Christmas is not far away and while I’ve got most of my Christmas shopping done I was thinking about what I’ll be receiving this year and what I would like. Some people might say I’m fussy but I don’t think so at all, if someone has reason behind a gift that means more than the gift itself. I love surprising people and really thinking about what they like, I enjoy giving gifts. I’d be happy to receive any of the items in this post!
1. OPI – Tiramisu For Two
I heard this nail polish mentioned in a beauty chat with Rochelle Humes and Sam and Nic Chapman. Tiramisu For Two is one of Rochelle’s favourite nail polishes and when I Googled it, I instantly loved the colour. It’s one of those nudes that suits a number of skin tones and I love the name! OPI describe Tiramisu For Two as “a sweet coffee cream” and I definitely don’t have a polish like this already. The shade was released as part of the Venice collection in 2015.
EDIT: I purchased this polish myself on December 5th. I popped in store to see if they had the polish and the store only had a couple of bottles left. I didn’t want to miss out!
2. Jigsaw puzzle
I absolutely love jigsaws and have done since I was a kid. There’s always a jigsaw on the go at my boyfriend’s house and earlier in the year I was given double ups of ones they already had. I’m quite good at jigsaws due to my eye for detail and I can’t resist dong them when I visit. I saw a couple of WHSmith branded ones which are postcards from different cities and the Paris and London ones look fun.
3. Me To You Teddy
These are my favourite teddies! The Me To You brand is super sweet and they always have themed teddies or teddies for special occasions. I have given these teddies as gifts in the past and they go down so well, I want one of my own! How cute is the teddy dressed in a giraffe onesie?! I have also seen a panda onesie and a unicorn onesie – adorable.
4. Agatha Christie dvd sets – Poirot and marple
Two of my favourite TV series have been released on DVD and there are a number of episodes of both I haven’t seen (particularly Poirot). I would love to say I’ve seen all episodes of both series. My one slight gripe with detective stories is that once you’ve seen the episode you know who the murderer is so how likely are you to re-watch all the stories.
5.Cute Mug
I don’t have a lot of hot drinks but I have been using Nescafé instant coffee sachets over the past couple of months and I love getting my mugs out. I’ve got one with cats on it and another one that’s white with metallic gold spots. I’ve also got a personalised takeaway coffee cup my brother bought for me. What I mean by cute is a mug with a quote on it, an illustration like the mug in the picture or a nice pastel pink or blue colour.
6. kikki.k Vases
I often get given roses by boyfriend/his mum and I’ve got a couple of vases I put them in but not one that is desk worthy. I love the boldness of the black vase, you don’t often see black vases and the gold spots are a nice touch. The set of four are mini vases and I love the pops of colour! My mum would love these too as she loves minis so we could share.
7. Mac Melon pigment (travel size)
MAC pigments are so gorgeous. Melon is a peachy-gold colour all in one and I don’t have any colour like that in my makeup collection. I watched a video of Shaaanxo using the pigment in a neutral eye look and it looks stunning. You don’t need to use a lot of pigment so the travel size would be perfect to try.
What’s on your Christmas wishlist?

We LOVE Poirot and Marple, too! I have a fairly bad memory for TV shows so I manage to be able to rewatch them after several years have gone by. They’re really good, though, regardless of remembering whodunit.
Those vases are adorable 🙂

That’s true. I don’t always remember the culprit when I have seen episodes again and it would also take a fair while to get through all the stories 🙂
Love the vases! ❤️

I can’t wait to try the nail polish, hopefully at the weekend. We have a chain similar to WHSmith that sells books and stationery and some of their branded products. I’ve heard good things about MAC’s pigments as well 😄

Funny, for my friend’s birthday earlier this year, I bought OPI “Tiramisu For Two” for her since she’s Italian and she likes plain nude shades – she loves that polish!
I remember you asked for a jigsaw puzzle before? I love doing them too. 🙂
The travel size pigment will last you a lifetime! I own quite a few of them and no matter how much I use them, they all still look FULL.
I put the Fenty Beauty universal lip gloss on my wish list – I hope I get it. 😉 I also asked for a new laptop bag.

At least if you buy your own you can’t misinterpret cute! I don’t have many hot drinks so I don’t know why I find them so fascinating, maybe it’s an age thing 😆
