  • Festive Fortnight | Secret Santa presents for under £5

    Not long till Christmas and I’m sure there are some of you still struggling coming up with ideas for those elusive Secret Santa presents! It can be tough sticking to a budget, but just because you only have £5 to spend doesn’t mean you can’t get creative ;) I’ve done a bit of the leg work for you and come up with a set of 10 gift ideas for you…

    Instagram 30-12-12– Caramelatte Nero catch up with friends – …and Bucks Fizz after Christmas Eve mass – Christmasssss – My presents :) – Me & le sis in our onsies – So jealous of my sister’s Christmas present – The mug I got my dad – Cocktails at 11am? Yeah ok – Catching up on much needed Lego Harry Potter time with my sister – Started Catcher in the Rye – Surprised with just how far Blogger’s Bookshelf has come in the past few months! – Pretty much summing up my whole Christmas week…lazing around in my pjs –

    Just a quick one this week (as I literally have to leave the house in a bit). I hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas! I certainly have enjoyed a week of rest and relaxation – when I’ve not been working my retail job at least lol. I got some lovely Christmas presents this year from the fam, my favourite being a lovely little bottle of Burberry ‘Weekend’ from my parents – which I’ll probably review at some point. There’s been lots of much needed catch ups with friends over the past few weeks as well as the dawning realisation that I really need to sort my life out. I’m determined to make the most of 2013, after planning stuff in my new diary it’s looking like a busy one already but lots to look forward to!

    Keep on wishing…

    Busy ol’ end of the week and jumping right into Christmas! I hope you’re all ready and wrapped now – if not what are you doing reading my blog go finish your festive prep! I’ve been in a very holiday-y type mood since last week getting an incredible Christmas hamper from my placement, Secret Santa and office decorations, my fancy, fancy work Christmas do’ and meet ups in the lovely German Market in Southampton with some amazing old school friends (including the lovely blogging Hannah from Roxie Roulette!)
    For the first time in my life I’m actually ready and set present-wise and organised for catch up and meet ups this year. How crazy is that right? I’m set for another hectic week, but am determined to get organised blog/computer-wise before the start of the new year (which is next week! Yikes!) 

    Speaking of blogging, my 2nd birthday/100 followers LauraLoves boutique giveaway finished yesterday! My winner was the lovely Rachael who’ll be recieving a gorgeous embroidered pendant :)

    As it’s Christmas Eve, I just want to wish every single one of you a Merry Christmas! I will be sitting in a food coma till Doctor Who at 5pm with my Baileys and chocolate gift boxes with the fam :) hope you all will too ;)
    Keep on wishing…
