My Christmas List 2022

It's that time of the year when I like to share a Christmas List of the things I'd love to find under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning.

It's a wish list I've put together just for fun, and isn't something I plan to flash in people's faces, demanding they buy me things from it. I might steer people in its direction if they ask for ideas, but mostly, it's just a fun wish list showing what I'd love Santa to bring me, that might also provide present ideas for yourself and your loved ones.

This year, it took me a while to compile a wish list, as aside from books and a few brooches, I couldn't think of many things that I was lusting after. I mostly just want a big stack of beautiful books, Loungefly backpacks, and Erstwilder brooches this year, but personally, I think that makes for a quality wish list.

I'll let you be the judge of that, though. Check it out for yourselves.


1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 // 11 // 12 // 13 // 14 // 15 // 16 // 17 // 18 // 19 // 20 // 21 // 22 // 23 // 24

1. This faux leather celestial reading planner from Owlcrate is the prettiest reading planner I've ever seen.
2. I love this Maverick Macaw brooch from the Erstwilder x Pete Cromer Wildlife collection.
3. This Twisted Wunder star print maxi dress from Simply Be looks stunning.
4. I really want to read the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, and the collector's edition of the first book is so beautiful. Just look at it!
5. The collector's edition of Throne of Glass is another beauty I need in my collection, and another book series I want to try.
6. How cute are these Erstwilder toadstool earrings?!
7. It's been years since I last owned some Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat, or my favourite YSL blur primer, so I definitely wouldn't object to finding this lovely YSL make up set under the tree this year.
8. I love the detail to the Erstwilder x Pete Cromer Tranquil Tiger brooch.
9. I haven't read the first book in the series yet, but the Owlcrate edition of When Night Breaks by Janella Angeles needs to come live with me. 
10. I'm kicking myself for only just discovering Fairyloot, as this edition of The Ballad of Never After is seriously beautiful, with sprayed stencilled edges, a reversible dust jacket, and the loveliest end paper art of Jacks and Evangeline... and it's now sold out. I'm still including it here, as it's a wish list, and I'd be thrilled if a Christmas miracle happened, and I found this under the tree on Christmas morning. If you have a copy and don't want it, send it my way! 
11. Alice in Wonderland has always been one of my favourite Disney films, and this Painting the Roses Red backpack from Loungefly is incredible.
12. I desperately need a new camera as I dropped and broke mine this autumn, and am stuck using a grainy old point and shoot that's 10+ years old. I won't get one for Christmas, as they're too expensive, but this Canon DSLR seems like a pretty good deal for a starter DLSR.
13. This red panda brooch from Erstwilder has been on my wish list half the year, so I'd be a happy little panda if I got one for Christmas.
14. Loungefly always make the best bags, and their Robin Hood book convertible backpack is one of the best bags in the history of bags. I love that the inside is like a storybook with scenes from the film, and includes Maid Marian and Lady Kluck playing badminton!
15. I definitely do not need any more eyeshadow palettes, but oh, this Too Faced Yummy Bear palette is dreamy. Maybe I could find room for just one more?
16. I already own a Loungefly Robin Hood backpack, but holy crap, the new Prince John Carriage mini backpack looks amazing, and I need it in my life.
17. I love the look of the Owlcrate edition of Book of Night by Holly Black. I'm currently addicted to The Folk of the Air series (I've almost finished The Wicked King), so I'd love to try some of her other books once I'm done with all the others.
18. There's something so charming about this Erstwilder X Pete Cromer Orderly Orangutan Brooch. Her little face is too cute.
19. The Hell Bunny Love Cats mini dress is so fun, and colourful. It covers a good range of sizes, too, from an XS up to a 6XL!
20. I don't need another copy of Caraval, but I'll admit, the gold foil 5th anniversary edition sure is tempting me.
21. I'd love to journal through Leigh Bardugo's gorgeous Grishaverse companion journal, The Severed Moon, in 2023. It looks wonderful.
22. I adored My Little Pony when I was little and owned several of them, so I can't help coveting the piece of pastel perfection that is the Loungefly My Little Pony mini backpack. It's an eighties'/ nineties' child's dream.
23. Two books in, and I'm totally obsessed with The Folk of the Air, so I can't wait to read How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories. Though, I have a feeling I'll want to buy this one for myself before Christmas, just as soon as I've read The Queen of Nothing.
24. Everyone seems to be playing Disney Dreamlight Valley at the moment, and I'd love to jump on the bandwagon. It only seems to be available to download, and not as a cartridge, though, so I'll probably have to buy this one myself, too.

