Too much sexy in one picture.
#np Die Young-Ke$ha.
Hello Lovelies. I know it's been 4 days when i said i would be updating daily, BUT i've decided to post like every few days, cos i don't necessarily have something to post about everyday, so some posts will be topical, others will be collective daily ones.
Sooo, today marks 20 days before Christmas, which is crazy fast! Seeing as i am starting work this saturday & stopping only on the 21st, i have to get all my christmas shopping done by this friday, OR get stuck with last minute shopping like 3 days before christmas? NO. so yup, i've pretty much cleared my christmas shopping list. I shan't discuss the details of that here, cos like, er, people i'm shopping for actually read this blog & i don't want them knowing what i got them. Sooo, yupp, on to the topical post of today..
MY CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE.
Okayyy, so it's that time of the year again & yesss, it's time to rape the shiz outta your wallets & bank accounts & shop for gift for your loved ones. It can sometimes be really easy to shop for people, but sometimes or most of the time, it's not.
You'd think that shopping for your closest loved ones is easy, cos yano you see them a lot, you know what they like & all, WRONG. I find it's the hardest to shop for the people closest to me. Especially my parents. MYGAWD, like you're afraid they might not like, might not need it, might not approve of you buying it. Then there's whether or not you can afford it. HA.
This is no professional gift guide, but it is just a brief guide of what you could consider getting for your loved ones.
For Her.
1. Jewellery.
Like they say, Diamonds are a girl's best friend. HAHA, well not really. But still, some girls love them their bling. & when i say jewellery, i mean like accessories, like good quality accessories, not like 3 for $10 cheap ass shit from talisman. Pleaseeee, don't go be stupid & get those kinda cheap-ish, easily rusting or tarnihsing kind of jewellery.
Also try places like GUESS for super pretty bracelets, They range form $50-about $250. but they're super nice & good quality.
The most high end, you can try Tiffany & co. i know they sell really elegant necklaces & bracelets.
Sterling silver heart pendant Necklace $295
Sterling Silver Heart bracelet $440
Ha, if you want the diamonds, they're al 1k plus & i'm not gonna go into those deets. Simply cos i doubt the people reading this can or will actually spend that kinda money.
2. Perfume.
This also requires knowing what kind of scent she likes. For example, some girls prefer floral scents, some girls like musky scents, some girls like spicy scents, i, however, like fruity or vanilla-ish scents.
All the perfumes featured range from $55-$90 (depending on sizes). & can be found in sephora outlets. unless stated.
The one on the left is newer Taylor Swift perfume, it's a sweeter, fruity scent, as compared to the one on the right, which is her forst perfume which is muskier & more floral, which i don't like. HOWEVER, the newer one isn't out in sephora stores in singapore YET, hopefully they do come out in time for christmas!
The Lady Gaga Fame perfume was actually a pleasant surprise. smelt it in stores with Nell that day, was actually really nice! Also it's actually a black fluid. like omg, whats cool is, it doesn't actually stain your clothing & all! It is a mix of fruity & floral scent. It's not too over powering too.
This is my all time favourite! I would definitely recommend this cos i personally lovee it & all the people who've smelt it on me, are always like omg, that smells great! It's a fruity, sweet scent.
& they even have a new one, Viva La Juicy La Fleur which is a floral scent, & although i don't really like floral scents, i loveeee this!
3. Clothes.
Please don't be stupid & her some basic tank top or basic shorts. Like, COMEON. she can get that on her own. If you're gonna get a girl clothes, get her a piece she reallyyyyyy like, fuck make sure she loves it or at least be something the girl will be like woahhh when she opens it. Like a leather jacket, a really nice dress, a band tee, a customised jacket? Or best is if it's a piece you she already lives, but either can't afford or just won't spend that kinda money on it.
TopShop Leather Jacket $149
H&M sells a really similar at $80.
Forever 21 sequinned dress $39.
LOVE IT. like for countdown ohmuhgod.
HOLY, if i can find this in stores, i'm defo getting it for countdown.
Forever 21party dress $39
Please tell me i'm not the only one who wants those tees cos harry wears them. no? okay:/
Whatev. i'm weird i want all of these tees cos harry wears them. lol bite me.
4. Make Up/Nail Polish.
Do this only if the person you're buying for is really into makeup & not just using makeup on occasions. Also, make sure you really know what specific she likes & uses. cos if you get a brand she doesn't like, chances are either she won't use it, or she will end up breaking out if she does use it. As for Nail polishes, you can't go wrong with getting a colour that she likes or one that suits her, hell you can even get her a few colours to choose from.
Do check out sephora cos they have a crazyyyyy number of great deals & value gift sets during christmas!
Clinique Chubby lipstains gift set $50> if i'm not wrong.
FINALLY there's NARS in singapore. Woop. This set costs about $100 BUT it has a value of about $140. Which is really great, cos it's like getting a free full size product!
This is the Sephora Colour Daze blockbuster set, get this, it costs about $62, but has a fugging $580 value. Thats almost 10 times its price! HOMYGAWD. if you have a friend that is crazy for make up, get this! Cos it's a wide selection of great quality eye shadows for such a great value!
