It's that time again, where I pull together what I like to think are the best last-minute beauty gifts for Christmas 2019! I like to keep my yearly Christmas Gift Guide posts realistic and I personally think £20 and under Christmas beauty gifts are just that. These are the kind of gifts that while still on a budget don't look cheap and are from well-respected brands. 

I hope this gives some Christmas shopping inspiration or simply an idea of what to ask for this year or to mark down to snap up in the post-Christmas sales. 



By now it's more than likely that you've been asked what you want for Christmas this year from both family and friends, and if like me your response is "let me think about it" then see this as a blog post written with you in mind. 

More than ever before we buy what we need as and when we need it and while our head is thinking about what to buy others for Christmas it can be tricky to know what to put on our own Christmas list, even if it's vague to allow for a semi-surprise come the big day. But creating a Christmas list however old you are can be a wise thing to do! It takes the stress off the person wanting to buy you a gift and you know you will receive something you like rather than something that's destined for a drawer or dare I say it; the present cupboard (we are all aware of this method of recycling unwanted gifts, right?). 

So without further ado, here is a relaxed gift guide of sorts with suggestions of what you may possibly want to ask Santa for this year!



It's that time of year again! Well actually I'm a little late with writing my Christmas list this year as I simply didn't know what I wanted - I blame getting older!

But thankfully I had a good think and realised there's actually quite a bit I would be very grateful to unwrap come Christmas Day. While this isn't a gift guide it may give you ideas what to ask for or even what to earmark for when the Boxing Day sales land - let's face it all mentioned products will plummet in price on December 26th!


Aldi is renowned for its beauty and skincare dupes and savings so just last week I wondering if this year they have launched any Beauty Gift Sets for Christmas so I heading in-store and low and behold they did - with much more new gifts than I expected!

So I decided I needed to put together a blog post detailing all the Aldi Beauty Christmas Gifts available this December 2019 from some lovely Jo Malone dupes to an amazing Lacura New Year Beauty Countdown Advent Calendar and even a range of Too Faced Christmas beauty dupes! Plus the Christmas Special Buys coming up at the bottom of this post! 

Side note: This post isn't sponsored... I just love shopping at Aldi! 





Last year I created my first ever eBay Christmas Gift Guide and not only did I love finding the best gift ideas for you, but the post also got a good response. So I'm bringing The Ultimate eBay Christmas Gift Guide back for 2019!

Below you will find gift ideas from only UK sellers with free delivery. When I can I've kept everything as budget-friendly as possible with nothing over £15. I really hope you find a few gifts here as I personally shop on eBay for Christmas presents and it means I grab a bargain while also picking up items that you wouldn't necessarily find in shops.

Before rushing into Christmas shopping for others I like to prepare for Christmas. From adding to my Christmas decorations to ensuring I have a few new festive nail polishes and I've added to my cookbook collection. 

This is all of course done on a budget as I try not to overspend on myself at this time of year (unless it's on a beauty gift set I can't resist!) so for me, there's no better place to shop than on eBay.

Below are a few Buy It Now listings that have caught my eye recently, all UK based and with free delivery. I hope you find a few festive treats here too!

Now is the time we are seeing a huge influx of Christmas beauty gift sets that while aimed at gifting others, I know as a beauty lover I and many others will simply want to treat themselves to. 

But while I repeat 'I must resist' under my breath while Christmas shopping, I believe a little treat, especially a money-saving one, is certainly allowed in the lead up to the 'big day'! Below I've sourced a range of affordable Christmas beauty gifts from the totally inexpensive to the luxury but with a huge saving, all of which I'm really impressed with!
