Five things I try to do:

Take time out for yourself, buy yourself a coffee, go for a nice walk, read a chapter of your book.

Don’t just say yes all of the time – sometimes its ok to say, no I actually don’t want/agree with that.

Take the time to indulge in your hobbies.

Even if someone annoys you – take a deep breath & kill them with kindness.

When you are feeling down and being unkind to yourself, think about how you would feel if someone treated your loved ones like that – it makes you sad doesn’t it?! – so don’t treat yourself like that.

&

if all else fails, talk to someone, anyone. You are not alone.

Stay.

Mental Health Awareness week runs from 10th -16th May 2021.

Mental health is so important, ao much so that I probably can’t really articulate in this blog post, the extent to which it is.

We’ve all been affected by mental health in some way, whether its ourselves, someone we know, or someone we don’t, like a celebrity we might admire.

It’s a part of all of our lives and yet there is still so much stigma surrounding it, its still not discussed enough in the same way we would a physical illness. Its affects can be just as devastating as something physical… if not even more so, especially to come to terms with.

You are not alone.

Your feelings are valid.

And it is ok not to be ok.


A smile can hide a multitude of feelings, but sometimes even doing that can be too much, and thats ok too. Talk, to anyone, someone.

Talking about mental health doesn’t have to been seen as negative, its just being honest.

& the world needs more of that. Just think, it could help you and do many others.

Talk. Take control. Keep going. Take it one day at a time. Do something you enjoy. If its bad now, it hasn’t always been. Focus on that. It will pass.


& this, for anyone who needs it, from the brilliant author Matt Haig.

Stay.


Don’t suffer alone. It won’t always be an easy conversation but it will be so worth it.

I hope that people would know, but incase you don’t ~ I’m always here if you need a chat, day or night.

Blogmas Day Seventeen: Stocking Filler Ideas ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป


โ€ข Stocking Fillers โ€ข


I love stockings and finding little bits to go in them, (helping out Santa obv!)

I generally go by the rule of something edible, something to do something to wear, something to pamper and something fun/silly!

I feel like the fun/silly present is easier to be more specific, depending on who the stocking is for…

So, here are some general ideas for you!

A book ๐Ÿ“š Festive theme optional.
Because is there anything for festive than a Chocolate orange ?!
A pampering face mask!
A useful item but also nice to receive, u think they are handy and its always nice to try new ones.
Something fun! A little game like Top Trumps, Uno or Dobble are great for Christmas morning/day time for a bit of fun. I love Dobble.
A new Christmas decoration. Little personalised or initial ones are cute.
A CLASSIC. No explanation needed.
A little filled bauble with some treats! Cute and a little different.
Christmassy socks! Or cosy ones. Either way, who doesn’t love a sock (and they are always handy hey!)

Another little pamper product such as a bath bomb or something similar. Lush have some funky, festive ones.


I hope this helps!

Until Next Time,

Blogmas 2019 Day Sixteen: Christmas stocking gift guide: For adults ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป

I’m sorry, I don’t care what anybody says, you are NEVER too old for a stocking.

So, if you are making one for your older children/partner or even yourself! Then hopefully these ideas are helpful.

I did a childrens edition earlier on on Blogmas, this year so I will leave that here .

I will also leave below the link to my stocking guide from last years Blogmas. That one is a more general guide to stockings and my top 5 categories to include, instead of specific gift ideas.

Stocking guide

Let’s get started!


Edible items


A Chocolate orange, all supermarkets
Try and look out for when they are on offer.

I think are currently half price in Tesco.

Chocolate coins, Wilko, 50p

Chocolate Santas, ยฃ1

Personalised toblerone, prezzybox ยฃ12.99

Available in milk and white.

Or any of their favourite chocolates or sweets.

Assorted Christmas quiz card games, Amazon from ยฃ3.99

Retro pocket games with LCD screen, Prezzybox ยฃ14.99


Books


Either a nice Christmassy book or a book you think they could get stuck into in the New Year.

I love reading an I think a book is a perfect gift, and fits well in a stocking.

Adult colouring books, Waterstones from ยฃ7.99

Give the gift of calm! These are perfect for taking a few moments to yourself.

100 books scratch off poster, Prezzybox ยฃ11.99

This is s really cool idea and great if you find it hard to choose a book!

A4 Notebooks, Paperchase from ยฃ8

They have loads of super cute notebooks in Paperchase. It is absolute stationary heaven so it is definatly a shop worth looking at if you are making a stocking for a stationary lover.

They come in loads of different sizes too, A4, A5 & A6.

Notebooks, Wilko from ยฃ3 depending on the size.

They do some really cute designs as well as lots of different sizes of notebook, to choose from.

They also do plain jotter style notebooks for ยฃ3 which you could customise for the person you are giving it to, or even print of a picture and pop that on the front to personalise it.

Magnets, Paperchase ยฃ3

I love these super sassy, super relatable adult magnets.They sum up adulthood perfectly.

Postcards, Paperchase 80p each

These are so cool. I love popping in there to see what different ones they have. These are perfect as ‘mini prints’ to gift someone. You could even frame one or two, or just pop a few that you think they would like into an envelope.


Pamper products


Face/hair/eye masks, Primark

They do absolutely loads of different masks to help hydrate, cleanse and freshen up your skin.

These are super cheap and work really well (I’ve used them myself!) They make a great stocking filler and everyone deserves a little pamper every now and then!

Lush Festive bath bombs, from ยฃ3.95

They have got some amazing bath bombs in their festive Christmas collection this year.

I love a bath and these festive treats would make a great addition to a stocking.

The festive ones are super cute too. My personal fave so far is the ‘Not so secret Santa’ bath bomb.

Its a snowball with santa arms and legs sticking out like he has been caught by a rolling snowball. It smells amazing, sweet with notes of citrus and sherbet. Plus, its one of the more reasonably priced ones at ยฃ3.95.

Bath Bombs, Wilko ยฃ1

The Body Shop, from ยฃ6

The Body Shop have some really cool pamper bits available in store and online. They even have a ‘stocking fillers’ section which has some great sets from little hand creams with a nail files, their ‘Delights bags’ where you get 3 or 4 little bits and their body butters too. I’ll leave a link because its definatly worth checking out.

The Body Shop ‘Stocking Fillers’

Lynx Gift sets, Amazon ยฃ9

Superdry Trio of scents, Superdrug ยฃ10

Beard buddy shaving apron, Online from ยฃ9.99

I’ve bought one of these for my husband (exciting haha) but needed! Very handy for all that beard maintenance.

Initial wash bag, Matalan ยฃ4


Accessories


Statement earrings, Primark from ยฃ2

These are lovely and are really reasonably priced too. Great for a stocking to add to your Christmas day outfit.

Funky socks, River Island ยฃ3

Festive Feast’ beard baubles, Rover Island ยฃ8

These are a bit of a silly one, but I’m sure they would be a good laugh for any bearded family members this Christmas!

Pjs! Matalan, from ยฃ12.50

Because who doesn’t love new pjs?! Especially at Christmas. Plus, something cosy is a vital part of any stocking.


So, that’s my little (hopefully) helpful stocking filler gift guide for adults! I’ve tried to cater to both men and women.

I know the struggle of trying to think of interesting bits for a man’s stocking!!

Thanks for reading ๐Ÿ˜Š
