Gift guide season is in full swing (I've got one for Etsy gifts under ten pounds, if you fancy) but where I really like to get my ideas is asking my friends what they've actually bought their loved ones for Christmas, so here we are: my realistic gift guide.

I was going to preface this post with something like 'I know I haven't got them much' but absolutely eff that. If you can spend hundreds on each person then I'm genuinely happy for you, but it's not the done thing in our family and I'm sure we're not alone in that.

It definitely isn't wasted on me just how lucky I am to buy and receive presents, especially this year, which is why I will also be including charities in my gifting this year and making some donations.

Mum
AKA Mrs 'don't spend your money on me, I don't need anything'. She may not need anything, but she certainly deserves a treat, so when she went all heart eye emoji on a Radley handbag earlier in the year I bought it there and then and kept it tucked away.

She loves the Bramley Lavender and Petitgrain hand cream, so I've bought a big bottle of that to give with the bag.

Dad
Why do men say they need/want something then buy it themselves? Do they not know you're meant to deliberate for months? Anyway, I had to scrap my idea for Mountain Warehouse vouchers for his walking boots since he rocked up with a pair, and bought him their teal Idris fleece to add to his 20 deep collection instead.

Dads love a practical prezzy, so when I saw a belt press in Home Bargains of all places, I had to get him one! They're used for putting holes in belts and he lost his when we moved. I've also popped in a big bag of Toblerone pieces. 

Sister
After telling me the exact time that Colourpop were restocking their Yoda palette, and how much she loved each shade, the hintosaurus went and bought it herself, so it was back to the drawing board. She now has a LUSH lucky cat bubble bar, a cute cat pin from Paperchase, a bottle of Molton Brown Rhubarb & Rose shower gel, skincare bits from The Botanical Lab, a plum and pear cordial from the farm shop, and a pair of opal, planet-shaped earrings from Etsy to open.

Side note: I am never buying from Molton Brown again. Their packaging is identical to Baylis & Harding which is literally a tenth of the price, and it didn't arrive in any kind of box, so I think it looks really naff for a supposedly luxury item.

Brother-In-Law
Tom loves bears, so I rolled with this! He has a LUSH polar bear plunge bubble bar which is, you guessed it, a white polar bear with a minty scent. He loves painting Warhammer figures so I wanted to get something on the crafty theme and find a bear carving kit on Etsy, but the closest things I could find were Canadian so the delivery cost twice the price of the item.

Instead, I found an Ali Express type jewellery site selling a wooden bear shape with a set of diamond files so he can carve it however he likes, and I'll repackage it to look nicer.

Finally, I ordered 6 slabs of chocolate from a small local maker, The Chocolate Cafe. I've given 3 each to BIL and my boyfriend and boxed them up with a tealight, matches, wooden lolly sticks, marshmallows, and chocolate digestives to make s'mores kits.

a shot taken from above but angled to the right, of presents wrapped in brown kraft paper, tied with white ribbons. Some have white spots and red ribbons. On the top present is a kraft tag with a white glitter christmas jumper stuck on it, with red stripes stuck on the sleeves and a red A on the chest.

Boyfriend
Alongside the s'mores kit above, I've got him a long sleeved burgundy polo shirt from Next, and if he likes it I'll get the forest green one for his birthday (always think ahead!). He has one of those Hotel Chocolat velvetisers so I bought a box of the chocolate orange sachets for it.

My pal Charlotte mentioned that she bought an LED light strip from Hey I'm Home to put behind her monitor to ease eye strain, and since he's practically glued to the computer, I bought him one of those. It connects to an app so you can change the colours, which I know he'll enjoy.

We discovered Schitt's Creek this year and absolutely loved it, so I couldn't resist getting us matching keyrings in the shape of Rosebud Motel key fobs from Etsy for a little giggle.

Nanty and Nuncle
Technically my aunty and uncle but they're practically my grandparents. I don't normally get presents for them but I felt like that needed to change, so I've just got them a little something. For him, a big bar of his favourite fruit and nut chocolate and some lottery tickets. He loves a flutter so please hope they're lucky!

For nanty I'm afraid I have had to give some money to a certain retailer that shares its name with a massive river. I was hoping to avoid them but Kindle credit was just the best gift for my favourite bookworm. She doesn't enjoy holding physical books but adores her Kindle, so she can choose some new titles on me.

