Winter Must Haves!

Alreet m'dears!

I am back again and ready to show you some of my must have autumn/winter items for 2014. Please feel free to comment below any recommendations you may have, as I love getting other peoples opinions.

  • Yankee Candles: I love candles. I can't get enough of them. Yankee candles are by far the best ones on the high street and although they are not the cheapest, they are excellent quality and last for ages. My current favourite is the Vanilla Lime scent. I bought this for my mum about 2 years ago and she still has half of the jar left. I love visiting her house, mainly because I get to smell this deliciousness! Anyway, I have selected a few candles that I would love to try out, including: Black Cherry - 'the absolutely delicious sweetness of rich, ripe black cherries'; Cinnamon Appleberry - 'the welcoming aroma of tart apples and sugary berries laced with cinnamon' and Christmas Eve - 'traditional Christmas scents of a warm hearth, sugared plums, and candied fruits'. I love anything cinnamon-y and sweet, rich scents always remind me of Christmas, so I feel these candles would be perfect for making the house cosy and inviting. Check out the Yankee Candle website to see their massive selection of candles and gift sets.
Look how pretty they are!

  • Cushions: Cushions are a must have during the winter. They give you something to snuggle into during the cold evenings and they look super duper pretty as well. Zazzle have some amazing cushions, some of which you can personalize which is pretty cool. They tend to be on the pricey side, but I definitely think they are with the price tag, especially for some of the more vintage designs. Below are some of my favorites:


Yes, I am a bit soppy!

  • Hot Water Bottle Covers: This is a bit of a random one, but every year I say I am going to invest in a hot water bottle and I never do. I really need one, because I am always really really cold but I think they are so ugly, so I can never settle on one I like! I have now sorted this problem however, and I may have to splash out and treat myself to one of the amazing hot water bottles from Not On The High Street. They have sme really simple designs and some really funky, bright designs; perfect for any house. Not only are the useful, but they are extremely attractive and would really spruce up a dull room. A couple of my favourites are:

Bit of a contrast I know!

  • Big Mugs: I don't know about you, but one of the best things about the colder weather is being able to drink as much hot chocolate as possible, and obviously you need the biggest mug to drink it from! After having a look around on the high street and online, I found that once again, Zazzle had one of the best collections of mugs. My personal favourite is this one: 

I love cats and hot chocolate...PERFECT

What do you guys think? Anything you can recommend?

Winter Goodies Part 2!

Aloha!


Time for part 2 of winter fabulous-ness! 

I have been on the hunt for more amazing gift ideas, and these are  a couple of the ones I have come up with:

  • Artbox! I will tell everyone now, I LOVE this website. I had never heard of it up until a year ago but now I am totally hooked. Anyway, this website has just about everything you could want on it. The main draw for me was the amount of Moomin merchandise they have. I bloody love the Moomins :D. Artbox has all sorts; toys, stationary, clothing, cosmetics, bags and other similar things.  The reason why I have added this website to my list is because I think it is great for gifts, especially gifts for children or people that really like novelty presents. One of my personal favourite items is the Owl Natural Lip Gloss with a minty chocolate fragrance for only £3.29. I know what I am asking my boyfriend for at Christmas!


  • Perfume! I think every Christmas I obtain a new perfume, which if I am honest, I won't complain about! At the moment, The Perfume Shop has a 50% off deal on selected products, so I thought it was worth a gander! For men, one of my personal favourites has to be the Calvin Klein CK Free fragrance. My boyfriend has owned this previously and I love the smell on him. It has quite a woody undertone with hints of berries and citrus fruits which I adore. It can also be worn for all occasions as it isn't too overpowering. For women, I would choose Beckham Signature. My mum owns this perfume, and whenever I am at her house I always pinch some! It has a gorgeous scent, really fruity with hints of vanilla, apple and musk. I think it is a perfect day time perfume for all ages, plus the bottle is really simple and cute.

Thats all for now folks. Have a great week and I hope to hear from you soon! 
Let me know what you think!
