Quiet Monday Update

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's been a little over 10 days but I feel like I have been absent for eons. It feels really weird to not be blogging regularly because whilst to you it is just a bit of text and an image on a screen, to me it is a constant thought process, always being aware of possible photo opportunities, thinking how my life can tie into something I might like to share or document and then all the techy stuff like editing and uploading. Blogging is a big deal.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ0XzxfoT2TUwYXpCBks-HlICb2lIyN-BL8M44GMUkr_5jfloxxtpUrBrYeQK7QmccTqTV_zj6yGfwihCSTLeqobg7qSYdP9GqInoj-NZzVllAtjXFjRvRr4c-8-mS3w7qWKfIhhFo-64a/s1600/babylove.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ0XzxfoT2TUwYXpCBks-HlICb2lIyN-BL8M44GMUkr_5jfloxxtpUrBrYeQK7QmccTqTV_zj6yGfwihCSTLeqobg7qSYdP9GqInoj-NZzVllAtjXFjRvRr4c-8-mS3w7qWKfIhhFo-64a/s640/babylove.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(A little bit of recent baby love. Look at that little hand sneaking round. I love being her Mama)</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I haven't been away for any terrific reasons, other than I have been focusing my energies in other directions. I thought I would hop on today, whilst the house is quiet and my brain is ticking over and update you on all the things happening around here. Therapeutic for me, informative for you. Win win. <span style="font-size: x-small;">Shakes booty* with excitement.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Where do I start? Let's go in catagories. </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>YouTube</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This month I committed to doing Vlogmas. Vlogmas is where you upload a video (vlog) every day of Christmas, which in Vlogmas terms is the entirety of December. So far I have averaged about 1 every 3 days and I'm pretty cool with that. I just wanted to capture sweet little moments of my favourite month and I think I have done that. Videos are going up on my second channel, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofchatter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sprinkle of Chatter.</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am still uploading regular weekly videos on my main channel, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sprinkle of Glitter</a>, and am pleased to notice that I am nearly at 1 Million subscribers over there. If and when that milestone is reached, I will do a dedicated post on what it means to me. Spoiler - It will mean A LOT. If you'd like to help push me there, feel free to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SUBSCRIBE</a>. *blushes at cheeky little plug*</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Social Media In General</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, I've been a bit meeehhh with it. For the most part I love being tuned in to <a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">facebook</a>, <a href="http://instagram.com/sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">instagram</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/louiseglitter/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">pinterest</a>, <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1918059/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bloglovin</a> etc, but for a few days I have enjoyed stepping back and experiencing the moment. I have watched Darcy do things with my actual eyes, rather than the view finder of a camera and I have just eaten meals, rather than snap pictures for an insta. It's kind of nice just to be in life rather than constantly documenting it. That's not to say I won't tune in again, but like waves on sand, my interest in social media ebbs and flows. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Also, at this most festive time of year, a lot of our activities centralise round friends and family who are not as keen to be on the internet as we are. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Family</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/twuO2imptzo" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As always, Darcy is being the delight and dream of the month. I uploaded <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twuO2imptzo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> video of her being a Lookbook wizz and am glad to see such positive feedback. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">She is learning to grasp the concept of Christmas and is loving all the paraphernalia that runs with it. We bought her a little nativity set as we are Christians and want her to value the birth of Jesus, but she keeps making jet ski barbie ride the lamb, so it's an unusual setup. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Matt and I haven't spent a lot of time together recently but have made plans for all kinds of things over the next fortnight. It's funny how you can live in the same house as someone and not really speak too much. It's true when they say you have to work at a relationship. I can't wait for all our Christmas plans and to keep up with our family traditions. I've mentioned them before but with any luck I will do a separate post on them again this year. Yay. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Personal</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Still blonde, still a bit of a chub, still loving anything that sparkles. I'm adoring all the glitzy statement necklaces that are in vogue at the moment and relishing in the excuse to wear as much glitter as possible and label it 'festive'. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm drooling over pinterest and wishing I had the motivation to make my house look as amazing as the ones on there. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I picked up a couple of new dresses from the Molly range in Oasis yesterday and was pleased as punch that the size 16's fit. I'm usually an 18 and this means Oasis is a shop I don't find much in but that was a happy surprise. This past weekend excluded, I have been working on eating less junk food and fuelling myself with good things. In the new year I plan to go full steam ahead and learn much healthier eating habits. Not necessarily to loose weight, but to feel fitter, fresher and to go cray cray in more clothes shops haha. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Last week I bought a new camera so once I drag myself out of this fug then I'll be snapping away like there's no tomorrow and you'll be wishing we were on a blog break again!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And that about sums things up. Nothing drastic, nothing wild, just my little glitter life. Ooooeeeee I do love a good catch up post! I have a few exciting things planned for 2014 so I'm looking forward to sharing those with you, but in the meantime, keep an eye on my twitter and youtube channels to keep up with everything going on and thank you from the bottom of my little pink heart for being such wonderful Sprinklerinos.