Cristy Jade Lydia: A very Girly Christmas Gift Guide...

Hello everyone,

I honestly can not believe its time for Christmas posts again, I am so so excited and can not wait to share with you all some festive posts. Today I am sharing with you some gift ideas for Mum, Nans, Sisters and friends at a range of different prices as I know some enjoy a bit of Luxury and affordable items. I personally stick to a tight budget when I am buying Christmas gifts for the family, as I have quite a few to buy for, However, if you enjoy splurging a little then this gift guide will be great for you. I have also included some affordable pieces from Jewellery Box, they have such amazing quality jewellery for such great prices. So I really hope you enjoy and I hope the post helps you out on your gift purchases this Christmas...

1. Something Sparkly yet affordable

I recently discovered this amazing jewellery brand for affordable jewellery pieces and they kindly allowed me to chose a couple of things, which I am forever gatefold for. I received some of their pieces back in the summer and wrote a blog post dedicated to their pieces, which you can read here. I love that you can get such beautiful, high quality pieces of jewellery for such an affordable price. I kindly received this amazing heart bracelet, a cross over ring and an initial necklace. I think that the initial necklace would make a great gift for someone who loves small, dainty jewellery pieces and makes it extra special being personalised. The bracelet is another great gift idea as it goes with absolutely everything and you could even pair this with other coloured jewellery and it still looks amazing! I also love the little box it comes in and also saves on the wrapping time of your gifts.

2. Something sparkly and luxurious

I absolutely love Pandora, and I think its the best place to go for a luxurious gift for someone. They offer so many amazing jewellery pieces, from bracelets and necklaces to charms and rings. I think the packaging also gives it such a lovely touch as again, there is no need for wrapping. If you take a look in the catalogue, you can find some great things that are actually not badly priced. I would highly recommend one of the charm bracelets. The one I have here is the bracelet with the pull tie, now I love this one because you can wear it with or without the charms and it makes your outfit look so much more put together and as though you have made an effort. At just £55, I think this would make the perfect gift.

3. A Stocking filler sized Beauty Product

Another great gift or stocking filler intact, would be a miniature beauty product. When I went to Venice, I went to Sephora for the first time and picked out this little miniature Nars Duo. Its great because it allows you to try out the product and see if you like it (which I'm sure they will) and also only costs around £20. For such a luxurious product, I'm sure anyone would love to receive this to add to their make up collection. I believe Space Nk, John Lewis and Selfridges do amazing miniature luxury make up items too.

4. A set of silk Pyjamas

I think this one is a given at Christmas time, I think everyone and their dogs mum has a new pair of pyjamas at Christmas. Silk pj's are always a great idea because they have that luxurious feel and you can get these for such affordable prices too. They also look absolutely adorable and the most comfiest things to sleep in ever. If you are looking for an affordable pair, I believe Shein.com do some for just under £20 and for that luxury pair, you could always take a trip down to Victoria Secret if you really want to treat someone.

5. A pair of cosy slippers

Now some may find this one a little boring, but personally I love a nice pair of cosy slippers. These ones from New Look are so cosy and I love the fact they are pink and fluffy. A really nice pair of slippers would be great for anyone but especially for Nan, I know my Nanny would absolutely love a cosy pair of slippers. You could even take a look in The White Company if you are looking for that really special pair.

6. A new perfume or body scent

I think a great gift for someone perhaps a little younger would be a body spray. Victoria Secret do so many different scents that everyone would love and for a great price too. I purchased mine in Venice, so was a little cheaper but you can always find some great deals on them. Even a Victoria Secret Perfume would be great for someone who is a big fan of Victoria Secret. Some of their fashion show merchandise range would be another great gift...