And those are some of the things on my Christmas list this year.

If you'd like to see what else made it on to my Christmas list, perhaps to get some present ideas or to find some new books to read, you can find my wish list board on Pinterest here.

My Christmas List 2021

I've had a few family members ask me for Christmas present ideas lately, and I didn't know what to tell them.

I realised there isn't anything I'm desperate to find under the tree this year, and it took me weeks to put together a wish list board on Pinterest to give them a few ideas. I guess I must be growing up, because Christmas is more about enjoying the festivities and delicious food with my family and friends, then it is the presents these days. I mean, receiving presents is lovely, but I don't need a stack of presents to have a great Christmas. 

That being said, I have been coveting some lovely little things over the last few months, and now that I remember what they are, I thought I'd show you what's on my Christmas List today. It something I like to do every year, just for fun, and to hopefully give you guys some last minute Christmas present inspiration. So, let's get started...


1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 // 11 // 12 // 13 // 14 // 15 // 16 // 17 // 18 // 19 // 20 // 21 // 22 // 23 // 24 // 25 // 26 // 27 // 28

1. The Zatchels Sugarcube bags are the best little day bags, and I'd love to add one in red to my bag collection.
2. The Rocket's Riot Racoon brooch from Erstwilder's 10th anniversary collection is so adorable.
3. I really want this Xmas polka dot Lyra dress from Lady Vintage to wear on Christmas Day.
4. Even though I wouldn't use it until the summer, I really want the Vendula London Seaside Souvenirs clipper coin purse so I can use it with my matching backpack. I have one in another design, and they're great little coin purses.
5. The Erstwilder Duck, Duck, Splash! brooch has been on my wish list for over a year, but it's so adorable that I still live in hope of adding it to my collection one day. Just look at that little duck in his yellow raincoat!
6. The King of Christmas parrot brooch from Erstwilder is so beautiful.
7. I have a feeling I'd wear these glitter resin heart earrings from Erstwilder until they literally fall apart from over-use.
8. This Roses are Red rose brooch from Erstwilder's Cute & Spooky by Mimsy collection would be a welcome addition to my brooch collection.
9. Look how beautiful the Emma Bridgewater heart print digital radio is! I'm in love! My Cath Kidston speakers broke a while back, so this would make a wonderful replacement.
10. How cute is the Loungefly Disney Cats wallet?! I love that it even has Dinah on it!
11. I'd love to try Too Faced's Better Than Sex waterproof mascara. The original version makes my lashes look amazing, but I prefer using waterproof mascaras as they don't run when I get too hot from my Fibromyalgia. I want to find out if the waterproof version is just as good.
12. The Body Shop's new seasonal ranges sound amazing, so I'd be thrilled to receive the Kindness & Pears Essentials Gift set so I could try a few products.
13. I don't know what it is about them, but the Jellycat Amuseables really make me smile, and I'm a little bit smitten with the sweet little Amuseable Acorn.
14. I've also fallen for the Amuseable Boiled Eggs. I got my little sister one with a sad little face a few months ago, and it made us laugh. I'd particularly love the blushing one, but it seems to be sold out everywhere online.
15. I don't need any more make up palettes, but holy crap, the Too Faced Christmas in the City set looks incredible. Their Christmas sets are always so good.
16. This classic plain red Lyra dress from Lady Vintage is gorgeous. I almost always gravitate towards patterned dresses, for some reason, so it would be great to mix things up, and try a plain block-colour dress for a change.
17. The Chippy Caper seagull brooch from Erstwilder would be perfect for wearing on future holidays to Cornwall, or day trips to the seaside.
18. I need these mottled-blue resin heart earrings from Erstwilder in my life.
19. The Too Faced Christmas in London set looks dreamy.
20. I'm still addicted to Animal Crossing, and have always loved a good game of Monopoly, so I really need Animal Crossing Monopoly in my life.
21. I love a dark red dress for autumn / winter, and the wine Lady Vintage Lyra dress is stunning. 
22. I'd love some new books to read in the New Year, and The Shadow in the Glass by JJA Harwood has been on my wishlist for a while.
23. Broadcast by Liam Brown sounds really intriguing. I recently read one of his books for the first time- Skin- and loved it, so I'm hoping his other books will be just as good.
24. This hardback edition of Witch by Finbar Hawkins is beautiful, and it sounds like an interesting read, too.
25. I haven't done a jigsaw in about 25 years, but this Animal Crossing jigsaw makes me want to step up to the challenge again.
26. The YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer is the best primer I've ever tried. I'd love a new bottle to replace the one I used up forever ago.
27. I really love this Enchanting Emu brooch from Erstwilder and Pete Cromer.
28. And I'm still dying to get my hands on the Vendula London Flower Shop Backpack. I can't find it anywhere online in the UK, though, so I doubt I'll be finding this under the tree this Christmas. Maybe I'll have to save up and buy it from Australia.

