Have you made your shopping list yet? Have you started planning your big day? If you are slowly getting onto it ( like me!), you have come to the right place! I have selected a few of my absolute favourite things from 2022 and compiled a fabulous gift guide to kickstart your festive gift-giving. But before I fill you in, can I first show you my brand-new Picnic basket from Harris Scarfe! It is an absolute favourite with its use of cane and gingham in my favourite shade of Green. I consider these baskets as one of my most loved gifts to give - we all love eating outdoors, and what is more special than packing a basket for your loved ones and heading out on an adventure? Nothing! And as we head into summer, this is one versatile gift that will be adored.
From fashion to homewares, handmade to gift cards - the first and most important thing you can start with is THE LIST! Keep a copy on your phone, a printout in your diary and even a list on the fridge because if you are anything like me, you possibly swap from that list when you see something super cute that a certain someone *has to have*! Take note of the stores you love and which ones may be a ‘one-stop shop’ and allow you to get through that list in one go, take note of which ones are online and even give yourself a cut-off shopping date so you can ensure all will arrive in time and most importantly give gifts that have multiple uses.

What are you wearing this Christmas?
It’s fair to say 2022 has been the year where I have obsessed over everything GREEN, so you can understand my excitement to be part of the ‘Light up the season’ campaign with Commonry this year! How fun is this outfit? This vibrant green set (an amazing shirt dress I’ve styled as a jacket), matched back with the perfect fitted tank, is the ultimate outfit for a fun-filled festive season. Versatile and affordable, this linen is divine to wear and will no doubt be worn to death throughout the coming months.
