I’m a huge fan of the Christmas gift guides that some magazines print in their December editions, I love looking through them and getting inspired!
This year my parents have said that they would like to just give me some spending money for Christmas and then just get a couple of surprises to open on Christmas day. I think this is a good idea as I can get some things I want and give them to the Hubby to keep for me until Christmas morning.
So I thought it would be fun to do my own little Christmas gift guide! These are the things I’m thinking about getting for myself, I also think these would make lovely gifts for others too.
Foodie Goodies
Obviously I love my foodie treats! My wish list includes flavoured coffees, Teapigs tea and matcha powder, my favourite violet and rose cream chocolates, raw chocolate and crackers and of course, a cook book is always welcome!

Gorgeous girly treats
Don’t ask me why but I’m a sucker for animal jewellery – combine that with some bling and I’m sold. I also love beautiful vintage style underware. I may not be able to stretch to Agent Provocateur just yet, but luckily the high street have some pretty good versions. Slippers are a must at Christmas and a pretty purse is ideal for stashing my January sales money away!

Love your list! I’d be happy to get all of those, especially that raw chocolate!
Loving your list. I think I am the same as you foodie treats, running gear and pampering pressies. I have tried cleanse and polish before. It’s divine. By the way they have great deals on this on QVC!

You can’t beat a Christmassy Lush bath!
That undershirt looks great, I must confess to not having run at all since this weather dropped colder – one of those might get me out again!
I love your blog Laura, have tried a couple of your recipes and they were delicious. Very inspiring x
The ring is SO cute! And all the other goodies! Great picks.
Thanks for sharing this!
