Blogmas 4; Gift Guide

Hi guys,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and started you week the right way. I've had one busy weekend, but today is Monday, it's the start of a new week and this week shall rock!
I've had my share of searching for gifts last week, which turned out to be pretty hard. I think Christmas is that time you want to buy someone that gift they'll treasure for the rest of the year. Which makes this so so hard haha, so I thought I'd give you guys a little peak into what I'd buy friends and family. I've diveded it into gifts under 25 euro's, between 25 and 50 euro's and 50 and up for the people who want to spend a little more.

Spending under 25 euro's.
>>The Night Before Christmas for the sisters, sisters-in-law and friends this is one of the things you think about. It's lovely to get something to pamper yourself with.
>>Meal in a Mug book great for a friend or just as a stocking filler. This little books shows you multiple recipes to make yourself or to suprise others with.
>>Blond Amsterdam Mom Mug for your mom or any other motherly figure in your life. Just a little sign of appreciation. 
>>Coldplay Ghost Stories Live DVD for the dad or maybe even boyfriend that loves music. It's a lovely gift, to watch with friends or just the two of you ofcourse.

Spending between 25 and 50 euro's.
>>The Mortal Instruments Boxset for the bookworm or the girl/guy that loved the Divergent series and the Hunger Games series. An amazing boxset with so many books their bookcravings will be covered for a while. 
>>Polo Red by Ralph Lauren for the boyfriend or maybe brother. This fragrance I love on a guy, don't know what it is but I love it!
>>MUK LUKS Jenna Slipper for the girl with the cold feet, like me, this is a really nice gift. Any slipper will do ofcourse but it's nice to be walking around the house in these on a cold winters day.
>>Sandalwood Shaving Starter Kit for the men in your life. Ofcourse some of us like our men beardy however others might like them clean shaved and not so stingy. 

Spending a little more
>>Kitchenaid Blender for the mom who makes you a smoothie every morning. Or just for someone who loves cooking and making new recipes. 
>>GoPro Hero 4 for the men/women in your life that need to make sure they got it all on tape. This little handy camera is ideal for someone who'd love to be able to film during surfing or snowboarding or something like that. 
>>J'adore Dior Gift Set for the girl that loves to smell like a million dollars, or just to smell really nice ofcourse.
>>Bose SoundDock for the boys who say that your laptop's speaker isn't loud enough!

Hopefully I've covered pretty much all bases. May the shopping spree begin!

Love,
Renée

Blogmas 2: The Christmas Tag

Hi guys.

Today is the second day of Blogmas and since I like doing, ready and watching tags I thought I'd do the Christmas Tag!
So all questions are Christmas based and I combined two Christmastags I found online! one by Zoella and one by EllesGlitterGossip 

1. When do you start getting excited about Christmas?
I get excited around the end of November, when I know it's almost December and the Christmas decorations in store and around town go up!

2. What are your favourite Christmas Films?
I love A Nightmare Before Christmas, which is a mix between Halloween and Christmas movie. I also am in love with Love Actually!!

3. What do you do on Christmas day?
Normally when I'm at home for Christmas I love just hanging in my PJ's, watching movies, reading blogs or books and catching up on youtube! Getting ready and having a lovely, and huge, Christmas dinner with my family. However last year and this year we'll be in Austria so I'll spend my day having a lovely breakfast, snowboarding and having dinner!

4. What do you like to do on your Christmas break?
Where I live we have a two week Christmas break. We usually go for a snowboarding and skiing trip for a week. Normally the other week I spend catching up with friends, relaxing and getting everything ready for the next year!

5. Favourite Christmas meal or treat?
I love love love the Christmas cookies, the chocolate wreaths you can put up in the Christmas tree. My favourite meal is dinner because it's alsways so huge and lovely.

6. Have you ever made a Snowman?
YES! I made one last year I believe with the boy and some friends.

7. Do you have any Christmas traditions?
Yes, my family and I have the same routine every year even when every year is slightly different. We wake up, get breakfast ready and unwrapping our Christmas presents. Then we'll have breakfast and relax untill it's time to get ready for dinner which my dad usually makes and help him out.

8. Which are your favourite Christmas songs?
Oh boy! Last Christmas - Wham! or the Maine, Santaclaus is coming to town - JB, All I want for Christmas is you - Mariah Carey,  Jingle Bells - Michael Buble.. I usually just try to find a Christmas playlist on youtube OR listen to a Christmas cd.

9. White lights or coloured lights?
White, I love a bit of colour but everything normally has a nice red or white or sparkle I love my lights to be white to balance it out.

10. Real or fake Christmas tree?
REAL! I love the sent of a lovely Christmas tree, it smells like Christmas and warmth and love! One of my roommates and I actually bought our Christmas tree two days ago and it has been standing in our living room smelling amazing! We also got a little tree hihi!

So, I hope you liked this little peak into my Christmas day and I shall see you guys tomorrow with a new Blogmas! :D

Love,
Renée

On the first day of Blogmas..

... my true love sent to me!

Hi guys,

December finally arrived and I am beyond excited! This month is packed with study, Christmas parties, a lot of Christmas shopping, singing carols whilst showering, watching Christmas movies and hopefully lots and lots of snow!
I can't wait to start with this Blogmas adventure!

This month my blog will be all about December and Christmas! I'll upload three posts each week, the first on a Monday, the second on a Wednesday and the last on Friday. Each post will be different however they will a be pretty Christmassy!
Coming up are not only a Christmas tag but also some OOTD's, Christmas present idea's for him and her and so much more.
This will be a pretty crazy month combining it all but I can't wait.
I'll also be leaving for Austria just before Christmas but no worries, the last Blogmas post will be on the twenty-fourth of December! I hope you all will like this Blogmas.

Can't wait to start!
Love,
Renée
