Christmas gift guide for shopping online
Judging by how this year is going, it seems like doing Christmas shopping online is the way forward. The shops are still trying to sell off stuff from lockdown. Which would be great if we were able to go on a Summer holiday, but alas not. So the past few months I’ve been buying most things online, even my skincare. My usual stores have either next to nothing, or items for the wrong time of year. Plus shopping in person isn’t the easiest nowadays either. I can’t believe my last Christmas gift guide was 2018!
So I’m starting my Christmas shopping earlier than normal, especially as you don’t know what will happen next. Will the shops be open in a few months to do it? Will they have their full Christmas ranges in? Plus with the current circumstances, there is loads of deals on in stores.
Skincare
I love skincare, so Christmas is always a great time to grab great sets and bundles. Whats a better gift then a bundle of Liz Earle? A lot of the Chritmas gift sets are out early this year, so it’s the perfect time to get started. Plus there is so many fab new ranges out now. I’m head over heels in love with The Ordinary at the moment!
- Liz Earle 4 Piece Collection – £43.98
- Elemis Pro-Collagen Day Cream – £38
- Yes To Brightening Bundle – £8
- Revolution Mini Essence Skin Collection – £10
- Hello Gorgeous Gift Set from Lush – £32
- The Ordinary The Daily Set – £15
- Revolution Wake Me Up Caffeine Set – £35
Make Up
I’m a sucker for make up still after all these years, I don’t buy enough of it any more. I have so so many palettes that I feel like I need to use them up first. But newbies never go a miss. Plus how good do you feel smacking on that new lipstick on Christmas day?
- Cult Beauty Advent Calendar (if you’re feeling generous) – £199

Homeware
I love a trip to TK Maxx for homeware, I could buy everything. Can’t beat a good candle from there, or a random pumpkin for Halloween. But my last trip post lockdown put me off, so I’ve resorted to online!

Gym Wear
I love love buying gym clothes, and always use Christmas as an excuse for more. Whether it’s another pair of leggings, bra or trainers. I love getting them! Plus going back in January with your new gear always feels amazing doesn’t it. As I do CrossFit I buy a lot of the same stuff, but it’s items I know are squat proof and comfortable!

Perfume
I love love perfume. I’ll admit since lockdown I haven’t used all that much. I still have a full bottle of Si that’s untouched! But I love a good perfume treat. Christmas and Birthdays are always a good excuse to grab your favourite, especially when the Christmas deals come out.
- Mugler Alien – From £23
- Armani Si – From £55
- Viktor Rolf Flowerbomb – From £56
- Chloe – From £50
- Cacharel Amor Amor – From £15
- Chanel Coco Mademoiselle – From £48
There is so much online now, it’s really hard to choose. There is so many good brands I’ve discovered over lockdown too. Whether it’s a local person making brownies and candles, or some gym gear. Remember to look local to you when you order items, I’ve ordered a ridiculous amount of stuff through lockdown. Especially discovering the Roar North gym gear, I’ve fallen in love with their stuff!
Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Have you bought any of these items?
