The Tami Made Me Do It, Festive Haul

Every now and then you've just got to go shopping. So when Tami messaged me saying she was going to be in London and did I fancy touring all the Christmas halls on Oxford Street with her, I was all for it. It's never too early to get festive, is it?

I was moderately restrained (I know, woah) and even managed not to buy any makeup (cough cough, Tami bought six lipsticks, cough), and most of the things I bought had a festive theme, so I thought I'd spread the Christmas cheer early, and show you what I got.

First up, the only beauty-related thing I got, I finally got my hands on the Lush Northern Lights Bath Bomb, which has been sold out literally EVERYWHERE. The scent isn't my favourite but have you seen what it does to your bath?! Excited to try this out this week!

After that, a pilgramage to the Tottenham Court Road Paperchase was a must, since Tami had never been and that place is like STATIONERY MECCA. I was very restrained and only picked up these adorable festive robin stickers to go in my Erin Condren Life Planner, because who can resist a glittery robin wearing a festive hat. Not me, that's who. I did manage not to buy seventy notebooks, but my receipt had a voucher for five pound off a £20 spend so that might happen soon.

We then accidentally on purpose fell into Tiger, where I proceeded to buy ALL THE FESTIVE STATIONERY. We've got post it notes with mummy and baby polar bears and penguins. They were a pound, how was I supposed to leave them behind?! I also bought festive washi tape. Because reasons. All of this is going in the Erin Condren, because to do lists are much nicer when they're festive, right? 

Also from Tiger, I picked up two teeny tiny, itsy bitsy, festive candle holders. I feel like these make the room feel a bit more christmassy, but they could still be used year round and not look like I forgot to put them away. Also they were a pound each, so I couldn't really leave them, could I? 

And lastly, a few festive additions from the Hell that is Primark on Oxford street, on a Friday evening. Just no, don't go if you can help it. I finally found the perfect festive bedding that combines the three most important factors - 1, it's festive, 2, it's brushed cotton, and 3, it's neutral enough that the boyfriend won't reject it. I want to put this on the bed right now, but The Boy says I have to wait until at least the second half of November. Boring.

Also from Primark, bargain festive fairy lights, to put on the TV stand in our living room, or possibly over our headboard. £1.50, you can't really go wrong can you? Also in the queue (AKA AISLE OF DEATH, where I usually buy ten packs of sweets and more socks than I could wear in a year), I found this little set of fairisle false nails, that I thought, for a pound, I might as well try out. They actually look like a good size, and they were quite cute. I'll report back on my Beauty Blog how they are!

Okay, be honest, is it too soon to be this festive?
