Hello and welcome to the first of my holiday gift guides!
I recently visited Brighton with some friends in search of some unique Christmas gifts and I had such a lovely time there I wanted to share my top finds with you.
If you’re not handy to Brighton fear not: all of the shops featured can be found online as well. I’ll pop their websites at the bottom of this post.
I love to look to my fellow bloggers and vloggers for inspiration at this (and every other) time of year. We’re a lovely community of ‘give-it-a-go-ers’ and the Christmas season is no exception.
Here, as a little bonus to today’s scheduled post, are some links I love:
From Food, Fellowship & Wine is a no-fuss, no-mess recipe for cinnamon crunch popcorn that takes next to no time to prepare but is the perfect accompaniment to every re-run of your favourite festive movie over the coming weeks.
These DIY no-sew coasters are perfect for anyone with a weary, mulled wine-laden hand. A cute gift to give with some of your own homemade warm vanilla apple cider perhaps?
Hello everybody!
Owing to a few technical hitches I haven’t been able to upload my scheduled Day 5 Blogmás post for you so you can look forward to not one but two posts tomorrow to make up for it. Apologies for the delay for those of you who called by this morning at 11!
I’ll be starting the day off with a holiday gift guide all the way from Brighton – perfect for anyone looking to take a day trip to the coast and snap up a very special souvenir for themselves or a friend!
In the meantime I thought I’d collate all this week’s posts together in one place for you to peruse at your leisure over a cuppa.
When I think back to my childhood Christmases I remember the knitted stocking that would hang empty on the end of my bed on Christmas Eve and come morning would be filled with satsumas, gold chocolate coins, little trinkets and, if there was space, a Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
The days of stockings on the end of the bed are long since gone but there’s still something undeniably festive about the marriage of chocolate and orange – especially if it’s encased in crumb! If you’ve a fondness for a Terry’s at this time of year you will love this cake.
Welcome to day three of Blogmás!
Today comes to you from beautiful Kew Gardens. My friend Ian headed back home to Australia this week for the Christmas holidays but before he left we managed to squeeze in a visit to Kew Gardens to take in their Christmas at Kew event.