And those are some of the things on this year's Christmas List.

There are more items on my Pinterest Christmas List board that didn't make it in to the post, which you can see here, if you'd like more inspiration.

My Christmas List 2020

As it's almost Christmas, this week, I thought I'd share my Christmas list in place of an ordinary Wednesday Wish List post.

I haven't actually compiled a Christmas list in real life to thrust in my family's faces and demand my most wanted trinkets like a spoiled Veruca Salt. I haven't written a proper Christmas list since I was little, and I'm not the demanding kind. This wish list post is merely a collage of pretty things that are high on my lust list, that I've put together for fun, and to give you guys some Christmas gift ideas.

My Mum actually asked me for some Christmas present ideas a couple of weeks ago, and I couldn't think of much I wanted. It took me ages to think of some things I would like this year. I've realised that  while there are things I'd like, I'm not desperate to find anything under the tree this year, and would be happy to just have a lovely Christmas with my family, full of laughter and good food. That's not to say, I wouldn't be ecstatic to unwrap any of these pieces on Christmas Day, as I would, but Christmas is more about spending time with family, than the presents under the tree for me, and I don't need presents to have a good Christmas.

But just for fun, let's have a look at some of the things I added to my Christmas wish list that I'd love to receive, or might even treat myself to if I'm lucky enough to get any money for Christmas this year.

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 // 11 // 12 // 13 // 14 // 15 // 16 // 17 // 18 // 19 // 20 // 21 // 22

