Hello hello! Happy one-month-to-Christmas-eve! Yes, I am marking every celebration right now, ha! Usually Oli is a TOTAL Christmas traditionalist, bringing out Bublé as of December 1st only. But this year, even Oli’s getting on board with the festive feels just a little earlier. Namely, tomorrow ~ November 25th! One month until Christmas day. On my end I’ve been listening to Christmas tunes for a month or so already. Needs must! Anyhu, I am so excited to share my completed Christmas Gift Guides for 2020 with you today! In years gone by I’ve not gone all-in on gift guides, but this year it felt right to pull together all of my favourite products for you, since I’ve been browsing online a LOT for gifts. Plus, I figure that you may be doing more of your shopping online this year too.
I really hope that these gift guides are helpful for you. I poured a lot of love into them. And (not biased or anything, haha) I think that they are FULL of amazing gifts!
This year I am excited too to introduce a guest editor, my lovely intern Jess, who edited the student gift guide for you!
Read on for my six gifting categories. I’ve mixed in a bunch of small businesses and tried and tested favourites of mine too.
I hope you find something or some-things you love ❤️ Happy gifting!

Meet Student Guest Editor Jess!
Hi! I’m Jess, a third year Fashion Marketing Student at University of Southampton’s Winchester School of Art. I’ll be graduating next year, and the plan is to get into a career in Digital Marketing or Merchandising.
In my spare time I enjoy yoga and walks (especially with my dog when I’m home) and discovering new and inspirational small businesses. During lockdown I created a website: www.editionninetynine.com to showcase the best independent businesses I’ve discovered.
5 Mins With Jess
Favourite hot drink: It has to be a hot chocolate as I’m not a tea or coffee drinker (I know?!)
Favourite tipple: I do love a Rum & Coke!
The one thing at Uni you couldn’t live without: Other than my laptop it would be my slippers; are they are so cosy and perfect when wondering around my room and to and from the kitchen.
What you’re looking forward to over Christmas time: I am looking forward to spending some family time at home and taking a break from Uni work to relax before my final semester. But also, I’m so excited for my Christmas dinner with all the trimmings!
Fave Christmas movie: I love The Holiday!
Fave Christmas song: It has to be Mariah Carey, All I Want For Christmas Is You.
Your hopes for 2021: To graduate from Uni and find a job/internship, and hopefully get to travel and discover some new places!
