Last Minute Christmas Gift Guide for Him

I am back with another gift guide, but today it is for him over £20. I have 13 categories for you. So, lets get cracking.

Starting with

Slippers 

I have picked a pair from Uggs, these are the Olsen Slippers which cost £ 95. Ugg slippers are one of the most amazing luxurious slippers ever and they are so cosy as well.

Shirt

You can go two ways, either you can go for the formal work shirt or go for the casual weekend shirt. I thought I would go down the casual route. By picking this Hugo Boss shirt  costing £159.

Tablets and Phones

I was so exited by Apple's new releases that I could not include them in my gift guide. The first product is the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus.  The price ranges from £539-£789. Another gift is the new iPad Air 2 which is amazing, prices range from £399-£659.

Camera 

I have picked two cameras. This is the prefect gift for anyone who is into photography or wants to start making Youtube Videos, or they just enjoy taking photos. The first one is a DSLR and there are lots to choose from, but the one I picked is the Nikon D5300. It takes breathtaking photos and great quality videos. It comes in at a price of £622.35. But if you don't want to spend so much money and don't want to compromise on the quality of your photos and videos then the Nikon 1 J4 produces beautiful photos and videos, but is smaller and cheaper costing £399. 

Grooming Kits 

There are so many companies that make grooming kits, so there is a huge of choice out there. But today I have two choices, the first one is the Grooming Essentials Kit costing £25 and the next one is Shaving Set costing £45

Remote Controlled Toy 

No matter how old a man is, they will enjoy a remote controlled toy. So, I had to include one in my gift guide. This Quadcopter which also record videos. £49.99 .

Fragrance 

I have picked two fragrances the first one is the YSL L'homme perfume £50 and my other pick is the Dior Homme perfume £79. 

Accessories

I have a selection of wallets and bags that I think would make a good gift. For wallets I would recommend Mulberry and Mont Blanc. For bags I have three brands to recommend. The first one is Mulberry: they do amazing leather products, that are on the pricier side. The second brand I would recommend is Cambridge Satchel, they have really lovely leather products that are not too pricey. My last option is Herschel which have really cool trend stuff and is cheaper. 

Headphone. 

I wanted to pick something a bit different that Beats. I still think Beats are great, but I have picked the Aedle Vk1 Classic, this headphones look amazing and trendy. Costing £299.99 they are on the pricier side for headphones. 

Watches 

This is quite a personal category as it depends a lot on the person, but I can recommend Emporia Armani watches. Selfridges has an amazing range of watches, costing from £20-£8100 having something for everyone. 

Cufflinks  

I also think cufflinks are very personal depending on what the person likes. Again Selfridges has a wide variety of cufflinks with prices from £25 to £7150, so there is something for everyone. 

Fitness Bands  

Fitness bands are becoming very popular which is great. and I think they would make the perfect gift for Christmas. There are lots to chose from, but I picked the Jawbone Up. They look great and work really well. 

Pen

This is a more expensive gift and something very practical. The pen I would recommend is a Mont Blanc pen. This luxury pens are so good and will last for years. They have a range of styles and types of pens from ink pens to ballpoint. Something for everybody. Price range from £150 -£6,400.

Those are all my gift recommendations. If they weren't enough for you then you can check out last year's gift guide here. If you want some ideas for gifts for her then I will link the blog post here. 

I hope you are all having an amazing week.

Christmas Gift Guide for Her

Christmas is on its way and I am pumped. Last year's gift guide was very successful, so I am bringing it back. I am starting it off with the gift guide for her. I decided to do it a bit differently this year and it wouldn't be the same as last year. If you want to go and check out last year's post then I will have a link here. This year I have 15 categories and a few extras. This gift guide will be for gifts over £20. . Now, lets get started.

Skincare. 

I picked the Elemis Beauty Wonder coming in at £39.50. I think this is a great skincare product. The set comes with a cleanser,toner, day and night cream. Perfect if you are not sure if she wears make up. Also comes with a nice package.

I thought I would also include an electronic skincare device. Last year I mentioned the Clarisonic which I still think is great. This year I wanted to mention the Foreo Luna which also comes as a mini version. This is a new product that would be great for anyone who loves beauty. The price ranges from £99-£145.

Body care 

This gift is perfect for anybody who loves a bit of pampering. For this I picked the Laura Mercier Body and Bath Luxe Quartet. This comes as a range of different scents and the gift set contains a body mist, body cream, scrub and honey bath. Perfect for a pamper evening, coming in a price of £55. 

For something cheaper that is also amazing I picked the Soap and Glory The Soapremes which comes with a shower gel, body butter, body scrub, hand cream, foot cream, fuzzy socks and a luffa. All costing £20. Great value! 

Another brand that makes amazing gift sets for Christmas is The Body Shop. This year I picked the Frosted Cranberry Tin Of Delights which comes with a Body Polish, Body Mist, Lip balm, Body butter and luffa. All costing £25. 