1. I love the look of the Too Faced Enchanted Christmas Wonderland make up collection. The colours and the packaging are to die for.
2. Erstwilder has just released a Peanuts collection, and this Snoopy Nap Time brooch is so iconic.
3. There are a few Lady Vintage Lyra dresses on my wish list, but I think this colourful Party Polka dress is by far my favourite.
4. This Duck, Duck, Splash! brooch from Erstwilder is one of the cutest brooches I've ever seen. I love his little rain outfit.
5. I love love LOVE this Barnes and Nobles leatherbound edition of The Stand by Stephen King. It's one of my all time favourite books, and it's about a super flu the rages across America wiping out most of the population. This edition is already out in the US, and due out in the UK in the new year. I'll definitely be getting a copy.
6. How beautiful is this Puffin Classics clothbound edition of Wuthering Heights?! 
7. These Garrulous Galah drop earrings from the Erstwilder x Pete Cromer collection are so pretty.
8. The Vendula Flower Shop backpack has been on my wish list for ages. I'd love to add it to my bag collection to wear with all my autumn / winter outfits.
9. I used up the mini Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Primer I got in an old Advent calendar, and it's the best primer I've ever tried. I'd be thrilled to find a full-sized bottle in my stocking this Christmas.
10. The Loungefly Disney Cats wallet is the cutest wallet I've seen in years. It even has Dinah on it!!
11. These Kuddly Koala earrings from the Erstwilder x Pete Cromer collection would look amazing with just about any outfit.
12. I never get off Animal Crossing, but I'd love a copy of Mario Kart 8 to mix things up once in a while.
13. I really want one of the Erstwilder enamel pin collector's boxes to display some of my enamel pins on. 
14. This Rainbow Heart Cross Stitch Kit from The World in Stitches would make such a fun, quick project to enjoy at home after Christmas.
15. This Geometric Wave Cross Stitch Kit looks awesome, too.
16. I made the rainbow version of this purple Geometric Heart Cross Stitch Kit a couple of years ago, and would also love to stitch this purple one.
17. I'd love to get the We Stayed Home in 2020 embroidery kit from Cotton Clara to stitch to commemorate this crazy year. Not that any of us are ever going to forget 2020.
18. Another Erstwilder brooch I want to add to my collection is Dolly the Dainty. This vintage-style lamb would be perfect for spring and Easter outfits.
19. The Urban Decay Stoned Vibes Eyeshadow Palette looks incredible. So many pretty shimmers and mattes!
20. The Erstwilder Enlightened Waters waterlily brooch is so pretty. It sounds like something named by Anne Shirley-Cuthbert!
21. Erstwilder's Lachy of the Lily frog brooch would pair perfectly with Enlightened Waters.
22. And the Too Faced Enchanted Forest make up collection looks stunning. Those colours!

Wednesday Wish List: Christmas Fashion

With Christmas officially on the way, it seemed like the perfect time to share a new Wednesday Wish List featuring some of the awesome festive fashion that has caught my eye recently.


1 // 2 // 3 // 4

Oh So Flamingo's acrylic Christmas collection makes me want to go play out in the snow, and come back in to the warmth to drink a hot chocolate by the fire. We might not have any snow in England yet, but these pieces look perfect for accessorising Christmas and winter outfits to keep you looking cute and cosy in the cold. I particularly love the mitten designs.


1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6

Tatty Devine has launched a large Christmas collection for 2020, featuring necklaces, brooches, and earrings with classic Christmas designs like Christmas crackers, robins, gingerbread houses, holly leaves, and more. These are just a few of my favourites, but there are loads more on their website. They're sadly a little out of my price range, but it doesn't hurt to dream.


1 // 2 // 3 // 4

Lady Vintage has some incredible Christmas print dresses this year, and they're currently still on offer in their Black Friday sales! I'm dying to get my hands on the Baubled Hepburn (#1), and the red All Wrapped Up Lyra (#3) dresses, but alas, I'm poor, and still need to finish my Christmas shopping. *Cries internally.*


1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5

Lady Vintage also has a range of Christmas face coverings to help you stay safe from Covid this Christmas, while still looking fabulously festive. The best part is, they're on promotion right now with 50% off, so it's the perfect time to stock up on face masks for all those festive outfits! 


1 // 2 // 3 // 4

Hell Bunny has some stunning pieces in this year's Christmas collection, and I'm particularly smitten with these gorgeous forest green pieces. The candy cane print Beth pieces, and Thea dress are all to die for, and the perfect mix of festive and glamourous. Who says Christmas outfits have to be tacky?

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10

La Vidriola always has such fun and colourful Christmas designs, and this year has been no exception. They've released heaps of amazing new pieces in festive colours, from poinsettias and puppies, to trifles and gingerbread men. These are a handful of the pieces which have caught my eye, but there are many more to choose from on their website.


1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8

And last but by no means least, I Love Crafty has what might just be the cutest Christmas selection I have ever seen. Their laser-cut perspex necklaces, earrings, and brooches feature designs like Christmas kittens, gingerbread houses, and snow cats, and they're bloomin' adorable. I especially love the amazing Snow Globe Necklace (#4).

If you'd like to check out more festive fashion that has caught my eye this Christmas, check out my Christmas style board on Pinterest. You can also find all previous Wednesday Wish List posts here.

