WHAT'S ON MY CHRISTMAS LIST 2015 PART 2! ❆ (quick post)

Hi guys!!

I'm feeling pretty cheery today has been a good one. I managed to have a cheeky browse around the shops before work and saw some things that I NEED in my life which I'm sure you will too once you see them. I don't have loads of time but I really just wanted to throw it out there so sorry if this looks a little messy.

1. The Yankee Candle advent calendar

I saw this in Clinton's (sooo glad that they sell Yankee in there now!) you get 24 tea lights and one votive and it costs £25 which I think is pretty reasonable as it works out at £1 per candle! I'm not sure of the scents but I'm guessing it will be the Christmas ones which smell foodie and delicious.

2. This ADORABLE penguin duvet set from M&S

At £49.50-£79 (single-superking) this is pretty expensive but hey for a christmas gift it's all good right? Plus it's worth every penny in CUTENESS! I took this photo myself when I went to the huge M&S back home, I find it's always a good idea to take photos of stuff you can't get at the time just as a little reminder or maybe to send to people you want to hint at hehe ;)

Sorry it's such a short one from me this time, I have several ideas of posts I want to put up and will try and get it done within the next couple of days but you know how it is, life happens!

Hope you are all doing well, has anyone started their christmas shopping yet? I haven't bought anything but I've got a few ideas, plus I get paid tomorrow so I'll have some coins in the bank to get this stuff with! I'll let you know what I have purchased.

PRIMARK HAUL!

HEY GUYS!

I am obsessed with Primark's home items at the moment, they are sooo pretty and seasonal. It caught my eye when I was having a browse in town the other day, they had a window display with some candles, fluffy blankets and a cute wolf canvas print. Jack liked the wolf as well so we decided to have a gander upstairs to see how much it was. After going up two lots of escalators we reached the top floor where the home section was and were delighted to find that our friend wolfie was only £2.50! 

So obviously we got that and then began exploring all the other cosy looking treats. As usual I gravitated towards the candles and proceeded to smell each of them systematically. I always struggle whether I should buy them based on scent or if they match my colour scheme, if it has both then it's basically fate. I picked up one that smelt of red berry and jasmine (£1.50) (very nice indeed) and one that was called 'falling star' which apparently smelt like old ladies but it was in this gorgeous jar with a little star charm attached to it (£4)so I got it anyway, there is also a snowflake one which I may pick up at a later date. Not sure what's wrong with me at the moment but sometimes when I mean to type 'I' I type 'A' so I apologize if you notice this at any point, please let me know!

I spent ages looking at these slippers that had memory foam in the sole but when I found the perfect pair (grey mini boots with faux fur around the trim and inside with a cute bow detail) of course they didn't have my size. :( I went back the next day and still nothing but as I work in the shopping centre I guess it's okay as I can keep checking. 

Another item I got was the most comfy, fluffy, elegant looking throw I could find. We needed one for our sofa as it's not in the best condition, we figured why not just dress it up with a smart looking throw and some cushions. Now I am cushion mad, and I had to restrain myself from buying one with an adorable raccoon on it, but if it's still there next payday I'm going for it. I do have a sizable cushion collection already though so don't worry it won't be looking bare.

The last thing I got was some fluffy bed socks, you can never have too many pairs of these. They are great for just going around the house when the evenings get cooler there's nothing worse than having chilly toes! I get most of my bed socks from Primark because they have such a big selection and you can get a two pack for £2 in most of the designs. 

Don't get me wrong I would be all over Laura Ashley Home, M&S and John Lewis if I could actually buy any of their stuff without going broke! But for now I'm good with Primark, they are reasonably priced, have lots of choice and their stuff is decent! Well worth a look, here's some pictures of what I got:

Let me know what you thought of this post or what you would like to see in future posts in the comments and link you own blogs so I can have a look! See you next time :)
