Christmas crept up on me a lot this year. I was quite busy with Uni through the first half of December, so it really came out of nowhere! Despite being grossly underprepared (For instance, still wrapping presents in the early hours of the morning on Christmas day!) it was pretty enjoyable. So, here are some pictures of this Christmas:
Pandas are festive, right?
Above are a selection of pictures from Christmas, if you hadn't already guessed.

Christmas Day this year consisted of: pandas, presents and a bit of turkey too. Just as an aside, I didn't get the dog drunk... I selflessly drank the wine instead to save him from any potential drunken canine capers. I couldn't finish that massive plate of Christmas dinner either, despite the fact that there's every excuse stuff your face at this time of year!
Boxing Day was full of snow! (Proper snow from the sky!) And although it looked pretty; it was a bit of a nightmare, to be honest. Seriously: People falling, cars skidding and getting stuck in town at night in the snow is not fun. But I'm home now, sat in front of the fire, so all's good.
Hope you had a lovely Christmas too!

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...)
