Seeing as Iv'e been accumulating quite a few little gifts that also happen to be really pretty, I figured it would be a huge shame not to feature them on the blog. These are all ideas that can be used as stocking fillers, secret santa gifts or even 'main presents'. Like most students I don't have a ton of money to spend on gifts for people so all of these are relatively affordable but equally wonderful because I'm not one to pass up on quality.
Lip Bullets
Topshop have a lovely selection of gifts out, not bad on price and so, so cute. Their Lip Bullets have great reviews and I would love to receive one of these mini bullets in this adorable little pyramid bauble. The pyramids come in 3 different colours or you could go for the pack of two which is slightly more expensive but for someone who likes lovely lip colours is just perfect. Also, theres glitter. Lots of glitter. I think what's pushing the product massively here is the packaging because it's just so hard to say no to.
Cheek Glows
These little glow domes are quite pricey for the small size they are. It's all about the hi lighting at the moment and both these shades have stunning iridescent finishes- perfect for the season, so I may just keep one for myself. I ordered them and was expecting them to be quite a bit bigger, but I'm interested to see if they're worth the £9 each.
3 for £8 socks
Topshop have this offer on their socks all year round but their selection right now is bedazzling and pretty socks never go to waste.
Zara have a lovely and actually quite extensive collection of their own brand fragrances, I've tried quite a few and there is a huge variety of scents. At the moment they have these mini roller-ball sizes that are the perfect stocking fillers. I think some of their fragrances are actually incredible and definitely could compare to the more expensive options on the market. Also, as usual their packaging is so sleek and upmarket.
I couldn't find these mini roller-balls on their site, but they definitely have them in stores, in abundance too. This is a very sensual scent with sweet notes, they have testers in store.
I heard a few bloggers talk about this product and I was willing to try it because both my mum and I find it hard getting to sleep at night. The product is supposed to calm the mind and body with the scent of lavender and chamomile also "alleviate stress, settling the nerves and establishing a feeling of balance, whilst its sedative action also treats mental and physical exhaustion". It's not cheap, its not overly expensive so I figured it was worth a try because I do find it really hard to switch my mind off at night.
With Sleep Comes Beauty set- ASOS if you wanted to spend a bit more.
I purchased a lot of products during their black friday event. I won't go through each product because there are a lot. What I will say is that I have lipsticks, mascara and nail polish from them all of which are beautiful Italian quality and they are incredibly affordable. I'm not sponsored by them I just think that what they provide is exceptional compared to other brands in this price bracket. Their quality, their packaging, the service you get in store is all really lovely, I can't really fault them.
Anyway I picked up some excellent stocking fillers, if you haven't been to a Kiko store definitely pop in or have a browse online (also their delivery was very impressive).
Pure Colour nail polishes (now £2.50!) - huge selection of colours.
I love soap and glory products. I have the Righteous Butter and it's one of the best moisturisers I've ever used, and I've tried a fair few in my time. It smells incredibly, absorbs really well and leaves the skin so silky smooth. It comes in at £10 a tub, the brand isn't cheap so I thought this set of 6 crackers containing all their different shower gels was perfect to split up and give as individual gifts. They have a huge selection of gift boxes and current;y have 3 for 2 across all their products in Boots at the moment.
I'm a complete stationary whore- I can't get enough of the stuff so when I came across the Oh Deer site, I was all kinds of excited. I ordered 3 of their A4 ish sized notebooks. They're abut £5 each, the quality of the print is really nice and also the paper inside- there's nothing worse than cheap/flimsy feeling paper. These are also lovely little gifts for anyone who like making notes or goes to school/college/uiversity- they're just so pretty and useful of course!

Every girl loves a good nail varnish and O.P.I is probably one of the most renowned brands for nail products. Single bottles of O.P.I are on the pricey side but they have a lot of little gift sets this time of year and you know you will definitely get the quality with these, plus they're stocking sized and really cute. They could also be an excellent idea for a Secret Santa gift- depending on your budget.
I hope this little gift guide was somewhat useful and I haven't left it too late to post. All these brands are available for delivery and you should still be in time to order for Christmas but obviously check their Christmas delivery dates just in case.
