CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE: PERSONALISED GIFT IDEAS



This year I've found myself leaning towards personalised gifts. I think there's just so many lovely gifts out there now that can be personalised and it just makes that gift really special.

It's our second Christmas with Amelia so i've bought some personalised photo gifts for our families.
First up i've got this gorgeous wooden frame for Clint, it's from Tesco Photo. It's such a lovely quality and the engraving is lovely. You can personalise it to say whatever you like, and you can even pick your font.

These keyrings are also lovely gifts ideas, I've got one for Clints mom and my dad as little extras to go along side their main gifts. Tesco Photo have a few different keyrings that you can choose from, I went for the metallic keyring for Clints mom and the metallic bottle opener for my dad. I'm really happy with the quality of these, they look really good.

Do you know someone who loves a glass of Prosecco? Why not get them their own personalised bottle of Prosecco, it would be such a lovely gift for a newly married couple? You can personalised your own bottle of Prosecco over at findmeagift.co.uk  it's actually on offer right now for £19.99 and it comes in a nice gold gift box and is wrapped in tissue so you just need to pop a bow on and your good to go!!

We normally buy Clints Mom and Dad a calendar for their kitchen so this year we've made them an Amelia calendar haha! It's so cute I might order myself one! This is the Slim Grid Photo Calendar  from Tesco Photo,  They have loads of different styles to choose from.

I picked out this cute rose gold glitter frame  it's soo cute and only £6 so a lovely stocking filler! They have a heart version too which is super cute.

Tesco Photo also have personalisable football mugs, they stock loads of teams so your sure to find something for the football fans in your life! I have a friend who's a Newcastle fan and he's going to love this mug that has his name on!

I've ordered this lovely wallet for my dad, it's from Amelia and my niece. He's is desperate need of  a new wallet. This is a leather wallet that i've had personalised with Grandad on the outside and inside it says love Amelia and Ivy-Grace, it's from Etsy. It was only £16 and is such lovely quality. I chose Silver engraving but they do Gold too!

This Name a Star Gift Tin is from Findmeagift.co.uk it's a lovely gift idea, i'm super excited to give this to a member of my family so she can name a star!

I have also ordered a few personalised dressing gowns for my friends kids and my niece. They are such a cute gift idea. My niece has an unusual name so I love getting her personal gifts.

CHRISTMAS: GIFT IDEAS FOR FOOD LOVERS




I thought i'd put together a little food lovers gift guide as I have a few products that didn't really fit into any of my other gift guide categories and they seemed to fit the foodie category. 

First up, if you saw yesterdays post you will have seen I featured a Luxury hamper from Prestige Hampers. Today i'm including this smaller hamper, this is a more affordable option and it contains lots of festive goodies. The Seasonal Treats Box retails at £22.99 and is full of lots of lovely brands and products. 

You get a range of products including jams, fudge, popcorn, tea and more... 

It comes in this really nice box which would be easy to wrap or you can have it delivered to the recipient in time for Christmas. 

As I mentioned in yesterdays post I think hampers are a great gift idea for those people that we struggle to buy gifts for. They look impressive and are usually full of lovely treats that most of us would be happy to recieve. 

Next is this cute condiments pot from Helen Russel creations, it's such a cute little pot and would make a lovely gift for Christmas for any food lover ( or penguin lover) I think this would make the perfect mint sauce pot or you could use it for another condiment on Christmas Day. I will use this all year round as I love it and think it's just so cute. Helen has lots of other lovely products including stationary, cards and other Christmas products so be sure to have a look. 

Finally I thought this was such an unusual product perfect for any Prosecco lover ( we all know one) With this you can turn water into Prosecco, I think this is really fun and a lovely gift idea instead of just buying someone a bottle of fizz they can actually make their own. You can buy this from findmeagift.com and it's actually on offer right now.  

