Nike Free Runs - £90. The perfect gift for the gym freak or even just the fashionista, these Nike Free Runs were top of my wish list for quite sometime to wear everyday. They are so comfortable and look really good with a pair of leggings or skinny jeans for a casual everyday look. These ones are from Size? and cost £90, so not the cheapest item, but for such a good quality shoe and brand you can't really go wrong! Size? also have some other great picks in their Christmas Gift Guides so make sure you pop along to take a look through!
Theirry Mugler Alien Muse Gift Set - £64.

Scarlett of Soho Sunglasses - £69. I always find that sunglasses are a great gift for Christmas; even though they're not needed there and then, sunglasses are always a really lovely present as they're normally not something someone likes to splash the cash on for themselves. A decent pair of sunglasses can last a lifetime if they're looked after properly and they're definitely a well received gift - especially in my household! These Scarlett of Soho Glasses from Sunglasses Shop are a lovely pair and a classic shape to suit almost everyone.

Millie Mackintosh for John Frieda - £5-£7 . Luxurious Haircare basics are something that I always look forward to getting at Christmas.

This year, I'm all about the Limited Edition Millie Mackintosh Honey Blonde Range from John Frieda. Made with Oatmeal and Honey this set is perfect for making the most of your blonde and emphasising the colour and natural highlights of your hair.