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tell me in the comments what you have been up to this last few weeks or what you have planned between now and Christmas Day!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx<br /><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">To find new ways to stalk me or learn about my disclosure policy, click <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/want-more-glitter.html" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div id="lws_0" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div class="linkwithin_outer" style="border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="linkwithin_inner" id="linkwithin_inner" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 477px;"></div></div></div><br /><div style="orphans: auto; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; widows: auto;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Ultimate Advertiser -</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://aleysvirtualgym.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aley's Virtual Gym</a>/</span></span><a href="http://kittenishbehaviour.com/store/index.php?route=common/home" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #6c0945; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">.</a><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> Click </span><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/sponsor.html" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #6c0945; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">HERE</a><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> for more info.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">*If you follow <a href="https://twitter.com/tyleroakley" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tyler Oakley on Twitter</a>, that will make absolute sense to you. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

Gift Guide For Dads

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Aloha Louise's Sprinklerinos! </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Huston we have another gift guide. I am back once more with presents to excite your eyes, only this time the presents in question are gift ideas for the leading man in your life, your dad. Personally I find buying gifts for my dad relatively easy, partly because my mother will always tell me what to get him, but also because I know what he will use. I have chosen a lot of the generic dad gifts as well as including a few personal items in the mix also! Enjoy! </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-9zDJvRuCFH-7mUveEwwoT2uW8siekeT4aLL8if6DPZ1VOiCEGebeV7jt5yvtLd2BLgr9q6KiGsQ7AJNF0bNW99-NxBpn3jxIxFYEvxgA7WeYqPyRFHAQFr42RaMKsXzwOY_sJxRklRb7/s1600/Gift+Guide+Dad.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-9zDJvRuCFH-7mUveEwwoT2uW8siekeT4aLL8if6DPZ1VOiCEGebeV7jt5yvtLd2BLgr9q6KiGsQ7AJNF0bNW99-NxBpn3jxIxFYEvxgA7WeYqPyRFHAQFr42RaMKsXzwOY_sJxRklRb7/s640/Gift+Guide+Dad.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><u><br /></u></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><u><br /></u></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><u>Gifts Up To £25</u><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Novelty Gifts</b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>I think it’s an unwritten rule that all fathers must receive a novelty gift annually, whether it be a comical pair of socks, racing granddads to kindly remind them of old age or a random knickknack to display on their desk, we’ve all bought them for father dearest. Debenhams sell a pretty immense range of novelty gifts <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Navigate?sfv=Mens+stocking+fillers&ps=default&catalogId=10001&lid=%2F%2Fproductsuniverse%2Fen_GB%2Fproduct_online%3DY%2Finsearch%3D1%2Fcategories%3C%7Bproductsuniverse_18647%7D%2Fcategories%3C%7Bproductsuniverse_18647_3074457345616733293%7D%2Fcategories%3C%7Bproductsuniverse_18647_3074457345616733293_3074457345616831269_ms%7D&langId=-1&sfn=CATEGORIES&storeId=10701&pn=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a> which are worth having a look at, I’m particularly a fan of the camera lens mug myself.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Toiletries Gift Set </b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>Again this is generally a standard dad gift, we often refer to them as ‘smellies’ in my family and you can guarantee each male member will receive at least two Lynx gift sets at Christmas due to the over generosity of the females. <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123740900399_-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> Elemis gift set is slightly more expensive than your standard toiletries set, but you can’t put a price on smelling good now can you? Plus the packaging is rather jazzy and the products themselves seem pretty luxurious.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Shoe Cleaning Kit</b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>Bit of a random choice, but I love the vintage like packaging of <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-co-shoe-cleaning-kit/p575312" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> shoe shining kit, and for men that wear rather expensive leather shoes on a regular basis then it may come in pretty handy! I remember having my school shoes shined and polished back in the day, and I’m sure my dad still shines his shoes regularly so this gift would be well received. Perhaps not an enthralling gift but it’s something a little different which may come in pretty darn handy for dad folk!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>History Book </b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>If historic knowledge is something your dad is interested in <i>(as many dads are)</i> then a book dedicated to said knowledge may be the way forward gift wise. My dad thoroughly collects military history books, he enjoys learning about past conflict, battles and weaponry therefore <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_106010158399_-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> book would be an ideal present and it would definitely lead to ‘favourite daughter’ status. Buying a gift that is relevant to hobbies and interests is always well received plus they’re generally pretty inexpensive! What more could you ask for!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><u>Gifts Up To £50</u><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Personalised Cufflinks</b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>I love a good comical set of cufflinks; they make any formal attire look slightly more exciting. Similarly personalised cufflinks are pretty swish also and I should imagine any dad would wear them proudly if they’ve been specially designed by their little darlings. <a href="http://www.thepresentfinder.co.uk/buy/personalised-silver-oval-cufflinks_751.