CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE 2014: GIFTS FOR HER


This is the second gift guide in my Christmas Gift Guide series. Here i'm talking about gifts for her... these are gifts you could buy for your mom, nan and friends. I will be doing another blog post which will be for a younger age range, i've split gifts for her into a mom/ nan age range and younger sister/ friends age group but they could all be great for all age ranges. 

I'm loving some of the Christmas gifts that are out right now, the Liz Earle Star Beauty Treat is such a great idea, it's like a bauble but shaped like a star and inside you get a nail colour or a lipstick, I got this natural pink colour which would be perfect for all ages, and theres a few different colours to choose from, it's only £7.50* so would be great for anyone a secret santa, teacher or family. 

One of my favourite brands, Rituals sent over this gorgeous Touch of Light Body Cream* and Diwali Delight shower gel*, I love Rituals and think you get such great quality with their products. I think these would make a great gift for your nan or mom if she likes her baths and showers. Give her a luxurious gift this year. 

This Burts Bee's Honey Pot* is one of my favourite gift ideas this year, it's such a cute gift to give someone. I think again it's perfect for everyone! Inside is two lip balms and a hand Salve. It comes in this gorgeous glass honey jar which you could use as a tealight holder or store your make up brushes in. It retails at RRP £7.99 so again is really affordable!

Another favourite brand of mine is Clarins, i've included a couple of their lip products, the natural lip protector * is such a gorgeous product, Clarins are well known and would make a great gift for everyone. This lip product has amazing reviews and has won awards! It's not sticky, inside there's Shea Butter and mango to repair and soften, making it perfect for all ages. 

My mom wears alot of Jewellery, so this Bangle from Tales from the Earth* is perfect. It's Rhodium plated and has abit of weight to it, I would check the dimensions of the person your buying it for as I doubt it would actually fit on my moms wrist. They sell a few bangles and they have different inscriptions inside making them perfect for so many different people. This one reads an ocean of love which would be perfect for your mom or for a loved one. The retail at £45 which I think is resonable for the quality.

Everyone loves The Body Shop, i've included this body butter because my mom is a huge fan of Body Butters, and i'm always seeing people rave about The Body Shops body butters. This is from the latest Christmas collection Glazed Apple * The Collection includes other products like a Glazed Apple Soap Bar, lip balm, bath sprinkles and more. The body shop is really afforable and a brand everyone knows and loves. They always have gorgeous Christmas Gifts and loads of offers.

Perfume, I always buy my mom perfume! It's what she normally asks for. We all wear perfume, I wear it every single day, I have bottles and bottles of the stuff but it will be used. I've been sent this bottle of Ghost to feature, I've actually never smelled Ghost before. This is Deep Night* and it smells so good, It's a warm scent, very floral. Its a feminine but sexy smell. I love it and I know my mom will. Ghost again is a very well know scent so this would make a perfect gift for anyone.

REVIEW: RITUALS HIMALAYA WISDOM SCRUB SALT


 RITUALS HIMALAYA WISDOM SCRUB SALT- £16*- RITUALS 


Rituals is one of my favourite brands, i'm always very happy with their product. I am yet to try a product I don't like. The brand has produced some very high quality products. I have tried many products from moisturisers, body scrubs and shower gels and all have been great.


I've been using this salt scrub in the shower quite alot recently. It smells amazing! Very fresh and clean. I have used a few different salt scrubs before but this has been my favourite. I find it dissolves very easily and feels like its actually cleaning my skin.

The salt scrub leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh and its very easy to use. I have been using this for a few weeks now and my pot is still very full, you don't need to use loads of this product.

I find using my hands easy to apply the product and then I use a scrunchie to lather.

I'm gutted as my local Rituals store has closed down however Rituals is now stocked across most department stores.

REVIEW : Rituals Happy Buddha Foaming Shower Gel Sensation

Rituals Happy Buddha Foaming Shower Gel Sensation - £7.00* - Rituals 

I love the Rituals Foaming Shower Gels, the first time I tried one was from a Glossybox and I fell in love! They are a lovely quality and I think they make shower time that bit more special. 

The Laughing Buddha was said to bring happiness and good luck wherever he went thus inspiring these products that bring happiness and good luck into your daily life. 

The organic mandarin and Yuzu leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalised. 

I love the smell ! Mmmm is so clean and orangey ! Its sweet and smells delicious! 

The Rituals ranges are not tested on animals and are dermatologically tested so everything you use on your body is good for you. 

I think the Shower gel is so nice, the gel turns into a foam and it expands so you actually don't need that much. I use a body scrub which I feel works really well with the foam to wash myself. 

The smell is just gorgeous and it's just such a lovely product. My last shower gel from rituals lasted quite a while so i'm hoping this one will last me a few weeks.

The shower gel is £7 for a 200ml can. This is my only flaw with this product. I think £7 is far too much for a shower gel but then Rituals are a luxury home and body cosmetics company so your paying the extra money for a better quality product! 

Would I repurchase?  YES! I love this so much and I just love the smell. I have the Happy Mist aswell which is a light bed and body perfume so I will be reviewing this soon !
