as christmas is approaching, i realised that you guys probably need present inspo and so i compiled a list of the presents that i want for christmas (and my birthday bc it’s dec 11th). there’s an assortment of prices, styles and categories so hopefully you get inspired if you’re like me normally and stumped for ideas!

1) Black Rib-tie cardigan from Monki, £20

a gorgeous, chic, simple, urban oufitters-esque top that you’ve definitely seen before while scrolling through pinterest. it simplicity allows it to be thrown on with any bottoms and make an outfit look stylish and put together.

2) Gucci Memoire d’une odeur, 100ml £92

we all desire that one signature scent. that one perfume that reminds people of you. well this year, Gucci came out with a stunning, tender, musky scent, with white floral undertones, which i absolutely adore. and not to mention, the vintage bottle is simply gorgeous.

3) Navy Le Pliage backpack, Longchamp £70

we all need a pretty little backpack to throw our must-haves in when we’re in a rush. Longchamp paired their signature understated chic with practical while creating this bag, making it a must have. This bag is the perfect size and adds a little parisian chic to your outfit of the day.

4) Diamante Crystal Hoop Earrings, Urban Outfitters, £14

these dainty little hoops are just perfect and timeless. ive given them to friends before and they absolutely love them!

5) Super Spot Remover Blemish treatment gel, Origins £16

as a teen, i breakout. although i don’t have acne, i often get random stubborn pimples in the middle of my face, which are so aggravating. My friend recommended this to me in the summer and i sampled some at an Origins store in nyc but i never got round to buying it so i thought why not slap it on my birthday list.

6) Ohh Deer x Urban Outfitters daily planner £14.95 ohhdeer.com

what better way to start the new year than with a new planner. for me, planners help me feel organised and feel productive, which give me a positive mindset to study with, also not very expensive, this book is a good present for that friend who’s always on the ball.

7) Levi’s 501 crop jeans in black, £95 Levi’s

the amount of time i have spent scrolling the internet, looking for the perfect pair of mom jeans is unreal. these jeans are perfect, the perfect fit, wash and they just feel so well made. but, these jeans do have a hefty price so i wont be holding out hope.

8) coach zip card case, coach £60

this classic card holder is elegant and sleek. i urgently need a new purse and this one is inexpensive and chic.

9) black align leggings Lululemon £88

everyone needs a basic pair of comfy leggings and being the basic girl i am, lululemon is my go to. i know that they are so popular but they are a wardrobe staple and an investment piece. i know the price is a slight drawback but it seems worth it?

10) La Roche-Posay Effaclar Anti-Blemish Clay Mask, 100ml £14

i have heard nothing but pure praise for this face mask, and at £14 who can complain? its the perfect balance between cheap and good quality which is what makes it such a popular product, it was even featured in a Harper’s Bazaar article. La Roche-Posay is a relatively new brand who have recently gained a lot of attention for their excellent products and i am excited to give this a go.

thank you for reading this blog post! i tried to have a mix of expensive and inexpensive items so you guys could pick whichever you liked! my next blog post is probably going to be about mental health, which will not have the same happy aura to it so stay tuned for a different type of piece. i’ll try and get it up asap but i’m quite busy tomorrow so no promises! see u soon
