I don't know about you guys, but I am so unprepared for Christmas this year! I normally have all my presents chosen and bought by the end of November, but this year, thanks to the move and not being in a stable job since August, limited funds have stopped me from doing that.
For the past two years I have tried to be creative with the gifts I give, so here are my top ideas for people who want to be a little different. 
For the kiddies, keep and clean old jam jars, paint the lid and fill with sweets for your choice. You could even write a message on the jar in glass paints. 
Make your own chocolates. There are plenty of ideas and recipes on the internet to choose from. Once made, package them in a homemade box and decorate.
Get something printed. I do this almost every year. Companies like Vistaprint offer printing services for low prices. You can choose a design of your own choice and get it printed onto a variety of items. 
Make a hamper. This is an ideal present for someone who is difficult to buy for. You can fill it with inexpensive and homemade goodies, such as the persons favourite dvd, their favourite make-up, homemade choccies, bath goodies etc. Just package it in a cute box and tie with a ribbon. 

So what do you guys think? Do you have any personal gift ideas for Christmas this year?

Hey Lovelies,
Today's been a really relaxed, chilled out day. Just been scouring the web for inspiration and ideas, so keep your eyes pealed for some tutorials soon! I went for a job interview yesterday so fingers crossed I get it. If I do, the first thing on my shopping list is a new sewing machine. I've not had one that works since college and my patience is finally running out! I hate hand sewing with a passion.
I also heard the news today that a lad my age was killed in my hometown, it's absolutely shocking how bad that town has gotten. Or should I say some of the people in it have? Since I moved away from there at 14, there has been several stabbings, shootings etc. One of my school friends was also raped and my brothers friends dad was killed. I have to say I will never move back. My thoughts are with his grieving family.
Hopefully I will post some more tomorrow, so keep your eye out for new posts. : )