Cousin
There is nobody on this planet who loves their locks as much as our Erin. If so much as one hair isn't perfectly straight, well, you'd better steer clear of her. With that in mind, I've got her a salon size bottle of Tigi Bedhead intensive conditioner to try and balance the bleaching and heat damage, and I found a satin pillowcase in the garden centre, of all places.

She and her boyfriend turned 21 this year, and of course, could not mark the occasion properly. To help them belatedly celebrate in style, I bought them vouchers for a royal champagne afternoon tea at The Midland Hotel, Manchester.

There we are, all the things I actually bought for my family this year! What is the best present you've scored for your own nearest and dearest?

A low budget doesn't mean you have to turn to the high street- there are tonnes of Etsy gifts under £10 for you to treat your nearest and dearest this Christmas! 

So, whether you're shopping for Secret Santas under £10, or just need a stocking stuffer for your partner, I've compiled a list of my favourites, from jewellery and candles to DIY decorations. I'm hoping you will find fabulous gifts for your family and friends, and make lots of Etsy sellers do their happy dances.

There we have it, 10 Etsy Christmas gifts under £10, proving that you don't have to have the biggest budget to find personal, thoughtful gifts, and support small sellers. And, if you'd like to splash out a little more, there's a gift guide under £30 on Etsy.com.






We all like to be beside the seaside, and SEA LIFE Blackpool takes you on a trip from the town's sandy beach down to the ocean floor in a matter of minutes. Situated on the promenade just down from the famous Coral Island arcade, and with plenty of parking right behind it, it's easy to find and access.

In the line outside there were big 2m markers, hand sanitiser available in every doorway for easy access, and reminders in the gift shop to only touch items you were likely to buy, but inside it was super difficult to social distance because the tanks just aren't laid out that way, and understandably children get excited to rush from room to room, so parents follow them.

It would definitely be helpful to have some reminders on the floor, and if you are particularly wary I'd recommend heading there on a weekday when it's likely to be quieter.

SEA LIFE Blackpool is home to a huge array of animals, from lobsters, to rays, and even a very bizarre guitar shark. The exhibits are built so you can get as close as possible to really appreciate the beauty of each animal, with an underwater tunnel, lighting to enhance the colours and shimmer of the scales, and an immersive rainforest experience.

Something I really enjoyed about this visit was the information dotted around about SEA LIFE's conservation efforts, such as their coral breeding programme, and their amazing sanctuary for Little Grey and Little White, the beluga whales that hit the news earlier this year after they were released from an entertainment park in Shanghai. With donations from Merlin Entertainment, who own SEA LIFE and other attractions, the whales now have a perfect home in Klettsvik Bay, Iceland.

Obviously I'm no expert but I didn't feel that that care and attention translated to some of the animals within the attraction. My friends summed it up when she said 'there is education about not putting plastic in the sea, but there is plastic in all the tanks' about the numerous fake plants. She also pointed out that some tanks didn't have details about the fish inside, so it felt like they were more for decoration and didn't matter as much as the bigger animals. A lot of the tanks also seemed very small or overcrowded.

For that reason I wouldn't visit SEA LIFE myself again while it is run like this. It's a nice rainy day activity in Blackpool for children, to get them interested in the oceans and the animals within, but personally I would choose another of Blackpool's Merlin entertainments like Madame Tussaud's or The Blackpool Tower Dungeon.

 Blackpool Tower Dungeon is the perfect way to celebrate this Halloween in safe but spooky style. With social distancing and masks enforced, you can enjoy every every bump, rattle, and scream knowing that that your family are safe... well, as safe as they can be in The Dungeon. 

Part of the Merlin group, tickets start at £14, or you can save when buying a bundle pass for Merlin's other attractions like SEA LIFE or Madame Tussaud's

On entry you have your photos taken with props against a green screen, and the magic of editing turns them into souvenirs you can buy at the end, then you head to individual waiting stations before being directed into a dark room, on the floor of which are markers with your team name. 

We were The Doomed, and we knew to follow this sticker system the whole way around to keep a safe distance from other victims, unless the creatures directed us to our seats. It was a really easy way to stick to the 2 metre rule without taking anything away from the overall experience. 

a black and white photo showing my hand holding up two Blackpool Tower Dungeon tickets in front of Blackpool Tower. I have edited red blood splatters on the tickets over the top.

