Stuck what to get a family member or friend for Christmas? Here I have put together some gift ideas to give you some inspiration. Ranging from beauty, books, cosy winter wear and much more.

30 mini liquid lipsticks from NYX's Lingerie collection. These lipsticks are creamy & lightweight. A firm favourite of mine. This gift set is a great way to experiment with colours and see what shades suits you best. Contains six new shades. I recently got given this for my Birthday and I love it!

Ready Player One is a perfect novel for those who like gaming and/or 80's nostalgia. The story is set in a bleak world in the future in the year 2044 where almost everyone on earth is plugged into a reality world called the OASIS. When the creator of the OASIS dies, a prize to takeover the entire company ensues. Riddles & clues are released to find the hidden keys when eventually all collected, wins the OASIS empire. I am two thirds the way through this book and I love all the 80's film, games and TV references which reminds me a little of Stranger Things. This is an utterly brilliant read and will have you hooked. Suitable for all ages. Buy it for someone this Christmas before the Steven Spielberg film is released next year.
Before The Fall is a story about how everyone came to be on a plane that crashed and why it crashed in the first place. It's written by Noah Hawley who also writes the Fargo TV series (if you've never seen it, do so! All three series are brilliant) . If you've watched the series you'll know there is always a lot of plot twists and shocks involved. This novel will no doubt be the same, that's why this is on the top of my Christmas list.

Give someone a Stranger Things Christmas. Dustin's cap & the lunchbox are from Topshop. Check out their collection. A lot has sold out but there are a few items like the above left. The three figurines are from Forbidden Planet. They come in two sets. One with Mike, Lucas & Eleven and the other with Will, Dustin & Demogorgon. I reckon these item will be worth something in years to come.

Cosy accessories make a wonderful present in Winter. This scarf from Hobbs is on trend this season with it's red checks. A pop of colour to jus up your winter coat. Has a fringe edging for a casual finishing touch. 
I like that this hat from Miss Selfridge is slightly different from your usual bobble hat.  Instead it has a floppy top finished with a fluffy pom pom.

Two different price points.  If you want to spoil someone this Christmas but cannot quite afford a Mulberry handbag then one of their purses is a great alternative. Has all the card slots and a zip pocket so you don't lose all your coins, luxury leather with a nappa  interior finished with the Mulberry signature postman's lock. John Lewis has a cheaper version that looks very similar, a great size for the new £5 & £10 notes and comes in 9 different colours.

These candles smell amazing. I have the gingerbread one and it smells good enough to eat. They have a special wick that when lit, you will hear the soothing sound of a crackling fire.  Woodwick candles use only natural components mixed with wax, never any harsh artificial ingredients. This would make a stunning, cosy gift this Christmas. Boots have a 3 for 2 offer on.
