Christmas Party Survival Guide – All Under $19.95
Christmas is fast approaching {but you already knew that didn’t you?} so get ready for the gift guides & decorating ideas. But before we get into that let’s take a moment to think about yourselves. Here is a little list of what YOU need to survive the silly season’s gatherings.
1. Gingerbread Man Earrings $12 – While you may not be able to pop on a reindeer covered jumper to lift your Christmas spirits, these earrings will sure do the trick. {minus the heat stroke}
2. Cadbury Jumbo Christmas Stocking $8.56 – Keep a bag of these handy for a much needed sugar hit when the party dies down or as a last-second hostess gift.
3. Wrapping Sheets, $19.95 – Have everyone wishing you were their secret santa by ensuring your gift stand out from the rest with this expensive-looking wrapping paper. They won’t know it’s only soap inside.
4. Ransom Magnets $9.95 – Oh dear, your uncle/aunt/brother-in-law just turned up & you didn’t know they were coming! Good thing you had this quirky gift on standby. They’ll think you had them in mind all along.
5. Christmas Cards £5 & Pen $2.95 – Have a stack of cute cards & an even cuter pen stashed in your handbag to avoid those “oh you got me a christmas card? Jeez it’s a real shame I didn’t get you one” moments.
6. Honey, Saffron & Ginger Champagne Cocktail - Memorise a festive cocktail {or two} to ensure you survive the family feuds {plus everyone loves someone who can make a mean mojito!}

Oh dear…
I hadn’t been past Etsy in a while so I decided to drop by. My credit card isn’t happy, there are so many pretty things to buy!

Inspirational Office Spaces
Here are only three of the many offices I wish I had the luxury of working in every day.

You may, or may not have realised that my Chai Tea Biscuits post was actually my first ever food post…{hurrah!} which explains my shonky pictures. What I didn’t realise is that food posts are not as easy as they seem, you need the right lighting, the right time of day, the right camera… the list goes on.
What made this process even more difficult was the fact that I have no {that’s right, none!}cute kitchenware, or at least nothing I was proud to display to the rest of the world. Now, I am a student so my kitchen cupboards currently consist of items I could smuggle from home before I moved away, as well as a few odds and ends that have been given/left/borrowed & never returned from others.
So needless to say I don’t have a complete set of anything, nothing matches, I have too many of other things {four potato peelers…really?} & it is completely uninspiring!
So here it is, my online finds that will make your kitchen (and my food posts) that little bit prettier. All of which are available online, under $50 & all fitting in with my particularly colourful mood today. Bon appetite.
