Guest Post: Sophie of Pearls & Timepieces

Before I start can I just say a big thank you to AB for asking me to guest post on her blog! When she first asked I will be honest I didn’t quite know what I was going to blog about! There I was sitting on my bed, staring out into space and without really realising I found myself staring at the stocking hanging on my fireplace and it hit me, a Christmas post! Or more specifically a secret santa post.


Yes it is that time of year when the snow starts to fall (well at least it is Scotland anyway!)



When the Christmas markets and fairs come to town

And when offices across the country are pulling names out of hats for their department wide secret Santa, which is often followed by the thought ‘Ok, Now what should I get them?!’. So I thought I would (hopefully) provide a bit of inspiration to anyone who is struggling to decide what to get someone for Christmas, whether it be a secret Santa present or just a normal present, hopefully this will help a bit, and with every gift being a bargain at £10 or under (which I think is about $15) and available online, you don’t even have to leave your seat to buy them! The only question that remains is, which one do I buy myself?!


Bow ring: Tattydevine .com £10.50, Toadstool broach: punkypins.co.uk £6 Teatime necklace: Accessorize.com £10, Rose tights: Misselfridge.com £8, Clock earrings: Asos.com £6, Leather bag: Peacocks.com £10, Pearl earrings: asos.com £6, Cupcake money box: Urbanoutfitters.co.uk £10

I hope this helps!! And I also hope you are all a bit more on top of Christmas shopping than I am :) xo

Thank you, Sophie, for a glimpse of the holidays in Scotland and for the selection of Secret Santa gifts! Wish we had a Christmas market and fair out here! They look like a blast! Sophie is a dear blogging friend whom I've known since I started blogging last year. Her posts are always a delight to read and she's such a talented baker! Her cupcakes are lovely!
