Mini work present guide - twelve days of Christmas

Hello everyone! Welcome to the twelve days of Christmas!

I had my 'work do' tonight and as is customary we gave gifts. We organised is as we all brought a present worth $10 put it all into a bag and did a lucky draw. I have heard of other ways of doing this such as secret Santa so you get given a person and buy a present for them usually within a price bracket. Other ways include sitting in a circle and reading a poem which tells you where to pass the present to mix it all up.

Which ever way the presents are distributed there is always the issue of knowing what to buy! For my work it was pretty general, we are all female! So i brought a small photo frame and got a hand cream and nail file as shown below.

I believe that these small gifts are the best, personally i would feel a bit cut short if i got chocolate but all to there own. Tonight there was one present I've never seen which was a solar light a very pretty one at that.

To have pretty fail proof presents i try to stick to these rules.
1) not chocolate as not everyone wants to eat that or can eat that
2) a small trinket like a key chain mostly will be used
3) if you know who will get the present a joke one will always be good
And last but not least 5) if you don't know whos getting your present don't go over budget!

I hope i may have helped you at least a little bit by my mini work present guide also given some ideas via my personal experience!

Throw Back Tuesday - twelve days of christmas!

Hello everybody and welcome to another day in the twelve days of Christmas!

Today I am going to be showing you some throw back photos from past Christmas'.

First off is a young me with my kittens! I have no idea when this photo was but it was a part of my mothers traditional Christmas card photography.

Next is a very stunning (cough cough) photo of me from about 2007, I look so very fetching with my pjs, messy hair and a Santa hat! I can only assume that this was taken by my sister just randomly as are a lot of my childhood photos.

This is my dog Suzy posing for another of my mothers Christmas cards. This was approximately 2009, I love looking back at this photo and seeing what my dog was like and the joy in her eyes.

A much more recent photo is this of my new puppy who has featured on my blog before (Ball Essentials) Lady, this was last years Christmas card taken only a few weeks after we got lady!

And here is a comparison photo of her from this year!

I hope you have enjoyed a wee look into my past Christmas'!

My 5 top Christmas films - 12 days of christmas

Hello again!
Today I am going to be talking about my favourite must watch Christmas films.

This list is in no particular order its far too hard to pick an absolute favourites!! All links that I have left are to the IMDB pages of the movies so you can get a better idea :)

How The Grinch Stole Christmas
This movie is an absolute favourite of mine! I don't remember it from my childhood but I have it on DVD and watch it several times at Christmas, (if not just during the year). To me it is one that needs to be watched in order for it to be truly Christmas.

Home Alone
An oldy but a goody! This may seem not like a Christmas film but it is so easy to watch and has some great laughs. It is very classic humour and to me is one that I grew up watching often, I have never owned this as a DVD but it is always on at Christmas time which to me makes it extra special.

Arthur Christmas

This has recently become one of my favourites, having watched it twice this season already! It is a very family orientated movie with frequent jokes and humour, it is an easy watch and I really recommend this to anyone of any age if you want to feel super christmassy!

The Santa Clause

This is my childhood favourite Christmas movie (well not just at Christmas :P) I have no words to explain how festive this movie makes me feel. It is a absolute staple for me. It has some classic humour in it in terms of general and adult jokes. It will make you feel super festive!

Love Actually

This is a classic Christmas rom com that makes you feel amazingly happy and loved! It is full of incredibly recognisable actors and actresses. It is a completely festive movie full of laughs and makes you smile. I highly recommend this to anyone who needs cheering up or just anyone in general!

And those are my 5 favourite Christmas movies! Hope you have enjoyed!
