This is a PSA, IT'S ONLY SEVEN DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS GUYS. I did a post on my lifestyle blog on my perfect stocking, which you can read here, but I thought I should give you guys a few suggestions if you've still got any last minute gifts to pick up.
First up, let's talk socks. All stockings should include stockings. All of them. Particularly fuzzy warm and cozy slipper socks. Lot's of them. Buy them in bulk in Primark and give them to everyone you love.
Now that we've got the most important part out of the way, let's talk other options. You can't really go wrong with a good palette, and I've got three that I think would be perfect. First up, the Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics Palette, which I think everyone should own. It's simple, but it's got options, which is what you want in a palette. I can't see anyone not liking this! Another good option is the Soap and Glory Perfect Ten Palette, which houses some seriously beautiful shimmery shades, in a variety of neutral themed colours. The quality of these shades is fantastic, and it's a good budget option. And lastly, I thought I'd mention the Benefit X Matthew Williamson The Rich Is Back Kit, which contains four gorgeous eyeshadows, a beautiful blush, a mascara and lipgloss, so everything you need. It's an amazing kit, and it's little known too!
You also can't go wrong with nail polishes, and Essie just released their Winter Trio drop, which is pretty much stocking perfect. You've got a beautiful red, a pretty glitter and a pearly white, essentially the perfect winter nail polish trio. Another good option are the Ciaté Sequins in Mistletoe Magic, which is essentially just a little jar of gold, green and red sequins for your nails. Pretty, and something a little different.
I found a couple of lip products worth a mention here too, firstly the Trilogy Luscious Rosehip Lips Set, which contains one Rosehip Oil Lip Balm, a super hydrating minty lip balm, and the Holiday Lip Balm, a cinnamon scented lip balm with a sheer red tint. Both are really hydrating and the set comes in at £12.50, which if you ask me, is a bit of a bargain. The other is the Lush Santa Lip Scrub, a cola flavoured lip treatment that not only helps with dry lips, but is also pretty festive.
Lush in general make pretty good gifts, and aside from the obvious gift sets, I can't imagine anyone not liking the Gold FUN! Bar, a beautiful bubble bar scented of honey that fills your bath with shimmery gold bubbles. Does that not sound like heaven to you?
Whilst perfumes can be tricky to get right (and pricey), body sprays make a good alternative. The Body Shop make some good ones, but right now I love the Victoria's Secret Warm Ginger Spray. Because who doesn't want to smell like ginger biscuits?
The beauty market is flooded with festive fragranced hand creams right now, and why not jump on that bandwagon? I'm totally obsessed with The Body Shop's Glazed Apple Hand Cream, which is not only super hydrating, it also smells like heaven.
Outside the beauty world, I also think you can't go wrong with jewelery, notebooks, candles and chocolate. I love Happy Jackson Notebooks, H&M jewelery, and Bath & Bodyworks candles.
What do you want to find in your stocking this year?
