For the past 7 years I’ve produced Christmas Gift Guides, generally splitting them into categories based on who the gifts might be for, or the type of personality the receiver may have. 2022 felt a little different, so I’ve gone another way for the first part of the guides. …
It’s a little unfathomable to me, but some folk don’t care a mince pie. Something about dried fruit just doesn’t do it for them. Personally, I think they’re crazy, but let’s be inclusive. There are two ways to go about this recipe and either is perfectly acceptable, absolutely no judgement here. You can make your …
Part II of the 2020 Christmas Gift Guides is dedicated to smaller, independent brands and makers. You may have noticed (hopefully so anyway) that my Christmas gifting and wrapping guides have included more items from smaller businesses than ever before. That’s not just because it’s been an incredibly tough year for many, but also because …
This year’s gift guides have been somewhat of a mammoth undertaking. They’re larger than ever before and they’re split across several posts. Here you’ll find Him, Her, Them & You.

I’ve been making these little paper stars from left over scraps of wrapping paper for a few years now. If you’ve been with me a while, you’ll likely have noticed them in my previous Christmas Wrapping blogs. Each year they sit tucked in the ribbons on my family and friend’s presents, though in past years …
As ever, Jo Malone London‘s Christmas offering is a glorious affair. This year’s sparkling, dazzling Art Deco themed campaign see the cast dancing their way through golden train carriages, their arms piled high with some of the best packaging I’ve ever seen the brand produce. I make no apologies for being an absolute …
I wonāt insult anyoneās intelligence by recapping what 2020 has thrown at us, but I do want to emphasise the fact that I think it threw it at us. You can interpret that however youād like to I guess; be it the general us as a society, or the us that is you and …
