Following on from my previous blog post in which I suggested several beauty gifts that you could get for your friends I thought it would be a good idea for me to create a post of ideas for those people who perhaps aren't too interested in beauty or just give further suggestions. This is going to be aimed at low budget again as I feel like a lot of people seemed to ask for that on twitter, if you want your say in anything blog related then be sure to follow me on there (@wwanderstruck).



One of the first things that I have thought of is one of the mindfulness colouring books, these are available to buy from about £3-£8 depending where you pick them up, I recommend Sainsburys as they are super cheap there and you can often get then in a deal. If you paired this up with a pack of fineliner pens it would look like such a thoughtful gift and you can actually pick up a pack of 10 for £5 in Sainsburys while you're at it! These books are such great quality and I've recently noticed that they've started to sell a Harry Potter themed one so if your friend is into that brand then it might be a cute idea to get  them that one! WhSmith are also doing a deal where you can get a colouring book and fineliners for £14 so have a look around and have a think about which ones your friend would appreciate.




Another idea is that if they are a fan of a certain thing (whether it be a band or tv show) you could get them something that is related to the topic, for example I am getting one of my friends the new 5 Seconds of Summer album as she really likes the band and hasn't got it yet! If you didn't want to get a CD then there are websites such as etsy which sell such cute fanmade merch that is super cool and is usually pretty cheap to pick up.





Cute room decor is always an option too! New Look are the apple of my eye at the moment for this, I have spent way too much money on things that I arguably really don't need purely because they look super pretty! Something like a really pretty photoframe from there that has a photo of the two of you in paired with a candle looks like something that perhaps would have taken a lot of effort and in general looks really well put together. However, be careful with candles that you're actually getting a scent that they like as this could end up a little awkwardly, but it's not hard to find out about what scents they like!



Something that would be super lovely and would come across as so thoughtful is to find a really lovely mug and fill it with a collection of cute things. I recommend the Cath Kidston ones as they are about £5 and so big, such good value for money. A suggestion of things to put inside it could be hot chocolate sachets with a few mini marshmallows, some socks, nail polish, stationary, anything really!







That's it for this blog post, I hope these ideas helped you think of a few ideas for people!

In case you didn't already know, Christmas is fast approaching and that means having to buy gifts for people. Some people are more organised than others when it comes to doing this, I for one have had most of my Christmas shopping complete since October, and some people struggle when it comes to selecting gifts for people. This year is my first Christmas where I have a job and therefore I went a little over the top with everything that I decided to pick up for friends and family, however today I'm going to be suggesting a few lower budget things that would work perfectly either on their own or complied into a really cute hamper style gift.

If you know your friends really like makeup then that is always a great thing to grab, both Superdrug and Boots are doing super good deals at the moment on their gifts. Boots is doing a 3 for 2 and I think Superdrug is too so you can always pick up a good selection of things for such great prices.

Boots wise I have picked up a few of their Ted Baker little body soufflé's which are available in a mint green shade or a rose pink and are £4 each, so I picked up three and with the deals they had going on I managed to get them for £8. These paired with something like a cute pair of frilly socks and a bar of chocolate would look super cute, however if you're super low budget then this would look awesome on its own too!






Another thing that I love which are on the slightly higher end of the low budget are the little gift sets that Boots sell, I have picked up several of these for certain people and one of my favourites is the Soap and Glory 'Glam-o-flage' it's such a great gift if you're willing to spend a little more. This set is £20 and consists of their Supercat eyeliner which, may I add, is one of my favourite eyeliners of all time! I also picked up some cute bath/pamper product gift sets, one of the cutest that I grabbed was the Laura Ashley Mini Indulgence gift set for £10. This has four absolutely adorable mini pamper products that appear to be so high end and are presented so beautifully. This would work perfectly for both mums and friends!










If your friends like YouTube then a Tanya Burr kit would be an ideal little gift that you can then pair with things such as their favourite candy or a cute pair of socks. Both her eye kits and her little Christmas nail kits are so cute and look as though you have put so much thought into them! I would recommend the Fairytale eye shadow palette and the nail set in Toasted Marshmallow which is such a pretty nude pink shade and is something that I would definitely wear on a regular basis!







Stay tuned this upcoming week for more low budget posts!
