Christmas Gift Guide – Crafters and Bakers

Christmas is Coming!

I can’t believe how close Christmas is now – my work Christmas do is on Friday and I’ve got my dress (from Collectif), my nails booked (at Final Nail in Brighton), and my blow dry booked in (at the fab Forde Hair on Brighton’s North Street).

There are still a few gifts to get though – come on, we can’t all be super organised!! If you’re still looking for something to get people in your life who may love crafting, baking, or similar things, then you’re in luck! I’ve come up with a nifty gift guide which should be able to help with at least a couple of people. And for me, when I see something someone else has discovered, my efficiency-seeking brain gets happy – more time for me, more time for craft, more time for baking, and more time for Netflix!

Anyway, let’s get on with the goodies.

Coast to Coast Christmas Menu

If you follow me on instagram (if you don’t, why not? Do it now!) You’ll see that a few weeks ago I went to Coast to Coast in Brighton to sample their Christmas menu. I really love my food, as you can tell from many of my blog posts, and the lovely people at Coast to Coast invited myself and a number of other lovely Brighton bloggers (I’ll list them below) to come along and enjoy their foodie goodness!

British mail box

I write about food a lot (as well as craft and some other things I love to write about on this blog), and I love food, but when I was younger my relationship with food was somewhat different.

HEMA Sticker and Stationery Haul!

When I was in Amsterdam a while back, I managed to visit HEMA a few times and loved it. My friend Tizz had mentioned over the years how much she loves it, and I was a little jealous that the Dutch had it, but we didn’t.

But this month all changed. HEMA came to the UK They opened up a shop at Victoria, in London, plus two additional shops in Kingston and Bromley, which are in outer London.I’d joke and say that us sending Primark over the Rotterdam was the deal breaker!

The Week That Was: 20th -26th July 2014

It was been super hot and sunny here in Brighton and Hove this week, and it looks as though it will continue for a while, getting rainy tomorrow and a little cooler towards the end of the week.

I’ve been spending most lunches this week either on the beach or chilling in Palmeira Square, which is close to where I work. How have you been enjoying the hot weather? Or do you not enjoy it at all?

This is my week!
