I love shopping for Christmas presents, but it can be a bit of a mare when you're trying to sort out gifts they’ll actually use, rather than something that’ll end up as a passed on present the Christmas following. This year, I've managed to get everything organized (sod the Christmas Eve mad dash), by doing the majority of my shopping at McArthurGlen  East Midlands Designer Outlet . Life. Made. Easier. With a whole load of loverrrly brands (Kurt Geiger, Calvin Klein, French Connection were a few ‘eeep’ inducing stores), there’s plenty of options for picking up something special this Christmas. For Nannas I find older people the hardest to buy for. As bad as it sounds, buying for someone who has had 70 years worth of Christmas presents is tough! Within reason, they’ve pretty much had everything. With my Nanna, I tend to go for a classic present… she has no desire to be learning how to use an iPod at 80. I went for accessories, finding ...

I’ve been reading everyone’s Chistmas posts & loving all the festive pictures! I’m a bad blogger, I’ll have to wait while next year now. This post was actually meant for yesterday, but I was so exhausted I thought it would be better to write it today.. you could have ended up with a load of crazy tired talk. I thought I’d show you a few of my presents because I know I love having a peak at what other people got! I’m a tiny bit nosey, I can’t help it! My main presents were my beautiful new docs from my ma & pa & the world’s snuggliest coat from the boyfriend. They all did so well this year! I’m a bit worried about my new shoesies as I’ve heard so many people say that the ...
