It's finally the best time of the year, Christmas lights are filling the streets; people are starting to buy gifts for their loved ones; it's slowly becoming more and more acceptable to listen to Christmas music; and it is well and truly sweater weather.
Usually I am the kind of person who is utterly useless when it comes to Christmas shopping, however this year I made it my mission to be much more prepared than usual. After spending what seemed like hours on end scanning countless websites and shops for gift ideas I have complied quite a lengthy list of gift ideas for this seasonal period.
Over the next few days I'm going to be putting them into a mini-series of blog posts to help make your Christmas shopping that little bit easier! This post is about gifts that are mainly aimed towards females and are all £10 or under, that I believe would work well as a secret santa gift, little stocking fillers or even as a mini hamper with a few things compiled together.
For any girl who loves cute things this mini button mirror is an absolute winner. You can find so so many of them in various places but I loved how cute and simple this one was. It is priced at £4 and you can get it at notonthehighstreet.com or simply by clicking on this link here! The site has a wide range of button mirrors and all of them are incredibly cute and incredibly affordable. This could be a lovely little present on its own or could be paired with a little lip balm/gloss as a combination present that is both affordable and thoughtful.
Perfect for using in your handbag as a way of storing everything you usually reach for without having to rummage this holographic pouch retails at £10. It looks like something that Urban Outfitters would sell for at least £20 and they are some of the most useful things to have. Coming in a range of colours means that you are able to pick the one that best suits the person you are buying for, and with them being so affordable why not pick one up for yourself too while you're at it? If you have a higher budget than the £10 one mentioned in this post, perhaps even think about filling it with some of the other items I suggest as a pick and mix kind of gift. You can get the pouches from here!
Know someone who loves sleep or just collecting pins to put on their denim jackets/clothing/bags? This pin is perfect for them and though it is quite pricey at £6 for how small it is, the detail of it makes up for it completely in my eyes anyway
Who doesn't need a reminder how much of a boss lady they are every now and then? This coaster is so so cute and such a lovely gift to give someone, you can even get a little message engraved into the bottom of it too which I think is such a lovely little touch. For £8.99 this is certainly on the higher end of gifts for this section, however as a gift for a mum while on a budget (or even just a boss ass friend) this would be so lovely as it looks to be something that would for sure cost more than £8.99! You can grab it here.
For the lover of prosecco (or any other beverage to be honest) there is a lip balm that exists. The sweet smelling lip balm has the cutest packaging and would work perfectly as a little Christmas gift! You can grab this for £6.95 here, making this novelty gift super affordable.
If you know someone who likes a different kind of beverage, such as gin and tonic or pina coladas then there are a wide range of different items too, including bath bombs and candles at varying prices!
Lord knows, I'm the worst for buying things that have pretty packaging but these bath salts are so so cute and so affordable too! They look so high end and cost under £4 which is such a great price in my opinion. The company does a range of different scents but I love anything floral which is why I've picked out this one! If you want to have a look at the other options then just click here and if you want this one then click here.
If you're on a mega budget or just wanted something else to add to the gift you have already got someone and know they love stationary (though let's be real, who doesn't love stationary?) then these little paperclips are perfect. They're cheapest thing on this list by far at £2.95 they come in all letters of the alphabet and are a perfect little gift, click here to grab yourself or someone else some!
As always, Lush are killing it with their Christmas gift range and the Golden Wonder bath bomb is back yet again in all it's glory. This is my favourite of all of their festive things, probably because of the fact it's a glittery bath bomb which leaves your bath as golden and shimmering as every bath ever should be (which is very). Bath bombs are great gifts as long as you know the person actually likes them, have a look at the whole of the Lush range as it's full of gems like this one, and click here to go straight to this one for £4.50 or just as a shortcut to the Lush site.
Know someone who loves having cute things in their room/house? This peg board is perfect for them (and also soooo instagram worthy which is a plus in my books). You could give as a gift with a phrase/quote/message on it already or leave it for them to do themselves. As Urban Outfitters and other places seem to sell these for rather high prices finding this online at Superdrug for £8 was such a steal and I thought I would share it with you guys, click here to pick one up.
Urban Outfitters are the absolute best for kitschy notebooks and stationary and while they do have quite a lot of overpriced stuff I love some of the notebooks that they have at the moment! They are selling at £10 each and while this is just one example of them they are also selling Harry Styles, Taylor Swift and Beyonce ones too - making them the perfect gift for any music lover. Click here to pick up this one or have a look on the site/in store for even more cool items!
Right, okay I lied when I said the paperclips were the cheapest thing. There's these face masks too, for £1.50 you can begin to make a perfect beauty hamper. Put in a Lush bath bomb and a couple of these alongside the prosecco bath bomb and bish bash bosh there you have a well thought out and pretty gift! Grab yourself and a friend some of these masks here.
And that concludes my first post in this mini-series of gift guides for Christmas, check back tomorrow for another post filled with even more gift ideas!
