I love reading and have a kindle so although boring, an Amazon gift card is always appreciated to buy kindle books with. Also, a nice kindle cover.

Or, these are really popular at the moment for readers.
I got lovely wrapping paper by Cupcakes & Cashmere from TK Maxx either last Christmas or the year before - I had no idea they made non-giftwrap items! That cushion looks like a good Christmas gift for me from me (that the cat will evidently steal 😅)

Their wrapping paper is nice and thick and has grids on the other side to help with cutting - I love when gift wrap has grids on the non-design side!

I love the grids too!

They did have that cushion in navy but it looks like they only have the green now online. I did see the green one in store and it's good quality. Not like the cheaper version Tesco recently had.

There’s a Christmas M&S programme on channel 5 at 9. Think I’ll record it and watch it after the jungle.

Not sure if this is the best place for present queries but does anyone know what the “in” make up brand is for teens? I’m buying for my friends who is 13 and I want to get her something that she’ll like. I’ve also text my friend but she’s not being the most helpful and just keeps saying “any makeup”.

Anyone with daughters/nieces/granddaughters etc with any ideas? Would be really appreciated 💕

It depends really. I'm sure some teenagers use the cheaper brands but I imagine they all want the expensive adult brands! Boots has 25% off most make up ranges until 3rd December. Kylie (Jenner) makeup is popular. They do a nice lip butter which is like tinted lip balm. On offer for £11 ish.

Revolution would be a good brand, they do some nice gift sets that aren't too pricey, and has pretty packaging. If you're spending a bit more then Kylie cosmetics seems quite teen orientated

Benefit is nice for teens and cute gift sets. If looking for cheaper I would say NYX. Hope that helps.

This was on in the background the other day. Zara dupe sounded interesting and the blusher dupe. Can't remember the rest but more info in the comments.

Hi all!

Been watching for a while but had to post this. Last year I used Royal Mail for my little girls letter to Santa. It was so cute and even came back personalised with her name and writing about what she wanted (she was only 9 months at the time! Haha). They are doing it again this year and I am so excited to sit with her and write her letter. She keeps pointing out Santa, Reindeer, Snowmen and of course we have our tree up already so is loving all the lights. The magic is well and truely underway! I have put the link below to Royal Mail for anyone that wants to have a look. Hope that helps ❤✉🎅

They were nice but I just don't think they're worth the price seeing as they more expensive and you only get 4 instead of the other Starbucks sachet packs that have 5. I'm glad I picked them up on nectar price instead of paying the full price 😅

The cinnamon dolce Starbucks sachets are the best ones imo! I'm happy Sainsbury's brought the price of them down to £1.50. I used to wait until they were on nectar offer at that price and stock up!
Yeah, I don't normally buy those sachets, but those ones caught my eye while doing some shopping and thought I'd give them a try. They aren't particularly cheap, that's for sure. I may have to give those cinnamon dolce ones a try and report back, haha.

Ahh, I wasn’t expecting so many replies! Thanks everyone. Definitely a few brands to take a look at then. 💕

Any ideas for a crafty mum who likes reading? Ideally a one “main” present as my dad has a Lego set and I don’t know, I want them both to have the same amount to open 😂 She has a kindle and I bought her a velvetiser last year so I’m hitting a wall
My mum likes reading so I’ve ordered this for her - you fill in all the details about the ‘author’ (in this case my mum) and answer the questions about their likes and hobbies and any funny stories, then AI writes the book for them.
You get a list of what the chapters are but no idea what the actual book will be like.
Haven’t received the order yet so I’m hoping it’s legit 🤣 but thought it would be a nice funny present for her to have a read through.

I’ve got my first Christmas market tomorrow! I’ve ended up signing up to a few, two this weekend and one in a couple of weeks. Been so nice sitting crafting and watching cheesy Christmas films. I’ve got a Christmassy top to wear and a Christmas headband and earrings 🤣🎄

Argh was feeling very smug that we've almost finished started wrapping Monday and my oldest is off school with chicken pox so I feel like all the effort is gone and if not youngest gets it that's so much wrapping time lost 😔