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THESE</a> cufflinks can be personalised with up to three letters, so you could go for the obvious ‘dad’ seeing as he is the bearer of the gift, or maybe your own initials if not his. A personal, wearable and appropriate gift for man folk who like to dress fancy.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>‘Best Of British’ Beers</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I’m sure <a href="http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/bestofbritishbeer/product/beer-of-the-month" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> would be a popular present choice amongst many dad folk out there, I’m pretty taken with it myself and I don’t even like beer! The ‘Best of British Beers’ gift set includes 12 bottles of award winning beers (all of which are listed on the website) and I think it adds a unique twist to your usual Christmas alcoholic gift for men, such as a hefty bottle of whisky, for a start there are 12 different flavours! It would certainly be a great talking theme on Christmas day amongst them men (and women, no sexism here!) comparing tastes and deciding which beer is the best at least!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Man Fragrance <o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p><b> </b></o:p>All men should smell good, including dads. Personally I don’t feel manly perfume is something men would often go out and buy for themselves, especially not dad type men. I’ve always known the men in my family to have all forms of hygienic items and clothing bought for them once wed. How 1950’s of us aye?! At least the benefits of buying perfume for your dad means you can guarantee he will smell socially acceptable, really it is a gift for the both of you. Once again I have turned to my faithful Debenhams to have a browse of their selection and I’ve decided <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_117923900999_-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> Thierry Mugler fragrance seems very dad like. I would suggest a sniff check first before fragrancing your dad; you don’t want him to disown you after all!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><o:p> </o:p>Jolly Jumper</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>My dad would never allow me to buy him a festive jumper, he wouldn't ever wear one. However I think they’d make rather dapper Christmas present and therefore I have included one in my gift guide. You can’t beat an overly excitable dad dressed in a woolly jumper on Christmas day, even better if there is a snowman on it. The one I have decided to include has slightly more subtly than a snowman jumper, but is still festive nonetheless, I have chosen <a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/Blue-Harbour-Lambswool-Rich-Jumper/dp/B002K4QLC0?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_23&nodeId=43543030&sr=1-23&qid=1385491595" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> jumper from Marks&Spencer, it is festive whilst still subtle and wearable all winter.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><u>Gifts Up To £100 </u><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Wallet </b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>I included an iWallet in the gift guide I wrote aimed at men which seemed a rather fitting present, so I decided to include a wallet in the dad gift guide also. I have chosen a very posh Ralph Lauren wallet <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/polo-ralph-lauren-pebble-grain-leather-wallet/p469210?imageCount=2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a> which looks pretty swanky and formal, I’d be happy to keep all my (currently) non-existent notes in there anyways. The wallet has all the standard pockets needed and I love the simple black leather design with the Ralph Lauren emblem in the corner. I’d be happy for my dad to purchase presents for me if he had that wallet in toe!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Electric Shaver </b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I also included a shaver in my gift guide for men and I would likewise like to pop one in this gift guide also. Whilst you may choose a slightly less fancy version for dad folk, a shaver would still be an ideal gift which you know would get regular use. John Lewis stock a vast range of shavers on their website which you can browse <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/gifts/for-him/men's-shavers/c80000693" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a> and they do vary in price so hopefully there’ll be one for everybody! No one likes a stubbly dad, so do both you and him a favour and allow him to be clean shaven this Christmas.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Sat Nav </b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>I wanted to include a gadget of some form in the dad gift guide and I had originally decided to pop in the new Kindle, however as I included one in my gift guide for mums I have instead decided to include a GPS Navigational System, aka a ‘Sat Nav’ in the dads gift guide, after all variety is the spice of life! I’ve had a browse online for Sat Navs which fall under the £100 price band and I’ve concluded that <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/tomtom-xxl-classic-routes-edition-gps-navigation-system-europe-maps/p231882303" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> TomTom seems rather fancy, it includes European maps so can be used whilst having adventures as well as offering personalisation, updates and all the usual malarkey you’d look for in a good family Sat Nav. Can you tell I’m not a technology expert?</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p><b>Gift Experience </b></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Once again I am including the infamous gift experience in the gift guide, I genuinely believe they’re a great gift idea and there are possibilities out there for people of all ages and interests. In particular, father folk may enjoy the golfing experience, the clay target shooting or the car racing options also as I mentioned in my gift guide for men. Debenhams range of gift experiences can be viewed <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/gifts-toys/gift-experiences" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I’ve now spotted the ghost bust tour experience and I’m rather intrigued myself! <o:p></o:p></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">That's all gal pals! I am officially pooped, internet shopping is harder than it seems! I hope I have been helpful for you and that you're now pulling out less hair over the decision of what to buy your dad for Christmas.

