I HEART UNIQUE MONEYBOX FRAME

Is it just me or when you get older it becomes increasingly harder to buy presents for friends and family? Everyone seems to have what they need or want so its difficult to find the perfect present. When I was browsing the tinterweb I came across I Heart Unique. They sell a selection of novelty gifts such as works of art in frames, hanging decorations and money boxes, the best part is everything can be personalised! When I saw the money box I thought it was super cute and instantly knew it would be the perfect gift for my friends house warming. She'd finally got a mortgage and moved into her 1st forever home. 

I was nervous my parcel wouldn't arrive on time so I messaged I Heart Unique on their Facebook Page, they informed me that my order was dispatched. When my order didn’t arrive shorty after, I contacted the company through FB messenger. It turns out they confused me with another Kim and my order wasn’t on its way! I started to panic as this was a gift. Since there was a mix up they posted my order next day delivery so I would receive it on time which was very generous of them.

The frame arrived on time, I was extremely pleased with the product and was excited to give it to my friend. When I looked closer I realised that one of the letters wasn’t as smoothly applied as the others and had a rough edge, I contacted I Heart Unique and they were nothing but apologetic and helpful. They provided me with two options, to await a new acrylic sheet with the letters reapplied or accept a partial refund. 

The customer service I’ve received from I Heart Unique has gone above and beyond, everything was managed promptly and in a friendly manner. I have already recommended this amazing company to so many others due to the excellent customer service they’ve provided. 

Why not head over to I Heart Unique to have a cheeky look at what they have to offer, perhaps purchase a gift for someone special or even a little something for yourself. I'm really tempted to purchase a money box for myself <3

Sincerely, Kimberly.

CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS

I've been terrible for writing festive posts this year, life has been so busy for me recently. With Christmas fast approaching its time to get my head down and write the posts! Christmas has come around way too quickly and I'm not prepared in the slightest. I only officially started Christmas shopping last week and still need to buy a few pressies. Since everyone seems to have everything they want or need it was difficult to think of the perfect presents. In the end I thought about things I always enjoy receiving to generate some great gift ideas, hopefully everyone will love their Christmas presents this year!

Socks

Yes you read that right, socks! When I was younger I used to be a little disappointed when receiving socks but now it's one of the best things ever. They make great gifts, especially bed socks!

Pyjamas

Don't laugh when I say PJs, these are always a great gift, especially if you don't know what to get someone as Pyjamas are always needed all year round.

Fitness clothing

In my opinion sports clothing is one of the best gifts. Whether you go to the gym or do a specific sport, there is plenty of choice. I find that its always good to introduce some colour or patterns into sports clothing, look around the shops and find something a little different. I personally love Piba for my leggings, I brought some Iron Woman ones and use them for flexibility classes so I know first hand how durable they are as they can withstand splits! For people who don't "exercise", sports clothing can still be a good present, perhaps jogging bottoms or a new hoodie is exactly what is on their Christmas list.

Candles

I don't know about you but I think candles are a great present! They don't need to be expensive Yankee Candles (even though these are amazing), you can also find beautiful scents in supermarkets so have a little look around.

Personalised gifts

There are plenty of choices for gifts that can be personalised, whether its a present for adults or kids there are many options. For friends in the past I've purchased personalised mugs or Christmas Tree decorations that have always been well appreciated.

Experiences

Experiences can make amazing presents, have a little browse online and you'll be able to find an activity or day out to suit anyone. Whether it's driving a fancy car, enjoying a day drinking fine wines or taking part in a photoshoot.

Meal out

What do you get for a person who doesn't want nor need anything? Instead of buying something cute for the sake of it why not treat someone to a meal out. My friend and I are going to Zizi's for a meal as our Christmas present to each other, it's a great opportunity to go somewhere you wouldn't normally go so it makes it extra special.

Technology

Tech products are another great gift idea, whether its a new phone case or selfie stick there are so many options. I would personally recommend looking at Cath Kidston as they have some beautiful prints and it's great quality. 

Sincerely, Kimberly.

GIFT IDEAS FOR ALICE IN WONDERLAND LOVERS

Do you know someone who is obsessed with tea parties with the mad hatter? Or loves to escape to Wonderland? If you're shopping for an Alice in Wonderland lover this festive season I've got the perfect gift ideas...

Alice poster: abookononepage £39.99

I first saw these posters at a market in London, it's such a clever idea! A book on one page! This is the second book "Through the looking glass" but the first book is available and is pink instead of blue with Alice looking the other way. These would look amazing together, although at £39.99 I would buy them one at a time. If you prefer the original "traditional" illustrations from the books you can also choose from a selection of characters such as the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat and the King or Queen.

1. Bronze necklace: Etsy £6 || 2. Watch: Hot Topic $19.50 || 3. Cheshire Cat & Alice Laptop Case: Zazzle £26.40 || 4. Pyjama's: Primark £11 || 5.Title pullover jumper: Hot Topics $34.50 || 6. iPhone case: Etsy £12 || 7. White Rabbit toy: Disney Store £18.95 || 8. Cheshire Cat 3D mug and spoon: Disney Store £12.95 || 9. Cheshire Cat Vans £52 || 10. Tote bag: Disney Store £15.95

Christmas is only 5 days away but there is still time to get those added extras. Alice in Wonderland has been popular for years now, it's my favourite Disney film so I love to receive Alice goodies. This year already my friend brought me the pyjamas, so comfy and cosy on a winters night :)

All of these items are perfect pressies for the festive season, still time to order and receive them in time for Christmas. My personally favourites are the abookononepage and the iPhone case, simply because I don't own anything like this Wonderland related and would be an amazing addition to my ever growing collection! 

Sincerely, Kimberly.
