Last Minute Gift Ideas

Last minute shopping is a concept that fills me with dread, except I do understand that for some people it is a necessity to shop this way. I, however, have become traumatised by years of my father taking me Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve in Glasgow. This is something I never wish to ever experience ever again.

Now that I’ve rambled on (it’s a bad habit and I apologise for it) I’ll get to actually sharing the last minute gift ideas that were sent to me by Boots.

(L-R) No7 Brushes | Champneys Harmonious Hands, Hand Cream | Soap and Glory Merry Kiss Much Gloss Sticks

No7 Brushes

These three brushes are the perfect size for fitting in my handbag and the purse is great for popping in a clutch on a night out. The best part of this set is the fact that it comes with a gift card which is an invitation to receive a match made consultation and take home your perfect lipstick shade worth £9.95.

Champneys Hand Cream

I get very dry skin and am always on the lookout for a new hand cream to try. This is the smaller 40ml size which is perfect for carrying around in my handbag. The added bonus is that it contains SPF 15 which although not much of an issue in Scotland in Winter, will come in handy when it gets warmer and sunnier again.

Soap and Glory Gloss Sticks

Soap and Glory is a brand which I had heard for years but due to allergies had never been able to try. The makeup range is a different story and these are fab. I’m already addicted to the nude shade and the pink will be fab when I need something more adventurous. I’m unsure of the darker shade on my skin tone but if you’re buying for someone who’s more adventurous than me then it’ll be the perfect addition to their Christmas present.

Do you have any last minute Christmas shopping suggestions?

Leave me a comment or pop me a tweet.