Gift Guide For Mums

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Aloha Louise’s Sprinklerinos! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Guess who's back? It’s Hannah again from <a href="http://thediaryofapoorgirl.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Student Life</a>. I’m secretly hoping you’ve all missed me terribly. I am back with another gift guide to please your eyes and heart, not so much your purses and bank accounts I will confess, but definitely your heart. This my friends is the gift guide for mums! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf3QKqCzGIFf8e78vdUg4Qf5CpZqiZ9FU55H_8EA9qwfSIoLsJ5baP92-ODnvnxG1bjbwjHF3fBc9PzqvLxpeVlLdoAQLT1MmQU1Afq0DPeml5f6g4cMiLjtSGMHltKqZl0E6z3uhPm71H/s1600/Gift+Guide+Mum.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf3QKqCzGIFf8e78vdUg4Qf5CpZqiZ9FU55H_8EA9qwfSIoLsJ5baP92-ODnvnxG1bjbwjHF3fBc9PzqvLxpeVlLdoAQLT1MmQU1Afq0DPeml5f6g4cMiLjtSGMHltKqZl0E6z3uhPm71H/s640/Gift+Guide+Mum.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />I have a confession to make; I think mums are the hardest person to buy gifts for. Whilst it is general consensus that men are the most difficult species to by Christmas presents for, I beg to differ. Unless my mum tells me exactly what she’d like for Christmas then I spend the majority of December frantically browsing the John Lewis website in the hopes I can find her something that won’t spend its lifetime pushed to the back of a cupboard with old VHS tapes and the photographic evidence of her 80’s mullet <i>(sorry for telling them mum.)</i> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Each year when I ask my mother what she would like for Christmas I get the usual response of “oh don’t worry about me, spend your money on yourself” only this is a trap, because if you don’t get her anything you’ll hear about it all day from the rest of your family members and suddenly you’re the worst daughter in existence. So despite her wishes of not wanting a gift each year, I have to get one anyways solely to please the extended family!<o:p> </o:p>Don’t get me wrong, I would buy my mum anything and everything if I had the funds to do so. She has always worked her tushy off in order to buy me everything I’ve wanted in life and one day it will be the utmost pleasure to return the favour. Having said that, I’m a long way off making my millions just yet, so that mansion and donkey sanctuary <i>(yes my mother wants a donkey sanctuary)</i> will have to wait. I have however scowered the internet for mother appropriate, purse friendly gifts which I shall now share with you, yippee!!</div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> <u>Gifts </u></o:p><u>Up To £25</u></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Cath Kidston Goodness</b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div style="text-align: center;">I should imagine anything Cath Kidston is an ideal Christmas gift for many mothers. I’ve had a browse of the website and I’ve spotted a few things I’m sure my own mum would love. If I were to be slightly selfish I’d say <a href="http://www.cathkidston.com/rose-bath--and--body-gift-bag/beauty/cath-kidston/fcp-product/1009190" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a>travel toiletries set would make a great present, purely so I can use it as a bribe in the hopes she’ll visit me more often in university as an excuse to put it into action. Alternatively, Cath Kidston sell beautiful make up bags, home accessories and various other feminine items which you can browse <a href="http://www.cathkidston.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div><o:p></o:p><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>‘Dear Mum, From Me To You’ Book.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I am slightly in love with <a href="http://www.gettingpersonal.co.uk/gifts/dear-mum-from-you-to-me.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> book, given that I probably won’t be able to explain it as well as the website, I shall just do a cheeky copy and paste for you. The book is “filled with different questions for mum to answer. Each is designed to give you an in-depth look into mum's life as you discover things you never knew before.” I love the idea of personalising the cover image of this book so it becomes a family photo album and then have my mum answer the questions over time. It would make a great sentimental keepsake to pass down to my children for them to flick through whilst at Nanny’s donkey sanctuary.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Purse </b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>Last time I was home my mother was complaining about her broken purse so it only makes sense to buy her another, before she purchases one herself which is so ugly that it should be burnt and thrown across the country. Loving child, aren’t I? I like <a href="http://uk.accessorize.com/view/product/uk_catalog/acc_17,acc_1.1/5900164200" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> purse from Accessorize. It’s simple, cute and I think my mama would like it. If not I’ll have it off her, I too am in need of a new purse. Purses obviously range in price greatly, but you can definitely find good quality purses for under £20.