Luxury Christmas Gift Guide 2017

Whether you have a lot of people to buy for, or just a couple, it can be quite a hectic time to try and think of various presents to suit peoples needs, why do we put ourselves through so much stress? There are so many shops online and on the high street to find a range of gifts, from days out to luxury items for the home or to fit a person's hobby. I have put together a luxury gift guide for women, with some bits for men too, and an affordable gift guide (coming soon after this one) to fit everyone's budgets. People may prefer to buy a few smaller gifts than one big gift, so the affordable gift guide may come a little more useful to you. Obviously I have only selected a few bits and bobs from some categories but I thought there was a little something for all women in this, including a few personal favourites.

My Christmas Essentials & House Decorations

'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY FALALALALALALALALA! 

IT'S CHRISTMASSSSSS! 

Oh my favourite time of year is here and it's finally starting to look like Christmas in the house, as well as outside...it's snowed?! In fact, we have had hardly any snow but about 10 minutes away it was like snow had exploded everywhere - it was very weird and I swear we're one of the only towns who didn't have proper snow, you know where it actually stays for more than 10 minutes!!

Christmas in Shanghai

Shanghai Christmas will never compare to Christmas back home. However, a few friends and I have made the most of keeping ourselves in the Christmas spirit by travelling around Shanghai to find Christmas markets, shops, events, parties and more. Even though it isn't England, and we aren't with our families, we are not being grumpy and sad about it, we are trying to keep it as Christmassy and happy as any other Christmas. I think this is actually the first Christmas I have spent away from my parents. When I say that, it actually makes me feel very homesick, which I have been feeling a bit of lately, but I am travelling down to Hong Kong to spend it with my friends family so at least I am taking a break from Shanghai and have a sense of home from them.
