My Early Christmas Gift Guide Of Affordable Items I Personally Love

Since it’s November, I thought I would put together a Christmas gift guide a bit early, featuring some items that I absolutely love and own myself! That way you know it’s genuine! So take a look at this small gift guide and see if there’s anything in here you want to get for someone special. Like I said, I adore every single one of these! There are 8 items in total. Happy shopping!

Manucurist Active Blur Nail Polish

I recently got into Manucurist after seeing an ad for them. The first nail polish I saw and fell in love with was Active Blur. It’s a matte effect that hides any imperfections! I ended up buying 15 of their nail polishes and I am obsessed with them all! They last around 7 days, go on smoothly, and are a joy to work with. These are easily the best polishes I have ever tried! And no I am not working with them, these are my thoughts and I’m obsessed with Manucurist. It’s currently on sale at Look Fantastic! Check out this Instagram picture to see how it looks on all nails as well. Click the name or image to purchase.

Providing the perfect amount of velvety matte blur, the Active Blur polish by Manucurist is a powder pink formula that combines care and colour for up to seven days. Nourishing the nail plate with a blend of chestnut extract, niacinamide and AHAs, this fast-drying formula delivers a renewing effect, supporting a healthy-looking finish and long-lasting manicure. No curing necessary, use this nail polish in between gel sets, building coverage as desired.

Sophelia and Co. Mini Huggie Pearl Earrings

These are the Sophelia and Co. Mini huggie hoop earrings in 18ct gold plated sterling silver, with a small freshwater pearl drop. The pearl measures about 7.5 x 9.5mm, so they’re easy to wear and lightweight. They came in the cutest gift box as well, so they’re ready to gift right away. I’m obsessed with these earrings! I love them! You will be seeing them in an outfit post soon! The brand also has many other really pretty jewellery pieces, so they’re worth checking out as a whole!

Autumn Book Cafe Phone Case

I recently upgraded my iPhone and I needed a new case. Since I adore reading and books, and the autumn season, this case was absolutely ideal! It’s from a seller on Etsy and I recommend getting it in the glossy version. I have the matte version and it’s a little dark, so I think glossy would have been a better choice! But isn’t it just adorable? I also love two other iPhone cases, this one and this one. Both of these are on my wish list as well!

UGG Cosy Socks

I own these UGG socks in pink (the exact same style) and they are amazing! They are so comfy and cosy and soft, while keeping your feet really warm. They’re lounge socks to be worn at home as they’re so thick. I wear them in place of slippers. The pink isn’t available anymore, but this brown pair is just as pretty!

The Wycherleys Book

The Wycherleys is a book that remains one of my favourites! I picked it up two years ago and was obsessed with the story. The third book just got released today, so if you want to go one further, get the second book and the third book so you can gift the set. The story is about a witch and a wizard who are trying to uncover some secrets. I don’t want to give too much away, but it’s amazing!

Oliver Bonas Pink Burgundy Scarf

I’ve had this chunky Oliver Bonas scarf for a year and it’s so soft! The colourway is actually really pretty and it’s one of those scarves that’s super warm as it’s really thick and big. If you or someone you know loves soft, big scarves, this one is ideal! Plus, scarves always make a great gift idea!

ColorPop Stone Cold Fox Eyeshadow Palette

Stone Cold Fox by ColorPop is one of my all time favourite eyeshadow palettes! It has everything you need for neutral and smokey eyes, plus a couple of mauves to add some colour. There’s mattes and shimmers, so you can do any look you need to. It’s one of the most versatile palettes you can give someone. It’s one I use regularly.

Adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers

I just got these Adidas trainers in this plum burgundy shade and I am obsessed! I already own 3 pairs of this specific style of Adidas trainer, and this colour is obsession worthy! It’s so beautiful in person and goes with blue denim as much as it does black. It’s one of the most versatile colours (outside of neutrals) I have ever seen!

Abercrombie & Fitch Sunday High Rise Sweatpants

I recently got these Abercrombie & Fitch Sunday wide leg sweatpants in black, oatmeal, and in this dark brown colour and they are incredible! They are fleece lined so they’re like wearing a duvet/comforter! They come with a matching hoody if you want the full look, but in terms of comfy sweatpants for the autumn and winter, these are absolutely it. I’m living in them!