Make Up

There are so many make up Christmas gift sets, but I wanted to pick something that wasn't that popular. My first make-up pick is the perfect palette. It is the Guardian Petrouchka Palette. The palette comes with 5 eye shadows and 4 blushes. It is absolutely stunning. Costing £56. 

Another amazing set it the Clinique Party Pretty set.  The set has a 6 pan eyeshadow palette, a chubby stick, a mascara, eye cream, eyeliner, nail polish and a makeup bag. All for £50. Amazing gift for someone just starting with make-up and also a safe present because there is no need to colour match foundations. 

Last in the makeup category but definitely no the least, is the most amazing make up gift you could give anyone, but also the most expensive costing £200. This is the Charlotte Tilbury Supermodel Video Box Makeup Set . This set comes with mascara, lip liner, eye liner, blush, lip stick, lip gloss and eye shadow quad. To top it all off, it has a video installed in the box where Charlotte herself talks you through how to create a look, using the products in the the set. 

Nail Polish

I have picked 2 products for nail polish: my first one is the Formula X Paint Tower which comes with 22 mini nail polishes, and is also exclusive to Sephora. Costing $39.

My next pick is the OPI Nail Lacquers Trend On Ten which comes with 10 nail polishes ranging from light to dark colours. Costing £26.95. 

Hair

For this category I have picked some products from GHD because they have amazing products and recently just released a new range of Curling wands. So, whether you pick a straighter or a curling wand they are great quality. Prices range from £99-£145. 

Jewellery 

For jewellery I picked the Monica Vinader Friendship Bracelet , costing between £75 and £2500. This could be a great gift to a friend and look really nice and elegant. They come in a wide range of colours and styles. 

Handbag

I have picked 3 handbags with a range of different prices. I am going to start with the most expensive which is the Givenchy Antigona handbag costing £1,250. This is an amazing luxury product perfect for any bag lover that you know. It comes in a range of colours, but it you want to be safe stick to black or nude. 

Next I have a slightly cheaper bag from Philip Lim. It is their Mini Pashil Satchel costing £545. This is a cute small cross body bag. Make sure you stick to safe colours unless you know want colour the person you are buying for wants. 

Last bag selection is perfect if you are not willing to spend so much money on a bag, but you still want to buy her something special. So, for this category I would recommend you check out Rebecca Minkoff handbags. Prices range from $142-$445. So, there is something for everyone. 

Purses 

If you want to buy someone a designer present which is not to expensive then Kate Spade is the prefect place. Prices range from £40-£205. They have something for everyone. 

Key Holders 

This gift is something more original, something that not everyone will think of buying for someone. It is very practical as most people will have keys and they will probably really like this gift. There are so many key holders out there, but the one I think most people will love is this one from Prada. It comes in a range of different colours and costs £150. 

Watches

For this category I have two brands which I think have a huge selection of watches to choose from and most women will love them. The first bands in Marc Jacobs which has really fun and modern watches, with prices ranging from £135-£329. Another brand which has a different take on watches is Kate Spade, with prices ranging from £150-£250. 

Now moving on to the technology. 

Tablets and Phones

I was so exited by Apple new releases that I could not include them in my gift guide. The first product is the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus.  The price ranges from £539-£789. Another gift is the new iPad Air 2 which is amazing, prices range from £399-£659.

But if you don't want to spend so much money and don't want to compromise on the quality of your photos and videos then the Nikon 1 J4 produces beautiful photos and videos, but is smaller and cheaper costing £399. 

Headphones 

I love headphones and I think they are a great gift for anybody and today I have two different type of headphones for you. The first are the Frend Headphones. They are super stylish and trendy, costing £179. The second pair is Beats Solo HD costing £139.95. These headphones have amazing sound quality and also look cool.

Jo Malone 

I had to include something from Jo Malone as I think they make amazing products. I have two sets, but I would recommend any of their products. They range from perfumes to candles. My first set is the Jo Malone Christmas Cracker costing £32, perfect for anyone new to the brand. A more expensive present is the Jo Malone Aromatic Indulgences £108 or the Jo Malone Iconic scents £76.

Last, but not least I have a gift which would fit in any of the categories and is a magazine subscription. This cost around £35 for 12 issues and your can pick and magazine you think the person would like. 

That is it for this gift guide. I hope it was helpful and I will see you a  very soon for my gift guide for him. I have three more gift guides coming up very soon.

Update

Hey Guys,

I wanted to do this post to update you on a few things such as the blogging schedule.

From now on I will be posting a new post very other Wednesday (basically every two weeks). This will only be temporary as I have a lot going on at the moment. So, I will have one monthly look and another post. I know this may seem very little, but I will get back to my regular posting in a few months time and I will still have the usual fun posts.

