Holy moly.... it is nearly here!
But don't fret, if you're anything like me and haven't finished your festive shopping just yet I'm here today with a great collection of bits and bobs that will have the loves in your life smiling from ear to ear. (or something to treat yourself too.... either or!)
It's not too late to get ordering after all...

First up - how bloomin' beautiful is this Magnitone brush*. Yes I'm sure you have all heard of these wonder facial brushes before.... but how about a Rose Quartz one? 
This brush is part of the Limited Edition Magnitone Precious Collection. The perfect gadget gift for that special female in your life!
 These Daily Cleansing Brushes are all about getting naturally radiant, beautifully conditioned skin -  they effectively eliminates excess oils, dead skin cells, pesky makeup and impurities from pores all whilst toning and improving the absorption of your favourite skincare products #winning!
100% waterproof this little facial gem is designed for use in the bath and shower - making life even easier for us lazy skin routine avoiders!
Energising the skin and boosting micro-circulation this device is literally like a mini personal trainer for your face - I cannot recommed it enough.
Plus this version is now only £60 AND comes with it's own USB charger and travel pouch - perfect for a girl on the go!

All hail the ghds and this perfect platinum limited edition copper luxe* pair (£155)!
Paired alongside 2 fantastically festive Nails Inc polishes in a gorgeous carry case (see here) this set is more than enough to impess that beauty babe, hair lover in your life! I have had my boring black ghd's for 13 years now and I am SO thrilled to have a pretty new pair to brighten up my beauty stash, and locks! Keep your eyes on my blog to see more on these before the end of the year!

Tropic Skincare are a new brand to me - I've been trying lots of their bits and bobs out over the last few weeks and I have been enjoying everything from make-up sponges to shower washes! This however is not something to put on my face or body... obviously - this is Tropic Skincare's first ever candle - SIGNATURE* (£40).
This candle is made with 100% nautral soy wax and is inspired by the brands signature scents. The smell to me is so relaxing but also zesty and uplifting - it's the sort of product I can be imagine to be burnt whilst enjoying a nice refreshing facial.
Definitely one to be burnt whilst I'm working at home I'm sure this will help with getting my mind in the right place! #ConcentrateKirstie!

Nutella and a spoon ... need I say more? I feel in love with this as soon as I saw it! From present expert IJustLoveIt this engraved vintage tea spoon* (£13.99) is the perfect gift for the hazelnut spread lover, aka all of us! If you haven't gone to a jar of Nutella with a spoon yet.... have you even lived?

Another gorgeous pick from IJustLoveIt - this fantastic personalised Christmas bauble (£12.99) ! Presented in it's own golden tin these baubles are such a great idea for the family - each having their own name and year ready to pop on the tree as a tradition ever single year! Parent yourself - these are a great idea for children - giving them their very own spot on the tree from birth! 

It wouldn't be Christmas without a Soap & Glory set. S&G knock it out of the park each and every year with their fun packaging and amazing play on words with each product!
The Pink Pamper* (£18) is a big, beautiful bag is crammed with six super-indulgent mini products from the brand as well as a super handy body polisher (also knows as a poof in my house!).
With everything from face wash to heel cream these 'irresistibubble pamperstuffs' provide you quite literally, with top-to-toe indulgence.
Check out the whole soap and glory Christmas range - here.

Crimped/waved hair is on trend as much as it was in 1999 and there's now no need for overnight french plaits with Toni and Guy's Style Fix Waver*!
From the Style Fix Stylers range this handbag sized professional styling tool is perfect to get you hair ready whenever and wherever.
Designed to protect your hair & colour with the Ceramic Tourmaline plates, its unique Colour Lock Technology is developed to enhance shine, smooth hair follicles and lock in colour as you style.
This mini waver creates beachy, laid back waves,  volume and style for hair that needs a bit of oomph and with a high temp of 210C - they take no time at all! 