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Jazzy Chocolates</b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>You can’t really go wrong with chocolates, especially if they’re all fancy looking. Thorntons do a great range of chocolate boxes specifically aimed at women which would make a great inexpensive gift for your mum. I like the look of <a href="http://www.thorntons.co.uk/product/Christmas-Gifts/Christmas-Gifts-for-Her/Continental-Milk-Dark-White-Gift-Wrapped-490g/pc/2407/c/2413/1021.uts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> box, it contains a variety of dark, milk and white chocolates and looks pretty darn fancy too. I should imagine my mother wouldn’t be sharing if I bought her that box, which would be a good inkling that she likes the present!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><u>Gifts Up To £50</u></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Clarins Skincare</b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>My mum is a huge fan of Clarins and I’m often expected to stand patiently at the Clarins counter whilst she rubs various creams of youthful goodness into her hand. It’s not often mums treat themselves to something that’s not quite a necessity such as expensive skincare, so I’d love to do it for my mama instead and keep her feeling happy and beautiful with a pot of cream or two. Debenhams stock a variety of Clarins skincare ranges of which you can browse <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Navigate?sfv=Skincare&ps=default&catalogId=10001&lid=%2F%2Fproductsuniverse%2Fen_GB%2Fproduct_online%3DY%2Fcategories%3C{productsuniverse_59001}%2Fbrand_description%3E{clarins}%2Fgender_s%3E{skincare}&langId=-1&sfn=Product+categories&storeId=10701&pn=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Personalised Candle</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div style="text-align: center;">This was a very random find I came across on the internet, but I think it would make a pretty swell present. You can’t really go wrong in buying a woman a scented candle, my family home is full of them, so much so I’m contemplating buying my dad a protective mask to shield him from the fumes of jasmine and other feminine scents <i>(I jest, he loves it)</i> I love <a href="http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/kissesandcreations/product/personalised-candle" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> candle as you can personalise the jar with your own little message and once the candle is burnt out then the jar makes a lovely little keepsake, something different from your average Yankee but still a mumsey winner.<br /><b><br /></b><b>Canvas Print</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>You can’t really go wrong with a blown up photo of your face. I like to tell myself that I am my mother’s pride and joy <i>(though I’m pretty sure it’s the dogs instead)</i> and therefore I’m sure she’d love to fill our living room with various family frames. Gone are the days of framed photos, canvas is where it’s at. Nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like ‘here mum, have a giant picture of my face, don’t say I don’t treat you’. Photobox do a great range of canvas prints <a href="http://www.photobox.co.uk/shop/wall-decor/canvas-prints" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>. They do vary in price, but I would recommend a good quality canvas around the £40 mark, only the best for my face!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Mother and Daughter Necklaces. </b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>I once suggested my mother, sister and I should all get matching tattoo’s, funnily enough that didn’t go down too well with my mum so instead I’ve decided matching necklace sets are probably the next best thing. Of course I turned to Etsy to look for cute jewellery designs and I found <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/129892621/makuahine-mother-and-daughter-necklaces?ref=sr_gallery_15&ga_search_query=mother+and+daughter+necklace&ga_page=1&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=mother+and+daughter+necklace&ga_view_type=gallery" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a>one which is my personal favourite. The design is simple, and just like a wedding band the ring signifies eternal love. There are other mother and daughter necklace options such as <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/51911670/hand-stamped-jewelry-personalized?ref=sr_gallery_29&ga_search_query=mother+and+daughter+necklace&ga_page=1&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=mother+and+daughter+necklace&ga_view_type=gallery" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> engraved one, but personally I would rather wear something slightly simpler.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><u>Gifts Up To £100</u></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>High End Perfume </b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>Quite an obvious present choice and generally one that can’t go wrong, every woman likes to smell good and mothers are no exception. My mum is a massive fan of the Dior ‘Poison’ perfume range which falls under the high end category, but is still relatively affordable depending on quantity. I think this will be her main present from me this year, I know she has been lusting after a new bottle and my dad isn’t often one to part with his wallet for the purpose of a smell in a bottle. Men, eh? The scent ‘Pure Poison’ is certainly my favourite of the range which you can buy <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123804900099_-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>, I thoroughly recommend having a whiff, it’s very mature and strong in scent, but I love it and so does my mama.