Lastly, stick to the classic, Naked Palette. One can neve go wrong with neutrals. If you wanna spice things up a notch, get the Naked 2! both @ $80.
For Nails, you an't go wrong with either OPI, Essie Or china Glaze. But I hear Revlon has really good Nail polishes too!
The Sephora by OPI tinsel town 16 piece mini nail polish. Gorg colours! $60, but has a $110 value!
Or you could shop at Smoochiezz Where they sell OPI @$10, Essie @$9 & China Glaza @$8 & have lots of cool nail polish sets too!
6. GIFT CARD.
This can either be insincere or really thoughtful, simply cos it could either means you put too little thought into it, or you tried but don't know what the person wants & don't wanna fuck the present for them, so therefore, the gift card.
(sidenote, it's already 12 plus & i just died doing the 'for her' gift guide. but imma continue on to do the 'for him' gift guide, cos i love y'all)
For Him.
1. Techno Shiz.
This really depends on your budget.
Itouch 5!!!! Even i want it! ($300-$600)
Headphones! I like Jays more than Beats!
Ranges from about $$60-160 i think, like different models & types!
Guys & their games. Heh, i'm getting a Nintendo DS one for my younger cousin. The price range is really wide for this, like there are computer games, PSP games, Nintendo Games, Xbox Games, But be prepared to spend more than $30 & this can go all the way up to about $100+ for different kinda games.
2. Clothes.
Let's just be honest. For guys, it's kinda all about the brand. Ha.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Leather Jacket. Chris's one. I LOVE IT on him. Gahhh. BUT, it's $700. ha. to those who can afford, kudos.
This pic is for fun. & feels. (cos i wouldn't recommend getting A&F, toooooo overrated.)
Hollister Tees. YES, it is a sister brand of A&F, BUT, there isn't an outlet in Singapore YET, so it's not as overrated as A&F, YET. lol. $58. Get it online or overseas.
Nudie Jeans.
Yesh it is pretty overrated, but, guys like it so, er go with it? BUT it is kinda over-priced too! Like $300 for a pair of jeans, homygawd.
3.Wallets
Calvin Klein Leather Wallet, $149.
Got this for my cousin. It's okayyy cos he doesn't read my blog.
Fred Perry Leather Wallet, $150+ i think,
Wanted to get this initially for my cousin, BUT this brands just been ruined by too many stupid ahbengs, so nuh. My cousin's not some lame low-life.
1.5k, nuff said. Maybe for your dad?
4. Perfume.
If you're a girl & buying for a guy, say your boy friend or dad. It's great cos you buy what you would like to smell on the person, cos honestly, guys wear whatever they feel suits them & what others say smell good on them. Not so much of giving a fuck of whether the hell its a floral, musky or fruity scent. HAHA.
All the perfumes featured range from $55-$90 (depending on sizes). & can be found in sephora outlets. unless stated.
The New Giorgio Armani 'Armani Code' Cologne.
It's fruity & vanilla-ish. Heh, if i had a boyfriend, he'd wear this.
Hugo Boss. This smells, nice. like Chris uses this & i love it on him, so idk, i like this scent. i have a very sensitive nose, so if i can take th smell of this, pretty damn sure you all can. & it makes Chris smell supa manly. Haha. depsite his childish-ass attitude.
Abercrombie & Fitch FIERCE Cologne for men. This is a very distinct smell. Like when guys walk pass me with this on, i instantly can tell it's a&f cos i smell it everytime i walk in to the A&F store. It's really strong, but surprisingly, i actually love it. (sold only in A&F stores)
Bleu by Chanel.
Firstly, just look at the goddamn ad. It's gaspard ulliel. Him on the ad makes it so sexy already. What makes it sexier. Harry Styles uses this. (& he is my boyfriend) So it should smell great & he's 18, if he can pull this off, god i'm sure your boyfriend can too.
Basically, chanel, nuff said. (Sold only in Chanel stores)
5. Watches/ Shoes
Fossil Watches. They have both mature & younger models & designs. ($100-$300)
G-shock Watches More to the sporty side, probably not suitable for dads? more suitable for maybe bros & boyfriends. ($70-$150)
Red Wing shoes. Cos i think doc marts are just toooo overrated. ($200-$400)
Pedro, for the dads. Woop, check out the anchor point store cos they sell the shoes & retail price as they're an outlet store! ($50-$200)
6. Gift Card.
Lesson of the day, SHOPPING FOR GUYS IS NOT HARD COS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO GET, BUT ALSO REALLYYYYYY EXPENSIVE. Unless you're lucky & you get a sentimental kinda boyfriend, then you can just make him a card, bake him something or take him & maybe his family out for a nice christmas meal!
Okay, This was a really long post that i probably took the longest to do! But i hope it was helpful for you guys! I can't ait for Christmas ahhh! & imm be blogging tomorrow on a update post & my personal christmas wish list! So stay tuned!
Thanks for reading & loves, x.
BYE.
