An A - Z Gift Guide
Let’s talk love languages. To receive, mine is all of them (tehe) but to give, I really come alive in the acts of service and gift giving departments. With that being said, Christmas is one of my favourite times of year and for those of us who celebrate, it’s just around the corner.
I know that addressing Christmas before Halloween has taken place is illegal. However, if you are also a Type-A individual like myself you’ll want to have things mapped out as far ahead as possible (this could even be too late for some!) and since I am amongst friends, I thought I would hit post on this now instead of waiting till the 1st of November.
For me, the perfect gift is something that people wouldn’t typically buy themselves, which is what I’ve aimed to curate below.
Please understand that this is essentially my Wishlist and so I have included the links of items that I am most drawn to, but it goes without saying that you should definitely browse the brands listed to see if there is something more to your taste than what I have signposted. I’m aware that there are some premium products here and apologies if that seems a bit out of touch- especially in this economy! I have included these options as I wanted to provide items for a range of different budgets.
Happy Gifting! xx
