Like I could possibly do A Super Special gift guide for her and forget all about the lovely men in our lives, whether its a wonderful dad or your lovely boyfriend, I decided to put together a few Super Special gifts because we all need a little help this time of year and I too love seeing other peoples ideas when I’m stumped on what to buy!
I personally love all of these gifts whether they are stocking fillers or “The Big One”, there’s still time to grab him something special.
There are some Christmas presents that are pretty much fail safe and a watch from Michael Kors is most certainly one of them. Watches are be a huge part of a mans personal style and all the men in my life are nothing short of obsessed with a bit of wrist candy so if ever I am in doubt I know which stores to head to. I picked this one up from Fraser Hart Jewellers who have such a great range of not only Michael Kors but anything from Daniel Wellington right up to the coveted Chanel J12!
But the best thing about Michael Kors watches is even if they say “mens” it really doesn’t have to mean that. I own a few myself and not one of them is from the ladies collection, which also makes me think that this stunner might not make it under the tree after all!
New Kicks
All the men in my life are currently going through a fitness craze, my dad looks better than he ever has, my boyfriend can usually be found in the gym and my brother has a developed slightly inappropriate man crush on him since he too started hitting the weights. So I think a pair of kicks would get me into any of their good books right now! However in current trends trainers really aren’t just for sports so they aren’t limited to just the health freaks that are the Millens. I picked these Adidas ZX Flux mesh trainers from footasylum, where they have a vast selection of the coolest kicks to fit everyone’s style/Gym routine.
I’m having a bit of a Reiss moment right now and I can’t stop shopping on their online store and even though Ali has been well and truly spoiled this Christmas, I couldn’t help but nab this full leather wallet for £65 to go in his stocking.
His current wallet has been falling apart for a while and I really wanted to get him something smart without an extortionate price tag and this one really fit the brief!
What could be better than the gift of your favourite songs played as clear as if it were being performed live in your living room, or even in your hotel room because this speaker from Bose not only looks good in your home (I know because I bought this for Ali when we moved into our new home and it sits proudly in our TV unit) but packs away perfectly for those of you who like me, find themselves here there and everywhere on a regular basis.
I’m one of those people who finds many fragrances over whelming so what my partner wears is important to me. It’s the smell I identify him with, like a comfort blanket when I smell him it is reassuring. But I needn’t have worry as Ali has great taste, so I picked him up a bottle or two of one of his favourites by Hugo Boss in the new limited edition bottle available now from The Perfume Shop, a perfect stocking filler!
I have had so much fun putting together these gift guides, I do hope they have been helpful and if you have any suggestions for other gifts I would love to know.

The Autumn Equinox has arrived and as the nights draw in there’s so many opportunities to reconnect with nature.
Hosting a very special breakfast for my girls in honour of @princestrust and @thebrilliantbreakfast to raise money to help young women turn their lives around through work, education and training. A donation of £5 can enable a woman to simply travel to an interview which could go on to change her life forever so I would absolutely love it if you would join me in hosting your own Brilliant Breakfast between the 9th and 15th October, whether it’s simply coffee with a close friend, or encouraging your entire office to get involved, the funds raised will go towards helping young women, aged 11-30 create better futures for themselves.
And thank you to my angel @hello.petal.flowers for giving her time and creative flare to bring my vision for the breakfast to life, of course you don’t have to go with florals like me, but if that’s something you enjoy this is the perfect opportunity to throw a lovely breakfast with your girlfriends with a cause that will help so many other women, front and centre!