A few more food gifts that I think would make nice gifts are, a voucher- getting someone a voucher for meal out or a night at the cinema can mean alot to some people. Maybe they are saving to buy a house or don't really have time to think about going for a meal. This gives people an excuse to put a date in their diary and go out without spending any money. 
Another idea is a ticket to The Good Food Show or a similar event a like market etc. Again it gets people out to events that they might not have gone to before and if they love food they will be thrilled to attend a foodie event. 
Experience days, there's lots of foodie experience days out there. You can go wine tasting or go on a course and learn how to cook. You will be surprised at how many food and drink experiences there are. 


I hope my gift ideas for food lovers has helped? What kind of gifts would you buy for the food lover in your life?

CHRISTMAS: GIFT GUIDE FOR HIM



I know some people find it really hard to shop for the men in their lives. I have a few men to shmen op for over Christmas, Clint, my dad, his dad and my grandad. I agree that men are difficult to shop for and I don't know if it's just the men in my life but they always say they don't need anything so it's super hard to shop for them. I tend to play it safe and stick to smellies but i've got a few other gift ideas below to help you shop for the men in your life.

As I mentioned above I tend to go for smellies, you can't really go wrong as men always need shower gels and aftershaves. This Crabtree and Evelyn Moroccan Myrrh Cologne is a really lovely scent, I really like the packaging, the Orange really stands out. There is a whole Moroccan Myrrh range so check that out too for other products like soap, shave cream and body wash.

Another brand that does some really good smellies and other mens grooming products is Bluebeards Revenge. They have a huge selection of products such as aftershaves, shaving products and haircare products. Their products smell amazing and Clint has actually been a fan of theirs for a few years now. He really likes their Matt Clay hair product. This gift set is a great value for money as it contains a 100ml size bottle of the Bluebeards Revenge Eau de toilette and a 150ml size of the shower gel. They come in this lovely gift box so would make a lovely gift.


Chemist.co.uk have actually put together some really great gift sets perfect for Christmas, they have a set for her, for him and one for the kids. There are some really great products in the set for him including a Dove For Men Moisturiser  and face wash. A Rock Face Body spray,  moisturiser  and shower wash  aswell as a Loreal Men Expert Shower Gel. It's a great set with lots of fab brands and products inside. You can also shop the products individually and the website also stock lots more brands and products at really good prices.

If you don't want to buy grooming or skincare products for the men in your life then here's a few other gift ideas that might help. Clint has quite a big DVD collection and he usually asks for some DVD's for Christmas. I knew he would want the new Fast and Furious film so i've picked that up for him, we've actually bought the other DVD Black Sails for his Dad as he likes DVD's too! The new Game of Thrones season is out this week too, I think that would be a good gift for those Thrones fans out there! I think dvd's are quite affordable so even if your on a tight budget this is a good option. If you don't really know what DVD to get someone but you know they would appreciate a DVD or CD you could get them a voucher for somewhere like HMV.

This leather belt is from Dobell, I really like brown leather belts and think they look really smart. It's always handy to have a belt and Clint's belts are all looking a little worse for wear so I thought i'd grab him a new one. I like the simple style of this belt and think it would go with most of his clothes. Dobell also stock black belts so if you prefer a black belt then check them out. The belt is really good quality and a good price. Sometimes its good to buy people the things they need, I always tend to grab Clint some new socks, underwear and this year a nice new belt.

A few other gift ideas for him include, a shaver - I bought my dad a shaver last year I think, I got him a dry or wet shaver and he uses it all the time.
Gadgets! Men love gadgets, my dad asks for a drone nearly every year! I always get him one but he seems to crash or lose them.
Clothing- My dad and Clint always need new clothes, why not get them a nice new pair of jeans like these ones from River Island.  I like the straight leg style and I think that dark navy jeans always look smart. I always buy Clint and my dad socks because you can't go wrong with some new socks.
Personalised gifts - It's Clints first Christmas as a daddy, I really want to get him a frame or a keyring that says daddy
How about some new car cleaning products, The Simoniz car cleaning gift kit with wireless mouse is a great gift idea for those car lovers out there.  


What do you get the men in your life for Christmas? Have you got any good gift ideas? Have you done your Christmas shopping already, I have loads to buy!
