Hey guys! Welcome to the first day of Blogmas! Here's hoping this year I can actually stick to it and complete it :P I'm gonna keep the posts short so hopefully that'll help :P For my first I'm gonna post a few ideas for stocking fillers for her! Some cheap and cheerful gifts that are always fun to get! When I think of stocking fillers, I think of fun novelty gifts so that's what this post is all about!
Seeing as I have already done a luxury gift guide for her, I thought it'd only be fair to do one for him too. Here are a couple of ideas I have if you're looking to splurge on your guy this Christmas!
So for Kris Kringle/Secret Santa, you could include gifts that I've already mentioned in my stocking filler gift guides for her. Those are smaller ideas so I thought I'd put together a post focusing on just Kris Kringle gift ideas.
For today's blogmas post, I have put together a few of my fav luxury gift ideas. These are just a few ideas of what I personally think are a great luxury gift.
1. Perfume - Perfume can be cheap or expensive. I usually prefer cheaper scents for every day wear but recently I found the Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir scent absolutely amazing. It is expensive at €109 for 100mls but it lasts ages and I love the scent.
2. LanaiBlo Hairdryer - This hairdryer looks absolutely amazing even if it is €100. I've seen videos of people using it and the results are unbelievable. It makes your hair silky smooth and frizz free in only a few minutes. I have really frizzy and wavy/curly thick hair so this would be ideal for me. They also do a really cute personalised version that you can get someone's name on it. I personally love this - I'll take the white one please!
3. StylPro - This may not seem like much of a luxury gift but at €65 from Meaghar's Pharmacy, it isn't exactly the cheapest. I bought one of these make up brush cleaners a few months ago and honestly wouldn't be without it. It cleans and dries your brushes within seconds. And the best thing is it actually works. You can see how I use it in a video here.
4. A trip away. Who doesn't enjoy travelling? Whether it's a trip abroad or a trip to a luxury hotel in Ireland, who can complain?
For my first day of blogmas, I've decided to put together a post on ideas for stocking fillers for that female in your life! We always got chocolate, stationery and make up in ours! What did you get in yours?
1. Phone Case - A phone case is a great idea for a stocking and can be catered for all budgets. I buy all of mine, like this one from eBay as they're so cheap. Just be careful if it's being shipped from Asia as they'll take a few weeks and may not arrive before Christmas. If you're looking to splurge on a phone case then an Otterbox is the way to go.
2. Sweets / Chocolate - These chocolate coins from Aunty Nellie's Sweet Shop are a very cheap stocking filler. I always remember getting these in my stocking when I was younger so I think they're the perfect addition to anyone's stocking.
3. Bath Bombs - Dealz have very cute cheap bath bomb sets at the moment but in my opinion, you can't beat Lush! They usually only cost about €5 and the quality and scent are great.
4. Make Up Brushes - This is another thing where you can save or splurge (without reducing the quality). I have a few of the Make Up Revolution brushes which I love, especially the eye brushes. They're super cheap and have lovely gift sets too. Another brand I love which are more expensive than the Make Up Revolution ones but still very affordable are Real Techniques. These are my every day make up brushes and I wouldn't be without them.
5. Lipsticks - You can't go wrong with throwing a lipstick into a stocking. Again it's a great product and can be adjusted to your budget. If you're after a high end brand, I love Mac's Viva Glam II. For a budget brand, my go to lipstick is NYX Thalia.
6. Hat - I love bobble hats and they can be a great gift idea. I love the ones from Custom Vintage Dublin but Penneys do gorgeous cheaper alternatives.
That's just a few of my ideas! Stay tuned for stocking fillers for him which will be up tomorrow.
We're also doing Vlogmas (vlogging every day until Christmas). You can see our first video below.