My Christmas List 2019


As it's almost Christmas, this week I thought I'd share my Christmas list in lieu of my usual Wednesday Wish List.

I haven't actually compiled a Christmas list to share with someone since I was a teenager, but I like to blog a Christmas list of my most-wanted items every Christmas just for fun. My Mum and sister actually both asked me for ideas this year, though, so I created a Pinterest board full of things I have my eye on at the moment, and pointed them in its direction, and then picked some of my favourites to build this year's Christmas list.

This year, my list is mostly made up of Erstwilder jewellery, pretty books, Lady Vintage dresses, and a variety of beauty palettes and gift sets. (No change there, then!) I don't expect to receive anything from it for Christmas, but I might treat myself to one or two pieces if I'm lucky enough to receive any Christmas money, or if I get the urge to shop after Christmas. It's mostly just a fantasy wish list, but I hope it gives you some last minute gift ideas just the same.


1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 // 11 // 12 // 13 // 14 // 15 // 16 // 17 // 18 // 19 // 20 // 21 // 22 // 23 // 24 // 25 // 26 // 27 // 28 // 29 // 30

1. This matryoshka scarf is so cute, and would go perfectly with my matching matryoshka brooch.
2. I love a good polka dot dress, and this multicolour Party Polka Dot Lyra Dress from Lady V looks beautiful.
3. How pretty is the Puffin Classics' edition of The Secret Garden?!
4. I'm still gutted that the koala brooch from the Erstwilder x Pete Cromer collection sold out before I could hit check out, so I would love to somehow hunt one down this Christmas.
5. I bought a pair of the Erstwilder Essentials drop earrings in red ripple red on release day, and now I want to go back for these gorgeous chunky red glitter heart drop earrings.
6. These purple glitter star studs would also be a nice addition to my ever-growing collection.
7. I'm obsessed with all of the Erstwilder x Pete Cromer designs, and would love to get my hands on the colourful Rowdy Rosella brooch to add to my collection. The resins are so pretty.
8. I also adore the vibrant design of The Comical Cockatoo brooch.
9. I would love a Zatchels large Sugarcube bag in my life. There are so many colours to choose from, but I think the classic red is currently my favourite- at least for winter.
10. I've always wanted to read Dracula, and I'm in love with the new clothbound edition from Puffin Classics.
11. These blue marbled resin moon studs from Erstwilder are absolutely dreamy.
12. The Too Faced 'Let it Snow, Girl!' Christmas make up set is one of the best gift sets I've seen in ages. The eyeshadow palette looks particularly amazing.
13. Every brooch collection needs a kangaroo, and Pete Cromer's Kinetic Kangaroo brooch has so much character.
14. I've been living in my short-sleeved black polka dot Lyra dress this autumn / winter, and I'd love the 3/4 length sleeve version of the Lyra dress for keeping warm in the winter months.
15. I'm still loving the Raven Mad Brooch from Erstwilder's Halloween collection, and would happily wear it all year round.
16. This clothbound classics edition of War of the Worlds is stunning.
17. You can never have too many notebooks, and this set of three Gardener's Club hedgehog print notebooks from Cath Kidston are adorable.
18. I don't really need any new nail polishes right now, but I love the look of this Mavala nail polish set.
19. This YSL Touche Eclat Radiance gift set looks fabulous. I'm addicted to the Blur Primer after getting a mini bottle in my Advent calendar last Christmas.
20. I would never receive this in a million years, but Cath Kidston's Provence Rose print Monty DAB Radio and Speaker is one of the prettiest gadgets I've ever seen.
21. Too Faced's Christmas Cookie House Party gift set is too cute for words. I love the look of the green shade in the eyeshadow palette.
22. Yet another Erstwilder brooch I'm lusting after is the Take a Bite Serpent Brooch. I would also wear it all year round.
23. I can't get over how beautiful this Wizard of Oz book cover is.
24. I would never spent £69 on one beauty gift set for myself, but I really want to try L'Occitane's rhubarb range. It smells divine.
25. Lady Vintage's navy lip print Lyra dress is really fun.
26. This OPI Hello Kitty gift set looks like such a lovely collection, with some really gorgeous nail shades.
27. After enjoying The Handmaid's Tale last year, I really want to read its new sequel, The Testaments by Margaret Atwood.
28. These purple glitter crescent moon earrings from Erstwilder are so beautiful.
29. This dreamy Gingerbread Spice Eyeshadow Palette from Too Faced has been on my wish list for years!
30. And I'd love to try more of The Body Shop's new festive Juicy Pear range, and the Juicy Pear Festive Sack seems like a great set for value for money. I don't think the scent is festive at all, but it is lovely- so sweet and fresh.

