Gift Wrapping | Blogmas 17!

19th December 2019 Be first to comment

Pin It

As all who know me will say, I take great pride in gift wrapping and overall thought. I love buying gifts for others and I love being creative with the way I present them. I will always take good care when wrapping, using ribbons, string, stickers, candy canes and decorative accessories.
I absolutely love giving. Buying people gifts brings me so much joy. I find solace in immersing myself in creative gift wrapping as it gets my thinking about pretty things, making others happy and really gets me into the festive spirit. There is nothing more festive than wrapping presents whilst having a Christmas film on and a homemade rich hot chocolate next to you!

The images and information below is super similar to my BlogmasWithBOA Secret Santa post so check that out if you’d like to know more!

Adding some thought to your gift wrap!

Something I love to do is personalise my recipients gifts by writing little notes on them with hints to the gift or how it can be part of their lives. So as you can see here I included a gift for ‘a little bit of self love’. This was a little add on to make the person smile and look forward to what’s inside. It also shows how much thought goes into even the simplest of gifts. I like to create hampers as such as it’s so warming, thoughtful and fun!

Wonderful touches!

I absolutely love adding a personal touch to my gifts by putting some homemade pompoms and such in the gift box or bag along with some pretty tissue wrap to make it even nicer to look at! 

Another little touch I add which I may be called weird for is… perfume! 
I sometimes if necessary and possible spray my gifts before wrapping them so that when they open them they will smell gorgeous! It’s just something I started doing one day and have carried on hehe!

One thing I started doing years ago is adding in some positivity cards from a gift I received about 6 years ago. It was a set of 'ask and it will happen' cards and I fell in love with using them for a part of gifts I give to people I love! It is a beautiful way of reminding them to be happy, positive and to stay wonderful. As you can see I have also started popping in a Coppafeel business and awareness card to spread awareness of looking after your boobies!

Gifting homemade goodies!

Each year I made a tonne of goodies and wrap them up for people. These little boxes below are actually homemade treats I made last year and took up to my local news agents and nail shop. They were so grateful and I just love making others happy!

Each year I bake in bulk and use cellophane and ribbon to create little treat bags. I put these in gift bags and send them out with my friends, family and neighbours gifts. It's something I love doing since a lot of people throughout the year ask me for sweet treats I bake. Why not add a little extra love.

Simplistic gift wrap

Gift wrapping is so much fun and is so versatile to each individuals liking and time. For those who aren’t into wrapping, you can make a gift lovely by simply just choosing some great wrapping paper and tags. If you’re like me and love making the gifts pop and look fab, look at the little selection! I love using many different types, colours and patterns of string and some bows to add on top. I will also include some candy canes too sometimes or gift toppers like mini baubles. The creative side is endless!

Happy gift wrapping!

Stay wonderful!

One of my favourite feel good outfits from March 🥰 It was chilly but sunny so I took the opportunity to pop on a lovely @sheinofficial polka dot dress and @nastygal glitter jumper with my all time fave cardigan also from Nasty Gal! 

I've definitely noticed the power of colour recently and the positive impact clothing has on us when we use them right. 

When I say 'use them right' I mean:

* Wearing clothes that make us feel good

* Using clothing to set the mood for the day for example; A work day, a night out, date night or a cosy day in

* Using colours to help our minds - There is something psychological about colour which I find fascinating!

* Wearing clothes that we don't feel insecure in. Creating a wardrobe where everything fits how we like and we don't have any anxiety about 'losing weight to fit into it'

Fashion is like makeup. It gives us the freedom to express ourselves and embrace our bodies and personalities! 

Some of my fave fashionistas:

@meganellaby 
@inthefrow 
@molliemunroquirk 
@bykatieeve 
@plussizeabi 
@imlaurengreen 
@poppyadams 
@chloeincurve_ 

So many more but I'll save them for another day 🌻

Just a friendly reminder that we all have messy ha Just a friendly reminder that we all have messy hair and slow mornings most days!

Let your natural hair flow, your natural skin shine and your mind go through it's emotions without self judgement.

Take the day as slow or fast as you need. 

Take a non uniform day and get cosy with your feet up on the sofa

Take a day without makeup if you like

Binge on your fave TV shows or dive into a good book for one chapter (or two or three or four...or five)

You're human. Not everything has to be perfect and straight. Do what you gotta do.

Happiness, Lifestyle and all things wonderful.
I always say that the most important thing in life is happiness, therefore that is what I'd like to share.
I'm an honest, kind and happy person who loves sharing my experiences and real stories to help others like me realise they are not alone in this huge world.
I'm a huge supporter of mental health and body positivity and believe we can change the way society is about these topics together.
Just a small girl in a big world trying to be happy!

This is a very difficult experience for me. I have a qualification in professional music and was in a band gigging and singing professionally. It was and is my life but when my mental health went down hill, so did my confidence in myself. I stopped singing publicly and lost faith in rekindling my love for it but now here I am. 

I'm a little rusty and out of practise but here it is. My first singing video.
