Wondering what to get your Friends for Christmas?

Every Christmas, it is always a struggle to find things to buy your family and friends so here are some ideas:

1. A Cosy Kit:

I think a Cosy Kit is something really cute to get best friends because you could make it really cute by giving each other matching slippers, socks and some personalised items. You could put some lip balms, hand creams face masks or even a hot chocolate sachet and a packet of marshmallows. This doesn't have to been expensive at all because at the moment there are a lot of sales and there is also stores like Primark which are actually good products for a cheaper price. You could also put in some bathing products; bath bombs, bubble, bath salts etc. You could then put all of it wrapped individually and in either a Christmas box or a gift bag or in a stack with a ribbon round or if you just got some lip balms, socks and hand cream you could put it in a jar and tie a ribbon round.

     2.  Inside Joke:

So, all friendships have jokes which every time you say them you both cry with laughter. A good present idea would be too find something which relates too an inside joke. for example: if you have an inside joke about doughnuts I know that in Topshop they have a glittery 3D doughnut decoration which would be perfect. If you got a phew doughnut themed presents and pop it in a cute gift bag.

     3. Indoor Furnishings:

A good conversation starter and present idea is to ask your friend what their dream bedroom would look like and what they would change and what cushions and soft furnishings they would have, the colour of the room etc. And then make it your mission to find something they would like in their dream bedroom. for example: if they want a cottagey sort of feel with leather and white sheets with sheepskin rugs and fur, then a good idea might be to get them a white duvet with a one or two faux fur cushions and a fluffy blanket.

     4. Christmas Essential Gifts:

I absolutely LOVE Christmas and December so Christmas essentials for me might be different to others but I feel that everyone needs: a Christmas jumper, decorations and of course the smell of Christmas EVERY WHERE...  so you  could make a little Christmas package and get a Christmas jumper,some tinsel and a Christmas candle or bath bomb or diffuser. And then top it with a really festive Christmas card.

     5. Favourite Things:

If our friends have a favourite thing then you should get them that but if it is something you can't  afford then find something that represents it which is cheaper: for example they love Disney then instead of buying something from Disney stores just go to Primark and buy them some Disney clothes from there which is a lot cheaper.

     6. Homemade gifts:

Homemade gifts can be either bakes, stitched or painted. I am not very good at painting at all but sewing and baking I am good enough at to make gifts. This year I am planning on making some salted caramel chewies for everyone in my class which will take the whole day to bake but they are mostly heating in a pan and then putting in the fridge.(if you want a recipe comment below and I will make it my next post) A few Christmas's' ago I made my brother a Christmas jumper with bells and 3D glasses. You don't have to make something like this you could make some gingerbread men or you could stitch a little Christmas tree with bells as baubles and some glittery ribbon as tinsel etc.


So here are 6 ideas which you could do for your friends for Christmas.  If you do any of these ideas send me a picture on twitter: @maybe_i_am_dot