Last but not least the perfect home gift, again from ijustloveit.co.uk! 
This white distressed wall light* is bloomin' gorgeous - at only £14.99 each too these are the perfect product to really put a statement up in your home. Whether it be initials or even a word these battery powered subtle lights really do create a funny but chic look!

Not photographed....but - I am obsessed with my velvet sock boots from boohoo! I've only had them a week and I cannot stop wearing them - so comfy and such great quality - keep your eyes peeled for deals (as boohoo cannot get enough of them) before Christmas to grab a gorgeous fashion pick for yourself or maybe someone else!

Well there we go - some of my top picks for Xmas this year! 
Keep your eyes peeled if you're looking for presents on a small budget... stocking filler and secret santa finds are coming up shortly!

Personalised Picks From I Just Love It

My inner-child very much lives on the outer. You may have noticed by my un-dying love for Disney, Harry Potter obsession.... the amount of teddys I still own and keep on my bed that I still embrace all those  I love it.

I Just Love It is a site that I get lost in and their cute, kitsch bits, bobs and gift ideas always catch my eye!

I was recently sent a couple of bits from the brand and I have been really excited to share them on here for you all to see!

These two pieces may not interest you in the slightest and that is fair enough - sometimes I feel very different from the bloggers I read .... a little 'young minded' perhaps and I can imagine that a Disney doll is enough to make some of your eyes roll but I like it and that's what blogging is about - sharing you things you think and things you like, so ... yeah!

First up - the personalised Princess*. Belle has always been my favourite Disney princess and Beauty and The Beast my favourite Disney movie, obvs and how cute is this doll! 
The perfect present for any Disney-loving child (or adult!) - you can pick nearly any Princess and have a name embroidered onto the front of the dress!

Even my Mum loved this - it's so adorable.... plus it's great if you have more than one child wanting the same thing! 

The other item I was sent was the personalised version of The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz*. As you may have guessed by the name of my blog - I'm a bit of a huge a fan! 
These personalised books are such an amazing idea - especially, again, for children/families!
You can change any of the main characters name to anything you want - so obviously I changed Dorothy to Kirstie! Such a sweet idea - especially if the story has alot of meaning to yourself or whomever it may be for! There's loads to choose from including A Christmas Carol, The Wind In The Willows. Romeo & Juliet and Alice In Wonderland!

Make sure to head over IJLI and explore their never-ending gift ideas and homeware dreams!

I Just Love It - Personalised Heart Map

Okay you may have already seen this across all of my social media channels but I just couldn't wait to show it to you all.
I am literally in love with this personalised picture, the way it has turned is amazing and I've been dying with excitement to get it up on here for you all to see!

 I Just Love It are a fun and unique site full of amazing and creative things for you to have personalised.
 From Santa sacks to spoons theor range really is a never-ending list of things that me go ooooo and ahhhh and 'oh blah blah would LOVE that!'

When the guys at IJLI asked if I would like to pick something to review I was over the moon and although it probably took me a good day to decide on just one product I think I made a fantastic choice with it.

This is the framed personalised heart map - a gorgeous and chic wall art print perfect for any home.

Framed Personalised Heart Map*

Each map is individually made based on an address of your choice. As you can see I gave my home address which is in Ryde on the Isle Of Wight and it has come out perfectly.
 At first I asked if it was possible to have Disneyworld but right now they are only doing address' from the UK (totally understandable).

The map has completely captured one of my favourite places in the world - I have lived here all my life and truly love it - it is home and probably the only place I will ever count as my home.

These framed pictures are such an incredible gift idea (especially with Christmas coming up!) A first home, an engagement, a wedding day - you can pick any UK address plus a short message to have alongside it - as you can see mine says 'Home Sweet Home'.

You get the choice of a white or mahogany frame and it measures approx. 24cmx24cm.
The pieces are priced at £49.99 - which you may think is a little expensive but you can pay upto £20 or so for a decent frame nowadays plus you can really tell how much time and effort has gone into it....so in my opinion it's worth every penny!
To find out more about the frames, to see different styles or to go and ahead and order on yourself head on over to their website - here!
