have it in the shade 130 Oxford Street Fuchsia, which is a perky pink.
(I like alliteration. Don't judge me, okay?) 

Zoella Beauty Goodies - £5 each
Pictured is the Zoella Body Lotion, but the Body Wash and the bath fizz (which is supposed to be REALLY good) are also only £5. The only places that stock the Zoella Beauty range are selected Superdrugs stores and Feel Unique at the moment.

I also mentioned this body lotion in my November Favourites, which you can read by clicking here!

Original Source Skin Quench Body Butter - £5.99

This is a lovely brand new body butter from Original Source. Admit it, this is very cheap for a good quality body butter, it's even fast drying and vegan too! I've got Vanilla and Sweet Almond Oil, but you can also get your hands on Lime and Coconut Oil. They sound good enough to eat, don't they? 

(But don't do that, you'll probably end up in hospital if you do...)

Twining's Double Mint Sensation Tea - £2.49
Of course, I've mentioned this before... You can read my post on this lovely tea by clicking here. 

This tasty tea is incredibly minty and refreshing. It's also well-presented, which makes it a good gift for the tea lover in your life. At £2.49 for 20 envelopes, it's not going to break the bank either!

You can buy this from most UK supermarkets or from Twining's website.

Maybelline Baby Lips - £2.99
This is a fantastic tinted lip balm that's available in a range of colours. Maybelline have also recently released the Electro range of Baby Lips; which are a bit bolder, but also still £2.99. All in all, a cheap but lovely stocking filler! 

You can even pick these up in supermarkets if you can't venture down to Boots or Superdrug!


Keep your eyes peeled for more gift ideas coming very soon! 
(which are clearly for those of us who leave our present buying until the last minute...)