If you'd like to see more of the items on my Christmas list, why not check out my Christmas Wish List board on Pinterest? You can also find all previous Wednesday Wish List posts here.

Wednesday Wish List: Christmas Jewellery


This week, I've been swooning over all the latest and upcoming Christmas jewellery releases from my favourite quirky jewellery brands, so this week's Wednesday Wish List is all about the Christmas jewellery. I know, I know; it's still six weeks 'til Christmas, but these jewellery collections never hang around for long, so it's now or never if you want any hope of buying any of them for yourself before they sell out.


1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 // 11 // 12 // 13 // 14 // 15 // 16 // 17 // 18 // 19 // 20

Erstwilder released their new Christmas collection, All Wrapped Up, on Monday morning, and it's one of their cutest ranges yet. The twenty piece collection features sixteen brooches, two necklaces, and two pairs of earrings, with a mix of retro Christmas designs and cutesy critters- many of which could be worn all year round.

I've been looking forward to this range since last Christmas, and was naturally up before the sun rose to get my hands on my favourites. I chose the snowglobe, cuckoo clock, and robin, although I put them on lay-buy for a month (I thought I'd better be sensible and get some Christmas shopping out of the way before spending all my money on myself), so I won't be able to review them until nearer Christmas. There are several others I really want, but they're selling so quickly they'll probably be gone before I can afford them. If you have your heart set on any of them, shop now, or you may miss out! You can shop the collection with Erstwilder here, and find stockists around the world here.


1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10

Erstwilder also released a collection of Christmas Essentials resin drop earrings that can be worn alone or with any of their Christmas collections past and present as the perfect finishing touch for any Christmas outfit. There are six different styles in a variety of colours and finishes, and as you can see, I particularly love the reds and blacks. I don't often wear statement earrings but I love the designs, so I've bought one pair to test the water and see if they annoy me or not. I treated myself to the red ripple resin hearts (#1), which look beautiful, so fingers crossed we get along. If we do, I'm sure to go back for some of my other favourites. You can shop the collection with Erstwilder here, and find more stockists here.



1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10

Tatty Devine launched their new Christmas jewellery collection a week or two ago, which includes a fun selection of brooches, necklaces, and earrings. This year's designs feature both classic and quirky designs including holly, mistletoe, humbugs, stars, turkey legs, and even lobsters. I particularly love the look of the holly and star pieces, but would love to buy them all.


1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10

And the final collection I'm going to share with you today is La Vidriola's amazing offering for 2019. I stumbled up on their new festive designs last week, and have been in love with most of the collection ever since. These are a handful of my favourites, but there are many more incredible kitsch limited edition pieces to choose from this year. I especially adore the carol singing and ice skating statement necklaces, and the Snowy Central Park brooch, and would love to get my hands on them. Aren't they amazing?

If you'd like to see more of the fashion pieces on my wish list, check out my style wish list boards on Pinterest. I have a board especially for Christmas Clothes and Accessories here, which I'll be adding to as more festive fashion pieces catch my eye. You can also find all previous Wednesday Wish List posts here.

Any favourites this week?

My Christmas List 2018


As it's almost Christmas, this week I've put together my Christmas list in lieu of my usual Wednesday Wish List post. 

I haven't written a Christmas list that I've shared with family members since I was a kid, but I like to share one on the blog every Christmas, just for fun. I won't be sharing it with family or friends unless they ask for ideas, so it's basically a fantasy wish list made up of all the things at the top of my wish list that I would love to find under the tree this Christmas. I don't expect to receive any of it, but I might treat myself to a piece or two if I'm lucky enough to receive any money for Christmas, or just feel the urge to spoil myself at the end of the month.