All of the creatures wore masks that fit with their characters and they were still easy to hear, especially because you tour in small groups so there wasn't a lot of background noise. I imagine that this would be good if you are hard of hearing, but you might struggle if you usually lip read.

There was hand sanitiser at regular intervals and the creatures reminded us to use it without breaking character, for example, Judge Blackheart said "now cleanse yourselves of your sins with the sanitiser, you filthy lot". I really appreciated that safety and hygiene were included in the show but still in a fun way.

Apart from the slight changes to make sure that the plague is the only disease lurking in The Dungeon, the rest of the show is exactly what you would expect: lots of jumps, shrieks, and laughs. You are never in real danger, and the creatures won't touch you, but they have absolutely nailed the art of suspense and mind tricks to make you feel comfortably, well, uncomfortable.

The creatures will leave awkward pauses, staring at you until you have to giggle, or single you out to answer questions. Lights go down and creatures appear, and even the chairs themselves will have you on the edge of your seat, as you feel leeches crawling over you in the plague doctor's office, and the Captain poking at your ribs in the smuggler's cave. 

The newest creature to join the cast is Meg the witch. You've entered into her cottage, and now her spirit wants to reap revenge. When the room goes black, the pots and pans rattle wildly, and the windows fly open and closed. Meg moves around the room, leaving you wondering who she will choose as her next victim. I was shaking like a leaf for this bit, and I'm sure my fellow victims were more scared by my yelps than anything they saw down in The Dungeon! 

Finally, you think you will escape, but there is one last surprise in store: the Drop Dead Ride. Take your seat and feel the butterflies in your tummy as you are cranked up higher....higher....higher.... then dropped from a deadly height! Even as someone who hates rollercoasters, this is always a highlight of the visit. Once you get your breath back, it's impossible not to laugh.

With trick or treating on the backburner this year, the whole family can still have a safe and happy Halloween when you dare to visit Blackpool Tower Dungeon. 



Etsy is an absolute treasure trove of gifts for book lovers! Of all my Shop Small posts, this one was probably the most fun to curate because there are just so many talented makers turning their passion for all things literature into beautiful products. I've tried to keep this guide pretty general, but I do have a dedicated Shop Small: Harry Potter if you're looking for a little magic.

What gifts would you buy for your favourite bookworm?
Sick of being skint? Bored of being broke? I've collected five pieces of my best financial advice to help you spend less and save more money. 

Money is a difficult subject. I get it. I get that people can often be insensitive and speak as though everyone has a money tree in their back garden. Before you read this post I want to make it clear that I'm in the very lucky position to live at home and pay a small rent from my part time salary, and I don't have dependants, or debt beyond my student loan.


Close up picture of a ten pound note inside a rose gold purse. In the background is a glass piggy bank with coins around it.The picture reads 'money saving tips I swear by'.

1. Write down everything you spend
How many times have you looked in your purse to see a few pennies blinking back, and thought 'I swear I had a tenner in here the other day'?

It's so easy for little purchases to add up. I write down every penny I spend (even my 37p change in the Tesco charity box) in my diary so I can see exactly where it's all gone and feel more in control.

From here you can reflect and adapt. Say you've spent £130 on ASOS this month, you might want to unfollow them on Instagram to...

2. Reduce temptation
Social media, email updates, billboards... advertising is everywhere and the brains behind it know how to give us exactly what we want. I had more texts from Domino's than my own dad at one point!

Beat them at their own game and unfollow their feeds, unsubscribe from emails, untap the app, and even browse in incognito if you don't want *that* top begging you to buy it every time you open your phone. 

3. Save first, spend later
If you have 100% of your wage, it is so much easier to justify purchases because they seem like smaller bites out of a large amount. If you save X amount first, those bites seem much larger, so you'll reconsider. 

If you have credit cards, debt, or bills, pay or put that money aside before spending, so you're not letting them grow, and therefore you'll save yourself more money in the long run.

A glass piggy bank with a cork nose, filled with small change. There are pink flowers in the background behind it.

4. Choose alternatives
Saving money does not have to mean missing out, but you do want to make smarter choices. Do you really need to order takeaway 3 times this month, or could you batch cook and freeze a curry, and just order once? Do you need to stay in the £200 per night city centre hotel, or could you look further afield for a cheaper hotel and book a travel pass?

