Gift guide for women aged 20+

Hey guys! TBS here :D

It’s less than a month until Christmas (yay) so I thought it was about time that I made a gift guide! I’m going to be doing a few of these so watch out for the rest.

I’m going to start this mini-series with a Christmas gift guide for her (aged 20+). The gifts I have chosen are only suggestions, and they can be used as a guideline too. I hope you like it, and stay tuned for more gift guides in the future.

1. Lady Million by Paco Rabanne

I don't actually own this scent myself, although I have smelt it many a time and I have completely fallen in love with it! I must buy myself a bottle of this at some point!

ALTERNATIVELY you could buy a gift set which includes this amazing perfume and also a body lotion of the same scent. YUM.

2. A Tiffany necklace

Again, I don't actually own a Tiffany necklace but my friend, who also has a blog (check her out here), owns this necklace in silver and it looks SUPER CUTE!!!

ALTERNATIVELY you could opt for a more mature necklace such as this one (also from tiffany):



3. If the woman you're buying for would prefer a bracelet, why not get her a charm bracelet such as this one from Thomas Sabo:

4. And pair it with a charm such as this one:

5. If you know the lovely lady's shoe size, this next gift is perfect!

These boots are stylish and sophisticated yet look SUPER comfy!

6. Moving on now to something for the bath: LUSH products. I love LUSH with all my heart so it would be a crime if I didn't put at least one LUSH product in. Luckily for you, I've chosen two (yes TWO) LUSH products that I think any woman would enjoy:
Bombardino bath bomb

Golden wonder bath melt

7. Next up is a highly sought-after gift; the Naked 3 Palette. O.M.G. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. I have no words to describe it. Literally. Except for those that I just typed...

Moving on...

8. A MAC lipstick
Every self-respecting woman deserves to own at least one MAC lipstick in her lifetime, so why not make her day and buy her one? If you have absolutely no idea which colour, I'm sure one of the lovely sales people will help you out. Why not go for a festive red, such as this one which is Russian Red. Luuurvely!

9. Clothes. This is a no-brainer IF you know the gift-receiver's size and taste in fashion. Otherwise DON'T DO IT! If you have no other ideas, however, and you kind-of know her size but have no clue about her taste, why not opt for a basic wardrobe must-have such as a plain white skater dress like this one from Topshop or if you're feeling a bit more adventurous, this navy dress from Reiss. It's up to you! But remember to ask for a gift receipt!

If you can't be bothered to click those links, here's a picture of the two dresses

Topshop dress:

Reiss dress:

10. Last but not least, why not buy a trusty bag? Granted, the bag I'm about to use as an example is rather pricey, but how much do you love this woman?

So there we have it! Ten gifts for a woman aged 20 or over. Fantastic!

Until next time,

So yesterday I did a small introductory blog post but today I'm bringing out the big guns: 20 facts about me! I thought since you guys don't really know much about me, I should do this tag. So here I am. Doing this tag...OK let's get this party started!

Hello everybody!

Hey there! TheBabsterSpeaks here. You know, that awkward vlogger? Yeah. HER. Well, I have a friend who has a very successful blog and she's somehow convinced me into making my own. So here it is! TheBabsterBlogs!

On TheBabsterBlogs, I'm going to try and focus on nail art, colour combo ideas, beauty (in particular lip products) and photography. Please be kind as I'm new at this whole blogging thing, although my friend will be giving me a few tips and tricks along the way! If you'd like to check out my friend's blog, click here. Other than that, have a splendid day, and I'll see you soon!
