Putting together a budget gift guide was harder than I though - the temptation to put most of these things into my online basket was almost overwhelming!  I tried to put this guide together based on things that I would like myself, and what I think my friends would like to receive too so hopefully you will get some inspiration here yourself.  There is a mixture of beauty (obvs), stationery and jewellery here and I tried to cover all bases: such as nails, diaries, palettes and lips.  

I've got to be honest - I have bought the Soap and Glory set for myself already!  I was sold at once because the Sugarcrush range is my absolute favourite smell, and when I saw that this had Sugarcrush scented Hand Food in it that was that!  I have been saying for AGES that hand cream would be the dream in this scent and now I have it!  I'm hoping that in a bigger Boots I will be able to get hold of the full size version - fingers crossed.  

I hope you find this guide helpful, please let me know if you do!  A luxury guide (read: wishful-thinking-hint-at-boyfriend guide) will be up in the week! xx