A lot of our choices can be influenced by planning ahead, so it's worth sitting down and thinking about what you have coming up. If you know you have a night out at the end of the month, you might add lunch supplies to your shopping list rather than buying it at work every day to save yourself those few extra pounds to enjoy on the night out.

5. Have a goal in mind
Ultimately, the biggest tip to help you save is to have something worth saving for, otherwise you may as well indulge every day. For me, this is a house, I have really big dreams of a large, beautiful, well furnished home, and I know I simply won't achieve that if I don't save all I can now.

I remind myself that an £80 clothing haul now could mean an ornate mirror or lovely rug for my hallway later, and the home is something that matters more to me, so it's easy to make that decision.

What are your best money saving tips?

Thanks to coronavirus, many of us are self isolating, schools are set to close, and small businesses are in need of support more than ever. With that in mind, I've compiled a guide to some of the best boredom-busting craft kits Etsy has to offer. 

Affiliate links used throughout. Prices correct at time of writing. All photos are the property of respective sellers.


Laugh Embroidery Kit
£19.95
NellyMakesEmbroidery
This uplifting design is quite intricate, meaning it will give you hours of screen-free entertainment. Once finished, you can sew the finished embroidery onto a cushion cover, bag, T-shirt, or keep it on the hoop. 


If the idea of of intricate designs is scary, but you still want to use this time to learn about embroidery, NogPepperMe's Beginner Embroidery Kit, starting at £11, is ideal for yourself or older children.


DIY Bath Bomb Kit
£15
Little Shop Of Lathers
If you are showing symptoms of coronavirus, a soak with a homemade bath bomb may help you feel a little better. This kit contains all the base ingredients, strawberry and lime scents, colouring, moulds, and even an apron and gloves so you can make 8-10 bath bombs from your kitchen. 

You can also use the bath bombs as a science experiment if your little ones are at home. Drop one into cold water, one into hot, and time them to see whose dissolves faster.

Natural Lip Balm Making Kit
£18.95
Nutleys
Available in 6 fruity flavours, Nutleys kits are like HelloFresh, but for lip balm! They contain premeasured ingredients so there is no waste or faffing, and they are easy to make with children. Unlike cheap commercial kits, Nutley's include nourishing, all vegan ingredients in their kits, to make lip balm that you'll be happy for your family to use.


Chocolate Brownie Baking Kit
£15.95
homebakeshop
A food tech lesson in a box! Or just a much-needed treat for when you're on day twelve of self isolation, I won't judge. As long as you have eggs and butter, this seller's kits allows you your chocolate fix without risking a trip to the shops. Even the tray and greaseproof paper is provided! 

There are tonnes of indulgent flavours to choose from, all featuring popular chocolate bars. Think Malteser and white chocolate brownies and Mini Egg rocky road. Yum.


Scarf Knitting Kit
£22.50
CastawayKnittingScot
Once you've got the knack of knitting, it's easy to create a scarf while working your way through a new Netflix series. This kit gives you everything you need to get going, and I especially love that the stylish, muted colour schemes they offer mean that the result is a scarf that you'll be happy to gift or wear yourself.


Block Printing Bag Kits
From £14.90
I Do Handmade
Mother and daughter team Becky and Wendy make up these kits, with the star feature being the beautiful wooden blocks which are handcarved in Delhi and fairly traded. Use the stamps to decorate a drawstring bag, tote, or makeup bag, then you could further embellish with beading or stitching for something totally unique.

Once your masterpiece is finished, you'll have the blocks and paint left to create many more designs on items around your home, making this a great value, low waste kit.




Unicorn Card Making Kit
From £4.50
IddyBits
Whack out this kit and you are guaranteed at least 8 minutes of peace! A great screen-free activity that will suit a wide age range, this kit could also be an ideal for using as a maths lesson- for example, if they want to put 2 of the green heart stickers on each card, how many cards will they need? How many more star stickers are there than unicorns?


Cress Growing Kit
£2.99
ThisPaperGarden
We all loved growing cress on paper towels or in egg shells as kids, and this is a really fun way for your children to try it while they're bored indoors. Each day they'll be able to see it grow a little more, and they could take photos to put into a slideshow as a quick IT task. At the end, they'll be rewarded with cress that they can eat!

I hope my round up can help bring some fun to this scary time. Make sure to look after yourselves, and please support the small sellers who need it most if you can.