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Food Mixer </b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I wish I had the funds to by my mother the ultimate food mixer by Kitchen Aid, but as it is over £400 in price, she shall just have to wait. Instead I have found some cheaper alternatives which I’m sure work just as well, not to mention in purchasing a fancy food mixer you’re likely to come home to freshly baked cakes, so we’re all benefiting here. <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_325003080180_-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> mixer by Kenwood looks pretty snazzy and I’m sure it is something mother bakers would enjoy thoroughly. My mum uses her Next food mixer religiously so if that were to break then I would definitely buy her another quick sharp.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Spa Day</b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>Once again, you can’t really go wrong with a spa day as a typical mumsy present, and many of the spa experience packages on offer are for two people to enjoy. Therefore it would make a perfect Christmas gift for both you and mum, you can laugh and bond and get your nails painted all at the same time! Debenhams do a vast range of spa experiences <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/gifts-toys/gift-experiences/spa-pampering" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a> <i>(currently 10% off)</i> and I’m ever so slightly getting jealous of the women in the photos, I want someone to put a towel on my head and rub my back. Again the prices vary so hopefully you’ll find a package in your price rage and voila, you can enjoy a day with mum and complementary champagne!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Kindle</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div style="text-align: center;">A gift favourite each Christmas and this year is no exception, especially now that the jazzy new Kindle Paperwhite is available to pre order <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CTUKFNQ/ref=fs_clw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Whilst it is slightly over budget of £109, it is certainly worth considering busking in the streets for that extra £9 to treat the woman who birthed you. You can’t go wrong with a Kindle and a Jane Austin novel, mums love it. Little disclaimer: I will not take the blame for your mother’s anti-social behaviour come Christmas day when she is thoroughly enjoying reading on her kindle thus not socialising with the family.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope I have given you some worthy gift ideas for your mother dearest, I also hope these gift guides are providing useful, do let me know in the comments as I read them all :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Until next time, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">xx</div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">To find new ways to stalk me or learn about my disclosure policy, click <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/want-more-glitter.html" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Ultimate Advertiser - <a href="http://www.amidnightwonderland.com/" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">A Midnight Wonderland</a></span><a href="http://kittenishbehaviour.com/store/index.php?route=common/home" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; font-size: xx-small; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">.</a><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Click </span><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/sponsor.html" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; font-size: xx-small; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">HERE</a><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> for more info.</span></div></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Life is crazy busy right now with no sign of slowing down until January (good busy, but busy) and so I wanted to take this chance (Darcy is asleep and I'm sat on my bed going through our recent photos) to showcase some of Benefit's most charming box sets and individual items that they have rather aptly brought out in time for Christmas. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I used to gleefully look forward to the moment the Benefit counters would have their new product booklets out, take it to my desk (as you can tell, I worked hard at my office) and make little lists of what I wanted Father Christmas to bring me. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's not just the beauty products themselves that I love about this brand, it's the fun and frivolity that comes with them. They have that little extra something and I'm happy to pay a little more to have that. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">All these pieces would make great stand alone gifts (the perfume set for example) or sweet stocking stuffers (oh hey there lipsticks I'm looking at you) for friends and family. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you want to really tease yourself, have a look at <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/?ext_id=ppc_0895_benefit%20uk&gclid=CLjj_MfY9boCFRMftAodwQMAbQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Benefit's Website</a> and try not to swoon. It's impossible! If you get the chance, visit one of the counters or flagship stores, they're girl heaven. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think?