This year, my Christmas list is made up of a generous dose of fashion, lots of beauty palettes and gift sets, a handful of books, and even a few homeware items, and it may just give you a few last minute gift ideas.


1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 // 11 // 12 // 13 // 14 // 15 // 16 // 17 // 18 // 19 // 20 // 21 // 22 // 23 // 24 // 25 // 26 // 27 // 28 // 29

1. I love the print and colours on this Pinball 50's dress from Hell Bunny.
2. Of all the brooches on my wish list, Erstwilder's Life By The Horns Rhino Brooch is still at the very top. I adore it!
3. I'm also smitten with Erstwilder's Okapi Of Course Brooch, and have been coveting it for months. I can never resist brooches inspired by unusual animals.
4. I chose the OPI nail polish Advent calendar to count down to Christmas with this year, but I'd still love to own the collection of polishes in the Ciaté Mini Mani Month calendar to make my nails look pretty in 2019. It's currently on sale, too!
5. This macaw print Tropical Parrot phone case from Skinny Dip is so beautiful. I once did work experience with macaws, so it's another reason why I need it. The best part is, it's currently half price!
6. Ciaté's new Glitter Storm eyeshadow palette looks absolutely stunning.
7. Armadillos are one of my favourite animals, and this armadillo brooch from Little Moose is one of the cutest pieces of jewellery I've ever seen! I want it so badly!
8. This cuckoo clock cross body bag from Vendula London is also one of the most amazing novelty bags I've ever laid eyes on. Just look at it!
9. I don't need any more eyeshadow palettes, but the Urban Decay Naked Cherry eyeshadow palette looks so gorgeous, I could definitely make room for it in my life.
10. I love the look of the Craft The Rainbow paper-craft book from The House That Lars Built. 
11. I really want to try some of the new Berry Bon Bon Delights products from The Body Shop.
12. Lindy Bop's Kody tea dress is one of my favourite Lindy styles, and it looks beautiful in berry.
13. This harvest mouse brooch from Tatty Devine is wonderful. It reminds me of Harvest Festival in primary school.
14. Hell Bunny's Pinball 50's skirt is almost as fabulous as the dress.
15. How amazing is this Mary Poppins glitter umbrella shoulder bag from Truffle Shuffle?! OMG!
16. I love Moorea Seal's 52 List books, and I love the look of her newest title 52 Lists For Togetherness.
17. The OPI Bubbles Collection is so fun and colourful.
18. I adore these Alpine Ditsy Bluetooth Speakers from Cath Kidston. I've needed some new speakers since my old ones broke last year, so my Mum's actually bought me them for Christmas! FYI, they're so inexpensive, and are currently on sale, too!
19. Little Moose's statement armadillo necklace is so cute I could cry.
20. I've always loved red and white toadstools, so I can't help coveting Erstwilder's amazing Forest Fun Guy Brooch.
21. I can't get my own real living, breathing narwhal for Christmas, so Kimchi and Coconut's galaxy narwhal brooch would be the second best thing.
22. Soap & Glory's Flatterbox gift set looks fabulous. There are so many great products in one handy palette.
23. This Moomin hot water bottle from House of Disaster is adorable.
24. Lindy Bop's Kasha kitten print tea dress ticks all the right boxes. I love the shape, style, colour, and print. And it has sleeves!
25. I'm dying to get my hands on the Breathe List Journal from Breathe Magazine. It looks fantastic, as do the other books in the series.
26. The World in Stitches make the best cross stitch kits and patterns, and I'd love to make this cookies sampler kit after Christmas.
27. What's better than a carousel horse brooch? A carousel fox brooch, like Vixen Copper, from Curious Carousel. I can't help thinking it would make a great design for a tattoo, too!
28. Too Faced's Chocolate Gold eyeshadow palette is so darn pretty. Those colours!
29. And this Bambi print leather cross body bag from Cath Kidston is wonderful. They always do Disney so well.
