#3 Christmas gift guide! ...

Hey guys, so today I'm going to be giving you a few ideas for gifts and what to get/make your friends and family. Let's get started... 



This type of gift is is you want to give a person something without spend a lot of money, if yo gift wrap it and put a ribbon around it makes it look like you've put more effort in. You could also buy a jar and fill it with there favorite sweets. This is just a very in expensive way of showing your appreciation towards a person.



The next item is beauty products, I got mini Soap and Glory products for each of my friends and in Boots (the shop I got them from) they had an offer of 3 for 2 so it was cheaper. Beauty products are a nice gift to give you friends especially if there girly girls and love that type of thing. If you know there favorite type of product or brand or scent then you should probably get them that, it would make it a little more personal because they know that you know their favorite beauty product. If you didn't want to buy them any body beauty product you could go for make up instead if your friends wear make up. Again gift wrapping can make it look super pretty and Christmassy so I'd advise gift wrapping everything.... I did :)


Another idea I came up with was a personalized t shirt. This is for the people who like to make very personal gifts and like to make things, like me. I much prefer giving my close friends and family gifts they want or mean something because it shows you care about them and you put more effort in to their present than just going to the shop and buying something you see (there's nothing wrong with that though don't get me wrong!) I was really stuck with what to get my friend and so I took to Youtube and searched for DIY gift ideas which really helped.



The last thing on my list is making a soft plushie, my friend asked me to make her a stitch from the film Lilo and Stitch so I attempted to do just that. It's not bad for a first attempt. I am going to be putting up a tutorial in the next few days of how to make this if you are interested. But yeah you could make their favourite Disney character or food/drink anything, this again is quite personal and can mean a lot. Also they are very cute! 

One more thing you could do which I haven't included but have done for one of my friends is buy a personalized phone case, I got mine from Mr Nutcase which cost around £15 so it's a little pricey for those on a low budget but the quality is very good! 

That's all for now thanks for reading and I hope this helps! :) bye x
