#BigBlogmasproject2014 Day 4 - John Lewis Decoration Wishlist

John Lewis

It seems that every year the trees in the area get put up earlier and earlier - this year some people had them up weeks ago now! I personally can't put it up until the 1st of Dec but this year I'm on a mission to replace all my decorations as the ones we have we bought from Wilkinsons and now we have our own home I want it to invest in some new ones. If money were no object then I would head to Liberty of London and splash out but I can't so to John Lewis I will head.

This year I want lots of silver and red decorations, I prefer silver to gold just because of personal preference plus red and green are always gorgeous. I love the mix of trinkets and simple decorations - I like mine to be an eclectic mix of different decorations with lots of sparkle and shine. I really want the little car as it reminds me of my little mini. 

I've got my eye on a few of these that I will pop and pick up soon - keep a look out for a What's on my tree post coming in the future!

Now I need to go in search of a pug decoration to celebrate Ted's first Xmas with us - any suggestions? Which is your favourite bit? xx

#BigBlogmasproject2014 Day 3 - The Christmas Tag

The theme for today's post was General Christmassy Post, and what's better then The Christmas Tag! I found this on Becky from Milkbubbletea's blog and thought it look fun.

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s?

I adore Christmas films, every year I watch all the The Santa Clause, Elf, Nativity, Love Actually, the list is endless, I just love Christmas Films!

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

It depends where I am but traditionally it has been on Christmas Morning. We're not allowed up before 7:30 and then we open stockings & presents sat around in our PJs, then we have breakfast and get ready.

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

 Opening my stocking every year - Santa would always  put the most random objects from around the house in there, bits of TV remote, the dogs bone, anything!

4. favourite festive food?

Christmas Dinner - I adore a good roast and this is the ultimate one, even Brussel sprouts! 

5. Favourite Christmas gift ?

I can't pick one gift as I've always been very lucky to get lots of lovely presents, my favourite gift as I've got older is just to have time with my family and friends.

 

6. Favourite Christmas scent?

Christmas dinner cooking!!!! The smell of food at this time of year is just a reminder of home.

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

We spend the day baking, sausage rolls, mince pies, etc. I spend the day tracking Santa's journey on NORAD. Then we sit and watch the soaps in our pjs and then we get all the things ready for Santa and the reindeer, a glass of whiskey and a mince pie for Santa and a carrot and water for the reindeer. Then its time for bed so Santa has time to come.

8. What tops your tree?
An angel or a star that we've had for years!

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?
A horse, always a horse - I'm still waiting Santa -hint hint!

10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?
Spending time with my loves ones, friends and family, after eating Christmas dinner, watching trashy tv. Falling asleep in front of the TV, getting a bit drunk and eating my weight in After  Eights.

So there's my Christmas Tag, I tag everyone! Link me if you do it, I would love to see your answers. xx

#BigBlogmasproject2014 Day 2 - Space NK Gift Guide

I love the whole process of picking out presents for someone I care about, I can spend ours on line looking for the perfect gift. Today's post is a gift guide for the women in your lives.

I picked out a mixture of make up and nail polish as they're things that I would also like to receive. Out of the whole collection it's the make up that I really want - the Nars Palette and the Hourglass palette are two things that I know are one the list of so many people because they are beautiful. The Eve Lom lip balm is a cute treat for on the tree, perfect for all the days spent wearing lipstick and the cold weather. The Laura Mercier set is a nice set of nude colours, perfect for the everyday look lover. Finally a few little trinkets, the Eyelash Curlers have a cult status whilst the Ciate Nail polish is just cute and who doesn't love a cute product! 

So there's my gift guide for the women in your lives - now to start dropping hints to the man in mine that I would like some of these! Which bits do you want? xx
