Beauty Christmas Gift Guide

Beauty Christmas Gift Guide

[click on the images to shop the picture above] This one’s for the beauty lovers, and boy oh boy have the holiday collections been good this year. Aside from being a fun gift idea (especially if you’re opting for a jazzy eyeshadow palette), it’s also an excellent chance to restock your vanity. The gift sets always deliver good value for money, and what I like to do is repurchase my skincare heroes to have on standby for when I run out during the year.

Jewellery Christmas Gift Guide

Jewellery Christmas Gift Guide

If I’m absolutely stuck for Christmas gift ideas, jewellery is what I always come back to. It’s classic, and everyone loves something a little sparkly.

It’s felt a little like it’s just crept up on me. And right now, I’m getting a head start on my Christmas gifting, so I don’t have to worry about making a last minute dash on Christmas Eve. Today I thought I’d kick off the first of a series of Christmas Gift Guides. Each one will be tailored to a specific category, starting with Small Business. I think we…

Early Black Friday Sales to Shop Now

Early Black Friday Sales to Shop Now

I feel like I say this every year, but the sales seem to be starting earlier and earlier. So many retailers are doing a “Black Friday preview” or early sale, so it’s worth taking a peek now in case items on your wishlist sell out. I always use this time as an opportunity to plan ahead with Christmas gifting, or to stock up on any wardrobe essentials for the season ahead. If you plan it right, you can extend your budget a bit further… and I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling that every little bit helps as we head…
