Christmas Wrapping

Only 6 days to go guys, where has time gone! It doesn't feel like long ago that I was opening last years presents, now I'm wrapping this years! It's crazy!

One of the best things about Christmas for me is the wrapping. I do most of my mums wrapping for her because she cannot stand it But for some reason I absolutely love it! This year I wanted to be very vintage and traditional, I'm not quite sure which word describes it best, I'll let you decide that. 

But anyway, I went for the brown paper theme. I got some parcel paper from my dad's work but you can get it from anywhere. I got some red and white ribbons from tesco and hey presto! Super cute present. There are many different types of ribbon available but I thought red and white was fairly traditional :) 

How have you wrapped your Christmas presents this year? 

Christmas Essentials

It's coming to that time of the year again, aka my favourite time of the year, yes it's nearly Christmas! I cannot control my excitement and I want to share my excitement with you by doing another Christmas related post! So this is what my Christmas essentials are!

Fairy lights
No christmas or cosy night in is complete without some fairy lights. I have fairy lights around my headboard which you will see in my christmas decoration post later this week. They just give a cute feel to any room.

Christmas films
Watching christmas films is one of the easiest ways to get into the christmas spirit. Ones I highly recommend are Elf and Home Alone 1/2/3. Christmas 24 on sky is a good channel to watch, it's like constant christmassy goodness!

Hot Chocolate
When you're sitting in on a Friday night, watching a christmas movie, there is nothing better than drinking a cup of hot chocolate and stuffing your face with chocolate. Delicious!

Christmassy PJ's/onesie
There are some gorgeous pajamas and onesie's out there to make you feel all snug on a cold winter evening. Primark pj's are the best, I highly recommend them!

Skin care products
Even though in the winter we seem to get lazy and tired, you cannot let your skin suffer. This is why it's a good idea to get moisturisers that keep your skin hydrated during the cold. Not just for your face either, the rest of your body is affected too which is why I recommend the Soap and Glory Righteous Butter.

There you go, there are my Christmas essentials! Do you have any other essentials?
