5 Things I'm Looking Forward To This Christmas

With only a few more days to go 'till Christmas is upon us I'm in full Christmas mode right now. I've spent the week finishing off my gift shopping, making sure I tick everyone off of the list, wrapping presents (which I love!) and playing Christmas tunes. There are so many things that make this time of the year so special to me and so I thought I'd share 5 of those with you today, before Christmas!

 SHOP THE POST:

1. Christmas jumpers

Who doesn't love a Christmas jumper?! Whether it's garish or traditional, you simply can't do Christmas without one. This year I've got a couple of new ones but I've also fallen for this pom pom jumper from Next, it's available in both cream and red and reminds me of mini Christmas baubles so if you're not a fan of a classic Christmas jumper then this style makes for a nice alternative.

2. Gifting

I really love gift giving at Christmas, I think it's the perfect time to give back to the people you love. For me, nothing beats seeing my family's faces light up with joy when opening presents in the early hours of Christmas day (that is, midnight on Christmas Eve/Day because we just can't wait!)

If you're after some gift giving ideas then hopefully I've had you covered throughout December. I've gathered some of my top picks this year which you can watch me talk about and show you in my most recent YouTube videos and you can scroll through all of my Christmas content here including gift guides, gift wrapping ideas and more!

3. A red lip

I've always loved wearing a red lip and what better time than Christmas time to. My first true red, and probably still my favourite to date, is the classic Ruby Woo by M.A.C. Nothing makes me feel more festive than a red lip and this is my go-to.

4. Making time for Family and Friends

I find that throughout the year it can be quite hard to keep up with what all my friends are up to but at this time of year we all do our best to get together for a Christmas meal or a festive day out, we get the chance to catch up with what each other has been up to whilst feeling festive!

5. London

This city is a such a magical one and I will forever hold London in my heart, I don't ever want to leave! There's something so magical about the capital at Christmas that simply blows me away and makes me love it even more.

Every year there are more and more festive decorations gracing the streets, stores and people's doors which I gasp at in excitement like a little girl. Some of my personal favourite Christmassy spots in London include: Oxford Street/Regent Street, the Natural History Museum, Covent Garden, Southbank and of course Winter Wonderland.

This is my last blog post before Christmas so I wish you a very Merry Christmas if you celebrate the holiday and if not, just enjoy the time off! I'll be back on the 26th with a boxing day sales roundup for you so you won't even realise I've been gone.

Happy Holidays!