Gift Guide For Men || CHRISTMAS

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Louise's Sprinklerinos! </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />I love men. I love men because they’re soothing to look at, especially if they resemble Ryan Gosling. I love men because stubble is God’s gift to women and I love men because they are useful for a variety of needs. Granted I also think they’re big meanies, but in general they’re not so bad. You know what I hate about men though? They’re impossible to buy for and it is literally the bane of my life. If you think a university degree or climbing Everest is challenging you've clearly never had to buy Christmas presents for man folk.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Having said that, I love a good challenge <i>(hence why you’ll see me at the Chinese buffet more often than is socially acceptable to admit)</i>and therefore I have taken it upon myself to seek out twelve stonkingly good presents for the men in our lives, for their use and enjoyment in the hopes that it will one day lead to a ring on our finger, a kiss under the mistletoe or a chance to rub our faces against their jaw stubble. I'm easy to please, can you tell? <o:p></o:p><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy4tUsUpOzyJCFq79qlF2EofqRvU79YFOH0xzYUz_CEa0PAmG1SqOlGgR8tag_8UNw9p3pgAyDgP96F_hn8CC8sSV632XH6ZIP9TWXvBUPNGVDnETCq-0L1gzdZxr49fVyC-v1BcqRjMdU/s1600/gifts+for+guys.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy4tUsUpOzyJCFq79qlF2EofqRvU79YFOH0xzYUz_CEa0PAmG1SqOlGgR8tag_8UNw9p3pgAyDgP96F_hn8CC8sSV632XH6ZIP9TWXvBUPNGVDnETCq-0L1gzdZxr49fVyC-v1BcqRjMdU/s640/gifts+for+guys.jpg" width="364" /></a></div><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(Original image from Pinterest)</span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Have no fear, if you’re having an Amazon panic and contemplating asking Father Christmas to cancel Christmas this year, I am here, in all my glory. I shall be writing a separate gift guide for dad folk later on in the week, this guide shall provide more suitable gifts for male companions and brothers. Are you excited? Are you sitting on the edge of your seat? <i>(I also now have Queen stuck in my head, ‘another one bites the dust’ anyone?) </i><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><u>Gifts Up To £25</u><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><u><br /></u></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Shaving Set</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p><span style="text-align: center;">It makes me quiver slightly when I think of men with just the right amount of stubble, and you know what they need to achieve said stubble? A handy dandy shaving set. I think </span><a href="http://www.menkind.co.uk/traditional-shaving-set" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">THIS</a><span style="text-align: center;"> one looks pretty impressive and very manly. It’s like a makeup brush for men, I wonder if PixiWoo will consider designing one of these bad boys any time soon. I'm almost tempted to rub those bristles across my face.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>iWallet </b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I've noticed a lot of my male friends use an iWallet, as the name suggests it's a handy iPhone case with built in slots for all your cards. Personally I love a good purse full of <strike>money</strike> receipts but I imagine men folk like to keep things simple. <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_106010124099_-1" target="_blank">THIS</a> iWallet from Debenhams is pretty standard, but it would do the job nicely! They can protect their phone and keep their cards intact, what more could you want from a wallet! </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p><b>101 Sandwiches </b></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Men love food. This is just a fact. And if they’re at all similar to Joey from Friends then they’re most likely a lover of a good meaty sandwich or two. Granted I also love a good sandwich, given that they’re usually almost entirely made up of carbs, but I'm going to pretend to be lady like and act as though <a href="http://www.asos.com/Books/101-Sandwiches-Book/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3638306&cid=16091&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=204&sort=-1&clr=Multi" target="_blank">THIS</a> book doesn’t excite me. If your man can open a few bits of packaging and butter some bread, then I’d recommend the sandwiches book. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><b>The Projecteo </b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://www.getprojecteo.com/" target="_blank">The Projecteo</a> is a gift suggestion that Louise has been raving about, and I have to confess it is pretty hunky dory. A projecteo allows you to reminisce over your snaps on the big screen (<a href="http://smileandwave.typepad.com/blog/2013/10/projecteo.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> is a pretty bloomin’ brilliant blog review of the Projecteo in case your mind is baffled) Louise has also said </span>“When you place an order, you are given a little code to share with friends. If they use your code when you order, you are gifted $5 off your next order so that's a little bonus! My code is FRIEND05Y3 so if you do decide to shop with them and fancy using it, feel free. I don't think you get any money off but it's nice to share the love if you want to (please don't feel pressured). For those wondering what I bought, I ordered the Projecteo and a couple of wheels of Darcy snaps for Matt's stocking this year. Hope he doesn't read this post! Eeep!!!"