Mega Christmas Gift Guide

Christmas is one of my absolute favorite times of the year I love the cosy fires, mulled wine and the smell of lovely Christmas candles! Of course the gifts are a massive part of the attraction. Its very exciting to know that you have a pretty good chance of receiving stuff that has been sitting on your wishlist all year. Another thing I love about Christmas is Gift Guides, I love to look at all the pictures and get ideas for gifts that I can give to all of the different people in my life.

This Gift Guide will like my blog be mostly beauty gifts but It does include some jewelry and housewares too. Like an Advent Calendar this guide has 24 gifts. Every Gift on the list is under €100. Its pretty much a reflection of what I want mixed with what I want to give :) I hope you all enjoy reading It and that It inspires you and makes your gift choosing easier. Let me know in the comments If you find some gifts you love. 

Some of the Items I have in the Guide were PR samples so I have stuck on a little * beside them. 

The currency conversions were accurate at the time of writing.

I have filled it up with makeup, jewelry, body care, brushes ect mostly in mini sizes but I have thrown in samples of nice things like glamglow and dermalogica. You can make this advent calendar as cheap or as expensive as you like. My plan is to buy lots to fill it with and get somebody else to fill it so I get a surprise not knowing whats i will get each day!