Next thing I want to point out is that Becky's Blog has a Twitter account, and you can go follow it @Beckysblog13

Finally Becky's Blog is also on Bloglovin. If you don't know what Bloglovin is, its this website where you have a feed of all of your favorite blogs, so it basically an Instagram for Blogs.

Thats all for now.

Thanks for the understanding.

Becky's Theater Review - The Book Of Mormon

Today I have another review for you guys, but the difference is, it's a Theatre review. I have never done a musical review on by blog before, but essentialy it's the same as a book or film review. I am going to review for you a musical that I think most people have heard about, The Book Of Mormon.

I went to see this musical with few of my friends. None of us knew what the show would be about, we all presumed that it would have something to do with the Mormon religion, but that was about as far as our knowledge went.  We wanted to go and see it as it has won so many awards and everybody we knew who had seen it said it was amazing. 

So what is it about?

I don't want to spoil the whole show so I am going to tell you the very brief plot.

The story is based on two missionary Elder Kevin Price and Elder Arnold Cunningham. Elder Price is the best in his class of Missionary and very good looking while Elder Cunningham is a nerd and a compulsive lier. They are send to Uganda despite Elder Prices wishes to go to Orlando. They are send to Uganda to convert as many people as they can to the Mormon Religion. 

From there the story develops. This is the very brief plot, but I don't want to spoil the performance for you. 

Thoughts and feelings about the performance. 

OMG can we just take a minute to appreciate how funny this musical is. I have never ever laughed so much in a musical. It was hysterically funny. The plot was really different, but very good, the songs were funny and catchy. I came out of the musical wanting to see it again right there and then. It something you will not forget. 

I would like to put out there that this performance does contain strong language and is unsuitable for young children. Most websites recommend that this performance is unsuitable for under 18s. So, just as a guidance for you guys. 

I will leave you with this. 

Have an amazing rest of the week and I will see you all very soon.

Summer Trilogy- Summer Essentials

Welcome to the last part in my summer trilogy. If you haven't checked out the last two instalments in the trilogy then here are the link and link. Today I have put together a list of 10 summer essentials. No matter what you are doing this will come in handy.

1. Suncream.

Everybody says how important it is to use it. If you've ever had a sunburn your will know how unpleasant it is. I have a few suncream I like. The first one is great to take with you during the day to top up your suncream, Nivea Protect & Spray. This come in SPF 20 or 30. Then a great suncream to use if you are already burnt or are starting to burn is the La Roche Posay Suncream. Last, but not least my favourite suncream to use at the beginning of the day is the Korres sun care range. They feel amazing on the skin as they use yogurt which makes it very smooth and lovely on your skin. Korres also has an amazing after sun range.

2. Thermal Water 

I have just discover this year the water aerosols and they have come in so handy. Whenever you feel hot or sweaty then just spritz some thermal water all over and you feel super refreshed and cooled down. It's also great when you have a sunburn, as it has a cooling effect. I love them to bits, they have been very useful during the summer months . My favourite is the Eau Thermal Avene Thermal water spray, but there are plenty of other brands that do similar products. 

3. Sunglasses 

I love sunglasses. They come so handy during the summer, not only do they protect your eyes from the sun, but they also can be a fashion statement.  You don't have to stick to only one pair of sunglasses. One great thing is that you can find sunglasses to suit your budget and needs. I know that some of you wear spectacles. You could use contact lenses with the sunglasses, but you could have prescription sunglasses. 

4. Summer Nail Polish 

For me summer screams bright and pastel colours. I have a blog post on my top summer colours and here is a link to it. If you want to buy some summer colours lots of brands create sets with mini summer nail polish sets. Brands like Essie and Opi always have them. I love how a bright nail polish, gets you in a summer mood. 

5. Summer Lip Colours. 

When I think of summer lip colours I think of bright fun colours. My favourite is coral, pink and orange, but it all depends on your skin tone. If you what some help finding your perfect lip colour I recommend going to a make-up counter and getting some advice.

6. Water/ Refreshing Drinks. 

It is very important during the summer to stay hydrated. Water is the healthiest thing to drink, but lemonade and infused water is also good. You could also make ice tea or coffee. I will post a summer drinks blog in the next couple of weeks. 

7. Bikini 

Even if you are not going to go to the pool or on the beach this summer this does not stop you from sunbathing. So, pick out a cute bikini and get sunbathing. I love the Victoria Secret and Pink swim wear, go and check it out. 

8. Ice Cream 

Ice cream is a summer staple for me. So, I had to include this in my summer essentials. I recommend  frozen yogurt as well as ice cream; anything cold is good. 

9. Tote Bag

Whether you are going to the beach or not a tote bag is vital. It can be used as a beach/pool bag or an everyday bag. A must have in everybody's wardrobe. 

10. Waterproof Make up

Even if you are no where near the beach/pool you will most likely get a bit sweaty, so waterproof make up is crucial, anywhere from mascara to foundation. 

Okay guys so those are all of my summer essentials ! 

I will see you all next week 

Becky xoxo