<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u>Gifts Up To £50</u></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p><b>Breaking Bad Boxset</b></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">If you haven’t heard of Breaking Bad by now then I salute your resistance from social media and I wish I was ever so slightly more like you. Breaking Bad has without a doubt been one of the most talked about television shows this year and I have to confess, I am in love with it. At first I was sceptical and only began watching to see if it was worth the hype, and within 3 episodes I was hooked. If your man person hasn't yet been sucked into the world of Walter White I recommend you buy him the boxset <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Breaking-Bad-Season-1-4-DVD/dp/B0084DYMUY/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1384709274&sr=1-1&keywords=breaking+bad" target="_blank">HERE</a>. He will love you forever. Although I do apologise if he ignores you for the duration, I will not be responsible for arguments. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Man Perfume</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="MsoHyperlink"> </span>Of course you want your man smelling beautiful, I love a good whiff of boyfriend, they always smell so manly and it’s usually down to the cologne, given that I’m not a fan of the au natural smell. Cologne is a pretty standard present for men, but one that we can all enjoy. Debenhams have a vast range of men's fragrances <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Navigate?ps=default&storeId=10701&lid=%2F%2Fproductsuniverse%2Fen_GB%2Fproduct_online%3DY%2Finsearch%3D1%2F%24s%3DFragrances_For_Him%3Bt%3Dpicked_lists_profile&catalogId=10001&langId=-1" target="_blank">HERE</a> which are worth virtually sniffing. I’m a lover of Gucci fragrances for me, so if you’re reading this and currently smelling of Gucci, line up so I can have a whiff. Single file please.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p><b>Call Of Duty</b></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I shall confess, I HATE war games. I think they’re too violent and unnecessary. However I am aware that they’re hugely popular amongst the male species and therefore you’ll most likely win girlfriend of the century award if you indulge their fantasies and pop a copy of Call Of Duty under the Christmas tree. You can buy the latest game on Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Call-Duty-Ghosts-Xbox-360/dp/B00CFARTD4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1384709939&sr=8-1&keywords=call+of+duty" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Why can’t men just play Sims or Crash Bandicoot in their spare time? I don’t understand them. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p><b>Engraved Watch</b></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I’m actually a huge fan of this gift. Many man folk wear watches in order to know when it is socially acceptable to eat once again and I genuinely think <a href="http://www.menkind.co.uk/engraved-milan-mens-watch" target="_blank">THIS</a> watch is very charming and attractive. It could make any wrist look sexy, no matter how hairy the hand attached is. I love that you can have it engraved, it adds a nice personal touch whilst not screaming ‘this is the male version of an engagement ring, run.. run a mile’ Subtle yet serious, no? <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u>Gifts Up To £100</u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><br /></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Swanky Electric Razor </b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Similarly to the shaving set I shared earlier, men do enjoy a good electric razor or two. Partly because it makes them feel rugged and manly, but also because they know it means their girlfriend won’t be stealing it to shave her legs. <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/philips-rq1195-17-sensotouch-shaver/p667565" target="_blank">THIS</a> razor from John Lewis looks pretty snazzy, and I certainly won’t be putting it anywhere near my legs in fear that I’d chop them off. An everyday essential that’s a little bit swanky <i>(and gives you exclusive access to their manual boring old Gillette) </i><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Gift Experience</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>In my Student Gift Guide I recommended concert tickets as a desirable gift, and I feel this could also apply to men, if not a concert than certainly a gift experience. Debenhams have a range of gift experiences <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/gifts-toys/gift-experiences" target="_blank">HERE</a>. You can either send your man off roading or racing in order for him to feel like Lewis Hamilton for the day, or for a nice massage and glass of bubbly in the hopes he’ll invite you too.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p><b>Sexy Suit</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Men in suits are sexy. Fact. I’ve never bought a man friend a suit, I’ve not quite reached that stage of adult life, plus they’re pretty expensive. Having said that, I reckon if I left a boyfriend to buy his own suit it certainly wouldn’t ooze as much sexiness had I of chosen it for him. Therefore, do your fella a favour and make him look swanky this Christmas. Asos have pretty eyelash futtering worthy suits; which you can have a browse at <a href="http://www.asos.com/Men/Suits-Blazers/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=5678&via=top" target="_blank">HERE</a> one. I’ll have one of the models too if they're on sale also.<o:p></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Cosy Hoodie </b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">This is an entirely selfish gift idea I must confess. I'm a lover of the boyfriend hoodie look and currently I am in need of a new one. Therefore so is my boyfriend. I think I’d look good in <a href="http://www.asos.com/Superdry/Superdry-Orange-Label-Hoodie/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2973433&cid=5668&sh=0&pge=2&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Royal+marl+blue" target="_blank">THIS</a> Superdry hoodie, as I'm sure many of you fellow females will also. Let’s all match this Christmas in man hoodies whilst feeling generous and economical. Sharing is caring!<br /><br /><br />That concludes my gift guide for men! I hope this has been vaguely useful for you! Men are notoriously difficult to buy for, but there is actually a pretty immense selection out there. That being said, I still don't enjoy shopping for men.
