DIY Christmas Gifts

Hey everyone,

As Christmas is fast approaching I thought I'd share a few cheap gift ideas with you, which are perfect if you want to add a personal touch.

DIY T-shirt Scarf:
The first  idea is one I found over the summer but now that its winter, I think it still make a lovely gift. I really like this idea because you really get creative with the colours and styles you use, with t-shirts you already own!

DIY Inspiration Jar:
The next idea is another DIY, this one is super cheap and simple to make. I think this idea is really special because we could all do with some words sometimes to lift our spirits and to put things into prospective.

The idea is you roll up your favourite quotes onto a piece of paper and each day or whenever needed you can take one out and its like a little pieces of inspiration. Top it off with ribbon or label to make it look pretty and your done.

Painted Mug:
Last idea is another DIY! Well if you want save cash this is how it has to be! I really like one because you don't need a lot, so doesn't cost a lot. 

Just a plain mug (about a £1 or less), Oil based paint pens, Scrap book stickers (if that is the design your going for) and an Oven. Pinterest has plenty of design ideas if you wanted to get a but more jazzy.

Depending on what you have lying around at home all these ideas should be less £5, which is pretty cool considering how customised and unique they can be.

I hope these cheap Christmas gift ideas have helped.

Christmas Jumper Day

Hi everyone,

Its that time of year, were we all cosy up wearing hats, scarves and of course jumpers!

Today is Christmas Jumper Day (#xmasjumperday).

That's right, those brightly coloured winter beauties need to come out! Whether yours is homemade or shop brought, you can wear them with pride for a good cause. If your in the UK you may have already noticed the sudden array of knitwear.

I decided to change things up a bit and went for the blue, plus this was the only jumper I could find that fit my extra long arms lol. It wasn't from anywhere in particular just a random stall, but the price and quality was good.

All of this is in aid of Save the Children. Your money could pay for nine sachets of oral re-hydration treatment for children suffering from deadly diarrhoea. To find out more about Save the Children be sure to check out the website http://www.savethechildren.org.uk Text WOOLLY to 70050 to donate £1.

Hope your well.

Take care x

Blessed

Hi everyone,

Just thought I’d do a quick post to say Merry Christmas and I hope you all have wonderful day. Filled with lots of laughter and love because we are all truly blessed to make it through the year. And it’s important to remember and recognize God is good.

King me!

Hi Guys,

Brrr! it’s getting cold!

Remember in my last post I mentioned Amazon were having an amazing sale well look at these bad boys, ' A Game of Thrones: The Story Continues: A Song of Ice and Fire'. I’ve been wanting to read this for a while, I even refused to watch the show (now showing on Sky Atlantic) until I at last read the first book.

The delivery was super fast too :D

Yes I do realize how geeky I must seem lol, but seriously this was a bargain, normally this book set would be £39.99 but no way am I paying that much for a book! this was only £14.49 *yay!* bear in mind that there are five books in the box.

So pretty, so colorful, I'm so happy

Although someone did bring up a valid point 'why don't you just buy a Kindle?'...*kmt!!!*. They are absolutely right it would save space, (because book quickly grow from small pile to stack on the floor), paper and just general luggage in my bag! oh well, this doesn't take away the fact I am happy with what I have. Maybe after Christmas I’ll see what my finances are like and what not. 

So how about you, any books, TV series or movies that you would recommended?

Well better rap up this post Kyz is screaming to go for his walk, laters! 

Black Friday

Hey guys,

Remember I said I’d let you know about any bargains or money savers, well I nearly forgot all about ‘Black Friday’. Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. I know what you are thinking ‘that’s great for the US, but what about the rest of us?’.

Fear not people Amazon and Comet offering a 5 day spectacular, there are also rumors with Apple but I’m not sure about that. Basically it a limited quantity of products being offered at a discount for a short period of time. Both start from 25^th November and apparently you could save some serious £££s.

Also Foot Locker are offering 30% off from the 24^th- 27^th November, print off the VIP pass from their Facebook page

That’s all I’ve find so far but I’ll let you if I see anything else. 

Hope your having a good day and Happy Thanksgiving :)
