Not-Standard Christmas Gift Ideas

 

The time of the year his come that all of us get pretty much broke. In this month we buy tons of presents for our family and friends and it's definitely a good thing to think about someone else besides yourself. However, it might be a challenge to find something nice for everyone and you don't want to give a 'boring' giftcard or body gel. That's why I thought it would be nice to show you some non-standard gift ideas! It's kind of like a gift guide for women. Let me know if I should do such a Christmas gift guide for men as well! 

My first tip would be Happy Socks. They are available in tons of colors, sizes and patterns and of course they have all kinds of bright and happy colors. They are a little bit above my average socks price, but they are definitely worth it and they make the receiver happy for sure! 

Recently I discovered WildFlower and their phone cases and gosh I'm in love. Check out this 'YEET' phone case or any of their other ones. Other cool gift ideas would probably be a silver ring or just these simple earrings. They are versatile and look so chic!  

To get extra cozy during winter go for some cozy knitted slippers or a blanket which you can hug when you're cold. Also a Starbucks takeout cup is so cute and definitely suitable for a Starbucks-lover.

For beauty and fashion lovers go for a beautiful purse or bag, a nice perfume or this lipstick from MAC. I recently discovered their color 'Diva' and it's perfect for winter, I promise. Finally, what's better than securing your memories with this lomography photo camera? They are all amazingly cute and take some pretty vintage-style photos: awesome! 

Which idea do you like best? Do you have any other tips for anyone struggling to find presents? Tell us in the comments!

Even though you know it's spring and summer is getting closer, the weather might not always look like that. Here, for example, it was snowing (a little bit) today. You might consider the beautiful weather to be gone or something and you want to sit on the couch, depressed, because the weather is cold and dark. BUT THERE IS HOPE. After this post you will feel happy and you will be totally ready for summertime! Yeay!

OMG, MY DREAM CAME TRUE!

I would like to announce the winner of my give away in cooperation with Melybelle. The winner is..... Noah from Misty Rose! Congrats girl! You have won the amazing mustache necklace!

I also have some AMAZING news! I've alsways dreamed about going to a real fashion show instead of watching it online. Last saturday I was unexpected invited to visit a fashion show of Addy van den Krommenacker, a dutch designer who designes the most amazing dresses. This time he designed a whole collection in cooperation with Steps (clothing shop). When I arrived at the celebration fashionshow you received something to drink and your tickets. When  I looked to my ticket carefully I found out that I was sitting frontrow! I was so nervous and thousands of feelings where on my mind: this couldn't be real, it's a dream. But it was not a dream. It was sooooo nice and I really appreciate the person who has invited me to see this wonderful fashion show. Thank you so much! ♥♥♥♥

The show itself was adorable. The hair of the models was in the style of the 30's and the dresses where like those from princesses. I guess Addy has put a lot of efford and time in these creations because they were só perfect! I was mindblown! The materials Addy's used in this fashion show are satin, silk chiffon, organza, many sequin materials and richly embroidered lace. 

In this fashion show were also some dresses you could wear in multiple ways. There was a very cute men standing there to take the jackets of the lady's (the models). You could see a long dress turning into a short dress, which were both beautiful.

Addy van den Krommenacker is a dutch designer who has designed dresses which are worn my famous dutch people. He travels around to world to get inspiration.
